Same is true of Smith.
Sean Smith will make an extraordinary interception from time-to-time.
Because he has GOOD HANDS. He struggles with consistent concentration and focus when he tries to bring a ball in.
And there's more to being a good corner than picking passes off anyway.
I'll answer for you since you dodged my question.
Brandon Carr had 6 INT's through his first 56 starts (1 more than Smith at the same stage).
Dallas should cut him now, right?

He hasn't made 1 extraordinary INT that has counted in his professional career.
And there's definitely more to a Corner than picking off passes, or Deangelo Hall would be the highest paid corner in the NFL, but Sean Smith is 6'3 and gets his hands on the ball, he just doesn't come down with them. And when you're leading the league in passes thrown your way you need to come down with more than just 5 INTs in your career.
