Rushing passer not local strong suit

ootball coaches call it
“getting home.”
As in, “We’re close, but
we aren’t getting home.”
It sounds innocuous enough
until you define the term.
“Home” is the intersection of
violence and the quarterback.
Because there is a great truth
in football: You can’t be suc-
cessful unless you can rush the
quarterback.
Which is also a euphemism.
You don’t really want to
“rush” the quarterback. You
want to hurt him. Not injure
him necessarily, although that
would be fine. You just want to
EMPIRE FOOTBALL » UPPER LAKE TRAGEDY
On Kellen’s team
The Upper Lake Cougars are wearing a No. 5 on their helmets this season in tribute to Kellen Smith, the son of the team’s coach and a backup
quarterback who was severely injured in an August auto accident.
Severely injured 16-year-old Smith has a #KellenStrong support system

acque Eischens plays the
moment over in her head
even as she tries to forget.
It was nearly 1 a.m. She was
at the front door of one of her
dearest friends, knocking with
increasing urgency, trying to
get Shannon Smith to wake up.
“When she opened the door, I
just completely froze for a cou-
ple of seconds. It completely hit
me: What do I say right now?”
she said.
When the words came, they
sounded something like this: “I
said, ‘Shannon, Kellen was in
an accident. We need to go to
the hospital.’”
When Mike Smith’s phone
rang at 1 a.m., he knew some-
thing was wrong.
Smith, principal at Upper
Lake Middle School who also
serves as the football and
girls’ basketball coach for the
high school, had been up late
after attending an Upper Lake
Unified School District board
meeting. He thinks he dropped
off around 12:15 a.m.
“I was just hitting deep sleep
and my phone rang and it was
Shannon,” he said. “It was right
at 1 a.m. and I was like, ‘This
isn’t good.’”
hit him hard enough that his
arm goes numb for a bit. Or
the air is flattened out of his
lungs.
Because in 40 seconds he’s go-
ing to have to run another play.
And if he is still taking inven-
tory of body parts, his success
rate decreases.
To which most football fans
would say “duh,”, but just for
KERRY BENEFIELD
Shannon and Mike Smith’s
son, Kellen, was grievously
injured after losing control of
his 2008 Honda Civic. Kellen, 16,
was northbound on Lakeshore
Boulevard in Clear Lake just
before midnight Aug. 14 when
he hit a wooden fence. His two
passengers, Desmond Mueller,
16, and a 14-year-old girl were
uninjured. But Kellen Smith
suffered a skull fracture and a
traumatic brain injury.
“I didn’t know exactly what
happened,” Mueller, a senior
wide receiver and free safety for
the Cougars, said of the crash.
“At first, I definitely didn’t com-
prehend what was going on.”
Mueller suffered a small cut
on his face, but was otherwise
OK. But it became immediately
clear that Kellen Smith was not.
“His head was sideways,” he
said. There was blood and glass
and pieces of the car everywhere.

the record, we have numbers.
According to Pro Football
Focus, the analytics-based web
site, hitting the quarterback is
literally a game changer.
PFF’s numbers (albeit from a
few years ago) show “a quarter-
back’s completion percentage
drops to 37.8 percent when they
are hit compared to 63 per-
cent when they are not.” The
percentage of passes intercept-
ed goes from 2.7 percent per
attempt to 4.8.
There’s more — completion
percentages drop in direct pro-
portion to the number of hits/
sacks in a game — but you get
Kellen Smith, 16, is known as a bit of a goofball and a loving friend,
and now he’s receiving support from friends, family and strangers.

This presents a problem for
the local squads since neither
the 49ers nor the Raiders can.
Not that they don’t recognize
the priority.

