. Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with
more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive
into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden
State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped
a two-game skid.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Geno Smith was surrounded by a throng of
reporters, a crowded scene usually more appropriate for a No. 1 draft pick than
a second-rounder. But Smith, of course, isnt your ordinary No. 39 selection.
And, the New York Jets are certainly used to their quarterbacks -- and backup
quarterbacks, for that matter -- getting this type of attention. "I just come
out," Smith said Friday, "and be my natural self." Who that is, exactly, has
been open to some debate in recent weeks as Smith has taken lots of criticism
for his abilities on the field -- despite a record-breaking career at West
Virginia -- and his attitude off it. Various published reports painted Smith as
an immature diva who didnt always take football seriously enough. "Maybe I dont
know what the diva behaviour looks like," coach Rex Ryan said. "I never saw that
at all." Smiths free fall from potential top-10 pick, and his reported decision
-- and later, change of heart -- to leave New York rather than return to the
draft site at Radio City Music Hall added to the perception. As did Smith firing
his two agents shortly after the draft. Hes done with all that. Still without an
agent, Smith is ready to move on to football again. "I think its been a more
eventful few weeks for the media," Smith said. "My only job is to focus on what
I have here and get better." And theres plenty to do, if you ask Smith, who said
all the right things after his first practice of rookie minicamp. "Im going to
be tough on myself," Smith said. "Ill let the coaches do the grading, but if I
say it, its an F because I want to be an A-plus. "Hey man, thats just the way I
do things." Despite the tough self-evaluation, the quarterback looked pretty
good during practice. Smith appeared to have a solid working knowledge of the
playbook, and zipped many of his passes -- mostly in short yardage -- around the
field. "Ive been studying my butt off, learning formations, learning
protections," said Smith, wearing No. 7 because his old No. 12 from his college
days is Joe Namaths retired number. "I think I did a good job overall today.
There were some bumps in the road. Those are things I think I can clean up." He
also worked under centre most of the time, something he wasnt used to doing
during his time at West Virginia. Smith hesitated a few times on some throws,
and was even yelled at by offensive co-ordinator Marty Mornhinweg for failing to
pull off a play-action bootleg pass. Rookie jitters? Smith wont go there. "There
are no excuses here," Smith said. "Weve all got to study our playbooks and be
prepared for practice. If he felt like I needed to pick things up, then hell get
on me, which he did. Im receptive to that, and I did what he askked of me.
Iman Shumpert Cavaliers Jersey. " Yes, the
man some outside the Jets organization anonymously labeled as not very coachable
said all the right things after practice, appearing humble and clear of his role
on the team. While many assume that will be to someday become the Jets starting
quarterback, Smith refused to look too far ahead. "I have a job to do as of
right now, and thats to come in and compete," he said. "Right now, theres a long
ways to go in that process. This is only Step 1, Day 1, but it was fun to get
out here on the practice field and enjoy my teammates and coaches." The plan is
to have Smith compete for the starting job this summer with Mark Sanchez and
David Garrard, as well as Greg McElroy and Matt Simms -- although those two
likely have no realistic shot at winning it. Smith said he was told that Sanchez
will get "the majority of the reps" in training camp. "I know Mark is a
competitor, and I understand Mark wants to win the job," Smith said. "We all do.
But at the same time, Im going to learn from him and David and Greg." He already
impressed his fellow rookie teammates on offence by getting together with
several of them at the players hotel Thursday night and going over the playbook.
"I think thats great," Ryan said. "Its unusual the way he commanded the huddle.
And the fact hes already telling guys (instructions), thats pretty sharp." Smith
has also studied former quarterbacks such as Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jeff
Garcia and Donovan McNabb, trying to get an even better handle on Mornhinwegs
West Coast offence. So, Smith says, the critics can keep on talking about him.
He has better things to worry about. "I dont resent any of it," Smith said. "I
dont pay attention to any of it. I just focus on what I can control and thats
being a Jets quarterback, being a great teammate and just getting better as a
quarterback daily." ------ NOTES: CB Dee Milliner, the teams top draft pick at
No. 9 overall, didnt practice as he recovers from off-season shoulder surgery.
He expects to be ready in time for training camp in late-July. ... Ryan said he
was "disappointed" in Quinton Coples work in the weight room Thursday. "If
Quinton doesnt do a better job in the weight room," Ryan said, "hell have to
compete like anyone else for a job," Ryan said. It was a clear motivational ploy
since Coples, the teams first-rounder last year, is a rising star for the
defence and will move from the line to outside linebacker this season after
leading the team in sacks with 5 1/2. "Hes been doing a great job, but any
chance I have to get him, Im going to," Ryan said. "I expect so much from him
and if he lets up a little bit, were going to make sure he knows it."
