Likes to trash-talk - Dwight Smith
No player likes to get in the head of opposing players, or teammates, or reporters, more than the free-talking strong safety. Dwight always has something to say.

Yes, Dwight Smith..............not Smoot.

I missed this the first time I read it. Wiggins is a trash talker?

Well at least they deserved something this year!

Do you agree with all of these selections?

**alberta_vike** · 01-15-2007, 04:43 AM

Don't agree with EJ getting defensive player of the year. He was very good this season, and definitely deserved the most improved award, but there were other players on the defense who were better. I would have given it to Winfield, or one of the Williams. EJ would probably be 4th.

Dwight Smith didn't back it up that much thi year....

What's Smoot going to trash talk about?
Being demoted?
