Alex is OK

by zonedogs on Aug 23, 2010 11:05 PM PDT

All the press for the Alex is or Alex isn't. Alex Smith will prove he is worthy of the starting QB role the rest this year..The coaching staff has finally drafted the goods on the o line and Alex is accurate. He can run, and is tough. The reason he got injured was the line was letting ol-lay sacks happen.........Apptitude. Anyone who has met and played with Alex has said this guy is smart and he is willing to do what he can.......give him time and we will win the west.

I think he proved last year he should be the starter, but he had no competition.

Can’t wait to see him with Gore, Crabtree, and Davis altogether and healthy.

And that OL too.

Don’t forget the big uglies.

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Maybe the D can get some rest between series this season.

Alaska is a state, dammit! Can I get a Niner game on TV up here?

From Maiocco's report

Defensive Play of the Game: Safety Dashon Goldson cheated up toward the line of scrimmage, showing blitz. Smith and Michael Crabtree, lined up wide left, looked at each other, clearly thinking cornerback Shawntae Spencer would receive no safety help. But at the snap of the ball, Goldson quickly retreated to cut off the passing lane to Crabtree. Smith held onto the ball, allowing Parys Haralson to get the sack.

I’m pretty sure this is the same play used by the Eagles last year to create an Interception, which Singletary was quoted as saying was designed to “trick” Alex, where the Safety crept up to the line then quickly fell back into the hot route passing lane.

Better to take a sack that throw the pick....unless it is the other team....

I think so too

and I’m glad to see that Alex didn’t bite

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority

I'm not gonna say he'll never make that mistake again

But it only took 1 time for him to screw that up and then learn from it.

Off topic

Did anyone watch Bradford last night? Rams look somewhat interesting with him in the huddle.

Coach Boone: And who's team is this, Gary? Is this your team? Or is this your daddy's team?
Bertier: Yours.
Coach Boone: Now get on the bus. Put on your jacket first and then get on the bus.

I've been watching Bradford for a while now

He is legit.

As far as coach Singletary and the 49ers – Singletary, that dude is legit. He’s legit on all levels. He’s doing what he feels is right.
