But was our pass defense better when Sean Smith was not in the game? It sure looked like we got better without the most targeted CB in the NFL playing.
I thought it looked worse personally. It never looked bad though during any stretch. Fitzpatrick couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...that helped.
We were getting fairly consistent pressure on Fitzpatrick for the whole game... that helps any secondary.
True. I have been hitting the Firefly pretty heavily tonight, so I could always be misremembering the events of the day.
Smith has a couple FFs this year I think. He's been getting the ball on the ground, they just have Belicheck juju on them and bounce away from any Dolphin.
