"I was embarrassed for free agent signing DE Antonio Smith. He embarrassed his coach and himself and the organization as far as I'm concerned. Here is what happened.

It was getting toward the end of the one-on-one pass-rushing drills and Antonio Smith was bumped down inside to rush as a DT. If I remember correctly he was matched up against Chris White. Anyway, the defensive and offensive linemen have two reps against each other in pass protection drills and Antonio Smith jumped offsides before the ball was snapped on his first rep. The defense had been jumping offsides all morning and Bill Kollar said that tomorrow there would be "up-downs" for players who continued to jump offsides. On the next snap, Antonio Smith gave a half-assed effort. Kollar, unhappy with the effort level, asked Smith to come back and take another rep. While Kollar was displeased he didn't scream Smith down or cuss him out. Here is where it gets bad.

As Smith starts walking back toward the defensive line, he tells Kollar that this drill is bulls***, and when Kollar starts to go back at Smith a little bit, Smith just starts letting the F-bombs fly as he directs them to Kollar. He got up in Kollar's face and Mario Williams had to step in and separate things. Hey, I understand things get heated, but camp has just started and this wasn't even something that should have sparked the ire of Smith."

- Talk about crazy from Smith. Isn't this the same guy who did the video series with Dockett last year where they were cutting up and laughing and having a big time. I wonder if he's missing the Red Birds already?

WOW

If this is a sign of things to come I am glad he left AZ

Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

He should have stayed

I think he is missing all the guys, and having trouble to adjusting to the new team. Because this doesn’t sound like him at all, he was always smiling and joking around while he played for the Cards.

yep, him and DD were real tight

Maybe Mario Williams isn’t as cool as NINE-0

Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
