Now, I realize Smith isn't in the same class as those guys. But, to some on this board, he's in the next tier. With that in mind, how often does Smith hit a hot receiver on a blitz? Make a team pay for putting 8 or 9 in the box? Even a guy like Hoyer can do it once in a while. When does Smith make any defense respect the passing game?

While you're right in that Alex is not a blitz killer, the bigger problem is the OL. I'm not saying that to excuse Alex... he is what he is. This OL is an abortion.
KC runs a lot of max protect, and they STILL can't even pick up the blitz properly... let alone hold the pocket against one. If you send 5 guys even if we keep 6 or 7 our dumbass OL will **** up on the pick up somewhere and someone will get a free hit.
