Lee Smith was WIDE open on Allen's dart to Davis

Also Lee Smith is not really known as "hands" Smith. 

 

In that play design he is likely more a decoy to draw coverage away. Sometimes teams do not fall for the decoy.

 

Or, they may realize that he's not known as Lee "Hands" Smith and they just don't bother covering him.

He certainly was open for a TD.  Well, we won and now that throw by Allen has gone viral, so I guess it all worked out. lol

What is it with Bill fans, is Lee Smith the new whipping boy now that DiMarco is gone?  For years it was Kelsay.

He wasn’t open when Josh started to throw. Why is this even a partial thing?

Lol. You're looking at the wrong TE. Look at the top of the screen.

A couple of teams have done that to be burnt.

Oops. Ha. Thx. I will delete that.

I'm going to guess Lee Smith is his 6th read

[BearNorth]

I'm old enough to remember Butch Rolle was automatic in the red zone. 10 TD's in 5 years covering a total of 14 yards.

 

[Ramza86]

Lee was the very last read on that play. 

 

Was that DB Sherman? So youre saying if Sherman didnt rush in and saw Lee break he would then start covering Lee?

 

Yeah....there is a reason JA did not look right.

Maybe 8th, after taking a sack or throwing it away. 

[hemma]

aha .. this solves the mystery of how he managed to get an espn QBR of only 75 

[eball]

Anyone "blaming" Josh for this play simply doesn't.  know.  football.

 

His progressions were clearly from left to right and he had his man early.  No reason for him to even look to the right unless he couldn't pull the trigger to Davis.

Truth - so you are saying no one confuses him with that "other" #85....

 

 

 

[Mr. WEO]

Both the Bills Offense and any opposing Defense ignore Lee Smith.

that guy is still around?  Is he finding new ways to hate the bills offense or is he pretending he was the architect? 

 

No he loves what they are doing on offense and is thankful we look like we joined the new NFL in terms of passing

And rightfully so. I remember on his first tenure with the Bills he caught a pass about 10 yards down the sideline and then ran out of bounds. And a Bills WR, maybe Robert Woods, was blocking for him and went up to him and said “Why didn’t you cut up field? There wasn’t anyone there.” And Lee Smith said, “I don’t cut.”

With stats like this, it's a risk I'd be willing to take:

what??? He’s thankful, pleased? I’ve gotta hear this!

 

 

edit: just tuned in and Wood, right now as I type, is ragging on him for being so optimistic and happy.

I’m glad josh didn’t see it. i don’t want anything happening to encourage more Lee Smith inclusion in the passing offense. 

 Yeah, now that Pat DiMarco is gone Josh needs a new favorite receiver.
