What Worries Me

The Niners are looking good. I know it. Simmons picks them as the upset lock of the week over the Vikings. The defense is damn good. The team plays hungry. And yes, everyone knows they don't have a passing game or QB (although inexplicably Shaun Hill is 9-3 as an NFL starter). However, as other folks begin to the notice the Niners and pick the Niners, they base their theory on the questionable assumption they have a good running game. Yes, Gore ran for 200 yards plus last week. But that primarily based on two runs of 80 yards which were Seattle mistakes. I think people are remembering the 2007 Niners when Larry Allen (aka the strongest man in the NFL) was left tackle. We don't have that kind of line this year that can push the other team off the line of scrimmage. We are committed to the run, but if you take away those two 80 yard runs, you know how many running yards we have over two games? 118. 2.2 yards per carry.

Do we have a good running game?
