Antonio Smith

[TexansFan99]

Might be too early..but so far he's disappointing..cussing out one of the coaches during preseason and now being late and having "issues with responsibilities."

Disciplinary action

Defensive end Antonio Smith didn't start the Tennessee game as punishment for being late to meetings. Tim Bulman took his place.

“Antonio had a couple of issues with responsibil-ities as far as the team, and so I started Tim,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “Antonio played extremely well.”

Asked about the issues, Kubiak said, “Being on time. They all have to follow the team rules.”

I hope he learned to be on time. NFL do not play with this crap like college.

When he was on the field, we was getting back there. So at least he's showing some level of production.

Yeah, I don't know if it was just the scheme or what but compared to Weaver (a nice guy by all accounts), Smith is a definite improvement, you will often see him helping add pressure in someway in the backfield.

Although, when he was brought in people said he played well against the run and frankly, I haven't seen that. But still, I think he has definitely helped our team and his ability to play DT, has helped because Barain isn't ready for being an every down DE.
