[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 82223, member: 231"] Good amendment. The referent of "this" in my statement is too imprecise as you are right, [I]character [/I]doesn't just form suddenly in a year. I should have been more specific that I think his [I]buy-in [/I]to CPJ's offensive system in just a year is fantastic. I loved his arguing with Waters' premise by shunting aside any negative thought that one could form to prejudge this offense as far as development of WRs. Smelter basically blew that off and said "look, if you trust in the system and what we are doing as a team and you take pride in every block, route, decoy, and pass attempt then we will succeed and I will succeed and reach my goals as an athlete right along with the team." So I am specifically impressed with his trust in CPJ as his offensive coach in such a short time-span. It is fair to recall that Smelter was concerned that given his shoulder issues his professional prospects in baseball were looking grim. So he wanted to try his athletic skills in football to see if that gave him a better chance of achieving his personal goal of playing a sport professionally. That is not a "selfish" goal, it is "self-interested" (like [I]any [/I]personal dream or goal). The key insight into Smelter's character is that he came to football with that personal goal in mind and yet has had no issues at all being coached and buying in and trusting that CPJ and staff would not let him down but rather help him to achieve his personal goal in his final 2 years as a college athlete and all he has to do is go all out for his team. To the extent that this is based on Smelter's character I absolutely agree that it was shaped long before he decided to come over and tryout the spring before last. Smelter, Synjyn, Laskey . . . all three of these seniors (and others as well!) are doing themselves and Tech proud this year. [/QUOTE]
