Covitz:Alex Smith will play entire first half of Sunday’s preseason game
Alex Smith will play entire first half of Sunday’s preseason game
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said starter Alex Smith would likely play the entire first half on Sunday night at Carolina, but the rest of the quarterback rotation has not been determined. The starting offense struggled in the preseason opener against Cincinnati, going three-and-out, settling for a short field goal and Smith lost a fumble when sacked. Smith said he had a simple goal for Sunday night: Hold onto the football. “That was the biggest play for me in my (time on the field),” Smith said. “You look at two third-and-shorts that we didn’t convert, one on the run play and the last on the pass play ... miscommunication there with the receivers. You just can’t have it. “To me, two plays jumped out — one, the fumble, you just can’t have turnovers. The second one, that third-and-2 down there, in the red zone, if you convert, you have a good chance of walking away with a touchdown. Those are big downs, we know that. You have to execute those and it’s all kind of in the details.” |

The only times he didn't seem hyper conservative to me were in the 4th quarter of the @DEN game, SD @ Arrowhead, DEN @ Arrowhead, maybe the @WSH game mildly, and of course the playoff game @IND. |

IF they saw the football bounce right back into Luck's hands they would believe in luck.

And that was the point. If Aaron Murray shows anything during the preseason he won't make it to the practice squad.

Luck plays even more of a role in CLOSE games, which Marty CONSTANTLY had because he played too conservatively when he could have opened up leads.

also could have thrown games away by being reckless and not leaning towards what should have been the stronger team aspect (defense).

Then Marty happened and started throwing the ball all over the field in the second half... IF I remember correctly, those picks happened in the second half... Marty totally Marty'd himself that 95 game... That is when I realized he is a fraud NFL HC... |

95 he was determined to make that his "tendency breaker". The problem is Marty, the herald of defense, was one of the biggest proponents of the Prevent, and we all know what that defense does... |
