The team averages to get to the 30yrd line everytime they touch the ball. Only 1 KR for a TD since his long tenure here.

I guess if we have no other option then we should just keep Smith cause for no other reason I guess he's consistant. But I think if this team is kinda in renovation mode and trying to get better it would be rediculously crazy to not to pick up April who is free for the taking right now. We don't have to ask anyone for permission. We don't have to come up with any cute titles to pick him up. Plus we hear all the time from HC's throughout the league about how ST's is such an important puzzle and we are going to sit back and go ...well, he's kinda expensive so maybe it's not that important. We would rather stay consistantly good vs. becoming great at an expense.

I agree...but I doubt we get April, everyone wants him...and I think I read somewhere that he cancelled a meeting with the skins
