If we want Alex to play at his best we need to run more of a hurry up offence. Im sure a few of you guys have noticed how much better the offence is all ready when we run a hurry up.

You guys know way more about Gruden than i do. Is there any chance of him loosing up his grip a bit or is he completely stuck in his ways. look at the games Alex played last year. The team often hurried to the line and Alex was usually barking at the line like Payton Manning used too. We need to run a hurry up offence. Let Alex make more calls. If he still sucks...... ill tap out lol. Go skins!

So are you a Skins fan...or #1 Alex Smith fanboy?

I love in Woodside (next to Palo Alto). And you know who is in the middle of building a house here? Alex Smith. I actually ran into him at the Roberts Market here in Woodside maybe 18 months ago. He couldn't have been nicer -- he clearly knew the folks that worked there, and took the time for pictures, and to chat. Total class act. I was actually behind him in line, and he was profusely apologetic for holding me up.

I do hope we see Alex Unchained one of these days. Seeing some of his games for the Chiefs, in particular, I do not doubt his arm strength or accuracy on the deep ball. But he had a real rapport with those receivers.

It's been hard to do that with the Skins -- PRich has been hurt (and is now on IR), as has Crowder (missed 5 games). And Doctson doesn't get a lot of separation, and Smith is not one to throw a lot of 50-50 balls (hence, his low INT rate). So it's a very different situation than he had in KC.

I am surprised he doesn't have a better rapport with Reed, though. Reed hasn't really taken over any games, and I expected to see that. Same could be said for Vernon Davis.

Here's to hoping he stops the Texans DBs this weekend.

I used to live by St. Pius Church and run at Edgewood Park and Canada Road, loved Woodside.
