While I agree there should have been at least a little preparation for Smith, it's doubtful that it would have helped much. He didn't play at all last year, and it has been since week 10 of 2007 since he took a snap. They have new head coach and a new, first time, offensive coordinator. We started playing a lot of zone and the 49'rs adjusted...and figured out they could abuse our LB's with Vernon Davis, which they probably should have been trying all day.
I think way too much is getting made of this. It's not like they went in at halftime and installed a whole new offense at halftime...they just figured out what they had in their playbook that would work, and put in a QB who got hot and played significantly better than he ever had before.
