I don't think they were propping ASmith up during the year; I think it was a symbiotic relationship because--get this--football is a TEAM sport.

Alex's pre-reads don't show up on a stat line...and according to people smarter than me about football, he's one of the best at that. They say the best defense is a good offense...but that doesn't always mean how many points you score..somtimes it means how long to you have the ball. A fresh defense looks pretty damn good.
