While I know our obsession around here seems to focus on game-winning catches. I want to think outside of the box on this one. It was 3rd and 7, Alex runs it in from 28 yards out. The score is 24-23 New Orleans at that point in the game. Here is the link to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mSgUnIq7yx0 That run did something to Alex, I cannot explain it. Those of you who watched the game know what I am talking about. We all go through moments in our life where we change. This was his moment. I am telling you, he is different. And I know for a fact that somewhere, Steve Young is smiling. Because Steve loves talking about QBs that have moxie. Alex has it. He has shown it. Steve can especially appreciate this because of his own struggles and turmoil as he fought to earn the respect of the fan base, and more importantly, himself. And it is fitting that in an organization that has had two excellent hall of fame QBs that Alex proved himself not once, but twice.

If Staley isn't down there making that block, Alex probably doesn't score... who knows what happens. That was ALL hustle and effort by Staley... I love this team!!

I like Tebow but if he did this... WOW it would be replayed on Sports Center 10,000 times this week alone.

Before Alex even broke around the corner i seen the wall that the O-Line set up and jumped up and screamed "ALEX SMITH TOUCDOWN!!!!!" By time i was done screaming he was in the endzone. I seen that all the way as soon as he started running. it was amazing
