I don't recall hearing he was hurt. That was my point about predictability.....there were a number of players that werent utilized to any extent in the game yesterday. Could have been the game plan maybe.....

According to Underhill, Smith's snap count was 68% of the offensive snaps yesterday. He actually played more than Thomas. He was not targeted during the game.

Fortunately he's a smart rookie. He plays. He does his job. He blocks. And he doesn't complain about it. I believe he understands that if Thomas or Kamara or Ingram or Watson are open, Brees will get them the ball because they are higher up the progression tree than he is. Brees only has 9 sacks this season, and none in the last 3 games, because he throws the ball to the first open guy in the progression.

That's why I think Marshall's contribution will be about as insignificant as the other WR. Thomas lives up to his Twitter handle: CantGuardMike.
