That's the part that Smith's missing and I don't think that's coachable. He's not going to be a risk-taker and you have to be confident in taking risks, especially in pressure situations.

well, that's a valid point, but you don't make it in college just being a nice guy, let alone the NFL.
AS had Mike Nolan his first 3 seasons & then Singletary the next three. I believe this had more to do with your perception of AS than his nice smile. Those two coaches were among the worst offensive minds I have ever seen at the NFL level.
