***SF 49ERS VS. OAK RAIDERS GAMEDAY THREAD (Preseason Week 2)***

I went back and looked at it as well as the TV replay. At the snap of the ball, Schaughnessy made a hard fake as if to rush the passer and THEN he dropped into coverage. It appeared that Smith read his fake line charge and took it to be man coverage so he looked off the safety then came back to Davis without checking to see that Schaunghnessy had dropped. The pass was on target for Davis had the defender not dropped.

All Smith's fault for not re-checking the coverage but it was an excellent play by the DE, both in his fake and getting quickly into a rather deep drop for a DE. Blame Smith for not making the correct read but also give the defense credit for setting it up well.

That's all.

Thank you! Shaughnessy made a great fake and an excellent defensive play. Alex was fooled, but if you could characterize good and bad interceptions (obviously they're both turnovers) it would be a more excusable INT than staring down one receiver or throwing into double/triple coverage. I'm sure someone is going to pull the 'Alexcuses' card, but let's be honest, we're not looking for Alex to have a 158.3 QB rating every game, we're looking for W's. And he displayed winning QB play, and I'm sure we wouldn't try running 5 of 6 times within the 2 yard line in the regular season so he very well might have had a TD if this game was for real.

Overall, Alex played really good IMO and I'm excited to see him do it again against a very stout front 7 in Houston.

After reading both sides, I'd have to agree with your assessment.

pleasantly surprised by our offense. Especially Alex Smith. Now lets see some consistency.

Kendall Hunter = baller.

This. I'd like to see him (Smith) play as well as he did on those drives again next week. But more importantly, I want to see him do it when the games count, and we're facing defenses more like the way the Saints played.

i dont think hes actually deaf I think he's an english second language learner...

Random thought, but I haven't seen anyone mention RJF, and I thought he played pretty well.

Just finished watching the game, gotta say I'm pretty surprised by Alex Smith so far, yes so far even since the Saints game. Sure Smith was constantly harassed in the Saints game but he still didn't show he was rattled. But Smith has shown good command of the offense so far, I'm lovin it. But man, if Smith goes down, we're screwed.
