Staley: “We didn’t make any dumb decisions with the ball.”

SAN FRANCISCO – Here are postgame quotes from Joe Staley, courtesy of the 49ers.

Talk about the game a little bit.

“The offense really took care of the ball. We didn’t make any dumb decisions with the ball. We didn’t turn it over. I think that was a big key for us offensively. Obviously, we would like to get things going a little more with running the ball. I think we did a great job up front protecting the quarterback, no sacks today, and that’s something we definitely improved on from the preseason. Good first step. The big key was no turnovers and smart decisions, and we came out with the W.”

You came a long way from that first exhibition game when things didn’t look so good.

“Yeah, we are on top of it. That’s where we are going with the blitz pick-ups. Just being smart with the football and not making any dumb decisions. All in all just, coming out with the W”

How was Alex Smith? Is he the same Alex or is it Alex II or a little bit improved version?

“It’s the same old Alex I’ve always known. I think he communicated more leadership in the huddle. He did well out there. Like I said, no turnovers. That was a big key is that we won the turnover battle. It’s exciting.”
