I never understood that rule. Is it assumed that the defenders would see him step out and think he is out of the play? I could see how it would matter on a turnover, but not like that.
"I'll give you hope for five minutes... AND THEN YANK IT AWAY!" Like Lucy with Charlie Brown. But wait! Smith connects with Davis on a deep ball. Smith is all of a sudden connecting on his passes.
Something about nearly getting benched seems to have rejuvenated Smith and the offense. They looked completely dead. Hey, I hope San Fran comes back and wins.
This Vick injury could be a blessing in disguise if he comes back to his early season form. (Assuming they win this game) Kolb increasing trade value.
^ They're not going to have an easy time retaining Vick. Ginn with a 61 yard return. geez he was definitely worth the pick they traded for him, if only just for his returns.
