22 pressures in 5 games. That's not even replacement level

I'm hopeful Smith can return. They didn't put him on IR at the outset so that's somewhat encouraging at least.

He needs to. We've missed him. As frustrating as Taylors penalties have been, we actually have a really good duo of pass blocking tackles when both are healthy. Both pretty far up the rankings of pass block win rate while being amongst the least helped OL.

Because really, 12 pressures in 4 games is tolerable. It'll play. Especially for a rookie mid-rounder; it shows someone who may grow into a solid LT. 10 of those 22 pressures game in that Raiders game where I wouldn't have been noticeably worse than he was. Was that game so incredibly awful that it should supersede anything he's done in the games around it? Because around that game, notably the Bengals, Packers and Patriot games, he's been starting caliber. Needs a little help still, but someone you can put in there, plan around and run a good offense. |

Yikes. I guess I need to re evaluate myself and my watching of tackle play. That's bad.

I think the point there too is that without our normal starting tackles, we have literally no chance. Morris allows the whole left side of the line to collapse on every passing play.

Garrett will massacre Morris. He massacres most folks, but Smith - as someone suggested above - can lose slow. Smith won't win the day against Garrett, nor should he be expected to. But he can lose slowly enough that you can give him help and survive. Morris, OTOH, was losing badly enough and quickly enough that the help didn't make a difference. Like I said, Morris was so bad that nothing else that happened in the Vegas game could even be given a true analysis. He torched everything. It was brutal. And yeah, Garrett could absolutely do that to us again. |
