Of course the pressure is on the OL, but the fumble is on Smith. Step up, side-step, make the hot read, orthrow it away. Hell take the fucking sack - but don't fumble the ball untouched in our own territory.
The pressure was on the OL, but the fumble was 100% on Smith. That's like saying Brown's fumble earlier was partly on the OL because they gave him no option but to make a stupid play.
That wasn't my point.....it was an opinion that the coaches might try to get a look at Kap in game conditions.
Is that going to change the OL? does make the OL block better?
where's Staley and his "we dont suck" speech?
So you say the OL fucked up, but isn't responsible? That might be the stupidest thing ever said on this board.
As for Smith's instincts, he saw it, he stepped up and he dropped the ball. His instincts did what you wanted them to, but he lost the ball.
make a hot read? Babin came from the DL untouched, Smith NEEDS to ASSUME that his OL will pick him up....
Its a matter of things getting worse and worse.....
Gore is completely washed up. It is time to trade him so they can get anything for him. He is not a starting rb anymore for the NFL. Heck maybe not even in the CFL.
Funny if we had just taking a knee some of these same people would be complaining their was time still on the clock to get a FG before half.And as for Kap, just no. If we put him in after the half we may as just well save our players the chance to get injured and forfeit the game. I'm not trying to say we will win with Smith either, but we will lose worst if Kap comes in. Honestly with the way Vick is shredding our D and our lack of pressure on him we have not shot.
Imac Irregardless of OLINE play Smith should be able to read pressure and know when to tuck the damn ball. Yes the OLine fucked up But good Qbs have the instinct and vision to say oh shit Pass rusher free, Alex's instincts are piss poor. The Sack yeah Oline or someone screwed the pooch. The fumble 100% Alex Smith.
So without the pressure, Smith still drops that ball?
Well it's quite obvious Staley is bipolar. I didn't hear that speech but I'll take your word on that one, Cal.
Shut the fuck up.
LOL, I didn't even notice that. Time to rewind here.

Exactly. Hot reads are for when a rusher is unaccounted for and the QB knows it. Generally speaking a blitzing LB or DB.
Hot reads are not for when the defense rushes 4 and one of the DE is unblocked.
