Ok, guys, not sure where to put this observation about Alex Smith, but I figure a thread that's about the defense is as good of a place as any!
Anyway, not sure if you guys heard Smith's post-game interview? As much as I'd agree that he's a mediocre (or worse) QB, I'll give the guy one thing. He's one sharp dude. His answers to questions were very well thought out, and his observations about the game were insightful. One item that I remember was his comment about the significance of us going 3 and out twice after our first drive. He felt that those were opportunities missed that could've changed the nature of the game early on.
Of course, he owned up to the endzone interception as he said he lost sight of the safety. Heck, I don't think he even said anything about it being tipped.
I guess my point here is that Alex is a sharp guy who probably has a better feel for the game that I give him credit for. I'm also wondering if some of his reluctance to "take chances" is possibly Reid-driven as Andy also seems risk averse. So maybe, just maybe, just a tad of Alex's overly careful demeanor is encouraged by Reid?
In sum, I was impressed by Smith's interview and responses. Just wish he'd adopt a more aggressive game. Damn, he really is an enigma.
