Looked to me like got his ass beat. While Smith was busy running his mouth, "big country" was busy throwing hands.

I didn't get the whole dynamic. It's stupid to talk trash and then stand there while a guy pounds you. I'm sure it was edited though and we didn't see the whole altercation.

He did seem a little over the top but I understand it.. He's trying to make an impression and make an NFL roster. With that mean attitude I see big things for Jacques! VFL

Actually the O-lineman got punked. Anytime you start swinging on someone and they are still walking towards you saying "really", you pretty much are being told you are weak and that was nothing.

They're wearing helmets and pads. Obviously none of those blows are going to do any damage. I don't see how you think the O-Lineman got "punked." He was throwing punches, being the aggressor, challenging Smith to fight. All Smith could do is stand there and NOT fight back. I don't care what he was mouthing, Smith is the one that looked like the punk.

Not really, he is trying to make a roster spot. He wasnt going to swing period. Big man got punked, he just let a un-drafted player get under his skin. He was whining the whole time. Ask James Stone, Smith would have swung if he knew it wouldn't have cost him.

I don't see how you say he got his ass beat then, they are wearing helmets and pads.

What does Smith fighting back have to do with him making a roster spot? If anything I would think showing that he has the fight in him would actually help his chances rather than hurt them.

I meant in terms of how many punches the O lineman got in on Smith VS how many Smith got in on him.

JS looked weak to the rest of his defensive teammates. One even told him after the fact not to let them treat him that way. He should have stood up for himself. Classic case of a guy running his mouth, but can't back it up.

Also, Smith not swinging had nothing to do with a roster spot. Fights in NFL camp are common place. They don't cut people for that.

All of you saying Smith should have swung are foolish. He knows how to toe the line between aggressor and undisciplined. He will not stoop to the level of o-linemen bringing weak $hit, especially when the OL starts the confrontation with a push in the back. He will not get drawn into that garbage. Retaliate with your play on the field, 1 v 1. It is that simple. No whining to your teammates, no cheap shots.

Anyone notice Mike Tice's speech? Toughness isn't throwing punches. It is having the back of the guy next to you.

I'm sure fighting with all your teammates as an undrafted rookie would not be smart. Smith is trying to walk the line of showing he belongs and not showing his ass. He isn't guaranteed his spot like them. Just my take.

He certainly pissed that whole Oline off, they were all coming at him. He obviously did one thing right to get that much attention I guess.

Just watched the whole thing. Oline was getting beat the whole time, then started getting in fights. Looks like Smith said something to one of them, they got in each others face. That Olineman went back whining like a girl. Next rep showed a different Oline guy shoved Smith in the back, Smith shoved him back. A third different Olineman pushed him, Smith pushed back. Dude started swinging and Smith was saying really. It got broke up and Smith started calling the guy soft and told him he punched soft. Told him he didnt want any and the guy walked away.

Guess he was trying to keep his cool or something. No clue

The interview was saying he comes from a place where he went against big guys all the time. That they were expecting Rookies to just back down.

I don't know how you can say Smith got punked, or that he's soft, from that. Did people say Anderson Silva was soft when he was tapping his own chin after someone landed a shot on him, and he dropped his hands and invited them to hit him again? No. Because anyone that can stand there and eat your best shot(s) and not be phased by it is actually punking you out. It didn't show weakness to me. It showed the proper amount of respect for a veteran, while at the same time saying I'm not going to back down from anyone, and you can give me your best shot and I'll walk through that weak ****. If he was turning his back, trying to get away, or cowering in some way, sure you could say he got punked. In my opinion, you can't say that here.

I really liked the coach who alluded to the HS game being the biggest game he ever played. JS just laughed.......

With you all the way. I honestly can't comprehend how J was the punk in that clip.

And that lineman hits like a girl. I can throw a hook better than that.

Funny thing is, if JS was the one swinging people would be saying he punked the lineman. Lol

Lineman is an idiot. If you're dumb enough to punch someone's helmet 3-4 times you deserve to break your hand. Smith should also find someone a little smaller. lol
