Honestly... Smith will be Smith. Like him or hate him, Smith will be Smith. It all hinges on the o line. If the o line is solid then all the plays that many here hate will work better and more consistently. Plus he'll actually get to challenge deeper down field - occasionally. It won't be bombs away, but he'll keep the defense honest. I doubt his play will change much... it will just open up because the line is allowing it to open up. It will be very similar to what you saw in the 3rd pre-season game. Just moving the ball downfield. If the oline holds, and the injury bug doesn't strike, then that's what you'll see.
