Some people are a little homeristic about the run game but really - it has been already proven that the 49ers can be beaten with just simple 50-60-70-80 or 110 yard type rushing numbers. And we have four healthy backs to do it, we will spread it around so they stay fresh late in the game when the defense is tired, and although no one in Niner nation will admit it, we are 6th in rushing to their 8th, had more rushing TD's, and we have a 4.9 rushing average to their 4.1, that's nearly a whole yard difference. Very helpful in a tight game. And fewer fumbles on the year. Sproles recently set an all-time NFL single-season record for all purpose-yards, which of course includes short passes and kick returns as well as runs, but the reality is that a healthy chunk of his yardage was done on the ground from a conventional RB position. He is speedy and elusive and makes guys miss, he can give big guys some problems in tackling him or even keeping track of where he is on the field. And GRASS does not seem to slow him down much, he played well in San Diego and ran wild for us in games on grass turf including Carolina and Tennessee this year.

It's all talk till the game starts.
Has anyone noticed how quiet the Saints have been? They have only been handing out compliments to the 9ers. They have been quietly focusing on the task at hand. They are talented, healthy and confident. One day at a time and one game at a time. This is their time to shine & silence the BIG MOUTH pundits.

Other than GW, you never hear anyone in the Saints organization say a peep about any team before a game, other than the standard compliments.

Now that I think about it, the barbs are usually directed at the media and the stupidity they spew: so much for being rusty, it doesn't matter if we finessesely kick their assess... very rare it is directed at a player or team, like the Whistle Monster bit, but even that is after a game.

Yes .... given the tides, the fog, morning dew, the grass, fact that drugs are used in the "dump" that is New Orleans, Drew's height, as well as that the moon will be up Uranus ..... the Saints are doomed.

Somehow, you get the idea that 49er fans have taken up a religious practice more associated with Louisiana: voodoo.
