Re: Smoot for Archuletta?
Smoot was a serviceable-to-decent #2, but there were times when he got spread open and buttered.
Still, I'll take a flawed Fred Smoot over any of the dopes we have now. |

Re: Smoot for Archuletta?
I was always behind the decision not to resign Smoot. He wasn't even close to deserving that kind of money. On the other hand I was all for the contracts to Arch and Lloyd so I give myself a D for evaluating those three hit or miss type of free agents. After breaking his jaw I would say Smoot's career in Minny is done and if he is released hell no do we want that guy back! Not a team player oh and he weighs like 167 ponds with his helmet and pads on while also holding a ten pound bag of weed. I'd rather keep Arch and of course as many have said no one trades for bums with massive Dan Snyder overinflated type contracts.

Re: Smoot for Archuletta?
I think bringing Smoot back would be a lift for this D, which by all accounts has sufferred from a lack of chemistry among other things. Smoot was popular among players & did bring a certain enthusiasm to the game. He was a starter on the best D (04) this team has had in many years.
The espn article said that Minn. might cut him, but I haven't seen anything substantive about how it would impact their cap, which would be the deciding factor. anyone have info on how it would affect their cap? |

Re: Smoot for Archuletta?
Smoot isn't coming back. We let him walk for a reason, he's not a typical Gregg Williams DB.

I disagree about him not being a GW type cb, he played very physically in 04, of course it was his contract year. He jammed recievers & played tough man coverage, & tackled fairly well that year. I think we let him go for the same reason we let Pierce go, they thought they were expendable & not worth signing for that much $. Minnesota only outbid the Skins by $1 Mil. & structured his deal so he got more in the early years. We definitely tried to re-sign him. I doubt he'll be back simply because we'll be looking to upgrade & he's not the best available. |

Re: Smoot for Archuletta?
We had the #3 defense with Smoot as the other DB. If he is available we should go after him. He is a vocal leader and fits in the system. He won't demand the money he did when he left. Still, I think there is to much ego on this coaching staff to allow him back.
