Although no one on the team will ever say or admit it, playing Smith puts a lot more stress on everyone which is going to take its toll eventually at which point the team starts to get a “what’s the point” line of thinking and everything starts to fall apart. If we are thinking that Smith has fallen off the wagon again you can bet it’s at the back of the players minds.
I hope Rittich is ready now to carry the bulk of the load now. Gonna be a short playoff run if he isn’t .
