Smith's pocket awareness is so-so. He will often scramble out instead of sliding in the pocket
Smith too often misses the hot read
Sure, Smith's speed gives him more wiggle room to dance out of trouble. But there are definitely ways he can make his OL better. Again, the biggest improvement at the end of 2013 in the OL wasn't talent. It was Smith being the most aggressive we've seen him for much of his career.

The defense slipping up vs harder teams changed how play-calling went.
The sacks racking up is by and large on the O-Line. They sucked in preseason it was obvious. The offense had to be compressed or it was likely to implode and get Smith killed in the process.
