Consequently he is a matchup problem on deep routes but does not run the routes a QB needs in order to be able to get rid of the ball quickly under pressure. He is just not good inside the hash marks. That is one reason Smith took so many sacks in SF. It is also the reason many are predicting they will use the #34 pick on Zach Ertz who is more the traditional TE that can be a quick relief valve for a QB.

That shitty Vernon Davis, if only Alex had a real TE.
