Nobody's talking about the piss-poor run game vs The Bengals last week?

There's not much to take away from it, IMO.

I hope this isn't the start of another "bench Smith for Allegretti" suggestion DJ ;-)

To be fair now, I didn't say bench him.

I said sit him down to get him healthy because Allegretti can hold down the fort.

Smith was REALLY bad for about 5 weeks after that injury. I always worry about the ability of guys to recover while trying to play through something like that.

But it appears Smith was able to do it because he's playing more like he did last season and has been through most of the second half.
