In terms of what is safest, you play Smoot. He's not the best cover guy in the world, but he's a pretty sure tackler, and he's seen most of the receivers in the NFL at some point.
While I like most of what I see out of Tryon he still tends to get mixed around when he's covering a 3rd or 4th wideout, I'd shudder to think what will happen when he finds himself matched up against the number ones.
Carlos Rogers has obviously quit on the team, and apparently prefers to blame others for his problems. Sorry Carlos, nothing going on in the front office or on the sidelines makes you bite like a wet puppy on every double move you see.
I like watching Playbook on the NFL Network. It's one of the few analysis shows that isn't half about gossip and bull****, it focuses on the play of the game and it doesn't talk down to you.
They broke down the Falcons game and showed quite clearly that the Redskins started the game with DeAngelo Hall shadowing Roddy White wherever he went. As a result, he was shut down. he didn't have one catch in that portion of the game. Then the Redskins shifted into a zone that saw White go in motion, and as soon as he lined up on Rogers.. Carlos backed up almost 15 yards. FIFTEEN YARDS!
Ryan saw it immediately and called a quick audible, and threw it right over to him. Result,, 9 yard gain. They did it again, and when Ryan saw Rogers on white same play, pop pass, 8 yard gain, they did it AGAIN, and got 12 yards. Those were White's only catches of the game.
Who's to blame for that Carlos? Is it Snyder's fault that the sophomore QB in Atlanta smelled you out like a piece of rotten fish, and burned you accordingly?
Who's fault is it on the sidelines that you turn your back on blocks and end up ESCORTING receivers into the end zone?
F this guy. I'll offer to drive him to the airport.
