Jim Harbaugh on Alex Smith


This is a portion of a syndicated post. Read the original at Inside the 49ers or scroll down the Extra Point.

Head Coach Jim Harbaugh was the first person to speak at the podium after practice.

He was winded at the beginning of the interview and he was sweating. He spends a ton of energy coaching during practice. He participates in …

Extra Point:
Wonder if Harbaugh had anything to do with landing Edwards? How about this quote:
“We definitely talked and, what can I offer [WR] Braylon Edwards, and I told him this. My experience and my knowledge and I’m looking forward to that. We got some of a similar background. We both grew up in Michigan. We both went to the University of Michigan. I know how Braylon was trained at the University of Michigan. I know his family, know his dad. One of the real class guys that ever went through the Michigan football program. I think Braylon knows that some of the things, that you know, he needs to get back to that kind of training. That kind of atmosphere. That kind of accountability. He’s hit some potholes here and you don’t want that to spiral further down. So it’s time to start doing all the little things right, that he knows that, that he’s capable of. He’s a good guy and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Sounds like Harbaugh wants to work with Edwards to get him back in line, not just for football but for life. Cool.

Another big change is that Harbaugh has the quarterbacks wearing a brace on their planting knee in practice and in games to help prevent injuries. I am a bit iffy on braces because I worry about its affect on the strength and stability of a joint once you take the brace off... here's what Harbaugh had to say:
“Yes. Yes, it’s like a seatbelt. You can’t fight the odds, on wearing it on the plant leg, that leg that strides out and it’s something that can prevent MCLs. That’s the thing that it’s there to prevent, the impact from the side of the leg. Even if you were to get a shot that would be a grade three [sprain], the brace could make it a grade two or a grade one or eliminate it all together. We’re trying to find ways to dodge bullets out here and give ourselves the advantage over the bullets.”
