Didn't I read on this board that he had threatened to leave b4? I know a DB has to have a short memory after he has been burned on a play and I loved Smoot, but I saw Smokey running his mouth against receivers in games when we were no doubt not going to win and also making hand gestures that could have led to a penalty if seen by the refs. Maybe we have just reached the point that the best now play, not play based on seniority. Good luck to him and Hail State!
Agreed. Graham was not SEC grade. I watched him many times be burned by receivers and once saw him calling for help from his teammates moments after the snap of the ball as the WR burned him bad from the the get-go. Granted, he was getting better at his position but in the SEC West you need to be at an upper level or elite to succeed.
