49ers quarterback Alex Smith was wearing a wristband with the plays on it during the team's open portion of practice this afternoon.




i hope this helps him out.

Alex knows the plays fine. He doesn't need a wristband. The OC needs to enunciate clearly and he needs to stop fumbling through papers and get the plays in to the lineup in time.

That's not the issue. The issue is SPEED. This way, all Raye has to say, for example, is "5! 5!" and Alex can then look at the band, see play #5 and call the actual play in detail in the huddle.

Raye will still be fumbling through his papers and won't be able to find them fast enough. Plus with his pronunciation "55" will sound like "65." There will be screw ups let me assure you...


Well not so fast. This might be a good thing. Let's say "55" is the patented tried and true dive up the middle into a cloud of dust and "65" is the TE seam pass that worked so well for us last year. Huhuh?

I can't believe that we are just now addressing these types of issues that are so elementary to game day preparation! It's an embarrassment to this team.

I just shake my head at all these headlines... "will we even show up Monday night?"

The maintenance guy will forget the damn keys to the team parking lot. They'll have to flag down a raiderfan with bolt cutters. The game will start late.

Are you basing the 6 years on how many years Alex Smith has been in the league? Because if you are, mind you that this problem isn't because of Smith. It's because of Raye and Johnson communicating the play to him.

Doubt that....Hondakillerzx is thinking the same thing I was. Alex should had this from the start....

The Sad thing about this situation is that not even my HIGH SCHOOL TEAM have a problem with calling plays. This is supposed to be a PRO TEAM? I hope Raye gets canned and the qb coach takes over!

its a lot more complex than that

If you guys get a chance, listen to the Jason Cole interview on KNBR. It's amazing we don't have a dozen delay of game penaltys. Jimmy Raye calls the play by the wrong name then relays it to the QB coach which then has to find the correct name call then relay to Smith. No wonder Sing says Nate Davis isn't ready. Imagine a coordinator with Alzheimers relaying plays to someone that has dyslexia!

Scary to think that maybe not be far from the truth.

good idea. That way Raye just has to call out a number, smith looks at his dainty wrist and we're set.

no more

Raye: "mrrrrmrrrightmmrrpost.rrrr..........rmmmmmm.eightyfive...rrrrrrmmmmmmmflat...."

"Who's Yahoo?"

it still wont help if raye is calling out the wrong play and then he has to find the number that matches his wrong play... We're doomed...we shouldn't even play anymore and just forefit the season!

sounds like a plan to me. Draft the best QB possible. I firmly believe that we now have a team that we can throw a rookie into and have him succeed.

i think we saw the end result of that on Sunday. Just think Seattle has 27 new players and a new HC. The 49ers got waxed by a crap team. Thats trouble.
