Fred Smoot Update

[sportscurmudgeon]

TAFKAS:

Even though I would be the first to hail the return to Warpath.net of the one and only "Smootsmack", I have to say that I'd rather have Dre Bly in my DB than Freddy.

Don't know if the Skins could come up with something the Lions would take in exchange for Bly; but if they could, that would give them a cover corner that they have on the roster ONLY if Springs is 100% healthy.

Let's see. Bly or Smoot? If that one gives you pause then you'd probably also pause if given the choice between Antonio Pierce and Brian Urlacher...

in this universe when he played for the skins he was a force the only reason why springs got 5 interceptions in his first season is cause people didnt want to throw to fred smoot he is more explosive more agile and springs has lost a few steps

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

He's Not A Star Ne More But Neither Is Shawn Springs Who Cant Stay Healthy The Vikings Are In Dismay Look Who Their Starting Qb Is They Dont Know What They Are Doing

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

The Redskins Keep Doing This They Build Up A Player And Then Dont Re-sign Them When Their Contract Is Up Ex: Fred Smoot, Stephen Davis, Lavar Arrington, Champ Bailey, I Am Sick Of This Bs I Am Starting To Worry If This Trend Will Continue When Sean Taylor's Contract Is Up

I'm starting to worry if you'll keep capitalizing every word in every post. Is this something new for message boards to express yelling since all-caps is frowned upon? You're viewpoints seem okay, but the excess capitalization really detracts from the value of your post.

ok my bad

I would welcome smoot back. Smoot is not a #1 corner, he is a #2. But with Clements possibly coming here, that leaves no space for smoot as I doubt he would sign not having a starting job. However, if by some chance we are out bid on clements, the smoot may be an option. I love the way smoot played here. He played hurt, was a vocal leader in the locker room. The only problem is, i would not want smoot or rogers covering any teams #1 receiver.

ok no one is going to outbid the redskins to do anything we all know that and if by some miracle we dont get clements i would rather have asante samuel than fred smoot anyday

So you're in favor of overpaying for a CB, but not a LB?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

depends on which corner and which linebacker you are talking about and i dont like overpaying anyone but if the guy deserves it

Contrary to popular belief, teams do outbid the Redskins. The Giants outbid us for Pierce and the Vikings for Smoot. Moreover, teams outbid us for other teams' free agents (e.g., the Eagles outbid us for Kearse, who we were reportedly interested in until we found out how much cake he wanted).

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

we didnt get outbided ny pierce of smoot we didnt want to pay smoot as much as springs and pierce as much as washington

[EARTHQUAKE2689]
