Still, if the last three games evidence a shift in coaching / offensive philosophy, Alex just may have moved into the top 10. If it goes back to the conservative mode, well............ |

Why then is Atlanta losing games, you might ask.
How about the defense allowing 28+ points per game (4th WORST) and 385 yards (7th worst) in the league? Maybe because they have THE LEAGUES WORST THIRD DOWN DEFENSE? Opponents convert 47% of their third downs on Atlanta. |

Atlantas defense is also 8th in penalties and is second to last in red zone defense.
To note: I love it how when Alex Smith was playing well below average football, but was winning games, the common response to his level of play was always 8-0 woohoo...but Matt Ryan gets dragged through the mud for win loss record even though he is on pace for a career year and the defense is one of the worst in all of football in nearly every relevant category. |

Especially given that his passing game is LITERALLY the only thing that team has. Their running game and defense are dumpster fires. When your defense is constantly giving up 30+ points, OF COURSE you are going to throw some picks. You are throwing the ball a lot trying to keep up. That's hard to do when the defense doesn't respect your running game or receivers. |

Smith is on pace to throw for 20 td's with 8 picks, I'll take that combined with our top 10 in rushing points per game. |
