Lovie Smith disappointed with criticism of Jameis Winsto

[sharonorn]

One day after former Florida State coach to the university, coach Lovie Smith came to his rookie quarterback's defense.That Smith would do so should surprise no one: from the , and it's not a good look when an FSU icon Darrell Taylor Jersey such as Bowden criticizes him. "I'm disappointed. To say that the young man is an 'embarra sment'? That's pretty strong," . "I just don't think he's speaking for all of Florida State, even though he's in an official role there. ... Normally, when you're in a family, you don't do that. I'm very disappointed that somebody like that would make that type of statement."Further, Smith told the newspaper that when the Bucs talked to people at the school, "no one said (Winston) was an embarra sment. It was the complete opposite, starting with (coach) Jimbo Fisher." That statement should surprise no one, either. Even if someone at FSU did expre s negativity about Winston, no one with the Bucs is going to say so. Smith did what he had to do to in the wake of Bowden's criticism, and it basically followed to the letter what you would expect the to say. Mike Huguenin can be reached at mike.huguenin@nfl.com.
