Alex Smith Observation. | Page 16

ninerbrand · 2010-09-22T10:11:49-07:00

I am not sure who else has noticed this, but it seems to me that Alex Smith's interception 90% of the time come off of tipped balls. Especially, this year. Both passes in Mondays game that were picked were off tips. One of his two from Seattle. I have noticed this since he came into the league in '05. The ball just kind of has a knack for finding a defender. Why do you think he gets so many tipped balls? What do you guys think can fix this? My Suggestion: Pump fake. Throw not only the D-Line but the secondaries to delay their reactions. ninerbrand(on)

Smith has been pulling his end okay, it's f**king Rachel, the horrible playcalling, and our receivers not getting open that's killing us.

Seen a few times he had a pocket, but still rolled right...? While I do not like our backup situation any better, Smith needs to be gone. I said I would give him 4-5 games, but I am done with him.

If they cut him, then we never havve to worry about seeing him again. Consistency is the key, and he has absolutely none. Can you blame tips on Morgan, Gore, Crabtree, and the whole WR core? He is done!

alex smith is most definitely part of the problem but with all the other issues at hand, replacing him doesn't even come close to offering the solution.

the offense is in such a mess there are only a handful of qbs in the league that could succeed with this crap.
