	Boston.com / Sports / Smith the straight answer
		Smith rushed for 962 yards last season, averaging 3.9 yards per carry and scoring six times.
		Basically, Smith was the same back in 2002 that he was in 2001, and it is the belief in this corner that he will be the same back in 2003, if given a chance and used properly.
		But Smith runs hard, is consistent, and when he gets his shoulders square to the line of scrimmage and moves forward between the tackles, defenders had better wrap him up or he will run through them for big yardage.

	Patriots duo ready to hit ground running - The Boston Globe
		Smith, a Houston resident, was part of a two- and sometimes three-headed monster (with Kevin Faulk and Mike Cloud) at running back during the regular season.
		The 31-year-old Smith, who signed a five-year, $21 million deal after the 2001 season, is due a $2 million payment on a signing bonus in March.
		Smith was reminded that the last time the Super Bowl was held in Houston (Super Bowl VIII in 1974), the MVP was Miami Dolphins power runner Larry Csonka.

	Smith answering the bell for Patriots
		Smith hardly scored a KO over the Dolphins' stout run defense, but neither did he get floored in the first round.
		Smith picked up only three first downs on the ground, but two of them came in the first quarter when the Pats dominated possession, running 22 plays to Miami's six and hogging the ball for 12:20 to Miami's 2:40.
		Smith is much smaller (6-2, 232) but that's ideal size for a late-season, bad-weather back, and the Pats put him to good use in this one.

		At first, Smith was a decoy: A five-yard gain on the game's first play, then an unusual mainstay on the field as New England passed five-straight times en route to a 7-0 lead.
		On third-and-8, a down in which Smith is usually drinking water, he sneaked out of the backfield and scored on a 13-yard reception.
		Even Smith seemed shocked: it was only the second receiving touchdown in his six-year career.

	Is Antowain Smith History? - Sports Central Message Boards
		Smith had a team option (along with a $500,000 bonus) that was declined by the Pats.
		Belichick's statement about Smith made it sound like he won't be back, which kind of surprised me. Kevin Faulk clearly can't handle things by himself, though, and Mike Cloud couldn't start for any team in the NFL, so the Pats will be looking for someone to replace Smith.
		The wierd thing about Antowain is that he might be pretty good that first year, but, his history in NE and Buffalo suggests that he dogs it in year 2 and on..

	Antowain Smith - Fantasy Football Cafe 2004
		The Patriots, ever conscious of the salary cap, chose not to exercise their option on Smith, meaning that New England’s leading rusher will have to find a new home this off-season.
		With his destination in doubt, Smith’s fantasy value now enters a state of limbo as well.
		At the moment, just about anything is possible; the seven-year veteran might never be a fantasy factor again, but he could also take a page from Stephen Davis’ playbook and return to the 1000-yard rushing plateau.

		Smith has two 1,000-yard rushing seasons under his belt and boasts a 3.8 career yards-per-carry mark.
		He hasn’t been terribly effective in limited duty this season, with just 73 yards on 26 carries (2.8 yards per carry), but he looks to be the best option the Saints have.
		Even if Smith winds up carrying the ball twenty times per game or more, he may only be worth a fantasy start in weeks when he faces lesser defenses.