Familiar storyline for Giants
Young Rodriguez, Garcia
shine before Melancon
allows walk-off HR
By KERRY CROWLEY
MERCURY NEWS
ST. LOUIS — As the season
winds down, the book on the
2018 Giants is almost ready for
publication.
Some of the chapters focus
heavily on injuries and others
on the team’s offensive failures.
While the end of the plot has yet
to play out, the paragraphs writ-
ten about what’s transpired in
St. Louis this weekend will focus
on the promise of the future and
concerns of the present.
While young Giants continued
to showcase their potential Sat-
urday, a veteran under contract
for two more years served up the
walk-off home run in a 5-4, 10-in-
ning defeat.
For the second straight day,
right-hander Mark Melancon
took the loss as he threw a hang-
ing breaking ball that Cardi-
nals right fielder Tyler O’Neill
crushed over the wall.
“If I execute that pitch, then
I’m comfortable with it,” Melan-
con said.
Melancon didn’t execute and
it cost the Giants a chance to
snap a nine-game road losing
streak against National League
Central teams.
May 26 was the last time the
Giants beat an NL Central club
(Chicago) on the road, and that
came before rookie Dereck Ro-
dríguez joined the team. Rodrí-
guez started Saturday in St. Lou-
is, firing six innings of two-run
ball before disaster struck in the
bottom of the seventh.
After Rodríguez walked Cardi-
nals third baseman Jedd Gyorko
on four pitches, veteran catch-
er Yadier Molina slammed a

runners in scoring position, in-
cluding 10 on Saturday.
Seeking their first playoff ap-
pearance since losing to Kansas
City in the 2014 wild-card game,
the A’s (94-61) moved 33 games
over .500 for the first time since
Sept. 24, 2003. Oakland is 60-25
since mid-June.
Piscotty doubled off Hilden-
berger (4-5) leading off the ninth,
Ramon Laureano struck out,
Semien reached on a throwing
error by shortstop Jorge Polanco
and pinch-hitter Matt Joyce was
intentionally walked.
With the Twins utilizing a five-
man infield, Mark Canha struck
out in an 11-pitch at-bat. After Min-
nesota resumed a more normal

Woods said. “And the next thing
you know, I was off and run-
ning.”
With the most dynamic golf he
has played all year, Woods built
a five-shot lead in seven holes
before he cooled from there, set-
tling for a 5-under 65 that gave
him a three-shot lead over Rory
McIlroy and Justin Rose and an
ideal chance to end this come-
back season with a moment that
has defined his career.
Winning.
Woods has the 54-hole lead for
the first time since his last vic-
tory in 2013 at the Bridgestone
Invitational. He has never lost
an official tournament when
leading by more than two shots
going into the final round, and
his closing record with the lead
is 42-2 on the PGA Tour.
He has never been in better
position to show he’s all the way
back from four back surger-
ies that once made him fear he
might never play again.
“I’ve gone through a lot this
year to get myself to this point,

said. “I’m certainly much more
equipped than I was in March
because of what I’ve gone
through.”
Wood was at 12-under 198 and
will be paired with McIlroy for
the first time in a final group on
the PGA Tour.
McIlroy birdied two of his last
three holes for a 66.
“It’s obviously exciting for the
golf tournament. It’s exciting
for golf in general that he’s up
there,” McIlroy said. “But for
me, all I can do is concentrate

