For right now i would think unless carlos shows some kind of drastic change before the season starts then fred smoot should be the starter

cant wait for the season to start go skins

I think it's an open competition, but since no coach has come out and said that Smoot will be the starter, you have to assume that Rogers will hold onto the job given he was the 9th pick and that nobody has said otherwise.

Either way though the nickel is going to play an awful lot anyway.

while this is true, you also have to take into account that Greg Williams remembers how Fred Smoot played before with the Skins and the fact that he has better cover skills but for right now based on how carlos has played in the past two seasons that Gibbs is more than likely is favoring Smoot since he is a "gibbs" guy. So i guess we will have to just wait and see.

How is Smoot a "Gibbs" guy? Gibbs drafted Rogers. He inherited Smoot, and then Smoot left.

I know you're a big Smoot fan, but you might be disappointed if you're really expecting him to start this season.

i am not a big smoot fan or a big rogers fan i am just saying based on experience and performance smoot has to have the edge
