Stephen A. picks the 49ers over the Saints as NFC favorites \| First Take - YouTube

Stephen A is one of those people that don't debate and would rather argue. I guess it's better for the ratings but I most certainly would not want to be stuck in a room with him for very long.

Stephen A was the only one on the show who did not pick the Saints to win the NFC. He did make a couple of decent points but we have addressed the secondary with veteran leadership. Malcom Jenkins is a ball hawking leader and Jack rabbit Jenkins was a great late addition who now knows the system and is another missing piece. Half our secondary are smart veterans that should not have brain freezes at critical times now. I think we are going to get more turn overs and give the ball back to Drew.

Also hopefully our Dline will not be 3rd and 4th stringers this time.

But of course, he would.

Well you know, until we beat them that’s right to pick them. That’s also why we need another fast, instinctual LB. Just watch Stephone Anthony in that game last season.

San Fran beat us in our house, they should be the favorites; but Drew & Co. shredded that defense; Payton failed to beat 'em up with Latavius, same problem vs the Vikings...

Agree with JP here.

They beat us and when it mattered in the playoffs we sucked. They then beat the Vikings like a JV football team. Right now I don’t think it’s very close, in fact I think the bucs take the division. Unless we do something to improve our pass rush and get to Brady we won’t win the division.
