It is 6 games into the season, and teams are starting to key in on the dink-dunk offense. Receivers are flat out not doing the job all of the sudden. Smith being conservative is certainly part of it, but I'll give him a pass as he has done what we have needed him to do when it needs to be done.
Smith needs to work with Bowe, we have room to improve on offense, this offense is NOT a known quantity. Go deep to Avery once in a while, anything, start Jenkins if you have to, but don't trot out the same crap the next 3 weeks; the Offense is more capable than that. My hope is that Jenkins is learning the playbook and can be a 3rd receiver that could give us 3 speedsters with Avery, Mccluster ( Yes, I count him as a WR) and Jenkins. And of course, we still have Bowe who is a possession receiver.
Also, we need Fasano back, Brock is just not good enough to see consistent playing time like he is now. Mcgrath has been a pleasant surprise though for the most part, but I maintain my preference for Fasano over Mcgrath as a receiver.
The O-Line is still very green: Hudson finally starting and is healthy, Fisher at RT, etc. Room to improve as the season moves along. I am not too terribly concerned yet, as I said, there is plenty of room to improve, but the pressure coming towards Smith is rather excessive.
Jamaal is... Jamaal
On the Chemistry front: Smith has not really been in sync with the recievers imo so far in the season, this can't continue if we plan on doing anything more than simply making the playoffs. I feel this will improve though with time, but how much time is the question.
