As it stands we're one Rittich injury away from a very big problem, so he's doing what he can to prepare / mitigate such a situation.

I understood that mentality originally but it's not working. Outside a 5-6 game stretch anyone with eyes can see that this Smith experiment is not working.
We have to ride Rittich and concurrently be looking for alternative options, Smith is not doing us any favour and no amount of "easy matchups" for him seems to be fitting the bill. This should have been an easy game for Smith to come out and build confidence and he's showing us what we've seen most of the season so far.
