We at 49ersParadise.com want to hear what you have to say about them. 1) The #49ers have made a concerted effort over the past few years to add former high draft picks who have underperformed since their rookie season. In this way, they can extend that year's draft to pick up more first round picks for a much lesser price (by trade this sometimes accounts to a 6th or 7th rounder, and in some cases the players are free agents). Do the 49ers believe they are better at developing talent than other organizations or are they just as enamoured by the measurables that had these players ranked so high coming into the draft? 2) The contract structure being offered this year tends to have more voidable years than we have seen in the past. This trend helps to play with the salary cap ... is the team mortgaging its future? We want to hear from you! |

This time, the 49ers came prepared to score a few touchdowns. The officiating continued to be awful, notwithstanding that, the game was tight in the first half, and the something clicked for the 49ers offense on the last drive of the half, and it was all over for Carolina. The defense played remarkably well, making two goal line stops, showing Carolina a formation with Brooks as the middle linebacker - something they had not put on film all season. Meanwhile, the offense depended on Boldin in key moments, but it was Davis and Kaepernick who scored the only touchdowns. The win put the 49ers in their third Conference Championship in as many years - a record for Head Coach Harbaugh who is only 3 years into his job. <Br><Br>Game Plan:<Br> OFFENSE: Score touchdowns. Protect the Ball. It sounds simple, but many of the 49ers drives have not ended in touchdowns. They need to score more than field goals to beat the NFC West foe. Also, this game may be decided by a single possession so maintaining control of the football is absolutely vital. Seattle has done a good job of forcing turnovers when the two teams meet. DEFENSE: Stop the run. Force turnovers. You can’t ignore the running game of Seattle. In fact, the 49ers will key in on stopping it. If they can do that, they may be able to press Russell Wilson into turning the ball over - and that could be the difference in this game. Rather than bend and not break, the 49ers defense has to suffocate Seattle. <Br><Br>Key Matchup:<Br> 49ers Secondary vs Russell Wilson If the 49ers key in on stopping the run game, as I suspect they will, it may expose the defensive backfield to Russell Wilson. The group has played well in recent weeks, but will need to step it up to beat the crafty Wilson. Wilson can make plays from anywhere on the field, and somehow makes his receivers look better than they are. 49ers vs The Officials: Boldin on whether Seattle gets away with holding penalties or not. <Br>Q: Did you feel in your previous games against the Seahawks, was there anymore or less called against them than other games you played this year? <Br>A: “If you get called for it, it’s holding. If not, it’s not holding. So, you just play football.” <Br><Br>Harbaugh-isms:<Br> <Br>A: “Well, there are tough things about communication in a loud stadium, on the road that the offense will strive to be very precise at. But tough, this is only for the tough. This kind of game, this kind of point in the season. And our guys are very happy about it. They’re very excited and very much looking forward to this being a lot of fun. This kind of game, I was thinking of the things I would trade to be able to compete as a player in these games, in this game. It’s pretty significant.” <Br>Q: What would you trade? <Br>A: “There’s a lot. There’s a lot.” <Br><Br>Harbaugh vs the Media:<Br> <Br>Q: That means do you need to come in and be physical right away? <Br>A: “No desire to talk about what our plan is.” <Br><Br>Quote Of The Week:<Br> We’ve been everywhere, man. (Singing) Been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto.” - Jim Harbaugh on the 49ers recent travels <Br><Br>Taking out the trash:<Br> “There’s no question there’s a lot of hostility between us, but at the end of the day, they’re another football team.” -- Patrick Willis on the 49ers vs Seahawks rivalry |

| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 10 January 2014, 9:00 am Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Packers Time (PST): Sunday 1:05 PM PST Injury Report: Jonathan Goodwin, Dan Skuta, Demarcus Dobbs, Frank Gore, Justin Smith, Michael Crabtree, Carlos Rogers, Navorro Bowman Recap: The 49ers beat Green Bay… but they should have put the nail in the coffin far earlier in the game. They had Green Bay suffocated by some terrific defense, but failed to put touchdowns on the board. Then, before you know it, the Packer found some room to breathe and were up 7-6. From that point on, it was a blow-by-blow game and the 49ers once again had to depend on the steady leg of Phil Dawson to win the game. The 49ers continue t have the Packer’s number in the Kaepernick era beating them first with Kap’s legs, then his arm, and then with a balanced approach. Game Plan: OFFENSE: Score touchdowns. In the first matchup vs the Panthers the 49ers failed to score a touchdown. They have some weapons back on offense this time around, but have struggled to score touchdowns in recent weeks as it is. To beat the Panthers the 49ers need to score serious points. DEFENSE: Contain Cam Newton. Newton is a very athletic quarterback, something the 49ers have struggled to pin down when they face them. The defense needs to contain him, and at the same time deliver a few knock out punches to rattle the Panthers in their first playoff game. The Panthers will need a quick start, coming off their bye week and given their inexperience. The 49ers can’t afford for that to happen. Key Matchup: Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin vs Panthers Secondary The 49ers need to prove they can score touchdowns, and that means passing to the receivers. Crabtree and Boldin have yet to be part of a game where they both have big games, and this would be an appropriate week for that kind of offense to pick up. 49ers vs The Officials: "I felt it was a hold and I thought I was going to get a flag, I guess they figured they would just let us play. So when when they make that decision, we just have to get off the blocks a little faster." -- Ray McDonald on the should-have-been-a-penalty when he was being held on Rogers 4th down conversion. Harbaugh-isms: Matt Maiocco explains some odd behaviour by coach Harbaugh as follows: QUOTE: Having gotten my explanation out of the way, I nudged him with my left elbow and said, “Hey, congratulations.” That’s when Harbaugh wrapped his right arm around my neck, pulled me tight and yelled -- I mean, YELLED -- “Thank you, Matt! I love you!” Then, Harbaugh saw Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee just a stride or two ahead of us and he continued. “I love you, too, Matt.” Harbaugh then planted a kiss firmly on Barrows’ bald head. END QUOTE Harbaugh vs the Media: Harbaugh: “I don’t know. What’s the matter with having two favorite teams? Is that a crime? [Santa Rosa Press Democrat columnist] Lowell [Cohn], is that a crime? Does it make you a bad person if you like—?” Cohn: “Apparently in Carolina it does, yeah.” Harbaugh: “My opinion would be that it doesn’t make you a bad person to have two favorite football teams.” Quote Of The Week: The media asked Kaepernick about his tackle last week: Q: It was pretty good. Did you like your form and how would you critique it? A: “No, he snuck me a little bit. I thought he was going to try and hit the sidelines, so he got under me a little bit. Wish I could have that back.” Taking out the trash: Former 49ers’ Long Snapper Brian Jennings rips into Cam Newton for his lack of Pro Bowl preparation: “We have Drew Brees with his playbook all week, studying. … We have Cam Newton with his head phones on all week goofing off. … We go into the game, and this guy is chucking the ball all over the place, and everybody is looking around going, ‘What’s this guy doing? Are you kidding?’ The punter and I look at each other and say, ‘We are going to have a long second half.’ We punted five times.” “He went in there and stank it up. He never looked at his playbook and he’s chucking the ball all over the place. He can’t hit the open guy.” |

A big passing game. A balanced approach today. The 49ers were on a mission this week, and they need to keep that rolling against the Panthers who held them to no touchdowns in a 10-9 loss earlier this season. That game is where all the focus will be as the 49ers will have the tough task to stop a team that may have more momentum than anyone in the NFL right now.

Bowman dominated the field, and Dawson - whose field goal streak came to a close early in the game, made two key kicks for the win. The real question… have the 49ers been playing it close to the vest all season to keep their opponents guessing, or are they really not firing on all cylinders? We should start to see the truth this weekend in the Wild Card matchup vs Greenbay. <Br><Br>Game Plan:<Br> OFFENSE: The 49ers need to dominate the line of scrimmage. We don’t know if the team will come out running, passing, or with a balanced attack. They have so far kept the Packers guessing. The weather lends itself to a heavy ground game, and that could get interesting between Kaepernick, Gore, Hunter, James and Dixon - the 49ers have what it takes to make that type of game interesting. DEFENSE: The 49ers have a big question at cornerback as Carlos Rogers and Eric Wright are battling hamstring injuries. The success of this defense will depend on whether the 49ers front can get enough pressure on the Packers that the cornerbacks are not exposed in coverage. Simple? only on paper. <Br><Br>Key Matchup:<Br> Jim Harbaugh/Greg Roman vs Dom Capers: So far Capers has been a few games behind what the 49ers do on the field against Green Bay. If the 49ers have the Packers as confused this weekend as in the past three games, this could be a walk-a-way victory. If not, expect a grudge match with the Packers seeking revenge. 49ers vs The Officials: Nothing to report <Br><Br>Harbaugh-isms:<Br> “I’m just boiling it down Barney-style for myself. And, we’ll take that approach and see if it works.” -- Harbaugh keeping football simple, especially on the road <Br><Br>Harbaugh vs the Media:<Br> <Br>Q: Stylistically, what’s the biggest difference? <Br>A: Stylistically, I don’t know any stylistically. <Br><Br>Quote Of The Week:<Br> “It was a great performance. Spectacular. And, there’s been many since.” -- Harbaguh on Boldin’s week 1 performance <Br><Br>Taking out the trash:<Br> “If we can do what we did the first game and eliminate the run game, and force him to pass, I think we have a better deal going on this time to be able to stop it,” Packers LB Mike Neal said. |
| PP | Should the NFL Eliminate the PAT? [Blitz] 2 January 2014, 9:20 am Courtesy of Bill Belicheater, PFT raises the idea of what to do about the PAT. The PAT was successful 99.6% of the time this year. There isn't really any challenge to that. It seems like the most boring play in all of sports. Almost meaningless b/c it's so automatic. The PAT was put into football at a time when there were no "specialists", no PK, no LS, etc, but rather regular position players had to do the kicking and snapping, and holding. Back then, the PAT was much less automatic. So, in light of the ridiculously high success rate of the PAT, PFT raises some very interesting options abo... Read More | 7 comments | Write Comment |

| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 12 December 2013, 9:16 am Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Buccaneers Time (PST): Sunday 1:25 PM PST Injury Report: Frank Gore, Joe Staley, Mike Iupati, Dan Skuta, Craig Dahl, Justin Smith, Tarell Brown, Michael Crabtree, Vance McDonald, Mario Manningham, Ray McDonald, Adam Snyder, Aldon Smith Recap: In an epic battle, the 49ers toughened up and fought for a victory over the Seahawks. It took everything the 49ers had to beat Seattle - but the 49ers walked away with victory thanks to Frank Gore’s longest run of the season. Special Teams highlighted the day with Dawson’s great kicking, some amazing coverage, and a blocked punt. Kaepernick played good enough, the defense played lights out, and there began the makings of a statement. This team may come together just in time. Game Plan: OFFENSE: This continues to be quite simple. Own the line of scrimmage. Get the passing game going. It should be a unique challenge facing the Bucs who have a pretty good secondary. I would love to see the Niners test their depth by going to 3 and 4 WRs with some regularity. DEFENSE: I suspect the 49ers will play their traditional game. The Bucs offense is not something to be truly scared of, so the team just needs to play its game and not sit back and wait for the Bucs to take it to the. On both sides of the ball really, the Niners need to make sure their heads are in the game after a very big game last week. Key Matchup: Dashon Goldson will be seeking revenge as he roams the defensive backfield. Kaepernick needs to be accurate with the ball - something he hasn’t done all that well this season, and the receivers need to protect themselves - especially when going over the middle. That collision between Vernon Davis and Dashon Goldson we have all been waiting to see? Well, you can bet the two will bang into each other in a big way at some point this week. 49ers vs The Officials: “It does. That you could benefit from a foul, I don’t think anybody wants that. So, the solution possibly is you treat it like the ball was kicked. Kicking and batting would be the same. It would be a loss of down. But, that’s for the Competition Committee to decide.” -- Harbaugh on the batting of a ball penalty after a blocked punt Harbaugh-isms: "I suppose Abraham Lincoln riding across the field with a frock (coat) and a top hat, riding a horse, waving an American flag -- I doubt that would fire them up if this game doesn't fire them up.” -- Habaugh on how big the 49ers vs Seahawks Rivalry is Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: “So, when do you leave for Austin, Texas?” A: “Are you trying to be funny?” Q: “Trying.” Quote Of The Week: “He doesn’t need to prepare for press conferences and come up with a routine like Jay Leno. It’s not his job to come out for 15 minutes and do a monologue. He’s got a lot of things to study for his job. That’s what he needs to do – his job.” -- Harbuagh on the way Kaepernick handles the media Taking out the trash: “If we make eye contact, I’ll acknowledge him out of respect,” -- Anthony Davis on his for coach who he faces this week. |
| PP | 2013 NFL Officiating - An Official Disaster [Blitz] 10 December 2013, 11:30 am Usually, when we see a poor call, a noncall on pass interference, a questionable holding penalty, or the refs in the playoffs letting teams get away with murder because "it's the playoffs", the league stands by the ref, refuses to admit error and says it was a judgment call. That may be about to change. The NFL may actually be admitting the poor state of officiating this season—and it is evidenced by a phone call. Vikings Head Coach, Leslie Frazier, was apparently contacted by the league office, specifically to get his thoughts on the officiating during his game. The calls in that...

I suppose the place to start in this weeks write up is the overall physical play of the 49ers. I actually don’t recall them playing 4 quarters at this physical a level, and for that matter matching the Seahawks physical style of play for the entire game. Yes, the Seahawks continued to mug and cheat and make tons of illegal-non-called plays … but the 49ers matched the physical play, and for the most part did so legally (when they were over the line of course the 49ers were flagged).

| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 5 December 2013, 5:00 pm Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Seahawks Time (PST): Sunday 1:25 PM PST Injury Report: Navorro Bowman, Justin Smith, Mario Manningham, Frank Gore, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Garrett Celek, Dan Skuta, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald Recap: The 49ers were playing to keep hold of a playoff spot and in doing so they systematically controlled the game. Even at that there was plenty of room to improve against the Rams. The run game continued to struggle, and despite some big efforts by Boldin and Davis, there was very little involvement of Crabtree or Manningham. The defense on the other hand played lights out, and special teams were on fire - with the exception of a muffed punt by LaMichael James. Game Plan: OFFENSE: Just like last time, the Niners need to control the line of scrimmage and get the ball to their receivers. The Hawks do an incredible job of holding receivers and getting away with it. The 49ers need to finally impose their will on offense. DEFENSE: Containing Russell Wilson and forcing him to make a decision in 3 seconds is key. The 49ers will rely on their front 4 to get a rush on Wilson and set the edge. This is far easier said than done, but having the defensive front that the 49ers do, if any team can slow down the Rams it will be the Niners. Key Matchup: Michael Crabtree vs the Seahawks defensive backfield. Earlier in the season the Hawks showed they can control Davis and Boldin. The 49ers need to get the Hawks to double up one of their receivers, and that means Crabtree has to be so physical off the line the Hawks are left with no choice. If he can be effective early it should open up the other receiving threats, including Maningham under neath. 49ers vs The Officials: nothing to report Harbaugh-isms: "I suppose Abraham Lincoln riding across the field with a frock (coat) and a top hat, riding a horse, waving an American flag -- I doubt that would fire them up if this game doesn't fire them up.” -- Habaugh on how big the 49ers vs Seahawks Rivalry is Harbaugh vs the Media: Normally I reserve this spot for Harbaugh, but Kaepernick’s sparring with the media deserves some attention: Q: “That was the first smile I’ve seen with all the media around you in a long time. Do you not like this, you’re so guarded it seems. Would you just like to cut loose sometimes and speak more extemporaneously or just let it all fly?” A: “Well, I signed a contract to play football. The media is just something I have the obligation to do.” Quote Of The Week: "We're so excited to have him back. You don't know what you're going to get. Get your popcorn and get ready for the show, because with him there, it's going to be pretty exciting with all the guys that we have.” -- Vernon Davis on the return of Crabtree Taking out the trash: "It might be the most intense game this season, because those guys don't like us, and we don't like them," -- Vernon Davis on playing the division rival Seahawks |

| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 29 November 2013, 6:19 am Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Rams Time (PST): Sunday 1 PM PST Injury Report: Navorro Bowman, Justin Smith, Mario Manningham, Frank Gore, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Garrett Celek, Dan Skuta, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald Recap: The 49ers were in a must win scenario on Monday night, half a game back of the Arizona Cardinals for the last playoff spot. They beat a very bad Redskins team, and only looked “ok” doing so. Kaepernick through for 3 touchdowns, as the 49ers passing attack started to come alive. The running game was non-existent playing against 8 and 9 fronts just as the prior two weeks. The 49ers got a lift on special teams from LaMichael James, and Phil Dawson continued to be money as a place kicker. Finally the defensive front unloaded 6 sacks, 2 each by Aldon Smith, Justin Smith and Ahmad Brooks. Game Plan: OFFENSE: Counter punch. If the Rams are in run protect all game, the 49ers need to let the passing game explode, stretching the field wide and far. If the Rams try and protect with cover 2, expect Gore to eat them alive. DEFENSE: The 49ers will be tested in the middle of the field, both against the run and the pass. The team must hold its containment while still getting their pass rush on. Key Matchup: Michael Crabtree vs the Rams defensive backfield. Nothing would ignite the 49ers offense more than an early big touchdown pass to Crabtree. I expect the Rams to be ready for Crabtree to be a big part of the game plan, whether he is or not will remain to be seen. Crabtree may not even have to catch a pass to loosen up the Rams defense. 49ers vs The Officials: “When defensive penalties happen, they should review them, it’s a call that goes up in the air.” - Brooks on the need to review defensive penalties to avoid bad calls like the sack on Brees two weeks ago. Harbaugh-isms: "Well, I mean, nobody knows what the rear is right now, as it stands now. But, it's definitely a strong division." -- Harbaugh on the strength of the NFC West Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: “I'm asking this because you have a fair share of adversity this year unlike your first two seasons here, but have you had to invoke Freddy P. Soft this year?” A: "No. Not that I can recall. The fellas have been preparing great every week. And, that's where it starts. That's where we're at today. And, we're looking for a good day today." Quote Of The Week: “Really, getting started early. I recognize when I’m able to make a lot of plays, not just during the week in preparing, but when that game’s starting, feeling what the team’s trying to do. In this league, if something successful happens on one play, they’re going to come back to that play, so you try not to let it happen a second time. Just me playing a full 60 minute game and letting the game come to me.” - Navorro Bowman on his favorite part of football. Taking out the trash: NOthing to report |

| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 22 November 2013, 6:38 am Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Redskins Time (PST): Monday 8:40 PM Injury Report: Garrett Celek, Ray McDonald, Dan Skuta, Colin Kaepernick, Mario Manningham, Quinton Dial, Tarell Brown, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Justin Smith, Frank Gore Recap: It may have been a penalty away from icing the game, but the 49ers did not deserve to win for the second straight week. The offense came to a pitter-pattering halt for the second straight week, as the Saints consumed the run by stacking the box and daring Kaepernick to throw. Receivers were open, and Kaepernick got a bit more protection from his line than last week (though that is not saying much) yet the offense could not capitalize at all. The 49ers play a woeful but desperate team this week, and if they can’t break out the offense this week, than it may really, really, be time to call for changes. Game Plan: OFFENSE: It sounds simple, but score points. Don’t worry about establishing the run. Come out and throw the ball. Spread the offense out so Kaepernick can see the field, and throw the ball. Can they execute? DEFENSE: The 49ers have struggled to stop the run up the middle of the field and have not been able to get to the quarterback. That is what the team needs to make happen if they want to send a message to the NFL. Key Matchup: Colin Kaepernick vs the Redskins Defense. 1 versus many. Kaepernick needs to prove to his team and the entire NFL that he can pick a defense apart. Otherwise the Niners may as well pack it in now. Even though the turnaround may come against an awful team, the momentum is needed to start righting this ship. Harbaugh setting up the officials: Q: Can you maybe elaborate why you think it’s a bad call? A: “I said it’s the official’s call to make. I’m going to see it with my eyes and I’m explaining that maybe that’s because it’s through my eyes, my perspective, our perspective of this team. So, possibly that could explain.” Harbaugh-isms: Q: You went through a similar line of questioning earlier this year with S Donte Whitner with a hit in the end zone. Does it seem like anytime there is a big hit, a violent hit, no matter whether it’s legal or illegal, it’s going to get called at this point in the stage of the NFL? A: “Well, I mean, this isn’t NASCAR. This isn’t where the drivers and the owners after the game or the race get up there and start throwing punches at each other and questioning every call and everybody’s in everybody’s face heated, etcetera. Or the next day, talking about how the points went. We can’t argue that. And you know that. You know I can’t stand up here and make these comments. So, that’s two different worlds. There’s NASCAR and there’s professional football. So, it’s not our place as coaches to talk about that.” Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: “Yesterday, RB Frank Gore mentioned the last two opponents have had good defensive schemes. You kind of alluded to, I think Monday, the last two opponents have attacked you very differently as far as from a defensive standpoint. Is that, with all due respect, have you guys been out-schemed?” A: "No. I wouldn't say that." Quote Of The Week: "This is the most embarrassing call in the NFL since the tuck rule." -- Ray Lewis on the Brooks hit / penalty versus the Saints. Lewis also offered to fund have any fine that comes from that hit Taking out the trash: “I know Monday night, Washington is going to be pumped, and we’re trying to get back on track to where we want to be, and that’s the playoffs,” -- Frank Gore on trying to right the ship against Washington |

| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 15 November 2013, 8:31 pm Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Saints Time (PST): Sunday Nov 17th, 4:25 PST Injury Report: Justin Smith, Garrett Celek, Mario Manningham, Quinton Dial, Frank Gore, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald, Mike Iupati, Bruce Miller, Eric Reid, Andy Lee, Dan Skuta, Vernon Davis, Quinton Patton Recap: The 49ers loss to Carolina was scary for a few reasons. First, it was at home. Second, it basically eliminated their chance of winning the NFC West. Third, it revealed a lack of creativity on offense. Fourth it showed just how easy it can be to get to Kaepernick. Fifth, the 49ers got banged up. Really, really, really banged up. Vernon Davis and Eric Reid are set to return despite two concussions in the past year, but Ray MacDonald is out, Manningham is questionable and there are many others on a growing injury list. Game Plan: OFFENSE: The 49ers need to show they can sling the ball, be creative on offense, and still get Frank Gore the touches that he needs to take over a game. This game is going to come down to controlling the line of scrimmage to allow Kaepernick to do his thing - and that might sound easy on paper, but it really, really is not. DEFENSE: The 49ers defense really just needs to keep doing what they have been doing all year. Really, that means keeping the opposition out of the endzone. That will be a very difficult task against the Saints who have proven - as recently as last week to have all the firepower they need. How will the Niners adjust to bringing Aldon Smith back? To playing without Ray Mac? Or to a safety in Eric Reid who may be a bit more timid? Key Matchup: Greg Roman vs the Saints the Defense The 49ers coaching staff have been able to skirt bye for too long now. They got an easy pass because they turned this team around… perhaps with some suboptimal situations. Now is the time that the 49ers coaching staff -specifically Greg Roman needs to prove it can be creative and get the offense rolling up yards and points and dictating the terms of the game. Is Roman up to that task? Harbaugh setting up the officials: Nothing to report Harbaugh-isms: "Schemes are ever-evolving. Yes, we've seen new schemes." -- Harbaugh on the changing nature of the Saints Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: Not to rake him over the coals, but is that something that a young quarterback is always working on, always improving upon? That seems to be one of the toughest parts about playing quarterback is that something that naturally a young guy has to continue to get better at. A: “I understand. I understand what you’re doing, what you’re trying to do and glomming onto somebody’s opinion, but I think it’s whatever they think. The main thing is that we’ll look at it and talk about it with our players and see the areas that we can improve. Just dissecting it as a unit, we had too many negative plays in te game, too many negative plays, loss of yardage plays, penalties, sack, turnover, that we’ve got to get better at. We didn’t do a good enough job. Quote Of The Week: "We didn't play championship football offensively this week." -- Harbaugh on the 49ers loss to Carolina Taking out the trash: “We’ll be ready,” Gore said in reference to what the Saints may throw the 49ers way. |

[Extra Point] 10 March 2014, 12:03 pm Wide receiver Anquan Boldin’s contract will count just $2.364 million against the 49ers’ 2014 salary cap, a source told CSNBayArea.com on Monday. Boldin actually signed a five-year contract through the 2018 season, but the deal voids to the widely reported… Read The Extra Point |

In the past two years, they’ve signed a slam-dunk, first-ballot Hall of Fame wide receiver, a two-time 1,000-yard running back and a three-time Pro Bowl cornerback. The more accurate statement:… Read The Extra Point |

| PP | Kaepernick giveth. Kaepernick taketh away... [Blitz] 30 January 2014, 2:10 pm After mulling over this game for more than a week, I’m finally ready to share some thoughts on the NFC Championship Game, the offense, Roman and Kaepernick. I’m not looking forward to the next four months of endless draft and free agency discussions, so I hope you’re all ready to spend some more time on these topics too. Overall, I think it’s pretty remarkable how little it has been discussed how the 49ers offense handled the crowd noise this time around. Seattle had more false start penalties than the niners. By my count, we had only one delay of game penalty. We had three time ou... Read More | 16 comments | Write Comment |
| PP | The End Of A Season, The End Of Hopes and Dreams... [Blitz] 19 January 2014, 9:31 pm The 49ers did everything they could to lose that game. They also did everything they could to keep teasing me into thinking they would pull it off at the end. Losing sucks. Losing to Seattle sucks more. Losing Bowman the way we did makes it even worse. I hope to all heck he comes back stronger. My thoughts and prayers are with him… as I now begin to cheer for the Broncos. I am cheering for them not because I like them but because I despite the Seahawks. I despise them even more since hearing Sherman’s multiple post game interviews. If there is one saving grace to this loss, it i... Read More | 1 comment | Write Comment |
| PP | 49ers Advanced To 3rd Straight Title Game... [Blitz] 12 January 2014, 7:23 pm Jim Harbaugh is the first head coach to go to a Division Championship game in each of his first 3 seasons. More impressive? He took a team (that was admittedly loaded with talent) that had not had a winning season in an eternity, and turned it around. Now the 49ers move on to Seattle, where they have not one in an eon, for a chance to go to their 2nd consecutive Super Bowl. This game was very tight heading into the half, when the 49ers seemed to finally figure out how to attack the Panthers. They put together a touchdown drive that shifted momentum into their favor. The defens... Read More | 19 comments | Write Comment |
| PP | Kaepernick is the Packer Slayer. [Blitz] 5 January 2014, 9:05 pm Colin Kaepernick is the Packer Slayer. 3 Straight wins, and each one in a different fashion. A big run game. A big passing game. A balanced approach today. The 49ers were on a mission this week, and they need to keep that rolling against the Panthers who held them to no touchdowns in a 10-9 loss earlier this season. That game is where all the focus will be as the 49ers will have the tough task to stop a team that may have more momentum than anyone in the NFL right now. The GOOD: - Playoff wins are hard to come by. They are harder to come by on the road. The coaching sta... Read More | 7 comments | Write Comment |
| PP | Should the NFL Eliminate the PAT? [Blitz] 2 January 2014, 9:20 am Courtesy of Bill Belicheater, PFT raises the idea of what to do about the PAT. The PAT was successful 99.6% of the time this year. There isn't really any challenge to that. It seems like the most boring play in all of sports. Almost meaningless b/c it's so automatic. The PAT was put into football at a time when there were no "specialists", no PK, no LS, etc, but rather regular position players had to do the kicking and snapping, and holding. Back then, the PAT was much less automatic. So, in light of the ridiculously high success rate of the PAT, PFT raises some very interesting options abo... Read More | 7 comments | Write Comment |
| PP | 49ers at Geen Bay... [Blitz] 29 December 2013, 9:06 pm 49ers facing the Packers Sunday afternoon at 1:40 p.m. PT. Full week of rest plus they get to play during the day time, when it will be nice and warm .The 49ers are pretty good on the road since JH has been the HC,so that is a huge plus. But I still feel that Kap doesn't like the cold/poor weather games and has trouble in such games. I hope that doesn't hold true next week ! Another bad thing besides the cold and not getting a home game when we have a vastly superior record is that Rodgers is back and he has his top receiver in Cobb back now too.

