Smith said he views dumping the ball off to running backs and letting them run as an integral part of the offense.

"Checking the ball down in the West Coast offense, if you're making good decisions, is a good thing," Smith said. "I don't think there's an emphasis either way. We're going through our reads and trying to make good decisions and throw the ball where it's supposed to go."

On Smith’s best throw, he felt heavy pressure in the pocket and rolled out right. He kept his eyes downfield and hit Ted Ginn Jr. in the back of the end zone. Ginn made a beautiful leaping catch. The pass was easily 20 yards, maybe more. One fan near me was incredulous. “That’s not Alex Smith,” he yelled. It most certainly was.

48 yd bootleg? talk about a playmaker.

You left out the best part!!!!

Quote:

Kaepernick may have had the highlight of the day, one he made with his feet not his right arm. He pulled off one of those fool-the-cameraman type bootlegs from the 50 yard line. By the time the defense knew who had the ball, he was at the 30 yard line and then outraced Taylor Mays - no slouch when it comes to straight-line foot speed - to the corner pylon.

Back-shoulder passes are something 49ers fans probably have a hard time recalling in recent seasons. Smith said it's one of the things the offense is working on in this training camp."

oh sweet jesus, finally!

not doing alexcuse #4,859 but if they never practiced pinpoint throws like that, how the fk was anyone supposed to succeed?? Qb's??? wr's who think passes come down like punts??

Quote:
■Braylon Edwards. Caught a five-yard fade in the end-zone from Alex Smith and made it look easy. The 49ers haven’t had a wide receiver they could throw the ball up to in goal line situations, and now they do.
■Carlos Rogers. Didn’t allow any completions in one-on-one drills, and no quarterback threw his way during scrimmages.
■Chris Culliver. The second best cornerback behind Rogers in the one-on-ones. He’s big and fast and improving.

• This was the crispest, most efficient practice I've seen while visiting NFC West camps over the past week. Coach Jim Harbaugh was everywhere, including deep inside the offensive huddle. The 49ers practiced with purpose. Harbaugh called this the best 49ers practice since camp opened. There was frequent give-and-take between offense and defense. Newly signed receiver Braylon Edwards dominated at times in the red zone. Fans in attendance cheered his every move, no matter how ordinary. Edwards' overhead touchdown grab against cornerback Tramaine Brock was a highlight.

THE BAD

■Anthony Davis. Got beat by Brooks for a sack. Davis didn’t appear to get a hand on him, either.
■Phillip Adams. Got beat almost every time in one-on-ones. He’s coming back from a broken ankle and he doesn’t look to be on the same level as the other cornerbacks just yet.

■Taylor Mays lined up next to C.J. Spillman on the second-team defense today.
■Donte Whitner and Madieu Williams were the first-team safeties, and Whitner stood out, almost making a diving interception.
■Neither Shawntae Spencer nor Isaac Sopoaga practiced today, but I saw them throwing a medicine ball back and forth around 3:30 p.m. Whatever they’re “working through” should be minor.
■Dashon Goldson may or may not practice tomorrow. When asked about it, Harbaugh said, “We’ll see.”

Too hard - yes.
Off target - yes.
Wobblers - no.

Has he been spending too much time with S. Hill?

The fans loved Hill's wobblers that went completed.... why not Smith's?

Because Shaun Hill is a "gamer" and has "heart" and insert every blue collar down to Earth underdog adjective/noun/quality here.
