For the first time since he was in college, Alex Smith has spent most of his time in shotgun formation. Smith is known for exclusively in that formation in college at Utah and for 26 of the 49ers’s 59 offensive snaps, he was in that formation. Here is some more of the article: Moreover, Smith used his legs a lot more than he has in the past. He threw on the run, and even rushed for 32 yards. Smith thought it was the best way to play against the Steelers defense. But this might also be the template for the rest of the season. “It was nice to be able to move the pocket and give them something to think about,” Smith said. “Let them think about sprint outs. Let them think about moving the pocket. Let them think about keeps. “I think it’s something we can do against a team like this. You have to mix it up and change.” However, Smith will be without one of his offensive weapons this week against the Seahawks. Tight end Vernon Davis is expected to miss at least two games with an MCL sprain in his right knee. Offensive coordinator Jim Hostler, who came under fire in the Bay Area for his conservative approach in the 49ers’ first two games, said he really did not do anything differently. “What you saw were plays that are in our base offense,” Hostler said. “We had those calls in the other games, but it’s a matter of finding the best situations to run those plays.” Coach Mike Nolan said he liked what he saw from Hostler and the offense. “I thought the attack was good,” Nolan said. “I thought the plan was good. I thought the play-calling was good. I thought we opened it up.” Although Smith did not post great numbers, it was still the offense’s best performance of the season. Ironically, the 49ers failed to gain 200 yards of total offense in their victories over Arizona and St. Louis to start the season. Against the Steelers, the 49ers gained 289 yards of total offense, with Smith passing for 206 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Source: MSNBC Comments |
