I'm not all that unhappy that we saved some money by not re-signing Smoot. I think that we have a replacement on the team that will step in and play better (yes, I said it) than Smoot has. Smoot was a great personality to have on the team, and was an above average player. I do not believe, though, that he is irreplaceable in this defense. He had his flaws (how many times did he miss a sack on a corner blitz because he jumped on a pump fake?).

I'll miss him, and Pierce for that matter, but I just don't think the defensive play will drop off considerably because of their departure.
