On redskins.com today 12/22, an article with Marcus Washington.

Q: Are you surprised that you're the only Pro Bowl player from the Redskins' defense?
A: "When coaches revealed the names to us today, I was very surprised on that. I think that is the only thing that is kind of a bummer. We have some amazing players on the defensive side of the ball here. I was happy for myself, but at the same time I wanted to go with guys like Antonio Pierce, Cornelius Griffin, Sean Taylor, Shawn Springs--you can go down the list. It's kind of a bummer that these guys cannot share this with me."

Then, a few weeks back with Gregg Williams. (Dec. 9)

Q: Have you thought about who you feel should make the Pro Bowl from the defense:
A: "It is hard to say for me as a coach because I think that all of our guys are playing hard and at a high level. I know that Antonio Pierce, Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, and both of the Sean's (Taylor and Springs)--those guys have the numbers when people look at voting for numbers. There are a lot of unsung heroes on there, too.

Is it just by accident they both forgot to mention Smoot in these interviews. Hope he doesn't read to much into it, like I do. I just don't want Smoot to go anywhere.
