Pocket Presence

Alex Smith may be finished in San Francisco, but he kept his poise to the end. Playing without his top running back (injured reserve) and his coach (fired), he stood tall in the pocket and delivered. In a battle of also-rans Smith was 15-29 for 276 yards and 2 TDs in a 38-7 rout of Arizona. The 49ers got 2 of their 6 wins against the Cardinals; it was the second straight sweep of this division opponent. Smith is now a free agent and likely will not be re-signed by the Niners. Hopefully he will get a fresh start with another team next season (if there isn't a lockout).

For playing well until the bitter end Alex Smith wins the ProUte of the Week award ahead of Paul Soliai (6 tackles, fumble recovery) and Eric Weddle (6 tackles, INT, PDef).
