REZ Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 He'll be better because his line will be better. Tough to throw when you're always running for your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goopster24 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm sure that's part of the reason they brought in a smart vet like Dilfer. He's someone who Smith could learn from. 1459051[/snapback] I think Dilfer will teach Smith a lot. Smith has the brains and body to play in the NFL. Davis is only gonna help him. It will take a while for him to have success statistically because of the team around him but I expect to see a huge improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'd say San Fran's O-line is above average. They've got a solid LT in Jennings, a good-great LG in Allen, a stellar center in Newberry (who has his health problems, but looks to be okay for the start of the season), and a talented, young RG in Smiley. Kwame Harris has been bust so far, but he's got potential. Plus, they have Adam Snyder (former 3rd-rounder) to back up both tackle spots and Eric Heitmann, who's a valuable backup at all 3 interior spots. I'd say the only excuse Smith will have this year is that his WRs are still young and his projected #1 and #2 targets (Bryant and Davis) will both be in their first year of the offense.

Crazysight Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Actually they should have Eric Johnson returning next season as well. That offense could be surprising if it can keep most of its parts in place. Here's a telling quote I just found from last season: Arnaz Battle is currently San Francisco's No. 1 receiver. Impact: The oft-injured player is a solid No. 2 at best. We have no idea who would start opposite him at this point, either Rashaun Woods, Otis Amey, or the immortal P.J. Fleck. Have fun, Alex Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
