Smith caught a pass from Jalen Hurts in the second half when multiple Saints carry outers met him for the tackle, but they initiassociate were not able to convey him down. As they persistd to try to get him to the ground, Smith was still churning his legs when Boyd blindsided him in a helmet-to-helmet scene that popped Smith’s helmet off his head.
There was no flag on the carry out, but it led to accusations of Saints carry outers levying filthy hits. Smith finished up leaving the field on his own power and was placed into concussion protocol.
Boyd deffinished himself in a since-expired post on his Instagram Stories.
“I would never intentionally try to give someone a grave injury. Just tried to produce a carry out on the ball. (Be) well soon 6,” the post read, via NOLA.com.

“I’d say our guys carry out excessively difficult, and we’re going to contend until the down is over,” Allen shelp, via ESPN. “I don’t leank we carry out filthy. I don’t leank we ever have carry outed filthy. It’s not the way we coach it, not the way we teach it, but we do carry out difficult.
“Look, nobody wants to see anybody get hurt, nobody’s trying to hurt anybody and, unfortunately, that’s part of the business that we’re in. No, we don’t carry out filthy. We don’t coach filthy, but we do carry out difficult and we do carry out physical.”
The Saints will hit the road to carry out the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