Dawson was money, and Hunter scored a touchdown on an attempted reverse on a run back - Celek was back and contributing - Kaepernick once again extended plays, and made throws and runs that no other quarterback in the league has a chance to make - Vernon Davis made a tremendous touchdown cat...

| PP | 2013 NFL Officiating - An Official Disaster... [Blitz] 10 December 2013, 11:30 am Usually, when we see a poor call, a noncall on pass interference, a questionable holding penalty, or the refs in the playoffs letting teams get away with murder because "it's the playoffs", the league stands by the ref, refuses to admit error and says it was a judgment call. That may be about to change. The NFL may actually be admitting the poor state of officiating this season—and it is evidenced by a phone call. Vikings Head Coach, Leslie Frazier, was apparently contacted by the league office, specifically to get his thoughts on the officiating during his game. The calls in that...

I suppose the place to start in this weeks write up is the overall physical play of the 49ers. I actually don’t recall them playing 4 quarters at this physical a level, and for that matter matching the Seahawks physical style of play for the entire game. Yes, the Seahawks continued to mug and cheat and make tons of illegal-non-called plays … but the 49ers matched the physical play, and for the most part did so legally (when they were over the line of course the 49ers were flagged). The officiating... Read More | 34 comments | Write Comment |

| G+ | +San Francisco 49ers fans everywhere may be catching on to two of Trent Baalke's 14 March 2014, 6:41 am +San Francisco 49ers fans everywhere may be catching on to two of Trent Baalke's favorite offseason tactics this year. We at 49ersParadise.com want to hear what you have to say about them. 1) The #49ers have made a concerted effort over the past few years to add former high draft picks who have underperformed since their rookie season. In this way, they can extend that year's draft to pick up more first round picks for a much lesser price (by trade this sometimes accounts to a 6th or 7th rounder, and in some cases the players are free agents). Do the 49ers believe they are better at developing talent than other organizations or are they just as enamoured by the measurables that had these players ranked so high coming into the draft? 2) The contract structure being offered this year tends to have more voidable years than we have seen in the past. This trend helps to play with the salary cap ... is the team mortgaging its future? We want to hear from you! |
| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets<BR> In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise 16 January 2014, 11:17 am Weekly Golden Nuggets<BR> In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. <Br><Br>Opponent: vs Seahawks <Br><Br>Time (PST): Sunday 3:30 PM PST <Br><Br>Injury Report:<Br> Navorro Bowman, Ahmad Brooks, Michael Crabtree, Demarcus Dobbs, Jonathan Goodwin, Frank Gore, Carlos Rogers, Dan Skuta, Justin Smith, Will Tukuafu <Br><Br>Recap:<Br> The 49ers beat Carolina in a rematch from earlier in the season. This time, the 49ers came prepared to score a few touchdowns. The officiating continued to be awful, notwithstanding that, the game was tight in the first half, and the something clicked for the 49ers offense on the last drive of the half, and it was all over for Carolina. The defense played remarkably well, making two goal line stops, showing Carolina a formation with Brooks as the middle linebacker - something they had not put on film all season. Meanwhile, the offense depended on Boldin in key moments, but it was Davis and Kaepernick who scored the only touchdowns. The win put the 49ers in their third Conference Championship in as many years - a record for Head Coach Harbaugh who is only 3 years into his job. <Br><Br>Game Plan:<Br> OFFENSE: Score touchdowns. Protect the Ball. It sounds simple, but many of the 49ers drives have not ended in touchdowns. They need to score more than field goals to beat the NFC West foe. Also, this game may be decided by a single possession so maintaining control of the football is absolutely vital. Seattle has done a good job of forcing turnovers when the two teams meet. DEFENSE: Stop the run. Force turnovers. You can’t ignore the running game of Seattle. In fact, the 49ers will key in on stopping it. If they can do that, they may be able to press Russell Wilson into turning the ball over - and that could be the difference in this game. Rather than bend and not break, the 49ers defense has to suffocate Seattle. <Br><Br>Key Matchup:<Br> 49ers Secondary vs Russell Wilson If the 49ers key in on stopping the run game, as I suspect they will, it may expose the defensive backfield to Russell Wilson. The group has played well in recent weeks, but will need to step it up to beat the crafty Wilson. Wilson can make plays from anywhere on the field, and somehow makes his receivers look better than they are. 49ers vs The Officials: Boldin on whether Seattle gets away with holding penalties or not. <Br>Q: Did you feel in your previous games against the Seahawks, was there anymore or less called against them than other games you played this year? <Br>A: “If you get called for it, it’s holding. If not, it’s not holding. So, you just play football.” <Br><Br>Harbaugh-isms:<Br> <Br>A: “Well, there are tough things about communication in a loud stadium, on the road that the offense will strive to be very precise at. But tough, this is only for the tough. This kind of game, this kind of point in the season. And our guys are very happy about it. They’re very excited and very much looking forward to this being a lot of fun. This kind of game, I was thinking of the things I would trade to be able to compete as a player in these games, in this game. It’s pretty significant.” <Br>Q: What would you trade? <Br>A: “There’s a lot. There’s a lot.” <Br><Br>Harbaugh vs the Media:<Br> <Br>Q: That means do you need to come in and be physical right away? <Br>A: “No desire to talk about what our plan is.” <Br><Br>Quote Of The Week:<Br> We’ve been everywhere, man. (Singing) Been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto.” - Jim Harbaugh on the 49ers recent travels <Br><Br>Taking out the trash:<Br> “There’s no question there’s a lot of hostility between us, but at the end of the day, they’re another football team.” -- Patrick Willis on the 49ers vs Seahawks rivalry |
| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 10 January 2014, 9:00 am Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Packers Time (PST): Sunday 1:05 PM PST Injury Report: Jonathan Goodwin, Dan Skuta, Demarcus Dobbs, Frank Gore, Justin Smith, Michael Crabtree, Carlos Rogers, Navorro Bowman Recap: The 49ers beat Green Bay… but they should have put the nail in the coffin far earlier in the game. They had Green Bay suffocated by some terrific defense, but failed to put touchdowns on the board. Then, before you know it, the Packer found some room to breathe and were up 7-6. From that point on, it was a blow-by-blow game and the 49ers once again had to depend on the steady leg of Phil Dawson to win the game. The 49ers continue t have the Packer’s number in the Kaepernick era beating them first with Kap’s legs, then his arm, and then with a balanced approach. Game Plan: OFFENSE: Score touchdowns. In the first matchup vs the Panthers the 49ers failed to score a touchdown. They have some weapons back on offense this time around, but have struggled to score touchdowns in recent weeks as it is. To beat the Panthers the 49ers need to score serious points. DEFENSE: Contain Cam Newton. Newton is a very athletic quarterback, something the 49ers have struggled to pin down when they face them. The defense needs to contain him, and at the same time deliver a few knock out punches to rattle the Panthers in their first playoff game. The Panthers will need a quick start, coming off their bye week and given their inexperience. The 49ers can’t afford for that to happen. Key Matchup: Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin vs Panthers Secondary The 49ers need to prove they can score touchdowns, and that means passing to the receivers. Crabtree and Boldin have yet to be part of a game where they both have big games, and this would be an appropriate week for that kind of offense to pick up. 49ers vs The Officials: "I felt it was a hold and I thought I was going to get a flag, I guess they figured they would just let us play. So when when they make that decision, we just have to get off the blocks a little faster." -- Ray McDonald on the should-have-been-a-penalty when he was being held on Rogers 4th down conversion. Harbaugh-isms: Matt Maiocco explains some odd behaviour by coach Harbaugh as follows: QUOTE: Having gotten my explanation out of the way, I nudged him with my left elbow and said, “Hey, congratulations.” That’s when Harbaugh wrapped his right arm around my neck, pulled me tight and yelled -- I mean, YELLED -- “Thank you, Matt! I love you!” Then, Harbaugh saw Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee just a stride or two ahead of us and he continued. “I love you, too, Matt.” Harbaugh then planted a kiss firmly on Barrows’ bald head. END QUOTE Harbaugh vs the Media: Harbaugh: “I don’t know. What’s the matter with having two favorite teams? Is that a crime? [Santa Rosa Press Democrat columnist] Lowell [Cohn], is that a crime? Does it make you a bad person if you like—?” Cohn: “Apparently in Carolina it does, yeah.” Harbaugh: “My opinion would be that it doesn’t make you a bad person to have two favorite football teams.” Quote Of The Week: The media asked Kaepernick about his tackle last week: Q: It was pretty good. Did you like your form and how would you critique it? A: “No, he snuck me a little bit. I thought he was going to try and hit the sidelines, so he got under me a little bit. Wish I could have that back.” Taking out the trash: Former 49ers’ Long Snapper Brian Jennings rips into Cam Newton for his lack of Pro Bowl preparation: “We have Drew Brees with his playbook all week, studying. … We have Cam Newton with his head phones on all week goofing off. … We go into the game, and this guy is chucking the ball all over the place, and everybody is looking around going, ‘What’s this guy doing? Are you kidding?’ The punter and I look at each other and say, ‘We are going to have a long second half.’ We punted five times.” “He went in there and stank it up. He never looked at his playbook and he’s chucking the ball all over the place. He can’t hit the open guy.” |
| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets<BR> In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise 3 January 2014, 9:33 pm Weekly Golden Nuggets<BR> In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. <Br><Br>Opponent: vs Packers <Br><Br>Time (PST): Sunday 1:40 PM PST <Br><Br>Injury Report:<Br> CB Carlos Rogers (hamstring), LB Dan Skuta (foot), CB Eric Wright (hamstring), WR Jon Baldwin (illness), LB Navorro Bowman (wrist), CB Tarell Brown (ribs), C Jonathan Goodwin (not injury related), RB Frank Gore (knee), G Mike Iupati (knee), DT Justin Smith (shoulder). <Br><Br>Recap:<Br> It was an odd game, after jumping up 17-0 and dominating the first quarter, the 49ers went to sleep. Bowman dominated the field, and Dawson - whose field goal streak came to a close early in the game, made two key kicks for the win. The real question… have the 49ers been playing it close to the vest all season to keep their opponents guessing, or are they really not firing on all cylinders? We should start to see the truth this weekend in the Wild Card matchup vs Greenbay. <Br><Br>Game Plan:<Br> OFFENSE: The 49ers need to dominate the line of scrimmage. We don’t know if the team will come out running, passing, or with a balanced attack. They have so far kept the Packers guessing. The weather lends itself to a heavy ground game, and that could get interesting between Kaepernick, Gore, Hunter, James and Dixon - the 49ers have what it takes to make that type of game interesting. DEFENSE: The 49ers have a big question at cornerback as Carlos Rogers and Eric Wright are battling hamstring injuries. The success of this defense will depend on whether the 49ers front can get enough pressure on the Packers that the cornerbacks are not exposed in coverage. Simple? only on paper. <Br><Br>Key Matchup:<Br> Jim Harbaugh/Greg Roman vs Dom Capers: So far Capers has been a few games behind what the 49ers do on the field against Green Bay. If the 49ers have the Packers as confused this weekend as in the past three games, this could be a walk-a-way victory. If not, expect a grudge match with the Packers seeking revenge. 49ers vs The Officials: Nothing to report <Br><Br>Harbaugh-isms:<Br> “I’m just boiling it down Barney-style for myself. And, we’ll take that approach and see if it works.” -- Harbaugh keeping football simple, especially on the road <Br><Br>Harbaugh vs the Media:<Br> <Br>Q: Stylistically, what’s the biggest difference? <Br>A: Stylistically, I don’t know any stylistically. <Br><Br>Quote Of The Week:<Br> “It was a great performance. Spectacular. And, there’s been many since.” -- Harbaguh on Boldin’s week 1 performance <Br><Br>Taking out the trash:<Br> “If we can do what we did the first game and eliminate the run game, and force him to pass, I think we have a better deal going on this time to be able to stop it,” Packers LB Mike Neal said. |

