This.
Not deminishing the big value of sacks. But today's NFL puts too much emphasis on the sack stat.
Watching film and seeing if he reads run/pass quickly, does the selfless hard work like tieing up blockers on run plays, maintaining gap responsibility, holding his ground are also very important.
What good is a sack if he gets burned on run plays. So many pass rushers of today misread run plays or don't even try to play run defense and blow gap responsibility and get burned. They only care about sacks because that is where the money is.
It is very coachable.
I like Smith and hope he continues to improve
