Smith has been disappointing, to be sure. He does not strike me as a particularly good runner after the catch. He is not powerful, elusive, nor does he show particularly good vision. Which makes that play call all the more puzzling.
Anyway, fumble aside, he had 4 catches for 25. His BEST game of the year. Baby steps.
Tanner Hudson mor Gentry are not gonna magically solve our TE problems. But the passing game generally has been awful while Burrow was hurt. I think we are see how things progress with healthy Joe and healthier Tee. Charlie Jones could come off IR this week. We have won 3 straight.
Unless some team is essentially waiving the flag and willing to let a good vet who is gonna leave anyway next year go for essentially nothing (a 7th?), I think we stand pat. That trade could be out there. Gesicki from NE. Heck, I'd call the Texans on Dalton Schultz right now, but that will take more than a 7th. He's under contract for next year for VERY reasonable ($3.375 mil). A fifth? We have an extra comp pick incoming in the 5th & 7th..
