Fred Smoot Quotations

I feel like a free agent again. I'm feeling good about the coaches. For the first time in two years, I feel like I'm being coached. They're well organized, and every time we hit the field, we're getting something done. I got the love that came from coach (Joe) Gibbs, Gregg Williams, Marvin Lewis.

He's waiting to see what I'm going to say, ... We do this. It's going to be a verbal matchup, just like it's going to be a physical matchup.

Yeah, I'm embarrassed. You can't come out like this and expect to win.

Yeah, I do. But the dog was on our shoulders. Like I said before the game, I wish them well, but we had to give them heck.

I'm happy with the scheme and the personnel. I'm just not happy with the results yet.

We call that runnin' through the okra patch.

And if this is illegal, then sue me!

We played in the Senior Bowl, ... I got MVP out of jamming his (expletive). It basically started there, with a long week of getting after each other.

Oh, I'm following him, ... Everywhere he goes. Inside, outside, in the backfield, I got him.

I hate that we had to lose a player like him. It hurts me. I wanted to come to a team that had a backbone quarterback. But now I just hope we make the right decision.
