I’m not a 100% defender of Smith, he’s done plenty of head scratching things but also plenty of good things. But be real, it was still AS as HC scheming and play calling when KP had over 1k yards in his rookie yr.
The KP problem is he’s a very bad tight end. He ruins play execution when he’s inline blocking or running TE routes designed to attack defenses in a way that makes it easier to execute plays.
Hes a big receiver and best used out wide or in slot like the majority of his rookie yr.
He looks like he’s lost a step since the injury which makes it hard to beat corners now so Smith may have been forced to use him more inline to match up with linebackers instead. Also, Drake takes a lot of the receiver routes Pitts is (or was) good at.
We’re also working with some of the worst QBs in the league.
Agreed. I hope Pitts is fully recovered to be able to play receiver though because he is bad at TE.
I’m so split on Kirk Cousins - I think he’s a severely underrated and over criticized QB, but he’s also OLD now and coming off a significant injury.
