But Charles only has 32 rushes, 16 each game. And Smith has 12 of the 52 rushes, and almost all of those are scrambles. Take these facts into consideration, and it is a much larger disparity. In either game this season Reid has not made a conscious effort to establish the run early. This keeps the offensive line from getting into a rhythm and it effectively make the play-action passing game null and void, and in doing so drastically reduces the best weapon on this team from a rocket launcher to a .38 special. I believe that if we do not make establishing the run early a priority, this team will not win very many games, because no matter how much of an improvement Alex Smith is over Casshole or Quinn, or how much he is improving himself, he is not a QB that can carry an offense with his passing ability. And on Thursday, no matter how good our defense is, they need the offense to posses the ball for long periods of time, limiting the opportunities of the Eagle's offense. |

Then, in the second half, they came out and started pounding Gore and started picking up yards. Combined with some big returns by Ginn, the 49ers pulled out the game. Smith was just a passenger that game. http://www.ninersnation.com/2012/10/...cisco-the-ball |

That last drive to chew up the clock was a thing of beauty though, minus the couple of unnecessary clock stoppages, with the offensive line and Charles taking charge of the game. That is what I expected all along. I suspect Albert having a visit with the offense on the sideline was the reason for the shift in the rushing game from nil to taking the game over when the Cowboys knew we were going to run it at them. If so, kudos to Albert! I also suspect that we will continue to be able to run the ball like that last drive from that point forward. |

But, what changed was they started throwing over the middle backing up the lbs, which opened up the running lanes. That's called COACHING. To say that Alex had nothing to do with a 13-6 win, when he threw the only td of the game is a bit much I think. But to each their own.

1 TD, 1 INT 140 yards AT HOME! against RW's Seahawks. Are you really bragging about that? Game before that against an even worse Seahawks team 0TD,0INT 179 yards Game before that 0TD 0INT 124 yards Dumb fanboys. So yea...he beat the Tavaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst led Seahawks without even needing to score a single touchdown. You guys are worse than Tebow fans.

FTR, I was talking about the one game Mav brought up because it was one I remember watching last year. It was very clear at the time that the 49ers were struggling until they took the game out of Smith's hands. The article backs that up. |

They are essentially the same team as last year.
Lol. last year at least you could say the 49ers defense was hurt. Was it hurt sunday? HAHA. And like most don't think that the 49ers aren't better. Kap had the whole offseason as the starter, the LEADER, he was god after whooping up on the packers. Whats the deal? Who is making the excuses now

The 49ers were very lucky that Wilson was still in his struggling on the road phase. |

Right, cuz SF is the same team now too.
Wasn't the excuse that the 9ers lost because they were hurt on defense, missing some key players. Aldon was hurt and Justin Smith was out? The defense did their job and was healthy this year. Again, what happened? |

8-19 142 yards? And, if one were to objectively look at that game vs the Seahawks last year, one could say that it was another heavy weight fight, and the 49ers are built around their run game? They took the ball out of Alex Smiths hands, and yet he was 7/8 in the second half because they adjusted from trying to throw deep, to throwing over the middle? Again, that's called coaching. Also, it was a game following the horrific game against the Giants, and it was a Thursday night game. None of that matters though. Yeah, you are right. Kap the franchise qb, led the 49ers to a whopping 3 points, with 4 turnovers. His performance was clearly more impressive......
