If Rod Smith gets cut...

TenandSix:Unacceptable · 07-12-2007, 04:40 AM

should we take him?

I just saw a PFW whispers headline that says he might be a TC casualty.\

Jumping the gun a bit, but thoughts?

If he comes at vet min, otherwise pass on him, he is too old...

dmek25 · 07-12-2007, 07:49 AM

he is like 3542 years old. i have always liked him as a player, but too old

Good football player, still productive. Just getting old. MAYBE VET MIN.

Wow I am tired of these threads.

Wouldn't mind the signing, but I don't think we need him. Great player, though. Anyone remember the game in 1995 where Rod Smith, then just an undrafted rookie WR from Missouri State that no one had heard of, caught the winning TD pass to beat the Redskins 38-31? It was his first success in the NFL so ending his career in Washington would be sort of coming full circle.

5 years ago it would have been a good idea.

....he should put some Neosporin on it and afix a bandage to prevent infection.

Let's take a pass on him, we need to see what Espy can bring to the team.

No need, unless he can rush the passer.

freddyg12 · 07-12-2007, 11:19 AM

see the McCardell thread. Seems about the same idea; an aging vet to add depth, though Smith is a little younger isn't he? and he still put up decent #s as a possession reciever last year didn't he?

God that was terrible. Thanks for opening up an old wound. Wasn't it D.Green who got beat on that? I remember it was a crazy long pass from Elway.

Rod Smith can probably still be a productive ballplayer, but I doubt he would come here to be a situational pass catcher. Since Keyshawn's retirement, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in TN

I remember the play but not the WR. All I know was Elway sprinted a little to his right and just chucked the ball to the middle of the filed into the endzone and the WR just out jumped Green for the TD. I think time expired didn't it?

They are both the same age within a couple of months, both born in 1970. KM just has four more years experience under his belt in the league.

But Smith has put up solid numbers his entire career, even last season. Either WR would serve the same purpose solid depth. I just don't see either coming to DC for VET min., ONE YEAR, and that would be proubally be the only smart way to bring in either one of these guys.
