It seemed that way from the stadium. It sure seemed that way from the couch a day or two later, and a breakdown of the film pretty much closed the book on it.

Trey Smith has been a MAJOR problem this year. As bad as Wylie and far more damaging than Orlando Brown. If there were no long-term developmental problems arising from it and I could swap out one guy on this OL for an above average stand-in, it would be Smith. He's done more damage to this team than Wylie has.

I don't know if I think he's been worse than Wylie, but I think your point is right that having both play poorly has compunded their individual poor performances - there's just been no hiding place or assistance.

If he's injured I'd sit him but otherwise I'm really not convinced you're getting more from Allegretti. Put Allegretti up against Simmons and that's going to be rough watching imo.
