Don't know if this has been mentioned, but I've come to the conclusion that man coverage is Smith's biggest achilles heel. He doesn't trust the timing of routes enough to let the ball go on time on man coverage. He waits for the guy to actually get open, which in the NFL is often too late.
When he knows guys are going to find openings in zones, he does OK. It's man defense where he seems to hold the ball too long.
I'd be interested to go back and look at this over the course of the season.
