No screen passes during preseason...Nagy?

I think Reid just replaces West with Charles..and keeps using Ware like last year.

I think it's possible they are pushing Smith to work on downfield passing. They claimed that was a focus last preseason but it never translated to games. Screens lose their effectiveness when a D stacks the box and doesn't respect the passing attack. A good offense needs to be able to draw the D in when they are getting run on, and spread them out when passed on. It's why so many people have been critical of Smith. It's not just a desire for bombs and fantasy stats... it actually adds more dimensions that defenses have to account for.
