Shaun Smith talking his way off the roster?

[Aloysius]

He might be good enough to trade to a 3-4 team in exchange for a guy who's not going to make their 53 man roster. Denver and Dallas would make sense, given that each team is looking for depth at nose tackle and both have logjams at certain positions: Denver's five or six deep at running back and Dallas just drafted a bunch of linebackers and defensive backs.

[Aloysius]

The Jets kept eight d-lineman on their roster last year, seven the year before that. So if Leonard or Smith play well, there'll be room for them on the roster.

Or Mangini could bring in additional bodies from elsewhere. It looks like Kentucky DE Jeremy Jarmon could be headed to the supplemental draft; he'd be a good guy to add to the roster.

S. Smith might be wakeup call #2 for this team. Shaffer was wakeup call #1. Real quick they are going to understand that the BS put up with by the previous coaches isn't going to be tolerated now. It's shut up and play time. Joe thomas had to run a lap during the voluntary mini camp because he had a false start. Playtime is over, it's time to concentrate on football in Cleveland.

After the mandatory minicamp is over everybody should fully understand what's expected of them and training camp will bring about a team with a new attitude, discipline and purpose. There might be a few casualities like S. Smith to prove the point.

I would expect most rookies (who want to play and not get in Mangini's doghouse) to be signed and in camp. As you have seen with the voluntary mini camp, the guys that were here working out voluntarily were working with the #1s.

There's a message here not only for Smith, but for Braylon, Steinbach, McDonald and yes, Cribbs and Dawson too.

Actually that came directly from Bryan Cox the defensive line coach, who isn't a man to take any shit from anyone. All the media got that sound bite. It was sort of let out as a message of purpose.

The new theme is; "Shut up and Play". This team will be well disciplined. No more Country Club atmosphere, give the veterans a day or allowing continual mental mistakes BS. It's "SHUT UP AND PLAY" and "FOCUS".

shaun smith is a cancer and a disruptive personality in the Lockerroom...Id just assume dump his fat lazy ass now...

[Kosar_For_President]

Later. This dude sucks anyways.

[mz.]

I think we're all on the same page here with this dude. We are way too deep on the D-line and this guy isn't nearly good enough to be acting like he is/has. Au revoir.

Could there be a guy who is less of a "Mangini-type" player?

[ballpeen]

I get the impression he is not a "mangini" kind of guy.

LOL....Ya think??

Mangini wants rowers, not boat rockers.

[daddybull1]

Ytown, then why didn't Grossi say---according to Bryan Cox....yadda, yadda, yadda........

My point is, I believe very little of what Grossi has to say unless it includes the source....
