Since Smith draws a lot of heat from fans for his play, I thought I would focus on him on defense while watching the replay:
1st-and-10 Smith drops into zone coverage in the middle of the field before picking up the crosser as Hurts throws over the linebackers to Goedert. It appears that Diggs was playing the receiver who crossed, but then had to pick up Goedert coming off the line because of zone responsibilities. Goedert broke inside behind the linebackers with Diggs chasing. The crosser kept LVE and Jaylon from dropping in front of Goedert's route and Diggs couldn't catch up to Goedert. Smith was in good position on the crossing receiver.
1st-and-10 Smith stepped up to take on the back coming out of the backfield (either for the run or pass, can't tell), but the back actually dove at Parsons' legs to block him and the throw was quick to the outside, where Lewis pushed the receiver out of bounds after a few yards.
2nd-and-5 Smith is sitting in middle zone with a receiver just entering his area when Hurts throws deep down the sideline and is intercepted by Brown.
Nothing spectacular or particularly bad by Smith on this possession.
