The Facts: According to CSNBayArea.com's Matt Maiocco, HC Mike Singletary announced that Smith will start next Monday night against Cardinals.
Diehards Line:Smith lost for the first time in three starts and was sacked six times — leaving Singletary to ponder whether to return to former starter Alex Smith next week for San Francisco (3-7). Singletary said after the game he would watch film before making a decision. He apparently has and it was enough to convince him Troy Smith deserves another shot.
