MEMO TO THE FANS: ALEX SMITH TO THE CHIEFS MEANS HE WAS THE MISSING PIECE



Alex Leaving Costco in Palo Alto on Wednesday.



I'll explain they Missed perception on the game, is undoubtedly the mis-judgement of Jon Harbaugh's early coaching Career. Not that it has anything at all to do with him, it was the Media Hype, Attention, and Ego On the Niner's it was a hard fault battle, which I thought for sure the Niners could have Found the End Zone more so in the second half, had Smith replaced Kaepernic. To rejuvenate the Offense against a tired Defense, leaving little doubt anything but points would come from this strategy.

Alex Smith declared out for Monday night




The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith has been declared out for Monday night's game against Chicago with a concussion.

Team medical director Dr. Dan Garza evaluated Smith, who was hurt eight days ago against St. Louis.

The 49ers will start second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who replaced Smith in the 24-24 tie with the Rams last week.

Chicago also is without starting quarterback Jay Cutler because of a concussion. Jason Campbell will start.

Smith practiced on a limited basis during the week, but could not pass tests under the NFL's concussion treatment protocol to allow him back on the field against Chicago.

Smith has made 28 consecutive starts and led the 49ers to a 6-2-1 record this season. He was injured during the first half against the Rams and left the game midway through the second quarter.

Last season, his first under coach Jim Harbaugh, Smith led the 49ers to a 13-3 record and within an overtime loss to the Giants of a spot in the Super Bowl.

49ers make just enough plays, hold off Seahawks





By JANIE McCAULEY (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press – Fri, Oct 19, 2012 12:52 AM EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Two of the NFL's top defenses dueled it out in a low-scoring game just as everybody expected - and San Francisco's offense did just enough to give the 49ers a narrow lead in the NFC West.
For the time being, anyway. This is hardly the kind of firm hold on the division they owned last October.

Alex Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Delanie Walker late in the third quarter and San Francisco held off the Seattle Seahawks 13-6 on Thursday night as the 49ers won their long-awaited division opener.

''We expect these games in the NFC West to be 60 minutes of physical football,'' said 49ers left tackle Joe Staley, who returned to the field four days after suffering a concussion against the Giants.

Frank Gore ran for 131 yards and the 49ers (5-2) hung tough on defense late in a game featuring two teams allowing fewer than 16 points per game.

Smith went 14 of 23 for 140 yards in a second straight subpar performance.

''That was the most physical 30 minutes of football in the second half that I have ever seen our football team play,'' 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. ''It's a sweet win. It was a real football fight, and our guys won it.''

Walker's score was San Francisco's first touchdown in seven quarters after an embarrassing 26-3 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday in a lopsided rematch of the NFC championship game. The tight end broke his
jaw in two places at Seattle last Dec. 24 and sat out until the title game.

NFC rushing leader Marshawn Lynch finished with 103 yards for Seattle (4-3).

Vernon's two touchdown catches help Niners get past Lions


CBSSports.com wire reports
Sep. 16, 2012

SAN FRANCISCO -- Two weeks in, the San Francisco 49ers are playing like one of the NFL's best -- and you can shake on that.

San Francisco stymied 2011 NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, then record-setting Matthew Stafford in Week 2.

These Niners are doing it on offense, too.

Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 21 and 23 yards from Alex Smith, and San Francisco beat the Detroit Lions 27-19 on Sunday night in a September showdown of NFC powers that hardly lived up to its hype.

"Two playoff teams, back to back, and we came back out here tonight and did it again," running back Frank Gore said. "We came out here and started the game fast, and then we finished it."

This stingy, opportunistic defense denied Stafford another milestone and again is making its mark as one of the league's elite facing the top offenses and most prolific passers.

Smith completed 20 of 31 throws for 226 yards and extended his franchise-record streak of passes without an interception to 216. He led the reigning NFC West champion Niners (2-0) to their ninth consecutive victory in the series since the Lions' last victory on Sept. 25, 1995. Smith took a hard hand to the helmet from John Wendling late and bloodied his nose, then found Davis again.

San Francisco 49ers' Perrish Cox welcomes a fresh start





SAN FRANCISCO -- Playing for the 49ers this exhibition season has been extra meaningful for defensive back Perrish Cox, and his team-leading two interceptions are only a small part of the story.
The promising cornerback was an NFL outcast last season, forced to watch from home while awaiting trial on sexual-assault charges in Colorado.
"Nobody could help me. I felt I was in my own dark room by myself," the former Denver Bronco said this week. "But I escaped it."
Acquitted by a jury in March, Cox quickly signed with the 49ers. As Thursday night's exhibition finale against the visiting San Diego Chargers approaches, Cox is poised to make the roster -- and make up for lost time.

Perrish Cox Returns to Denver in Style

Perrish Cox Returns to Denver in Style:



Jacob Most49ers.com


Perrish Cox made a triumphant return to Denver by making a key second-quarter interception in the San Francisco 49ers’ 29-24 preseason win over the Broncos on Sunday.

With the Broncos backed up inside their own 20-yard-line on a second-and-13, Cox stepped in front of Eric Decker to pick off Caleb Hanie’s first pass of the second quarter. The 49ers cornerback brought the pass back 21 yards to the Broncos’ 19-yard line.
“I was just reading a three-step to five-step drop,” Cox said of his interception. “I think Decker ran a skinny post, and we were in cover-three coverage. I was reading the whole triangle from the receiver to the quarterback. He threw it and Decker wasn’t looking for the ball so I broke on it perfectly. It flew right into my hands.”

Cox looked comfortable all day in the mile high air having spent his rookie campaign with the Broncos in 2010 before sitting out last season.
