[quote=SmootSmack;867128]Oh and whatever coach it is, maybe it's Foerster (I don't know) that's been working with guys like Smith and Hurt during the season[/quote]

Way to go Smoot! You're spot on. Same for Josh Wilson. Was this his first INT this season?

[quote=skinsfaninok;867223]Yeah don't forget Rex s TD he gave away.

[B]Skins have had 7 QBs start since 2004 ouch and that's y we suck[/B][/quote]

I have a theory that we're still recovering from the Spurrier years. Danny Woeful, Shane Matthews and Sage Rosenfels. The Holy Trinity of suck

[quote=SFREDSKIN;867219]That's exactly right. Willie Smith just might be our future RT, I like him a lot, Hurt is getting better too, although he struggled today.[/quote]

Honestly, Hurt and Smith are no better long term than backups probably but that's fine. That is what we've sorely lacked for years, young, quality depth. Hurt hasn't embarrassed himself since he's been in the lineup. He's played like a rookie late round pick. Same can be expected of Smith. If he shows well over the next 3 games, we can go into 2012 comfortable with young depth on the OL which we haven't had forever.

Put it this way, Smith is already better than Locklear and I bet he's also better than Brown. I don't see Brown or Locklear here next year, as for Smith I've been following him since training camp and he seems to be a solid sleeper FA pickup.

Re: Scud's Studs (Week 14 vs. Patriots)
 

Everyone on offense played very well but lets also remember that NE has one of the worst defenses I think I've seen in a while. They're just horrible on that side of the ball.

Hopefully this will be a lesson for the front office. Don't go trading away anymore draft picks for damaged goods.

I would agree, but we've also looked terrible against supposedly bad defenses in the past.

That's because we didn't have Helu establishing our running game, which in turn establishes play action. ;)

Wait, Wait, Wait, So establishing the run sets up play action??

The point is that we haven't been doing that consistently well until #29 took the reins.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, we're supposed to run the ball? But when Kyle had Schaub and A. Johnson, all he did was pass the ball! LOL.

But I won't knock the toss pplays Kyle kept dialing up. Risky but, paid dividends. Even setup the Banks TD.
