49ers | Offense used passing game more in Week 8
Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:53:28 -0800 Matthew Barrows, of the Sacramento Bee, reports 36 of the San Francisco 49ers' 54 offensive plays in Week 8 were passes. The 49ers also called 17 pass plays on first down as opposed to eight runs. However, the team did not use many three-wide receiver sets, as they did in Week 7. Though QB Alex D. Smith has appeared to excel when the team uses the spread attack, head coach Mike Singletary said Monday, Nov. 2, he was hesitant to turn to it more because it puts so much pressure on a quarterback who has started only one game this season. "You don't want to put him in a situation where, 'OK, is Alex really ready to do that?' " Singletary said. "You take a step back. 'Is our offensive line really ready to do that?' "
