From the notebook of a sportswriter who feels he was never really given a chance to get to know Jonnu Smith:
* Kind of like his former girlfriend.
* I'll get back to that in a minute. The Steelers yesterday officially announced the release of Smith, the tight end whose receptions fell from 88 with the Dolphins in 2024 to 38 last season with the Steelers. His average yards per catch fell from 10.0 to a dismal 5.8.
