Eric Murray saw Alex Smith roll to his right Friday, eyes downfield. From his safety position, Murray knew exactly what to do.
He sprinted to his left, where Chris Conley was streaking toward the corner with the ball headed his way, just like safety Eric Berry said it would be.
“We got the same thing the other day, and I was actually late on it,” Murray said. “So as soon as I saw him do that, I ran straight to the corner.”
Murray and cornerback Marcus Peters converged on Conley to deflect the pass, and inside, Murray was thrilled.
