Bolts From The Blue
Should tight end Stone Smartt receive more playing time after his clutch performance against the Chiefs?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Los Angeles Chargers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Happy Wednesday, Chargers fans!
This week, we’ve got two additional questions on top of our weekly confidence check-in.
Our first is about tight end Stone Smartt who is coming off his best game of the season in a clutch performance against the Chiefs. The former undrafted free agent had three catches for 54 yards on Sunday night, effectively doubling the total receptions he had coming into Week 14. Two of his three catches led to touchdowns or the Chargers and the third was a nine-yard grab on a third-and-seven.
With Will Dissly expected to “miss some time” per head coach Jim Harbaugh, and Hayden Hurst still on IR, it could truly be Smartt’s time to shine. So in the poll below, tell us whether or not you believe Smartt deserves more playing time going forward.
Our second and last question is about the right guard spot. Trey Pipkins has been rough as of late and Jamaree Salyer is still a capable player. He comes in on short-yardage plays over Pip, but obviously the latter earned the spot in camp in Harbaugh’s eyes. But after his worst performance in pass protection of the season on Sunday night, I want to know whether or not you think it’s time Salyer gets the nod.
Go ahead and hop into the poll and we’ll see the results on Friday!
