... Smitty called in on WFNZ this morning but only heard 5 minutes of the conversation. Said he obviously made a mistake but loves the game too much to stay away. Apologized to the fans and said he didnt think he would miss any regular season games.... Not his exact words but it sounds like he wants to beat the piss outta Florio... guess we'll wait for the podcast to come out to listen to the entire call. Anybody else hear it that can expound?

Finally posted.

Most notable thing I remember was when the asked him about Armanti Edwards he praised him briefly and then went on a rant about 1st and 2nd round picks.

He said they don't work hard enough and that the league is really made up of 3rd-7th rounders and RFA's. He used Ricky Manning Jr as an example, Manning said the NFL wasn't as tough as he expected. Smitty pointed out how he's no longer in the league.

A million articles about Steve Smith "slamming Clausen's work ethic" in 5...4...3...

Wasn't Manning a 3rd round pick?

For a dude who is out playing flag "adult" football in the off season he sure has a lot to say about OTHER people and THEIR problems.

Can you really fault a guy that spends his time off from football playing football?

Ryan Clady busted his knee up playing basketball what's so different between his and Smith's situation?

I believe I know why steve smith went on to rant how the higher picks don't work hard enough.

Having a good/great work ethic is vital to succeeding anywhere. I know I bust my ass at my job, doing the best I can for not only my success, but the succcess of the company also. When ya work hard, and you see your co-workers aroud you not working as hard, it is very frustrating. I realize that not everyone is going to have the same work ethic as me, but I don't understand their laziness. They get by with it, but they never achieve the same success, and the company as a whole is suffering from their poor work ethic and attitude.

On a football team, everyone needs to put in the work to achieve the ultimate success. The superbowl. As long as you have players who feel it is owed to them, or they are just coasting to get a apaycheck, the team will never win a superbowl, regardless of the coaching.

Smith is made of pure win.

      Down in Atlanta....

      By hepcat · Posted

      I hate to praise Atlanta but what they did was not dumb. The only issue is where they drafted Penix. #8 overall was very high for a QB with Penix’s injury history. But it wasn’t a bad decision. I wish the Panthers took a broader approach to finding a franchise QB after Cam.  Cousins is old and recovering from a serious injury, so he is obviously a temporary placeholder. It makes sense they hedged their bet on Cousins, because Atlanta was burned by holding onto Matt Ryan too long while his skills degraded. If Cousins can still play, Penix gets to sit on the bench and learn which has proven to be a winning strategy for developing young QBs. If Cousins sucks or gets hurt again, they have a legit backup plan to see what they have in Penix.  Where are the Panthers if Bryce gets hurt or sucks again this season? The season is over and they’ll be considering drafting another QB next year.

      Same as when Jordan Gross said that having to block Julius Peppers made him a better player. But I mean no sh*t, having to block one of the best DE’s of all time will up your game. I bet Gross went up against other DE’s in games and was like, this is nothing. Horn isn’t that level of player obviously, but Legette has his work cut out for him going against Horn in practice. The coaches should be able to tell pretty quick what they have in Legette.
