He'll work behind Hall and Carlos Rogers, but he's excited about possible playing time at safety. Because many offenses use three-receiver formations, Smoot will be on the field. And because only four safeties are likely to make the team, Smoot also will play there in case of injury or when defensive coordinator Greg Blache wants to give opposing offenses a different look without changing personnel Source: Washington Times | | |
