Ontheair Scarlett played his fin- est game in a Cardinal uni- form last week against Ore- gon (2.5 sacks and a forced fumble) and has been crit- ical to the rebuilt defense all season. Without him, a worrisome situation on the line would have turned dire when nose tackle Har- rison Phillips was lost to a season-ending injury in September. "He's enabled us to play our defense, because we were so short on line- men," defensive coordina- tor Lance Anderson said. "Frankly, I don't know what we would have done without him." Scarlett's presence adds a dynamic to the 118th Big Game that would seem to favor the Cardinal. He can provide Stan- ford's offensive staff with detailed information about Cal's defensive playbook, personnel and on-field calls. He can provide Stan- ford's defensive staff with insights into how to at- tack Cal's offense, partic- ularly up front: He faced the Bears' offensive line- men each day in practice. Stanford coach David Shaw said he would not ask Scarlett for any infor- mation about the Bears. "I don't believe in that," he said. Whether Scarlett whispers suggestions to the assistant coaches and his linemates is another matter. Cal coach Sonny Dykes isn't concerned. "Not at all," he said. "We change the stuff enough, I don't think it's an issue." Scarlett made the move across the Bay in the spring in order to play with his brother Cameron, a Stan- ford freshman, and pur- sue his graduate studies in management science and engineering — a de- gree that Cal doesn't offer. He has frequently men- tioned having good friends on the Cal roster and com- municating with them reg- ularly. His view of lining up against the Bears — fun, wholesome competition — seems to mirror the ap- proach Cal's offensive line- men are talking. "I have nothing against him," guard Jordan Rigs- bee said. "We're still good buddies. I'll say hi to him, all that stuff. When it comes down to (playing), he'll be like anyone else." Scarlett's feelings for the Cal staff aren't as clear. He has made reference to "awkward conversations" during the transfer pro- cess and was taken aback by Dykes' terse reaction. "Gone," said Dykes, who later added: "Don't care." The next day, athletic director Michael Williams released a statement that noted Scarlett's "tremen- dous character" and said the school would not block his request to transfer. Asked last week if he had any hard feelings, Dykes said: "You don't ever want to lose players, but that's part of the deal." But there has never been a deal like Scarlett's. At the time the transfer to Stanford went public, he was still a Cal student re- covering from Cal football injuries and in need of Cal medical treatment — an unprecedented, awkward and potentially emotional situation. The Bears determined that it would be in the best interest of all involved if Scarlett didn't rehabilitate alongside his suddenly ex-teammates. He used the Haas Pavilion facili- ties with all other Cal ath- letes, rather than the foot- ball program's home at the Simpson Center. "No hostility," Scarlett said. 'That's just how it shook out." Scarlett joined Stanford in the summer and im- mersed himself in the play- book and offseason condi- tioning, with an emphasis on flexibility. Over time, his strength and quickness have im- proved, his knowledge of the playbook has deepened, and he has grown more comfortable with Stan- ford's system. He is tied for the team lead in quar- terback hurries and is sec- ond in sacks. "He's made as many plays coming at him as go- ing away from him, run- ning down the backside," Shaw said. "Those are the plays Trent Murphy made, the plays Chase Thomas made, the plays Shayne Skov made. He's doing everything he can every week. "He's been a godsend for us." Big Game FROM PAGE 1 clause. He is slated to re- ceive a $1.2 million sign- ing bonus, a salary of $5.8 million next season and $8 million in 2017. After that, he will earn $15 million each season for four years from 2018-2021. A reliable glove in the middle of the infield and first-time All-Star this past season, Crawford has shown his range at the po- sition as well as growth on defense and at the plate. The 28-year-old Craw- ford, who grew up in the area rooting for the Giants, batted .256 with 21 homers and 84 RBIs. During their three re- cent World Series cham- pionships, the Giants have seen the benefit of keeping many of their core home- grown players for the long haul. "Brandon is an excep- tionally talented baseball player who has earned this through his hard work, dedication and competi- tive spirit," general man- ager Bobby Evans said. "He took great strides both of- fensively and defensively last season, winning his first-ever Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award. This is a great day for Brandon and his family, for the Gi- ants and for our fans." He has played at least 143 games in each of his last four seasons after making his major league debut in late May 2011. Crawford was a key mem- ber of the Giants' 2012 and '14 World Series-winning clubs. San Francisco cap- tured three championships in a five-year span overall, missing the playoffs in the odd seasons — 2011, '13 and this year. "The success of our fran- chise depends on develop- ing and retaining home- grown talent like Brandon Crawford," Giants CEO Larry Baer said. "Brandon is an integral part of the team whose performance on the field will be one of the keys to our success for years to come. I want to commend Brian Sabean, Bobby Evans, Brandon and his representatives for their hard work to keep Brandon in a Giants uni- form for an extended pe- riod of time. This is an ex- citing day for Giants fans everywhere." Kyle Blanks has agreed to terms on a minor league contract with outfielder and first baseman pend- ing a physical, a deal that would include an invite to big league camp at spring training.

By Janie McCauley The Associated Press ALAMEDA Oakland Raid- ers linebacker Aldon Smith was suspended Tuesday by the NFL for one calendar year because of violations of the league's substance- abuse policy, a person with direct knowledge of the de- cision said. The penalty is effective immediately, said the per- son, who was speaking on condition of anonymity be- cause the decision hadn't been formally announced. Smith, 26, was released by the San Francisco 49ers in August after several run- ins with the law and then landed across the bay with the Raiders. Smith went through the locker room and told teammates good- bye Tuesday. The Raiders had no official word on Smith's status, and agent Doug Hendrickson didn't immediately respond to phone or text messages. Smith becomes the first player suspended for a full year since Cleveland's Josh Gordon in February — also for substance abuse. It's unclear for which infraction Smith is being suspended. The Niners re- leased him Aug. 7 following his fifth run-in with the law a night earlier on an off day from training camp. The franchise parted ways with one of football's most men- acing pass-rushers after Santa Clara police accused him of drunken driving, hit and run and vandalism. Smith was in a contract year. He started seven games and played in nine for the Raiders, finishing his second straight suspen- sion-shortened season with 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks. He missed the first nine games of the 2014 season while serving an NFL sus- pension for violations of the league's substance- abuse and personal-con- duct policies. Smith signed a one-year contract with Oakland just two days before the sea- son opener. The deal could have earned him as much as $8 million with bonuses and incentives. The Raiders practiced at their facility earlier in the day and players were filing into the locker room when news of Smith's suspension broke. Smith pulled quarter- back Derek Carr into an adjacent room and the two spoke at length be- fore Smith returned to the locker room and began saying goodbye to several other teammates, includ- ing wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who played with him in San Francisco. The Raiders were well aware of Smith's legal sit- uation.
