For this reason, and perhaps some analyzes, the position of ball carrier has been underused in recent years. The runners struggled to obtain major contracts while the Directors General Hierarchy other positions.
However, after a major turnover during the offseason, the teams can now obtain the index. And they will have someone like Saquon Barkley to watch. The Eagles that run in ball are a victory for a Lombardi trophy after a regular season of 2000 yards after the giants decided not to re-sign it to a long-term agreement.
“There was a commitment to these guys’ racing game.” Smith said in a recent interview with PK Press Club Digital.
He specifically quoted Barkley, Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs, who all changed his team during the offseason.
“The quarter game was at best mediocre in some of these organizations, but they still want to talk about the devaluation of the position of ball carrier,” said Smith. “I would call him the under-use of the ball carrier in relation to the devaluation of this position. And it is on the offensive coordinators and the league which pushes this story that the position of the ball carrier is not precious enough . “
What is not mediocre are the snacks that Smith will deliver during the Super Bowl. He was in New Orleans as part of the “Chips and Sips” campaign of Pepsi Co and Froto-Lay.
“Whenever you have an event like the Super Bowl, you must have your favorite tokens with your favorite soda. Everyone has the chance to celebrate something and have fun with high quality snacks for the big game” , said Smith, he adding “as[s] A small ranch. “”

Smith also seemed to call the hypocrisy of the coaches who end up relying on the racing game when the quarter game is not up to it.
“This is how I look at him. The teams talk about the undervalued ball carrier, but yet, when the teams cannot launch football, or the quarterrier n ° 1, they do not launch the ball in the same way When Cooper Rush is in the game, “said Smith.
“They lower his attempts and guess what they do? They rely on Rico Dowdle and the Dallas Cowboys Running Body. And be effective in this way, you can surely do this with Dak Prescott and be A better football team than they are right now.
“Think of Bijan [Robinson] Down in Atlanta. This is the best thing they have. And Michael Penix became a better quarter of a quarter because he had a good ball carrier behind him. … But people no longer want to talk about it. They want to talk about what Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomas do. “”
