Smith could learn a lot from Rolando McClain about hard work. Instead of making news like Rolando, Smith will just sit the bench. :conf2:
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because offseason strength and conditioning is part of player development?What does their player development system have to do with offseason conditioning?
I think you have college and NFL confused.Oh, I don't know. Maybe because offseason strength and conditioning is part of player development?
No, I don't. Offseason strength and conditioning is a major part of player development, both at the college level and the NFL.I think you have college and NFL confused.
That's probably Coach Lewis' fault too. You know not disciplining him and all.Andre reportedly weighed in at 370.
I watched it for a while just to see how he looked. It was depressing. I'm still hacked, though, at Lewis trying to blame his own failures on the Bama staff. He should be embarrassed...Man just looks sloppy. Guess that extra conditioning didn't work. Anyone watching this game?
All of these statements should be true, but they are obviously not with Smitty. So, IMHO, the Bengals' staff has two choices: keep moaning and groaning about his performance and wishing it were better, or see if they can motivate him in the way he was motivated while he was here.The fact that no NFL contract is guaranteed should be enough motivation for anyone. He got the job done at Alabama. I don't know what's the deal. Was he so good he didn't have to work that hard in college?
I don't think that's the whole story. He's near 370 now...much above what he hovered around in t-town. He's a pro now, it shouldn't take college-like babysitting. He's just not being professional.
