I strongly agree. Smoot is not a #1 or #2 CB. He is a good #3. He is very thin little guy and thus not very strong at supporting against the run. He used to be a good man to man CB. He is not the CB he used to be.
In the last two seasons they have both had very similar years statistically. The difference is Rogers is a young/raw corner still learning the game, the other (Smoot) is a 7 year veteran that statistically has seen his career regress each season of his career. His rookie year was his best.
