INDIANAPOLIS - Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith continued to tumble in the eyes of NFL coaches and executives when he couldn't be located Saturday morning to participate in the workouts for linemen.
That follows the bad reviews Smith got from coaches from Alabama and the perception that he did a poor job of interviewing with the media and teams. Smith turned off several coaches when he told them he wasn't participating in the workout because he started training late.
"The kid is killing himself," a source close to Smith said. "He basically told the NFL people he's lazy. This is incredible. ... It doesn't matter if you're ready or not. You at least show up at the workouts and watch."
Some draft analysts had projected Smith, a junior, as a possible No. 1 overall pick in April. Concerns about his character started to surface in a serious way when Alabama head coach Nick Saban kicked him off the team before the Sugar Bowl.
Smith was rumored to be involved with the representative of an agent before the game, a violation of NCAA and NFL Players Association rules. When Alabama turned the issue over to a lawyer who is on retainer with the school to investigate possible violations, Smith initially turned over his bank records but then refused to turn over his phone records, according to two sources.
Saban deemed that a violation of team rules and dismissed Smith, who then turned pro after the bowl game. NFL coaches have been in contact with Alabama officials since then and have not heard good reports on Smith's character, a source said.
Despite so much time off, Smith has gotten out of shape in the view of NFL types.
As one scout put it Friday: "Just another guy who doesn't get it."
According to Smith's agent, Alvin Keels, Smith subsequently flew to Atlanta on Saturday for a workout with a private trainer and is not expected back in Indianapolis.

What a waste. I hope this fat fuck realizes what kind of opportunity he just wasted. I'm not saying he won't be drafted, but when you have the chance to be one of the top 3 picks in the draft, you don't do anything to fuck that up.
Fucking tub-o-lard.

But, but, but, but Andre was said to be a choir boy after the story broke of the agent deal. The media had him on close to the same pedestal as Obama. The braying jackasses that pull for that school had their lips firmly planted on his big fat lard ass as well. Although not quite as powerful as Tebow's, Andre's tears were rumored to have cured leprosy in small orphan school children in the Himalayas.
Why does sabear keep talking about class and character in his program? The guy is as full of shit as 99.9835% of the bammer fan base.

Agreed. He never got in any trouble while at UA until the whole agent deal really fucked that up. One oh shit can erase a thousand atta-boys. Its almost as if he just walked into this whole NFL thing and figured he didn't have to put forth any effort and somebody would scoop him up. Andre's fuckin up, and he needs to unfuck it quick.

RWS....Shit.....why don't you be the first to turn on a "brother" when he is not on the "Bama Bandwagon" and kick him when he is down?
RWS, you were singing a different tune back in December as Smith totted that Outland Trophy back to T-town. You proclaimed Big Andrea was a lock for the #1 overall O-line pick. You ridiculed the "Aubies" for thinking otherwise and doubting the "Bama's Back Theory". You are now nothing more then an internet message board bitch to me.

Think about it for a second. Going into the combines most agreed he was at least a top 5 pick. I never said he was a lock for the #1 pick. Feel free to try and prove me wrong, though. All I said is that NFL scouts were projecting him as a top 5 pick. That wasn't a big secret. You could see that on the NFL Channel. I'm not going to sit here and defend him when his OWN decisions are fucking him up. I'm sure he's a nice guy. He did a hell of a job while at UA. Until the Sugar Bowl, he had never gotten into any trouble. Thats great. I still think he's a great player. However, since the Sugar Bowl something is up with him. He is making decisions that very well could fuck him for the rest of his career. So now you are all of a sudden an advocate for former Alabama players? I always knew you were a fucking idiot, but geez....your argument isn't making any sense. I'm not doubting his skill set. I'm doubting the shitty decisions he is making. I'm not going to spin it into something it isn't.
Bottom line: Andre's fuckin up. Its not kicking him while he is down. Its pointing out the obvious, that he's making shitty decisions. And here lately, you can see THAT on the NFL Channel as well. Or, on NFL.com if you prefer. This isn't a situation he has no control over and wasn't his fault. He got himself into this mess.

