Former #49ers pass rusher Aldon Smith died this morning in Northern California.
He was 36.
Statement from team:
“We are devastated by the sudden and tragic passing of Aldon Smith. Aldon’s undeniable talent and sheer dominance on the field were on display from the moment he joined our organization, having recorded one of the best rookie seasons the National Football
League has seen. Beyond his excellence as a player, Aldon will be remembered for his infectious smile that lit up every room he walked into. Our entire organization sends its deepest condolences to the Smith family and all who knew and loved Aldon.”
Joga Bonito? Perhaps not.
“Dead balls are an important strategy,” said Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti this week. And his players have been wearing NFL quarterback-style playbook wristbands while practising set pieces in training ahead of their World Cup opener against Morocco.
In a World Cup when the sapping heat is expected to diminish teams ability to play and train at intensity, an effective playbook of set pieces could be the difference between winning the tournament and not.