of my business, and hopefully
that’s good enough.”
Rose started the third round
tied with Woods, but not for long.
Rose opened with two straight
bogeys before battling back, but
the world’s No. 1 player already
was four shots behind after four
holes. He narrowed the gap with
a birdie on the 16th as Woods
had to scramble for bogey, a two-
shot swing.
“In some ways, it felt like a
Sunday just with the energy,”
Rose said after a 68. “But I knew
that it was halfway through a
Saturday. Just wanted to sort of
chisel a few back and give myself
a chance going into tomorrow.”
Rose forgot about Woods and
tried to beat East Lake, a game
of match play in his mind, in
a bid to stay in the game. He
wound up with a hard-earned 68.
There used to be no chance
against Woods when he was atop
the leaderboard going into the
final round. His only losses with
the 54-hole lead were the Quad
City Classic in 1996 when he was
20 and making third start as a
pro, and the 2009 PGA Champi-
onship at Hazeltine against Y.E.
Panik became the eighth dif-
ferent Giants player to start at
first base this season, making
his professional debut at the
position Saturday against Car-
dinals right-hander Adam Wain-
wright. A slew of injuries wiped
out the Giants’ first base depth,
so Panik played there for the
first time since his T-ball team
needed his services.
Manager Bruce Bochy said he
wanted to load his lineup with
lefties against Wainwright and
play Panik and Alen Hanson at
the same time, so the duo formed
the starting combination on the
right side of the infield.
Panik produced like a first
baseman at the plate, piling up
three hits and adding a walk in

Yang. He also lost a two-shot lead
to Lee Westwood in Germany at
a European Tour event in 2000.
Now?
Woods has gone more than
five years without winning. He
also has won enough times — 90
tournaments around the world
— to remember how.
“It’s a little more unknown
now,” Rose said. “Obviously, his
history, his statistics from this
point are impeccable. They’re
incredible. But he’s human, and
there’s a lot on it for him tomor-
row, as well as the rest of us.”
Woods has had four finishes
in the top 5, a runner-up by one
shot at Innisbrook and by two
shots at the PGA Championship.
Only once this year, however,
has he started the final round
within closer than four shots of
the lead.
Being up by three is a much
better view.
“Simple math says that if I
play a clean card, the guys be-
hind me have to shoot 67 to force
it into extra holes,” Woods said.
“That helps. I don’t have to shoot
63 or 64 and hope I get help. This

Saturday’s defeat.
“You’ve got to get creative,”
Bochy said. “Our first baseman
is down. We really don’t have a
first baseman right now.”
With Brandon Belt, Buster
Posey, Pablo Sandoval and Ry-
der Jones all sidelined by sea-
son-ending injuries, rookie Ar-
amis Garcia has earned most
of the recent starts at first base.
After finishing 0-for-4 with four
strikeouts Friday, Garcia moved
behind the plate Saturday.
Garcia grew up a Cardinals
fan, but disappointed the home
crowd at Busch Stadium by
picking up four hits including a
two-run single that pushed the
Giants ahead 4-2 in the top of the
seventh.

than four or five back.”
The Saturday start was simply
mesmerizing.
Woods poured in a 20-foot
birdie putt on the first hole.
His wedge settled 8 feet below
the hole on No. 3. His 20-foot
birdie putt on No. 4 tumbled
into the center of the cup with
perfect pace. Two short birdies
followed. And when he finally
missed a fairway at No. 7, Woods
hit a 9-iron from the bunker that
hopped out of the first cut to
about 5 feet for a sixth birdie in
seven holes.
The cheers were endless, and
there was no doubting what was
going on.
“I’ve heard the roars all day,
and it’s been phenomenal,” Paul
Casey said after his 66. “What an
atmosphere it is out there this
week.”
Woods, however, made only
one birdie over his last 11 holes,
a wedge to 7 feet on No. 12. He
missed badly on his tee shot at
the par-3 ninth, and the shaggy
rough to the right of the 16th
fairway caused the face of his
club to open, missing to the
right. His flop shot didn’t get up
the hill and rolled back toward
him, and his next pitch was a
bump-and-run played to perfec-
tion that kept him from another
double bogey.
McIlroy also started strong,
and being in the group ahead
of Woods, he knew exactly what
was happening. On Sunday, he
get a front-row seat. The only
other time they were paired to-
gether in the fourth round was
at the 2015 Masters, when both
were 10 shots behind Jordan
Spieth.
Rose won’t be in the final
group, but he has plenty on the
line even if he doesn’t catch
Woods. He likely needs to finish
in the top five to be assured of
winning the FedEx Cup and the
$10 million bonus.

