The Michigan product struggled immensely as a rookie in 2023 and hasn&#8217;t gotten off to a good start this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_65db4bp3g\">On 56 total snaps, Smith has a 28.9 overall grade\u00a0according to PFF.\u00a0This is a brutal start for the 23-year-old who was a no-show last year. He finished with just 13 total tackles and three tackles for loss. Now in 2024, Smith has failed to record a single stat through two games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_q0efqtc1n\">Mike Zimmer took over as the defensive coordinator in Dallas this campaign and Smith isn&#8217;t making a positive impression so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_t70lrumgl\">We&#8217;ll have to wait and see the severity of his injury but regardless, Smith needs to step it up, or his time in Dallas won&#8217;t be very long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A second-year defender left Wednesday&#8217;s practice.
