Specifically, he talked about Ashley Lelie.

"If you want to be a No. 1 receiver, if he said that, fine. I wouldn't expect anything less," Smith told reporters about Denver's holdout WR. "But you know what? There are eight other guys that want to be a No. 1 receiver, too. They probably don't say it, but they better want to be a No. 1 receiver. If they don't, they shouldn't be here."

"This whole 1-2 thing, I don't really get," he added. "To be honest, statistically, I led this football team in yards, catches and touchdowns probably every time except once or twice the past nine years, and when I was playing with Ed McCaffrey, I was always considered the No. 2 receiver, even though my numbers were better than his... But you know what? You never heard me say anything about it because that's not important to me. What's important to me is winning football games."

Now that's the kind of attitude I want on my team. If I'm a Bronco fan, Lelie can go take a hike as long as this guy's around.

Any they got Walker coming in...another #1 with an attitude...lets see how it all plays out...If I am the coach I would say... I have 3 number 3 receivers and let it go at that....

3 No. 3's? Oh, I'm sure that would go over well!
