[quote name="laudablepuss"]<a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/nunyo_demasio/08/07/postcard.49ers/index.html">Here.</a> [quote]Preseason practices reveal only so much, but quarterback Alex Smith exudes confidence, unleashing pinpoint passes[/quote] . . . into the back of his head. (He did this twice last year.) Thankfully, QBs are never responsible for sucking. It's their teams that always let them down: [quote]Perhaps Smith realized that even Dan Marino would have floundered in his rookie season if forced to perform with this supporting cast.[/quote] [quote]Smith's psyche is important as he gets a fresh start under offensive coordinator Norv Turner.[/quote] Hahaha Norv Turner. [quote]Coach Mike Nolan spent part of the morning practice having his players simulate sprinting out a tunnel before kickoff. Nolan was persnickety about where each player stood and how he trotted onto the field. I doubt many, if any, coaches put so much effort during preseason into the pregame stuff.[/quote] Wow. Just . . . wow. Coach and writer combine for the dumbest thing I'll read outside of HGB's LJ guy. ICJ, I have an awesome .gif file of Alex Smith in action that I'd like to upload. It also features ridiculously bad blocking. It's like the Buccanneers from the 70s or something.[/quote]
