Just a shade over half the amount of agressive passes that got attempted when Reid had a QB that made that a part of his game and had the players out wide to get those passes to.
IMO Dorsey made some decent moves to try to improve the WRs the last 2 off seasons ...Conley, Streater, Williams, Hill, Robinson, Maclin...
As that talent learns how to get open more and more, the more you will see that number rise for Alex Smith.
As I said, I expect that number to get to 40 next year.
No excuses.

Maybe they morph the offense some more, but up this point Andy Reid has not used the same offense here as he used in Philly. Yes there are multiple reasons but it is not the same offense here yet if ever.
