Alex Smith - The starter again?

Jason La Canfora of NFL network, the same guy that broke the story on running back Frank Gore's broken hip, is now reporting that Alex Smith will start against the visiting Seahawks this Sunday. How about that?

Will Alex Smith ride again?

Will Alex Smith ride again?

Changing Singletary: Mike Singletary has changed. Ever since the Broncos game, Singletary is no longer raging on the sidelines. In fact, cameras no longer look up Singletary every time something goes wrong on the field. The one time he was captured on camera in Sunday's loss against the Packers, Singletary was consoling a volitile Vernon Davis, who exploded on the sidelines after scoring on a 66-yard pass play. Davis looked as if was antimately asking for more passes.

Singletary has made a conscious effort to be calmer. He no longer wants to be a sideline distraction and to have players answer questions about his demeanor.

Also, in news conferences, as the questions get harder about what many believe is his impending unemployment, Singletary stays even-keel. It makes you wonder about him and that he may be maturing into the job. But all this could be happening too late.

Troy Smith - Still the starter?

Mike Singletary left open the possibility that he could bench Troy Smith. He said he would talk about it with his fellow coaches. However, I wouldn't expect him to make that move. The team probably still wants to see what Smith can do and if he can develop a short passing game.
