Arthur Smith took accountability for his decision to run the ball on Sunday. He defended it the right way as well. But he is also one of the smartest coaches in the league and knew that he could take advantage of what the Washington Commanders were doing defensively. He was right in that sense, but it just didn't work out. I still don't think there's any reason to question Smith as the right guy for this team. Next, The Georgia Bulldogs are making this SEC Championship match-up with the LSU Tigers personal.