Opponent: vs Buccaneers Time (PST): Sunday 1:25 PM PST Injury Report: Frank Gore, Joe Staley, Mike Iupati, Dan Skuta, Craig Dahl, Justin Smith, Tarell Brown, Michael Crabtree, Vance McDonald, Mario Manningham, Ray McDonald, Adam Snyder, Aldon Smith Recap: In an epic battle, the 49ers toughened up and fought for a victory over the Seahawks. It took everything the 49ers had to beat Seattle - but the 49ers walked away with victory thanks to Frank Gore’s longest run of the season. Special Teams highlighted the day with Dawson’s great kicking, some amazing coverage, and a blocked punt. Kaepernick played good enough, the defense played lights out, and there began the makings of a statement. This team may come together just in time. Game Plan: OFFENSE: This continues to be quite simple. Own the line of scrimmage. Get the passing game going. It should be a unique challenge facing the Bucs who have a pretty good secondary. I would love to see the Niners test their depth by going to 3 and 4 WRs with some regularity. DEFENSE: I suspect the 49ers will play their traditional game. The Bucs offense is not something to be truly scared of, so the team just needs to play its game and not sit back and wait for the Bucs to take it to the. On both sides of the ball really, the Niners need to make sure their heads are in the game after a very big game last week. Key Matchup: Dashon Goldson will be seeking revenge as he roams the defensive backfield. Kaepernick needs to be accurate with the ball - something he hasn’t done all that well this season, and the receivers need to protect themselves - especially when going over the middle. That collision between Vernon Davis and Dashon Goldson we have all been waiting to see? Well, you can bet the two will bang into each other in a big way at some point this week. 49ers vs The Officials: “It does. That you could benefit from a foul, I don’t think anybody wants that. So, the solution possibly is you treat it like the ball was kicked. Kicking and batting would be the same. It would be a loss of down. But, that’s for the Competition Committee to decide.” -- Harbaugh on the batting of a ball penalty after a blocked punt Harbaugh-isms: "I suppose Abraham Lincoln riding across the field with a frock (coat) and a top hat, riding a horse, waving an American flag -- I doubt that would fire them up if this game doesn't fire them up.” -- Habaugh on how big the 49ers vs Seahawks Rivalry is Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: “So, when do you leave for Austin, Texas?” A: “Are you trying to be funny?” Q: “Trying.” Quote Of The Week: “He doesn’t need to prepare for press conferences and come up with a routine like Jay Leno. It’s not his job to come out for 15 minutes and do a monologue. He’s got a lot of things to study for his job. That’s what he needs to do – his job.” -- Harbuagh on the way Kaepernick handles the media Taking out the trash: “If we make eye contact, I’ll acknowledge him out of respect,” -- Anthony Davis on his for coach who he faces this week. |
| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 5 December 2013, 5:00 pm Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Seahawks Time (PST): Sunday 1:25 PM PST Injury Report: Navorro Bowman, Justin Smith, Mario Manningham, Frank Gore, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Garrett Celek, Dan Skuta, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald Recap: The 49ers were playing to keep hold of a playoff spot and in doing so they systematically controlled the game. Even at that there was plenty of room to improve against the Rams. The run game continued to struggle, and despite some big efforts by Boldin and Davis, there was very little involvement of Crabtree or Manningham. The defense on the other hand played lights out, and special teams were on fire - with the exception of a muffed punt by LaMichael James. Game Plan: OFFENSE: Just like last time, the Niners need to control the line of scrimmage and get the ball to their receivers. The Hawks do an incredible job of holding receivers and getting away with it. The 49ers need to finally impose their will on offense. DEFENSE: Containing Russell Wilson and forcing him to make a decision in 3 seconds is key. The 49ers will rely on their front 4 to get a rush on Wilson and set the edge. This is far easier said than done, but having the defensive front that the 49ers do, if any team can slow down the Rams it will be the Niners. Key Matchup: Michael Crabtree vs the Seahawks defensive backfield. Earlier in the season the Hawks showed they can control Davis and Boldin. The 49ers need to get the Hawks to double up one of their receivers, and that means Crabtree has to be so physical off the line the Hawks are left with no choice. If he can be effective early it should open up the other receiving threats, including Maningham under neath. 49ers vs The Officials: nothing to report Harbaugh-isms: "I suppose Abraham Lincoln riding across the field with a frock (coat) and a top hat, riding a horse, waving an American flag -- I doubt that would fire them up if this game doesn't fire them up.” -- Habaugh on how big the 49ers vs Seahawks Rivalry is Harbaugh vs the Media: Normally I reserve this spot for Harbaugh, but Kaepernick’s sparring with the media deserves some attention: Q: “That was the first smile I’ve seen with all the media around you in a long time. Do you not like this, you’re so guarded it seems. Would you just like to cut loose sometimes and speak more extemporaneously or just let it all fly?” A: “Well, I signed a contract to play football. The media is just something I have the obligation to do.” Quote Of The Week: "We're so excited to have him back. You don't know what you're going to get. Get your popcorn and get ready for the show, because with him there, it's going to be pretty exciting with all the guys that we have.” -- Vernon Davis on the return of Crabtree Taking out the trash: "It might be the most intense game this season, because those guys don't like us, and we don't like them," -- Vernon Davis on playing the division rival Seahawks |
| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 29 November 2013, 6:19 am Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Rams Time (PST): Sunday 1 PM PST Injury Report: Navorro Bowman, Justin Smith, Mario Manningham, Frank Gore, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Garrett Celek, Dan Skuta, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald Recap: The 49ers were in a must win scenario on Monday night, half a game back of the Arizona Cardinals for the last playoff spot. They beat a very bad Redskins team, and only looked “ok” doing so. Kaepernick through for 3 touchdowns, as the 49ers passing attack started to come alive. The running game was non-existent playing against 8 and 9 fronts just as the prior two weeks. The 49ers got a lift on special teams from LaMichael James, and Phil Dawson continued to be money as a place kicker. Finally the defensive front unloaded 6 sacks, 2 each by Aldon Smith, Justin Smith and Ahmad Brooks. Game Plan: OFFENSE: Counter punch. If the Rams are in run protect all game, the 49ers need to let the passing game explode, stretching the field wide and far. If the Rams try and protect with cover 2, expect Gore to eat them alive. DEFENSE: The 49ers will be tested in the middle of the field, both against the run and the pass. The team must hold its containment while still getting their pass rush on. Key Matchup: Michael Crabtree vs the Rams defensive backfield. Nothing would ignite the 49ers offense more than an early big touchdown pass to Crabtree. I expect the Rams to be ready for Crabtree to be a big part of the game plan, whether he is or not will remain to be seen. Crabtree may not even have to catch a pass to loosen up the Rams defense. 49ers vs The Officials: “When defensive penalties happen, they should review them, it’s a call that goes up in the air.” - Brooks on the need to review defensive penalties to avoid bad calls like the sack on Brees two weeks ago. Harbaugh-isms: "Well, I mean, nobody knows what the rear is right now, as it stands now. But, it's definitely a strong division." -- Harbaugh on the strength of the NFC West Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: “I'm asking this because you have a fair share of adversity this year unlike your first two seasons here, but have you had to invoke Freddy P. Soft this year?” A: "No. Not that I can recall. The fellas have been preparing great every week. And, that's where it starts. That's where we're at today. And, we're looking for a good day today." Quote Of The Week: “Really, getting started early. I recognize when I’m able to make a lot of plays, not just during the week in preparing, but when that game’s starting, feeling what the team’s trying to do. In this league, if something successful happens on one play, they’re going to come back to that play, so you try not to let it happen a second time. Just me playing a full 60 minute game and letting the game come to me.” - Navorro Bowman on his favorite part of football. Taking out the trash: NOthing to report |
| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 22 November 2013, 6:38 am Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Redskins Time (PST): Monday 8:40 PM Injury Report: Garrett Celek, Ray McDonald, Dan Skuta, Colin Kaepernick, Mario Manningham, Quinton Dial, Tarell Brown, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Justin Smith, Frank Gore Recap: It may have been a penalty away from icing the game, but the 49ers did not deserve to win for the second straight week. The offense came to a pitter-pattering halt for the second straight week, as the Saints consumed the run by stacking the box and daring Kaepernick to throw. Receivers were open, and Kaepernick got a bit more protection from his line than last week (though that is not saying much) yet the offense could not capitalize at all. The 49ers play a woeful but desperate team this week, and if they can’t break out the offense this week, than it may really, really, be time to call for changes. Game Plan: OFFENSE: It sounds simple, but score points. Don’t worry about establishing the run. Come out and throw the ball. Spread the offense out so Kaepernick can see the field, and throw the ball. Can they execute? DEFENSE: The 49ers have struggled to stop the run up the middle of the field and have not been able to get to the quarterback. That is what the team needs to make happen if they want to send a message to the NFL. Key Matchup: Colin Kaepernick vs the Redskins Defense. 1 versus many. Kaepernick needs to prove to his team and the entire NFL that he can pick a defense apart. Otherwise the Niners may as well pack it in now. Even though the turnaround may come against an awful team, the momentum is needed to start righting this ship. Harbaugh setting up the officials: Q: Can you maybe elaborate why you think it’s a bad call? A: “I said it’s the official’s call to make. I’m going to see it with my eyes and I’m explaining that maybe that’s because it’s through my eyes, my perspective, our perspective of this team. So, possibly that could explain.” Harbaugh-isms: Q: You went through a similar line of questioning earlier this year with S Donte Whitner with a hit in the end zone. Does it seem like anytime there is a big hit, a violent hit, no matter whether it’s legal or illegal, it’s going to get called at this point in the stage of the NFL? A: “Well, I mean, this isn’t NASCAR. This isn’t where the drivers and the owners after the game or the race get up there and start throwing punches at each other and questioning every call and everybody’s in everybody’s face heated, etcetera. Or the next day, talking about how the points went. We can’t argue that. And you know that. You know I can’t stand up here and make these comments. So, that’s two different worlds. There’s NASCAR and there’s professional football. So, it’s not our place as coaches to talk about that.” Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: “Yesterday, RB Frank Gore mentioned the last two opponents have had good defensive schemes. You kind of alluded to, I think Monday, the last two opponents have attacked you very differently as far as from a defensive standpoint. Is that, with all due respect, have you guys been out-schemed?” A: "No. I wouldn't say that." Quote Of The Week: "This is the most embarrassing call in the NFL since the tuck rule." -- Ray Lewis on the Brooks hit / penalty versus the Saints. Lewis also offered to fund have any fine that comes from that hit Taking out the trash: “I know Monday night, Washington is going to be pumped, and we’re trying to get back on track to where we want to be, and that’s the playoffs,” -- Frank Gore on trying to right the ship against Washington |
| G+ | Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recap 15 November 2013, 8:31 pm Weekly Golden Nuggets In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. Opponent: vs Saints Time (PST): Sunday Nov 17th, 4:25 PST Injury Report: Justin Smith, Garrett Celek, Mario Manningham, Quinton Dial, Frank Gore, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald, Mike Iupati, Bruce Miller, Eric Reid, Andy Lee, Dan Skuta, Vernon Davis, Quinton Patton Recap: The 49ers loss to Carolina was scary for a few reasons. First, it was at home. Second, it basically eliminated their chance of winning the NFC West. Third, it revealed a lack of creativity on offense. Fourth it showed just how easy it can be to get to Kaepernick. Fifth, the 49ers got banged up. Really, really, really banged up. Vernon Davis and Eric Reid are set to return despite two concussions in the past year, but Ray MacDonald is out, Manningham is questionable and there are many others on a growing injury list. Game Plan: OFFENSE: The 49ers need to show they can sling the ball, be creative on offense, and still get Frank Gore the touches that he needs to take over a game. This game is going to come down to controlling the line of scrimmage to allow Kaepernick to do his thing - and that might sound easy on paper, but it really, really is not. DEFENSE: The 49ers defense really just needs to keep doing what they have been doing all year. Really, that means keeping the opposition out of the endzone. That will be a very difficult task against the Saints who have proven - as recently as last week to have all the firepower they need. How will the Niners adjust to bringing Aldon Smith back? To playing without Ray Mac? Or to a safety in Eric Reid who may be a bit more timid? Key Matchup: Greg Roman vs the Saints the Defense The 49ers coaching staff have been able to skirt bye for too long now. They got an easy pass because they turned this team around… perhaps with some suboptimal situations. Now is the time that the 49ers coaching staff -specifically Greg Roman needs to prove it can be creative and get the offense rolling up yards and points and dictating the terms of the game. Is Roman up to that task? Harbaugh setting up the officials: Nothing to report Harbaugh-isms: "Schemes are ever-evolving. Yes, we've seen new schemes." -- Harbaugh on the changing nature of the Saints Harbaugh vs the Media: Q: Not to rake him over the coals, but is that something that a young quarterback is always working on, always improving upon? That seems to be one of the toughest parts about playing quarterback is that something that naturally a young guy has to continue to get better at. A: “I understand. I understand what you’re doing, what you’re trying to do and glomming onto somebody’s opinion, but I think it’s whatever they think. The main thing is that we’ll look at it and talk about it with our players and see the areas that we can improve. Just dissecting it as a unit, we had too many negative plays in te game, too many negative plays, loss of yardage plays, penalties, sack, turnover, that we’ve got to get better at. We didn’t do a good enough job. Quote Of The Week: "We didn't play championship football offensively this week." -- Harbaugh on the 49ers loss to Carolina Taking out the trash: “We’ll be ready,” Gore said in reference to what the Saints may throw the 49ers way. |

