Smith wiggles to the right and the DL fails to wrap arms around him to get him down... so Smith continues to the right looking for lane to run, but the RT can't stay in front of his man, and the defender brings Smith down for the sack.
A likely sack that should have taken 1.7 seconds.. took 2.9 seconds... but it was 2.9 due to Smith's initial evasion.
See? impossible to really nail down these things by looking at a stat.
