Raye has a history of using his tight ends to great advantage and Hill's accuracy can only make that duo that much tougher.The SF 49er Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253960949639664967.post-87094331047514546252009-08-18T10:08:29.084-07:002009-08-18T10:08:29.084-07:00the good news is they FINALLY split Duke Davis out...the good news is they FINALLY split Duke Davis out in the slot<br /><br />they have wasted his talent too many years<br /><br />he has the ability to be a bigger, faster, stronger version of Shannon Sharpe3rdStoneFromTheSunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885818209425078599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253960949639664967.post-18973550956735604342009-08-17T07:12:47.877-07:002009-08-17T07:12:47.877-07:00Great summary.

I was also looking forward to the new and improved Alex and all we got was the same old kid looking like he is way out of his league. Huard showed much more poise and leadership.Tom O'Kanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253960949639664967.post-40370061595276461932009-08-17T06:53:39.706-07:002009-08-17T06:53:39.706-07:00I had read all the hype about the new Alex Smith i...I had read all the hype about the new Alex Smith in camp and I was excited to see his maturity. Instead, the old Alex Smith was there and I felt like I had been sold a bill of goods. <br /><br />Both Hill and Huard showed veteran poise and confidence. Alex still holds on to the ball too long and makes slow decisions. I don’t care about the stats, it’s what I saw in his development that convinced me to finally realize that this kid just doesn’t have it.The SF 49er Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253960949639664967.post-40859179692004849582009-08-16T15:19:42.503-07:002009-08-16T15:19:42.503-07:00I think Hill should start.

Smith blew it on the screen to Coffee, but made a nice pass to Morgan on the 3rd and 15.<br /><br />People need to stop bashing Smith and come to realization that Hill is not that good. Everyone will see that the NFL defensive coordinators will now catch up to Hill this year make him look less than ordinary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253960949639664967.post-9611596092693484752009-08-16T13:26:00.603-07:002009-08-16T13:26:00.603-07:00Other than that poor attempt at a screen pass, he ...Other than that poor attempt at a screen pass, he wasn't that bad. I don't understand why you'd go out of your way to depict his performance as bad.<br /><br /> He made a couple of pretty nice throws, and the TD wasn't as ugly as it first looked. Miller was so open because Alex drew just about every defender with a pump fake.<br /><br />Hill took a sack because he held the ball too long, yet a see no mention of this in your hasty writeup.Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253960949639664967.post-78607919840021400992009-08-16T07:44:23.789-07:002009-08-16T07:44:23.789-07:00Hmm... you left out the part where Hill was indeci...Hmm... you left out the part where Hill was indecisive and was sacked twice for big losses. I think you need to keep it objective. Smith looked okay for the amount of time off he had. Hill looked a bit rusty as well. I am a big Hill supporter and I am sure he will start. But, I don't think we need to bash Smith for being an upright guy and trying to help the team out. He may not end up being a quarterback, but to take a paycut and comeback to "finish what he came to do" is worth us being respectful of his attempt. <br /><br />At least he isn't acting like Crabtree. I would be bashing Smith if he had the Crabtree mentality. I can envision the following statement: "Smith: I just want to be paid what I'm worth. I havent' played like a superstar, but I could still be one... so I should be paid like one... after all I havent' had a fair chance!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