+San Francisco 49ers fans everywhere may be catching on to two of Trent Baalke's favorite offseason tactics this year. We at 49ersParadise.com want to hear what you have to say about them. 1) The #49ers have made a concerted effort over the past few years to add former high draft picks who have underperformed since their rookie season. In this way, they can extend that year's draft to pick up more first round picks for a much lesser price (by trade this sometimes accounts to a 6th or 7th rounder, and in some cases the players are free agents). Do the 49ers believe they are better at developing talent than other organizations or are they just as enamoured by the measurables that had these players ranked so high coming into the draft? 2) The contract structure being offered this year tends to have more voidable years than we have seen in the past. This trend helps to play with the salary cap ... is the team mortgaging its future? We want to hear from you!

Weekly Golden Nuggets<BR> In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. <Br><Br>Opponent: vs Seahawks <Br><Br>Time (PST): Sunday 3:30 PM PST <Br><Br>Injury Report:<Br> Navorro Bowman, Ahmad Brooks, Michael Crabtree, Demarcus Dobbs, Jonathan Goodwin, Frank Gore, Carlos Rogers, Dan Skuta, Justin Smith, Will Tukuafu <Br><Br>Recap:<Br> The 49ers beat Carolina in a rematch from earlier in the season. This time, the 49ers came prepared to score a few touchdowns. The officiating continued to be awful, notwithstanding that, the game was tight in the first half, and the something clicked for the 49ers offense on the last drive of the half, and it was all over for Carolina. The defense played remarkably well, making two goal line stops, showing Carolina a formation with Brooks as the middle linebacker - something they had not put on film all season. Meanwhile, the offense depended on Boldin in key moments, but it was Davis and Kaepernick who scored the only touchdowns. The win put the 49ers in their third Conference Championship in as many years - a record for Head Coach Harbaugh who is only 3 years into his job. <Br><Br>Game Plan:<Br> OFFENSE: Score touchdowns. Protect the Ball. It sounds simple, but many of the 49ers drives have not ended in touchdowns. They need to score more than field goals to beat the NFC West foe. Also, this game may be decided by a single possession so maintaining control of the football is absolutely vital. Seattle has done a good job of forcing turnovers when the two teams meet. DEFENSE: Stop the run. Force turnovers. You can’t ignore the running game of Seattle. In fact, the 49ers will key in on stopping it. If they can do that, they may be able to press Russell Wilson into turning the ball over - and that could be the difference in this game. Rather than bend and not break, the 49ers defense has to suffocate Seattle. <Br><Br>Key Matchup:<Br> 49ers Secondary vs Russell Wilson If the 49ers key in on stopping the run game, as I suspect they will, it may expose the defensive backfield to Russell Wilson. The group has played well in recent weeks, but will need to step it up to beat the crafty Wilson. Wilson can make plays from anywhere on the field, and somehow makes his receivers look better than they are. 49ers vs The Officials: Boldin on whether Seattle gets away with holding penalties or not. <Br>Q: Did you feel in your previous games against the Seahawks, was there anymore or less called against them than other games you played this year? <Br>A: “If you get called for it, it’s holding. If not, it’s not holding. So, you just play football.” <Br><Br>Harbaugh-isms:<Br> <Br>A: “Well, there are tough things about communication in a loud stadium, on the road that the offense will strive to be very precise at. But tough, this is only for the tough. This kind of game, this kind of point in the season. And our guys are very happy about it. They’re very excited and very much looking forward to this being a lot of fun. This kind of game, I was thinking of the things I would trade to be able to compete as a player in these games, in this game. It’s pretty significant.” <Br>Q: What would you trade? <Br>A: “There’s a lot. There’s a lot.” <Br><Br>Harbaugh vs the Media:<Br> <Br>Q: That means do you need to come in and be physical right away? <Br>A: “No desire to talk about what our plan is.” <Br><Br>Quote Of The Week:<Br> We’ve been everywhere, man. (Singing) Been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto.” - Jim Harbaugh on the 49ers recent travels <Br><Br>Taking out the trash:<Br> “There’s no question there’s a lot of hostility between us, but at the end of the day, they’re another football team.” -- Patrick Willis on the 49ers vs Seahawks rivalry

Weekly Golden Nuggets
In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash.
Opponent: vs Packers
Time (PST): Sunday 1:05 PM PST
Injury Report:
Jonathan Goodwin, Dan Skuta, Demarcus Dobbs, Frank Gore, Justin Smith, Michael Crabtree, Carlos Rogers, Navorro Bowman
Recap:
The 49ers beat Green Bay… but they should have put the nail in the coffin far earlier in the game. They had Green Bay suffocated by some terrific defense, but failed to put touchdowns on the board. Then, before you know it, the Packer found some room to breathe and were up 7-6. From that point on, it was a blow-by-blow game and the 49ers once again had to depend on the steady leg of Phil Dawson to win the game. The 49ers continue t have the Packer’s number in the Kaepernick era beating them first with Kap’s legs, then his arm, and then with a balanced approach.
Game Plan:
OFFENSE: Score touchdowns. In the first matchup vs the Panthers the 49ers failed to score a touchdown. They have some weapons back on offense this time around, but have struggled to score touchdowns in recent weeks as it is. To beat the Panthers the 49ers need to score serious points. DEFENSE: Contain Cam Newton. Newton is a very athletic quarterback, something the 49ers have struggled to pin down when they face them. The defense needs to contain him, and at the same time deliver a few knock out punches to rattle the Panthers in their first playoff game. The Panthers will need a quick start, coming off their bye week and given their inexperience. The 49ers can’t afford for that to happen.
Key Matchup:
Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin vs Panthers Secondary The 49ers need to prove they can score touchdowns, and that means passing to the receivers. Crabtree and Boldin have yet to be part of a game where they both have big games, and this would be an appropriate week for that kind of offense to pick up. 49ers vs The Officials: "I felt it was a hold and I thought I was going to get a flag, I guess they figured they would just let us play. So when when they make that decision, we just have to get off the blocks a little faster." -- Ray McDonald on the should-have-been-a-penalty when he was being held on Rogers 4th down conversion.
Harbaugh-isms:
Matt Maiocco explains some odd behaviour by coach Harbaugh as follows: QUOTE: Having gotten my explanation out of the way, I nudged him with my left elbow and said, “Hey, congratulations.” That’s when Harbaugh wrapped his right arm around my neck, pulled me tight and yelled -- I mean, YELLED -- “Thank you, Matt! I love you!” Then, Harbaugh saw Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee just a stride or two ahead of us and he continued. “I love you, too, Matt.” Harbaugh then planted a kiss firmly on Barrows’ bald head. END QUOTE
Harbaugh vs the Media:
Harbaugh: “I don’t know. What’s the matter with having two favorite teams? Is that a crime? [Santa Rosa Press Democrat columnist] Lowell [Cohn], is that a crime? Does it make you a bad person if you like—?” Cohn: “Apparently in Carolina it does, yeah.” Harbaugh: “My opinion would be that it doesn’t make you a bad person to have two favorite football teams.”
Quote Of The Week:
The media asked Kaepernick about his tackle last week:
Q: It was pretty good. Did you like your form and how would you critique it?
A: “No, he snuck me a little bit. I thought he was going to try and hit the sidelines, so he got under me a little bit. Wish I could have that back.”
Taking out the trash:
Former 49ers’ Long Snapper Brian Jennings rips into Cam Newton for his lack of Pro Bowl preparation: “We have Drew Brees with his playbook all week, studying. … We have Cam Newton with his head phones on all week goofing off. … We go into the game, and this guy is chucking the ball all over the place, and everybody is looking around going, ‘What’s this guy doing? Are you kidding?’ The punter and I look at each other and say, ‘We are going to have a long second half.’ We punted five times.” “He went in there and stank it up. He never looked at his playbook and he’s chucking the ball all over the place. He can’t hit the open guy.”

Weekly Golden Nuggets<BR> In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash. <Br><Br>Opponent: vs Packers <Br><Br>Time (PST): Sunday 1:40 PM PST <Br><Br>Injury Report:<Br> CB Carlos Rogers (hamstring), LB Dan Skuta (foot), CB Eric Wright (hamstring), WR Jon Baldwin (illness), LB Navorro Bowman (wrist), CB Tarell Brown (ribs), C Jonathan Goodwin (not injury related), RB Frank Gore (knee), G Mike Iupati (knee), DT Justin Smith (shoulder). <Br><Br>Recap:<Br> It was an odd game, after jumping up 17-0 and dominating the first quarter, the 49ers went to sleep. Bowman dominated the field, and Dawson - whose field goal streak came to a close early in the game, made two key kicks for the win. The real question… have the 49ers been playing it close to the vest all season to keep their opponents guessing, or are they really not firing on all cylinders? We should start to see the truth this weekend in the Wild Card matchup vs Greenbay. <Br><Br>Game Plan:<Br> OFFENSE: The 49ers need to dominate the line of scrimmage. We don’t know if the team will come out running, passing, or with a balanced attack. They have so far kept the Packers guessing. The weather lends itself to a heavy ground game, and that could get interesting between Kaepernick, Gore, Hunter, James and Dixon - the 49ers have what it takes to make that type of game interesting. DEFENSE: The 49ers have a big question at cornerback as Carlos Rogers and Eric Wright are battling hamstring injuries. The success of this defense will depend on whether the 49ers front can get enough pressure on the Packers that the cornerbacks are not exposed in coverage. Simple? only on paper. <Br><Br>Key Matchup:<Br> Jim Harbaugh/Greg Roman vs Dom Capers: So far Capers has been a few games behind what the 49ers do on the field against Green Bay. If the 49ers have the Packers as confused this weekend as in the past three games, this could be a walk-a-way victory. If not, expect a grudge match with the Packers seeking revenge. 49ers vs The Officials: Nothing to report <Br><Br>Harbaugh-isms:<Br> “I’m just boiling it down Barney-style for myself. And, we’ll take that approach and see if it works.” -- Harbaugh keeping football simple, especially on the road <Br><Br>Harbaugh vs the Media:<Br> <Br>Q: Stylistically, what’s the biggest difference? <Br>A: Stylistically, I don’t know any stylistically. <Br><Br>Quote Of The Week:<Br> “It was a great performance. Spectacular. And, there’s been many since.” -- Harbaguh on Boldin’s week 1 performance <Br><Br>Taking out the trash:<Br> “If we can do what we did the first game and eliminate the run game, and force him to pass, I think we have a better deal going on this time to be able to stop it,” Packers LB Mike Neal said.

