Smith answered nothing in this interview. Seems like the lower leg calf strain is still bothering him from practice last week. Once he entered the game it worsened to the point he removed himself. Now, not practicing this week to (save) the leg and starting on Sunday is not promising at all. If AS is not 100% healthy he should not play period. Based on what I heard from him, he is not 100% healthy.
Using words like, "bothering me", "limiting me", "continued to get worse", "did not improve" etc... Now, he did say the injury was totally unrelated to the bionic leg for what its worth.

Let DH take the practice snaps and design the offense to play to DH’s strengths . And DH has to execute or we lose big . An unhealthy CDC also means we lose big

A scenario that makes not getting 9 wins but 8 is ok with me as far as being legit as a playoff team

The talent is there because of the defensive players and they have a great coaching staff as far as defense goes, but I will also say that Alex Smith has always helped his defenses in field position, time of possession, etc. We might not see it in these small sample size, but if he were able to play for a season, I think we would see time of possession, turnover differential, field position, etc. Smith has a lot of interceptions this year, uncharacteristically, for him. But once he (if) gets his groove, I think it will be corrected.

This is not to say that you don’t want a Mahomes like quarterback, but the defense will be optimized with someone like him and then with the offense matures, you will take off. The next quarterback is the benefactor. The winning now will help with the winning culture, the time in this offense will help all the young players here and the defense is young/great. Things may align for a good window of opportunity.

this is in fact a playoff game and a test as well (if we make the playoffs )

i want us to win , i think we can , but DH and the offense (or CDC) have to play well and make plays that are there

We have to eat up some clock. Cannot go 3 & out with Wilson as he will make you pay as he is no Mullens. I believe the front 4 will eat but it all depends on how staunch our coverage is downfield. Now let's go feast on some hawks!

If the playoffs started today, we would host the Seahawks so there you go. (4 vs 5) How ironic. Might as well make this our own playoff game.

So which is it? A top 10 offense as post #17 says or 3rd worst offense as post #20 is saying. Or is that ranking in post #17 strictly a points scored per game in the 5 games Alex has been the starter type stat? Cause with Alex's passing numbers I don't see any whicha way the offense as a whole could be ranked in the top 10.

Is anyone in the NFCE going to make any noise in the playoffs? Likely no. But one of those teams will get the playoff spot, and the difference of draft picks are going to change wildly for the team who sputters into the playoffs.
