Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

I hope he will play tonight Gibbs said he had a hamstring injury early this week I haven't heard anything yet about him.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

hadn't heard of this, sure you don't mean Springs?

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

I think it's still aggravating him from what I've heard. Doubt he'll start. Shouldn't start

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

no hes not injured, he sucks

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

I'm hearing he might not play tonight.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

Springs is always hurt. If Smoot may not play and Springs is dinged then the game is over before we even take the field. Rodgers sucks, and as good as Philly's O-line is, McNabb may as well sit back there in a tuxedo and pick us apart. I have a bad feeling about tonight.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

Off of this and the fact he was downgraded over the weekend makes it look not-so-good for Smoot. Maybe we can see what Macklin can do and that undrafted guy

Just saw on espn that he's a game time decision. Doesn't look good.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?

Walt Harris was getting torched by 74 Year old Issac Bruce yesterday.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

We need smoot to play, without him we are back to last year's secondary

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

our defense scares me tonight. we are going to play to bend but dont break. so i dont expect too much pressure being put on mcnabb with blitzes tonight. the front four will have to get the pressure and we know how good they do that. with no smoot banged up and we will see how much springs will play hes not listed on the injury report so hopefully he can play all game. if we play soft coverage and play zone tonight like week 1 it will be a rough night for the defense.

Yea, I'm glad they are not in charge of the pregame team pep talk.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

Springs is ready to go, which gives us four first round draft choices in our starting lineup, all healthy. Macklin is ready to step up and show what he can do. We have much more depth in the secondary than we did last year.

Campbell is psyched to show what he can do in a national spotlight. Moss is primed to show what he can do, and to make a statement.

Lito Sheppard is out, unfortunate for him, but it only helps our passing offense.

CP is looking for a big game and the Eagle front four is not the best at run defense. They will have a lot of run defensing to do.

Anthony Montgomery is going to get a sack - write it down.

Redskins 24, Eagles 17

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

Still holding on to my initial prediction of 27-17, skins win.

Jason Campbell 19/24 2TD 1INT
Portis - 100yds
Betts- 80yds
Suisham 2/2 FG

It's time to get pumped up folks!

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

I still got the 27-13 win for the Skins

Campbell 16/21 217yards 1td 0int
Portis 21 carries 144 yards 1td
Moss 6 rec 119yards 1td
sean taylor 5 tackles 1ff 65 yard interception return for TD in 2nd Qtr.

After Smoot's performance last week, some might argue we still are last year's secondary.

You forgot to mention that Gibbs is going to fart right after the 2nd half kickoff. ;)

Contrary to popular belief, Smoot played very well last week. He was involved in defensing several big plays. He only allowed 3 catches. Sure he missed an INT that would have ended the game, but he was far from stinking up the field. FYI 2 of the catches he allowed were kept in front of him despite slipping.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

letting go walt harris was really poor decision making ... we hafto hope macklin can show up tonight... if smoot doesnt play... honestly i think our d will be fine tonight... i think this wins in the bag... close, tough win but i think we out-class the eagles in the hunger/talent department if u ask me... we are starting to gel together and build continuity... and i think the world will see this more-so tonight....

kornhieser, tirico, and jaws all think it's a toss up... and if the redskins d plays light out... then we should win... i met them sunday morning when they met at my friends father's/jaws' golf course for a round...

nice guys they seem, and korny is alittle different then he portrays on tv...

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

The secondary will be fine tonight.

Chill.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

The problem is, the secondary really hasn't been tested yet. Tonight with the Eagles, next week against the G-strings, and even the Lions will give us all we can handle.

To me, the secondary is the biggest question mark -- I'm still not convinced that won't be the Redskins undoing this year.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of game Macklin has.

Re: Is Fred Smoot Still Injured?
 

I'm about to call a Walt Harris moratorium. He was horrible here. [U]H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E[/U]. He couldn't cover his ass with his pants.

He switched to a team that plays a lot of zone, and got a bunch of picks last year. Good for him. That doesn't mean we should have kept him.

I know. I can't believe there isn't a statue of me anywhere. Would that be too much to ask?

I'm a little fella, too, so it wouldn't have to be a big statue. Like a trophy top, or something...