In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash.
Opponent: vs Buccaneers
Time (PST): Sunday 1:25 PM PST
Injury Report:
Frank Gore, Joe Staley, Mike Iupati, Dan Skuta, Craig Dahl, Justin Smith, Tarell Brown, Michael Crabtree, Vance McDonald, Mario Manningham, Ray McDonald, Adam Snyder, Aldon Smith
Recap:
In an epic battle, the 49ers toughened up and fought for a victory over the Seahawks. It took everything the 49ers had to beat Seattle - but the 49ers walked away with victory thanks to Frank Gore’s longest run of the season. Special Teams highlighted the day with Dawson’s great kicking, some amazing coverage, and a blocked punt. Kaepernick played good enough, the defense played lights out, and there began the makings of a statement. This team may come together just in time.
Game Plan:
OFFENSE: This continues to be quite simple. Own the line of scrimmage. Get the passing game going. It should be a unique challenge facing the Bucs who have a pretty good secondary. I would love to see the Niners test their depth by going to 3 and 4 WRs with some regularity. DEFENSE: I suspect the 49ers will play their traditional game. The Bucs offense is not something to be truly scared of, so the team just needs to play its game and not sit back and wait for the Bucs to take it to the. On both sides of the ball really, the Niners need to make sure their heads are in the game after a very big game last week.
Key Matchup:
Dashon Goldson will be seeking revenge as he roams the defensive backfield. Kaepernick needs to be accurate with the ball - something he hasn’t done all that well this season, and the receivers need to protect themselves - especially when going over the middle. That collision between Vernon Davis and Dashon Goldson we have all been waiting to see? Well, you can bet the two will bang into each other in a big way at some point this week. 49ers vs The Officials: “It does. That you could benefit from a foul, I don’t think anybody wants that. So, the solution possibly is you treat it like the ball was kicked. Kicking and batting would be the same. It would be a loss of down. But, that’s for the Competition Committee to decide.” -- Harbaugh on the batting of a ball penalty after a blocked punt
Harbaugh-isms:
"I suppose Abraham Lincoln riding across the field with a frock (coat) and a top hat, riding a horse, waving an American flag -- I doubt that would fire them up if this game doesn't fire them up.” -- Habaugh on how big the 49ers vs Seahawks Rivalry is
Harbaugh vs the Media:
Q: “So, when do you leave for Austin, Texas?”
A: “Are you trying to be funny?”
Q: “Trying.”
Quote Of The Week:
“He doesn’t need to prepare for press conferences and come up with a routine like Jay Leno. It’s not his job to come out for 15 minutes and do a monologue. He’s got a lot of things to study for his job. That’s what he needs to do – his job.” -- Harbuagh on the way Kaepernick handles the media
Taking out the trash:
“If we make eye contact, I’ll acknowledge him out of respect,” -- Anthony Davis on his for coach who he faces this week.

Opponent: vs Seahawks
Time (PST): Sunday 1:25 PM PST
Injury Report:
Navorro Bowman, Justin Smith, Mario Manningham, Frank Gore, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Garrett Celek, Dan Skuta, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald
Recap:
The 49ers were playing to keep hold of a playoff spot and in doing so they systematically controlled the game. Even at that there was plenty of room to improve against the Rams. The run game continued to struggle, and despite some big efforts by Boldin and Davis, there was very little involvement of Crabtree or Manningham. The defense on the other hand played lights out, and special teams were on fire - with the exception of a muffed punt by LaMichael James.
Game Plan:
OFFENSE: Just like last time, the Niners need to control the line of scrimmage and get the ball to their receivers. The Hawks do an incredible job of holding receivers and getting away with it. The 49ers need to finally impose their will on offense. DEFENSE: Containing Russell Wilson and forcing him to make a decision in 3 seconds is key. The 49ers will rely on their front 4 to get a rush on Wilson and set the edge. This is far easier said than done, but having the defensive front that the 49ers do, if any team can slow down the Rams it will be the Niners.
Key Matchup:
Michael Crabtree vs the Seahawks defensive backfield. Earlier in the season the Hawks showed they can control Davis and Boldin. The 49ers need to get the Hawks to double up one of their receivers, and that means Crabtree has to be so physical off the line the Hawks are left with no choice. If he can be effective early it should open up the other receiving threats, including Maningham under neath. 49ers vs The Officials: nothing to report
Harbaugh-isms:
"I suppose Abraham Lincoln riding across the field with a frock (coat) and a top hat, riding a horse, waving an American flag -- I doubt that would fire them up if this game doesn't fire them up.” -- Habaugh on how big the 49ers vs Seahawks Rivalry is
Harbaugh vs the Media:
Normally I reserve this spot for Harbaugh, but Kaepernick’s sparring with the media deserves some attention:
Q: “That was the first smile I’ve seen with all the media around you in a long time. Do you not like this, you’re so guarded it seems. Would you just like to cut loose sometimes and speak more extemporaneously or just let it all fly?”
A: “Well, I signed a contract to play football. The media is just something I have the obligation to do.”
Quote Of The Week:
"We're so excited to have him back. You don't know what you're going to get. Get your popcorn and get ready for the show, because with him there, it's going to be pretty exciting with all the guys that we have.” -- Vernon Davis on the return of Crabtree
Taking out the trash:
"It might be the most intense game this season, because those guys don't like us, and we don't like them," -- Vernon Davis on playing the division rival Seahawks

In preview of each week’s game, 49ersParadise.com recaps some of the weeks best moments and the key notes you need to know before this week’s #49ers clash.
Opponent: vs Rams
Time (PST): Sunday 1 PM PST
Injury Report:
Navorro Bowman, Justin Smith, Mario Manningham, Frank Gore, Mike Iupati, Quinton Patton, Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Garrett Celek, Dan Skuta, Tarell Brown, Ray McDonald
Recap:
The 49ers were in a must win scenario on Monday night, half a game back of the Arizona Cardinals for the last playoff spot. They beat a very bad Redskins team, and only looked “ok” doing so. Kaepernick through for 3 touchdowns, as the 49ers passing attack started to come alive. The running game was non-existent playing against 8 and 9 fronts just as the prior two weeks. The 49ers got a lift on special teams from LaMichael James, and Phil Dawson continued to be money as a place kicker. Finally the defensive front unloaded 6 sacks, 2 each by Aldon Smith, Justin Smith and Ahmad Brooks.
Game Plan:
OFFENSE: Counter punch. If the Rams are in run protect all game, the 49ers need to let the passing game explode, stretching the field wide and far. If the Rams try and protect with cover 2, expect Gore to eat them alive. DEFENSE: The 49ers will be tested in the middle of the field, both against the run and the pass. The team must hold its containment while still getting their pass rush on.
Key Matchup:
Michael Crabtree vs the Rams defensive backfield. Nothing would ignite the 49ers offense more than an early big touchdown pass to Crabtree. I expect the Rams to be ready for Crabtree to be a big part of the game plan, whether he is or not will remain to be seen. Crabtree may not even have to catch a pass to loosen up the Rams defense. 49ers vs The Officials: “When defensive penalties happen, they should review them, it’s a call that goes up in the air.” - Brooks on the need to review defensive penalties to avoid bad calls like the sack on Brees two weeks ago.
Harbaugh-isms:
"Well, I mean, nobody knows what the rear is right now, as it stands now. But, it's definitely a strong division." -- Harbaugh on the strength of the NFC West
Harbaugh vs the Media:
Q: “I'm asking this because you have a fair share of adversity this year unlike your first two seasons here, but have you had to invoke Freddy P. Soft this year?”
A: "No. Not that I can recall. The fellas have been preparing great every week. And, that's where it starts. That's where we're at today. And, we're looking for a good day today."
Quote Of The Week:
“Really, getting started early. I recognize when I’m able to make a lot of plays, not just during the week in preparing, but when that game’s starting, feeling what the team’s trying to do. In this league, if something successful happens on one play, they’re going to come back to that play, so you try not to let it happen a second time. Just me playing a full 60 minute game and letting the game come to me.” - Navorro Bowman on his favorite part of football.
