Per NFL Network: Smoot Officially Released

Smoot Cut (http://www.newswatch50.com/sports/story.aspx?content_id=02a0f9c6-3f25-4e8b-bdad-ec38418d96dc)

i don't understand the reasoning behind taking your best corner and making him a safety. are we in agreement that springs is a better corner then rogers?At some point in the near future, Rogers will surpass Springs. I predict that it will be next season. Also, we have a better chance to keep all three of them (Clements OR Smoot included) heathy if Rogers and Smoot/Clements start and Springs doesn't play every down.

Many times corners can extend there careers by moving to safety. IMO it doesn't seem like a bad move at all.

I think I was the first to bring up the topic of converting him here on this board so I suppose I should defend my cause. Basically two things-first I used the precedent of Rod Woodson as proof that it could work. Second, Springs is a great cornerback indeed but more importantly he's a great football field. I think just having him on the field is a bonus. And he could be like the equivalent of an NBA swingman, swinging easily from CB to S and back if need be.

I agree completely. I've never seen a better football field than Shawn Springs.

I don't think he'll get another chance here, after the boat incident.

At least, I HOPE NOT.

He'd make a perfect Cowboy or Raider though.

Who gives a shit about the boat incident. I want a starting quality nickelback who knows the system.

You act like Smoot arranged the whole thing and forced those guys to participate.

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! !!

I thought he did arrange it, but still I agree with you. SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!!!!

Worst case scenario, Rogers is #1.

Come on now, how many people can say they've never snorted a gram of blow off a hooker's ass?

Seriously, the boat incident wasn't THAT bad. If you read the Maxim article about a year ago, it's basically an expensive version of ANYONE'S typical visit to a strip club/whore house.

They are not hookers, they are college students looking for some extra money for grad school! Look on the bright side, the two kids at home will have a half sibling for the rest of their life!
