aaKansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith wowed the crowd with pinpoint throws

Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith didn't care that the skies were again overcast during practice on Monday; likely because his accurate throws would've outshined the sun, had it made an appearance.

Smith was on-point, nearly perfect, unofficially completing 17 of 20 passes for three TDs during the roughly two-and-a-half hour practice.

"It’s a reflection of the group,” Smith said. “O-line was great today; it starts with them. They did a good job communicating, especially in the blitz period, third down, everybody was on the same page and then there were guys making plays outside. We got off to a good start but really, I think the spark came from the guys up-front."

Among the many pass-catchers Smith connected with on Monday, Chiefs TE Anthony Fasano continues to play at a very-high level. Smith threw to Fasano three-straight times, late in practice, including one TD.

"He's such a dependable guy, so reliable," Smith said of Fasano. "He has such a great knowledge of the game, a great feel for it, defenses and how they’re playing him and he uses his body so well. He continues to make tough catches. He’s what you’re looking for in a TE, that reliable guy that continues to be open, time after time."

Another of Smith's targets was Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe, whose best catch on Monday was a one-handed grab in 7-on-7s.

"That’s just him making me look good," Smith said. "There’s not much to it. I threw it up there and let him do the rest."

Bowe described the play from a different perspective.

"No, man," Bowe said of Smith's pass. "He put the ball right on the outside; he saw the inside leverage, and our job is to catch the ball; it happened to be a one-handed catch, but it was a great pass by Alex."

Bowe also shared how he's feeling just days away from the team's first preseason game of the year.

"I’m feeling good,” Bowe said. "We’re going against the best every day at practice, so when we get to the games, we will be ready."

Following Smith, Chiefs QB Chase Daniel stepped in Monday and continues to move the ball effectively, highlighted by his completion to a determined Chiefs TE Tony Moeaki on a third-down play in the red zone.

"Chase did a great job of getting the ball out quick," Moeaki said. "I was just trying to get the ball vertical and it was a third-down play, so getting the first down in the red zone, that’s huge. We as a TE group feel that’s where our number should be called; we’re just trying to help the team score."

Later in 11-on-11s, Chiefs QB Ricky Stanzi closed out the drill with a beauty of a throw for a TD to Chiefs rookie WR Frankie Hammond Jr.

"It was a great throw by Ricky,” Hammond Jr. said. "I kind of pinned the guy inside and he just made a great throw and I went up and got it."

Like the other Chiefs rookies, Hammond Jr. is ready and waiting for his opportunity to shine on Friday night.

"Definitely,” Hammond Jr said. "It’s just ‘lay it out all on the table’; you’ll only get so many opportunities in these preseason games, so when we get out there, we have to make the most of them and go out there and play hard."

The team played hard yet again today, which caught the eye of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

"Good work today," coach Reid said.

"This is our fifth day in a row of full contact and going. This is our longest stretch; we’ll have another day tomorrow. So, the guys pushed through a big red zone day today, big 3RD-and-long day today. I thought they traded back and forth, challenging each other and working hard.”

Part of the hard work paid off for the defense in 11-on-11s, when Chiefs DB Otha Foster III was in the right place at the right time for his pick-six INT.

"I was playing free," Foster III said. "The guy dragged across and the QB threw it to him, bounced off his shoulder and landed in my hands. We were going full contact, all the way, tackling to the ground and that’s why I ran it all the way back."

Foster hopes to carry the defensive momentum with him into Friday's road game against the Saints.

"I feel good about that because it’s close to my hometown in Louisiana," he said. "I’m going to have a lot of family there and they love the Saints, except when I’m playing; they’ll be on my side (on) Friday.”

The Chiefs return to the practice field tomorrow, before a day off on Wednesday, travel day to New Orleans on Thursday and then, the real fun begins Friday night at 7:00 PM CDT, from the Mercedes-Benz

So, you think SF was gonna pay Alex 8 mil AND sign Manning to what he wanted? Hahhahaha.... you are even more brain-dead than I believed possible.

no, I actually think that guy you don't trust a word out of his mouth would gave told Smith he should have signed the contract sooner, IF THAT LINK IS RIGHT.

I posted several that disagreed with it yesterday and someone else did too.

But if harbaugh said it, it HAS to be true.

Oh wait, you don't trust a word he says...right?

I especially like this part:

The 49ers held off on negotiating a new deal with Alex Smith until after Manning chose to sign with the Broncos, something else that led people to think the 49ers were interested in signing Manning. Smith ended up re-signing and didn’t seem too put out by the time spent with Manning, leaving the whole thing as nothing more than a short chapter in an entertaining offseason...

Harbaugh went even further to make the team’s commitment to Smith as clear as possible. He said the team’s “evaluation” of Manning was designed with the intentionof having both Manning and Smith on the team next year.

“Were we out there seeing and evaluating if we could have them both? Heck yeah. We evaluate and eliminate the possibility. For further evidence, we would not have given any player out there in free agency a sixth of our salary cap, and let six or seven of our own guys go. Hopefully that sets the record straight. I don’t want you to keep reporting the silliness and phoniness.”

We’re not really sure why this would be coming up at this point. You can use any word you want — pursue, evaluate, observe, court — but there was definitely interest – a word Harbaugh used on Wednesday — in bringing Manning to San Francisco. Denying it at this point just seems silly, especially when you throw in the stuff about keeping both quarterbacks while simultaneously worrying about your cap space.

This is the same coach who adamantly supported Smith, right up until he benched Smith for Kaepernick. So you can't really trust a damn thing he says, but that's pretty typical of "coach talk" in college football and the NFL. Point being, the Niners "evaluated" Manning with the intent to sign him. Manning didn't call the Niners for a job.

Dude they went after Manning and would have told Smith to kick rocks had MANNING WANTED to go there.

The niners were in

First of all, this info comes from the most respected reporter SF has. Secondly, this isn't from the mouth of Harbaugh... it is from SF's GM.

... and the point you continued to miss from prior and even now?

It doesn't matter! He's Peyton Manning! If he calls you and you don't have Brees or Rodgers on your roster? You give him the time of day.

So IYO, we should what? believe that our F/O and coaches are stupid enough to think we could afford both? That Alex would be fine with this? Or that Jim told Peyton, "hey bro... we want you, but you gotta play for cheap!" .. or maybe just maybe the whole contact from Peyton/agent to SF was a ploy to drive up the bargaining leverage for Peyton/agent and Denver?

Think about it. We done here?

The guy doesn't throw the ball down the field.

He doesn't convert third downs.

He's not a playmaker.

**SAUTO** · 08-08-2013, 05:14 PM

Well I would just understand the team didn't like Smith that much and were trying to do whatever they could to replace the guy...

You are acting like they were just doing him a favor.

Not the case at all

Last time, and oh my... you are even more reeruned than Sweet Pussy Hate, dude.. my my... I have encountered some special dumbassery in my day, but you are up there in the top 10 for sure...

**SAUTO** · 08-08-2013, 05:21 PM

I agree you go after the guy.

I think you are a ****ing idiot to think that Smith had any bearing on it.

Which iswhat you have tried to say.

Nice to see how you act when defeated though.

Think about it. We done here?

Is this March 2012? I feel like I'm having deja vu.

My guess is that the truth is somewhere in the middle. I think Manning's agent made a call and the 9ers hoped on board without batting an eye...then made up a story to make it look like no big deal so that they didn't lose Alex in the process.

I have nothing to base this on other than my opinion. Truth be told, no one does..it is all he said she said.
