Tight end L.J. Smith spent his first six seasons with the Eagles, but signed with the Ravens in the offseason. Smith told The Monty Show on Sporting News Radio that he wasn't happy with how things ended with the Eagles and that he was never able express his displeasure about a situation in which he felt he was "treated like a number" in Philly. "There were a lot of things that I felt like should have been handled differently," said Smith. "You know, there were a couple of times where Coach (Andy Reid) should have came up to me and told me what what going on and how he was looking at things and how he was handling situations and what direction he wanted to go, but it didn't happen like that. "As a player, you never want to hear things through the media. Everyone's wrong, and everyone obviously had to do the right thing to get to this point in the NFL, and you just want to be treated like that. You want to be treated like a man before an athlete. I think a lot of times in the NFL, coaches forget that. There so involved with the numbers and schemes, and they forget how to approach a player, and I just felt like a couple of times throughout the season last year, there were a couple of coaches who forgot that."
