Maurice Jones-Drew complained that he wasn't a big enough part of the offense. Del Rio gave him the ball 38 times last Sunday.

How many throws go Smitty's way this week?

I think they will have a similar gameplan as last week going into the Bills game. Smitty actually appeared to initially be part of the gameplan....they will go to him the first drive....if Jake looks to be bad Jake and has no accuracy right off the bat....they will then play keep away from Jake like they did to finish the last game. I could easily see him held to under 50 yards again.....

I am going out on a limb believing that Davidson knows what he is doing. Therefore I am going to say that Smitty lines up in the slot this week and we send him in motion as well. He gets involved in the offense much more given that Buffalo will be loading the box. He still won't get over 100 yards but i think he will get 7 catches for 80 yards and he stops whining at least for a week. (I know he is a warrior and very emotional, but it still was whining).

I would hate to see Jake and Davidson try and force the ball to Smitty just to please him...that is a slew of interceptions waiting to happen.

Instead, I want to see Davidson use Smitty differently. Reverses...wildcat reverses...screens...etc...

Do NOT just try and force the ball to him with the way that Jake is struggling to see the field.

He will definitely get more touches this week. Probably have 7 or 8 catches and nothing deep. Couple WR screens, a reverse, and I would like to see him run the slant again that he got the two point conversion on. I am still a little surprised he was so upset about the game last week. I know he wants to be more involved but a win is a win and he is downfield blocking and requiring a double team which helps us run. Throw him a bone and get him the ball a few more times.

He was frustrated b/c he did get open (despite the double teams)....Jake use to hit him now and he is struggling. Jake had two shots deep....normally Jake could have put at least one of the two on target for Smith to try to make a play. There was another play where Jake was late making the throw when Smitty was wideopen near the sidelines...since Jake was late seeing it he ended up throwing out of bounds as coverage finally got to Smith.

Jake isn't making plays w/ ANY WRs..that is just a sign of a stuggling QB. It is probably 40% playcalling and 60% Jake.
