Insider info on Smoot from ESPN

[MTK]

I think Smoot played his best when he was hungry. He came into the league with a chip on his shoulder and he may have lost that in Minnesota once he got paid. I think he'll play hungry again for us, he's getting a second chance to prove himself and he can put his struggles in Minnesota behind him.

When healthy, who is a better overall corner?

1) Smoot

2) Springs

I would have to say Shawn Springs when healthy! I totally agree Smoot is good, but I would not say he is your number one guy.

I think Springs is much better when healthy. Better in every phase of the game. Smoot isn't strong or fast enought to lock up Steve Smith like Sprints did last year, nearly shut him down.

To me, Skins most likely are going to part ways with Springs, which is a mistake in my mind.

Hence, all the Bly rumors to Denver.

Springs is done in my opinion. I think hes only going to get worse and worse, his health is really going downhill and his skills are dimishing rapidly. We need to get rid of him as soon as possible before other teams that are offering draft picks for him figure this out also.

Dang man from what you said he will be dead in a week or two.

You have to remember too, that to someone from Mississippee, Minnesota is like a foreign country. It's cold and the people talk funny. Sometimes you just don't feel at home.
