Alex Smith Acknowledged Washington’s Front Office Issues Impacted Team

In an interview on The Rich Eisen Show, Eisen asked former Washington quarterback Alex Smith if he had any advice for new Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz. Smith explained Wentz had to keep his focus on the field and not worry about the off-field issues.

“It’s been flawed the last 20 years, there’s a lot of stuff going on there, a lot of distractions, it makes it difficult to kind of focus in on the football,” he said.

The conversation then turned into Smith’s perception of the organization as a former player. He acknowledged all of the team’s issues make it difficult to keep their eyes on football.
