If Mitchell's baiting that throw, he might have been able to get over there (and I emphasize might; Mitchell isn't a burner by any stretch and Hill had a lot of space). But once he turned his head to look at Harris, Smith had him dead to rights.
Besides, if Smith still throws the corner route and puts a little loft under it towards the sideline, there's no reason that Hill couldn't have adjusted to the throw. As I noted when grudgingly giving that piece of human feces credit, he's a shockingly instinctive WR. His ability to adjust to throws and throw little nuances into his routes has shocked the hell out of me.
Gotta give him a shot there, you just have to.

But the entire time... Mitchell's hips never open and he's in squat position against The fastest player in the NFL. No WAY he gets anywhere close to a ball that leads TH even if the throw starts BEFORE he gets to the first squatting safety.
But yeah. Smith bails out when there's no pressure anyways AND misses the RB coming open on the back side. Bring on Foles. win or lose we're not going to win the big one with Smith so we're wasting our time.
