Smooooot Nooooooo

[Daseal]

As I've said before, that play it was very important a completion didnt happen. Smoot was in position, which is good. While I would have loved that to be a pick, knocking it down was a damn good play in itself.

Smoot had some good plays today, and he had some plays that weren't so hot. I really think Smoot will get his swagger back soon.

Agreed! Last year we weren't even close to getting any INTs it seemed. At least Smoot was in position. The potential is definitely there.

But didn't Rogers have 10 dropped INTs last year, or something like that? He was in position a lot last year from what I recall

And that's a good thing? 9 times out of 10, Smoot is going to pick that ball of and take it to the house. This just happened to be that one time he didn't. Rogers hasn't proven anything to me at all so far. Smoot has proven himself to be a solid CB, albeit not a #1 CB.

Of course it's not a good thing. What I'm saying is our problem last year didn't seem to be being in position to make the INT, it was not capitalizing on the good position.

Rogers and Smoot both need to step up. No question

I can agree with that.

I agree, I don't think Rogers played well at all today, as for Smoot he played decent I think he will get better down the road. Springs is the only corner that I think played good (from what I saw). Springs had a really nice tackle that stopped them on 3rd.

Hopefully today reminded a lot of people (Redskins fans especially) that Springs and Portis are very very good players and we shouldn't be so quick to cast them aside.

I gotta say though, that PI call on Rogers was pretty lousy

I still wanna know why Springs was not starting. That is a big WTF to me.

They played a lot of zone today which is playing into Green's strengths. Plus, very little blitzing which doesn't help. You noticed it in pre-season and again today that there are times when our back seven looks lost in zone coverage. They were much more conservative than I would have expected. Perhaps they are saving it for Philly.

I don't know what gives with Springs. Is he hurt? Is he fueding with Williams? There's no way he's not the #1 corner.

I would like to see a lot less zone next week, when we play zone we play it way too loose.
