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.” |

He is not playing that much more than he normally would. Maybe one or two extra drives, probably one. He would normally play into the 2cd quarter anyway in this game. The way everyone looked last week they all need the work. We are using a lot of inexperienced players and have some close battles that the coaches want to see just a few extra snaps where it is all the ones or to help determine who is or is not going to be the starter.

Normally in the 3rd preseason game the starting QB will play through the first offensive series after the half. The 4th preseason games starters play the first series of the game and then the teams play all the backups that are close to making the squad.
