Arthur Smith Explains George Pickens’ Low Snap Count Against Cowboys

Everything surrounding George Pickens in Week 5 was rather bizarre. From the eye black with a profane message on it, to the dirty play at the end of the game in which he ripped Dallas Cowboys CB Jourdan Lewis to the ground by his facemask. None of it was a good look, but even more puzzling was his lack of snaps on offense.

Before Week 5, Pickens’ lowest snap total was in Week 1 with 46 snaps on offense, which was 68 percent of the offense’s total snaps. Against the Cowboys, he logged just 34 snaps (59 percent).
