Thanks, I was wondering what happened to him. I thought maybe Rudi was the 'hot hand' with all of his 2 yard carries.
This is how I see it as well. I dealt Ray Rice for Smith during the Minnesota game because of what I saw during the game. He hit the hole hard and didn't dance nearly as much as he has in previous weeks. I think the kid is learning what it takes to make it in this league. I realize a new GM could come in and decide Smith is not his guy, but I liked what I saw. Not to mention that he can catch out of the backfield. As long as the shoulder is not a problem I see him getting more touches in the coming weeks. Understand that this is the Lions and Marinelli is fighting for his job, so it may take a few weeks for them to really give Smith the carries, but I think he'll be the workhorse in a few weeks. They have to see what they have in him.
More football brilliance coming out of the Motor City....
That's Rotoworld conjecture as much as anything. The Official Lions Depth Chart has Smith listed as the starter... and it's been updated recently to reflect McDonald's promotion... so we'll see how they're used in the games.
