So why not double cover Smith and take him out of the game? I mean, IIRC, they had no sacks of Flacco yesterday. I'm fairly confident if they doubled Smith, that Flacco would have been sacked atleast once or twice. Unless, maybe that's what they did and Smith beat it anyway?
I also remember one play where Smith made a short catch on Leon Hall, and burned him on the tackle attempt. So, in the end, you have to give him credit (as much as I don't want to).
Maybe it was one of the worst tackling days for the Bengals defense, I don't know.
It seems the Ravens didn't double AJ either. Maybe the coaches made an oath to have no double coverage in the game?
I think both guys were doubled, just not in obvious ways. Both defenses looked slow cuz of these guys.
I think AJ beat his doubles before the ball got there, Smith beat his after he had the ball. Both guys had their way, but they were uncoverable no matter how you look at it
