Smith's Week 1 protection elite; 3.04-second time to throw, zero sacks vs. Titans

Smith's Week 1 performance against Tennessee showcased elite protection: 3.04-second average time to throw (eighth-highest among all QBs in Week 1), zero sacks, one QB hit allowed, 19-of-24 completions. Smith credited the offensive line's dominance, stating "I thought the guys did a tremendous job of giving me lanes to throw through" and called the protection "outstanding." The clean pockets and run-game success (4.6 and 4.0 yards per carry for Hall and Allen) created sustainable offensive rhythm.
