I used to like Michael Smith, but after reading this interview, I am starting to hate him.

FG Staff: Where does Reggie Bush rank amongst the current NFL running backs?
Michael Smith: Where does he rank? An exact number? I can tell you that right now he is in the bottom 4th of starting RB's. I won't even talk about the time share backs. I'd take him, right now, over the Giants, Titans, Panthers, Packers, Lions, and Bears backs. He's very exciting in space. It also takes a lot of factors for that to happen. He's not gonna get the tough yards that would qualify him as one of the best backs.

FG Staff: Do you think Russell will ever see the field for the Raiders this season?
Michael Smith: I think he will. He won't if they are in playoff contention at year's end. Which is not far fetched in their division. You don't want to start a true rookie next year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FG Staff: Should all the success in Houston be credited to the aquisition of Matt Schaub?
Michael Smith: A lot of it can. The have a good coach and a great up and coming front seven. But nothing can compare to having a QB who knows what he's doing when he steps on the field. He's got confidence and poise and that makes everyone look better.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FG Staff: What is going on with LT and Steven Jackson?
Michael Smith: Well, the Rams' offensive line is battered with injuries. Bulger and Jackson are hurt with critical injuries, which drastically limits their effectiveness. LT's problem is not offensive line troubles, but a change in approach on offense.The philosophy has changed and he needs time to adjust.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FG Staff: I know it’s early, but as of now, who’s picking #1 in the draft next season?
Michael Smith: Between Rams and Vikings. I'm leaning toward the Rams. They might even decide to phone it in soon, it's really early.
