Durham Smythe

Baltimore Beatdown's Week 2 coverage of the Ravens' upset loss touched only glancingly on Durham Smythe. Frank Platko's snap count analysis noted low usage for the team's pass-catchers generally, including the rookie receivers and Chidobe Awuzie, but Smythe was not singled out for either a surge or a drop in playing time, so no specific snap trend for him has been reported. A separate Week 2 report card from the same writer graded the team as coming up short across the board in the loss, again without individual comment on Smythe. In short, this week's reporting describes a team-wide poor performance and suggests tight end usage was not a storyline of its own; nothing on Smythe's health, role change, or targets was published this week.
