"[Bengals HC Marvin] Lewis is not happy with Andre Smith, the second-year tackle from Alabama. He doesn't think Alabama shot him straight with its pre-draft info (the kid's work ethic leaves a lot to be desired) and Smith was not diligent enough in the offseason rehabbing a foot injury."

Funny. I was under the impression that the priority for Alabama coaching staff was working to help its student athletes get gainful employment after they leave school. It's not like Andre's negatives weren't pretty well known at the time. If you've got buyer's remorse don't blame the folks who found a way to get him work up to his potential.
