A quote from this article: "Smith didn't stick around to watch practice. He apparently didn't stay to socialize with teammates, some of whom said they didn't see him." Wow.
Well considering the last time he socialized with a teammate he got a broken jaw, can't say as I blame him!
"He shouldn't be doing it right now," Bowles said. "We handled that internally. We had that discussion." Translation: They scolded Smith for his unauthorized workout. Imagine the fallout if he re-injured the jaw and needed more surgery. He also left himself vulnerable to infection by engaging in physical activity, as Bowles noted. The way things are going for the Jets, it's a surprise he didn't trip on a curb and land face first on cement." Utter nonsense. He's going to "re-injure himself" tossing a ball in his driveway?? The media is looking for anything to jump on. It's really getting pathetic.
The Geno experiment is very close to being over. There is a good chance he never starts another game for the NYJ.
It's a real thing though. When you're chucking around a football there's a chance you get hit in the head/face by said football. It's a small chance but when you're talking millions of dollars in investment, which is where the Jets are with Geno right now, you don't want people exposing themselves to any risk at all. A pretty girl walks by and Geno turns his head and he gets hit in the ear or cheek by the ball. Without a pre-broken jaw it's embarrassing but not really a big deal. With the injury and the surgery it could be career-ending. If you're the Jets right now how much foresight do you think Geno has?
Really overdone. The ESPN guy went to his house to get a story. Kid was tossing a ball around. Headlines!!!. If he was sitting in the sun he would have said he was resting while his teammates were sweating.
So Geno is well on his way to being done as a Jet? Fucking perfect. Another rookie QB and another 3-5 years before we have a chance. I fucking hate this team so much right now.
wtf? So, he's not a Diva? He's totally unaware that at this stage in the season he should look...In shape?
