Not sure about that. He put a defensive player on his butt on the first series 3rd down pass.

Smith in my opinion is the best running back in the room. And agree he should be getting at least 20 carries.

I hadn't thought of this but it is a possibility. He has graded the lowest of our RBs for pass blocking per PFF so that may indeed be the case.

To my eyes Smith is the only RB so far this year who has looked like a P5 level starter. Neither McDuffie, nor Hall have looked like that to me.

It appears the RB room is down significantly in talent compared to last year. Gibbs/Mason/Smith looks alot better so far than Smith/McDuffie/Hall.
