What Ankle?

Yesterday during the game between the 49ers and the New York Giants, Frank suffered an ankle sprain. It looked like he was going to be out for the game, but they taped that sucker up Kurt Warner style and he continue to carry the rock. Later, Gore explained that even though his ankle was injured, he was able to continue playing “on pure adrenaline.” Wow. That’s all I have to say. Wow. It’s one thing to play through pain, it’s another to play while a piece of medical tape is holding up your tattered ankle together. Hopefully he meant natural adrenaline, and not “Any Given Sunday” type adrenaline. Unfortunetly, it seems that Gore didn't have any to spare to Alex Smith, since Smith was still on the sidelines while Trent Dilfer continued his day job of losing games for NFL teams.

According to Smith:
"It's disappointing. I've been with this team for a while now, and to see another guy in your huddle, it's a strange feeling."

It must even be more disappointing seeing that the guy in the huddle is Dilfer. It’s okay Alex, you’ll get used to that feeling once the Shaun Hill Era begins.