Joshua knocks out
Povetkin to retain titles
Anthony Joshua retained
his WBA, IBF, and WBO
heavyweight titles with a
seventh-round stoppage of
Alexander Povetkin at Wembley
Stadium in London.
Joshua, who fought with a
suspected broken nose from the
second round, sent the Russian
to the canvas with a big right
midway through the seventh
and was unloading a flurry
of punches before the referee
stepped in to end the fight.
Joshua’s record moved to 22-0,
with 21 wins coming inside the
distance. This was another big
test passed by the Briton in front
of an estimated 80,000 fans at
Wembley — just like 17 months
ago when he recovered from
getting knocked down against
Wladimir Klitschko to win an
epic fight.

Kyle Busch wins
NASCAR playoff race
Kyle Busch passed Brad Kesel-
owski with 38 laps to go and held
off hard-charging Kevin Harvick
to win the NASCAR Cup Series
playoff race at Richmond Race-
way on Saturday night.
Busch won for the 50th time in
his career, the sixth time on the
0.75-mile oval and for the first
time here in the fall. And he did
it from the back after making a
prerace adjustment to his car.
“To start dead last, come up
through the field and win this
thing? That’s right Rowdy Na-
tion. All for you, baby,” Busch
said after climbing from his car.
“I finally won a fall race here at
Richmond.”
Harvick closed a gap of more
than 1.5 seconds over the final
few laps, but was not able to de-
prive Busch of tying him with a
season-best seven wins this sea-
son.
Martin Truex Jr., who swept
the first two stages before a pen-
alty forced him to play catch
up, rallied for third, followed by
Chase Elliott and Aric Almirola.

Towns getting $190M
extension from Wolves
Karl-Anthony Towns an-
nounced Saturday night that he
is recommitting to the Minneso-
ta Timberwolves, securing his
future there while Jimmy But-
ler’s remains a mystery.
A person with knowledge
of the negotiations confirmed
that Towns will be signing a
five-year super-max extension
worth $190 million. The person
spoke to the Associated Press
on condition of anonymity
because neither the team nor
Towns revealed the financial
terms of the deal.
Towns announced part of the
deal through social media, say-
ing “5 More” — a clear nod to the
length of the contract.
Butler told the Timberwolves
several days ago that he would
like to be traded and will not be
signing an extension to stay with
them after this season.

The teams played six days ago

For the first 15 minutes, Sen-

a 10-2 lead early on much to the

five straight points to retake the

head coach Kyle Shanahan said.
“He told us all week he was
going to play and we didn’t take
him that seriously because we
didn’t think he should be able
to. Then, we worked him out on
game day. He looked good. Not
only did he make it through the
whole game, but he played at a
very high level.”
Person played the game of his
life.
“He was huge,” said offensive
line coach John Benton. “The
game it became, we needed to
gain yards on the ground and
have him in there. I don’t think
we would have had nearly the
success without him. The lon-
gest run of the day was right off
his block.”
“He fits our scheme well,”
Benton said. “He’s really a tech-
nician. He has thrived with the
techniques we’ve taught him,
and was good technically when
he came here.”
Now, he has a home.

“He always pronounced

quarterback recalls with a
laugh.
Gruden stands correct-
ed. “I’m human like every-

name now for sure,” Grud-

Tannehill’s name may
be foremost for the Raid-
ers’ defense, but he has
handed off more than he
has thrown in the first two
weeks.
With Miami 2-0 for the
first time since 2013, Tan-
nehill’s happy to pass less.
“I’m good with what-
ever is winning,” he says.
“Whatever scores points.”
Oakland’s soft run de-

league-worst average of 5.7
yards per rush.
The Raiders’ Derek

a three-interception per-
formance in the opener to
complete 29 of 32 passes in
a one-point loss at Denver.
His 90.6 completion per-

attempts.
Oakland’s biggest off-
