For a 350-pound man the Bengals would like to see transform his "body type," No. 1 pick Andre Smith has practiced well enough to stay out of sight during his first month on an NFL field."He hasn't been the rookie that jumps off side or holds, or gets beat," said quarterback Carson Palmer this week of his right tackle after the final voluntary session. "He's the rookie you don't really notice. When you don't notice offensive linemen, that's good." Offensive line coach Paul Alexander, of course, has noticed everything. He has seen a typical rookie progression. "There's the speed of the game. It's completely different. Even for guy like Andre that played against so many great ones in the Southeastern Conference. It's a whole other jump from there." Alexander said. "All college players have to adjust to that and he'll adjust to it. And he's still a young guy and he'll get stronger and get better in all areas."
