Golden Nuggets: All About YAC

Frank Gore will be in on a lot of blitz pick-up on Sunday. I'm hoping we use Vernon Davis a bit less in this... I just think he's becoming far too valuable as a receiving tight end to waste half of his snaps blocking. (PressDemocrat.com) I certainly hope we don't use Frank Gore TOO much, I don't want hi...

The Lessons of Smith, Rodgers

18 Nov 2009 19:00:00 PST

Written by Bill Huber
In San Francisco, the 49ers erred by playing a spread-offense quarterback before either Alex Smith or his teammates were ready. In Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers had the good fortune of waiting and Mike McCarthy got a second chance with a talented passer.

The 49ers defense in the redzone looking back and looking forward

14 Nov 2009 23:08:01 PST

Written by Fooch
The 49ers defense seems to be deep into bend but don't break territory. Solid quarterbacks seem to get plenty of yards against the 49ers (Cutler, Manning, Schaub, Favre, Warner, Ryan), but aside from Ryan, the 49ers defense has kept team's out of the end zone when needed. I think Aaron Rod...

49ERS GAME REVIEW

Written by John Crumpacker
OFFENSE RATING: (SNOOZING VIEWER)The 49ers did not send out an NFL-worthy offense on Thursday night. Any offense that gets five turnovers from its defense and scores only 10 points should be ashamed of itself. On the (very minimal) plus side, the 49ers had...

49ers Drop a Deuce in Loss to Falcons

11 Oct 2009 19:00:25 PDT

Written by Niner Pundit
The San Francisco 49ers’ leader knows he lost his cool. Shaun Hill struggled mightily, and so did the entire San Francisco offense. Hill’s perfect 7-0 record at home as a starter evaporated. The 49ers clearly miss star running back Frank Gore, out until after the bye with a sprained ankle.
