I still don't see there was much else he could have done.

Start QD instead of mooney? Maybe. Mooney had (marginally) scored more for us, had a little more experience.
Remember, QD was intended more for next season than this, starts were always going to be a rarity for him.

Other than that, with both LB's injured what else does he do team selection wise.

Yes there are other issues, but on the straight 11 he put out there, his options were limited.
For me, handing Smith a debut was a bold decision that has sadly been overlooked, especially given the passion he played with.
