Fred Smoot is Batman

[eljeasel]

It also left teammates making cracks at his expense, with fellow cornerback Carlos Rogers holding up fingers on the sideline to see whether Smoot could still count.

"He was back in Ashburn when he got up," Coach Jim Zorn said. "I think he thought he was on the practice field."

"I did," Smoot agreed. "Then I looked up and we were in Texas Stadium, so it was time to play some football."

Smoot admitted he was "out of there for a minute" after the collision, and joked he initially thought he was Batman when he got up

.

"I was clueless; you could have called me a blonde," he said.

The cornerback went back into the game and was credited with a tackle on Dallas's final drive.

I think Smoot is hillarious. If this is true at all that is one of the funniest football moments Ive witnessed. Knee to the head knocks him out. Trainers go to see if hes ok.

"Fred, Fred? you alright?"

"Im Batman"

Man he looked completely lost after that hit, I felt bad for him.

[Saqs]

Smoot seems to always end up hurt after he makes a tackle but he always comes back and play. He's a warrior and i'm glad he wasn't seriously injured on that play.

More like Fred Smoot is bad, man.

I'm glad that he's okay, but he's been pretty awful this year.

[#98QBKiller]

Yeah he looked like he wasn't sure where he was at after that play, glad he's ok now

I love smooooot, the best nickel CB in the league

[Year_of_The_Monk]

I thought he played a decent game yesterday; he did make some plays. I always liked him but wish he play more to his potential more.

I disagree. I haven't noticed poor play from him considering he's our third best corner.

It's shouldn't shock people that Fred Smoot gets injured every few tackles. What is he, 160 pounds tackling guys at least 50 pounds heaver?(EDIT: There's no way he's 185 like his profile says. I'll give him 170 max)

[Passizle]

I like Smoot... Glad he was not hurt badly. But I was puzzled he was hurt to begin with. How did he get concussed? Looked like a clean leg wrap to me... anyone?

[iMeast]

Good to see that ol'Fred Smoot is OK. I was worried about the CB situation/him there for a bit. :eaglesuck

He bites on that double move every single time. Every, single, time. Yes, I'm happy that he's not giving up a big play, but if it's third and four and I want that first down, then I'm throwing a button hook to Smoot.

He used to be good, but I don't know what the hell happened.

He got clocked by Crayton's knee or thigh, it was enough to knock his helmet off, so i figured that was why.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

I'm glad he's alright. Pretty funny comment by him.

[CrazyZeb]

It looked to me like the helmet came off first, then he got kicked in the face. Smoot needs to strap that thing completely.

[Passizle]

Speaking of concussed... anyone have a gif or somehting of the Potis run that rang Wares bell? That was AWESOME.

I love watch CP kocking people out!

[HEavyJumbo85]

buckle that chin strap freddy.

[mAshparie36]

hahaha, "I'm Batman!"

I'd have to guess you have TIVO or just pay attention to Smoot a lot, so I won't argue with you. I will say though, that he's had poor stretches in the past just to bounce back with an outstanding game.

[DirtyGunz8]

He looked lost when he was walking off to the sidelines. I'm very surprised he returned. I 'd give him a 'B' for the day. But he played with heart so I'd bump him up to an 'A'.

Smoot got smacked

[Cept One]

I just watched the replay and after Smoot's helmet came flying off he smacked his forehead on the turf. He needs to keep that thing strapped on tighter absolutely no reason a football helmet should fly off like that.

That is what I saw too. It was the turf that did the damage not another player. He only had one strap on when he was running to make the play. He needs to get that thing on tight.

[Aluadan]

It wasn't anything after his helmet came off, it was the knee directly to the top of his head which took his helmet off that did the damage. He was out cold before his helmet even came off all the way.

[terpfan]

For such a little guy, Smoot is tough as nails. I love it.

[herb mul-key]

Smoot is a great I mean great tackler!!!!!...he is courageoues and reckless which is a good thing but...I hope he protects himself because we need him!