Not only are his actions turning some teams off of him, but the possibility that he'll be used as a Right Tackle, instead of the coveted LT.

You are talking in damn circles.
Let me clarify the sequence of events.
A) Early Dec. 2008, Smith wins Outland Trophy. RWS tries to defend Smith when questioned by Kaos and JohnDeere as to why a player who is probably not the best O-linemen in the SEC wins national award.
B) Late Dec. 2008, Smith is asked to leave UAT football team. RWS judges Smith to be an idiot. UAT loses Sugar Bowl, Smith's absence from team is easily noticed.
C) Late Feb. 2009, Smith foregoes a NFL combine. RWS proclaims to the world that Smith is "fucking up", quotes NFL network to defends opinion.
It is funny that when things are all peaches and candy, ALL UAT players/coaches can do NO wrong. When shit hits the fan, bammers look for somebody to throw under the bus.

The most amazing thing in the article that every kid who wants to play at the Crapstain is the fact that THEALABAMA officials are giving NFL teams negative reports on Andre.
Nice to know that once Bammer uses him up they are more than willing to throw him under the bus.

I was in Tuscaloosa over the weekend. Happened on cecil hurt's column on this topic.
It consisited primarily of vigorous ass licking followed by exclamations over the relative tastiness of the turd remnants found there.
Made me remember why I was so glad to get the hell away from there. That is the worst excuse for a newspaper in the state. Cecil Hurt is a fucking hack. We've got people here on this board who could write circles around that clown.

A) Early Dec. 2008, Smith wins Outland Trophy. RWS tries to defend Smith when questioned by Kaos and JohnDeere as to why a player who is probably not the best O-linemen in the SEC wins national award. And guess what? I'm still saying Smith deserved that award. I'm still saying he's one hell of an OL. I will defend that all day long.
B) Late Dec. 2008, Smith is asked to leave UAT football team. RWS judges Smith to be an idiot. UAT loses Sugar Bowl, Smith's absence from team is easily noticed. Yeah, and I still think he was an idiot for doing what he did. He hurt himself and the team. I can still think he is good and an idiot.
C) Late Feb. 2009, Smith foregoes a NFL combine. RWS proclaims to the world that Smith is "fucking up", quotes NFL network to defends opinion. He is fucking up. Its very obvious.

Its very simple. I'm sorry you are apparently too fucking stupid to realize this. When somebody fucks up all on their own, and its a totally bonehead move that they made all on their own, I'm not going to defend it. If I make a totally bonehead mistake, I don't even defend that. I can own up that I fucked up and be satisfied with that. I expect other people to do the same. I guess you think by saying Jimmy Johns fucked up that I'm throwing him under the bus, and turning on him as well. Since when is holding somebody accountable for their OWN actions throwing them under the bus? I guess our criminal justice system "throws people under the bus" all the time, holding them accountable for their actions and all.
For fucks sake, if I were to defend him you would just say I'm another bammer that doesn't get it. Please explain to me how what he did before the Sugar Bowl was a good decision. Please tell me how going AWOL and skipping the combine was a good decision. Please tell me how ANYTHING he has done in the public eye since the Sugar Bowl has been a good decision? Its not throwing somebody under the bus, its holding them accountable for their actions.

Bama fan's take? He already has a contract worked out with Detroit being the top pick and all and he DON'T FUCKING NEED TO GO TO NO DAMN COMBINE NOHOW, SO FUCK OFF AUBIE!"
Reality? Kaos said months ago he was an out-of-shape, tub of shit whose hype far outweighed his substance. Go check for yourself if you dare.
Just another instance of Kaos knowing what the fuck he is talking about (genechizik).

I disagree. He has tons of talent, but is just a lazy fat piece of shit.

***Mod edit***
We have rules against rude and unkind remarks made about pieces of shit. Please refrain from talking about shit that way in the future.

More hype than substance whether it is by choice (fat and lazy) or by nature (lack of talent). I never said he didn't have potential, I said he was out of shape and a tub of turds. Months ago I said this.
I will remind you of my prescience again later this year.

He's still atop most draft boards. Can't see how anybody can be so fucking stupid and at the worst possible time.
