Regardless of the how's and why's of it with Maason Smith being inactive in week two? It reeks of incompetence between the personnel department and coaching staff.

48th overall pick inactive "just because" is a lame [BLEEP] excuse for both parties involved. Even if you felt the guys you signed onto the roster were better "suited" for this week. How is the 48th overall pick, who just drew 2 holding penalties in the season opener with his size and athletic ability NOT apart of your gameplan or in the rotation.

That "development" nonsense shouldn't apply to a top 50 prospect. Can't defend that. Again, BOTH parties have some explaining to do there in my opinion. Players develop by getting live rounds, learning on the job and making mistakes and learning from them on the football field. They didn't mind forcing Strange and Bigsby out there last year as rookies, to the detriment of the team at times with turnovers and sloppy blocking leading to holding calls.

In this case, you get a guy that actually drew penalties in your favor and you decide to bench him for week two? Hmm.
