49ers Nolan: Smith a hard worker

San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan today on his new defensive end, former Bengals star Justin Smith:

"We are very excited to have Justin Smith join our football team. He is a player that we have watched in the NFL for quite a while. He will fit in on both on the football field and off the field. He is an extremely hard-working player that works on his craft. He is kind of in the mold of a (retired) Bryant Young from a work ethic standpoint. Again, we are glad to have Justin be a part of the 49ers."

The 49ers officially announced Smith's signing today. ESPN.com reported the deal was for $45 million over six years.

And another season where the Bengals let their talent get away! What a pathetic excuse for a football team. Let's keep a player that is a cancer (Chad) while we let others that add more value go!

Can't wait to continue laughing at the Bengals this year as they have returned to their ways of the 90s.....the toilet of the NFL!

GO BROWNS!
