I think that Smith would have been better under shanny than Jimmy and would have allowed Shanahan to open up the playbook a bit more. Shanahan might have called a more aggressive game knowing he had a guy he could trust to not get overly aggressive with it (and check it down if it wasn't there)
you got him
