Frank Gore has had some of his best rushing games against Seattle, including a 207-yard performance earlier this year. The question heading into the teams\' second meeting is how much Gore will carry the ball in an offense that\'s increasingly leaning toward the pass. (Steve Young addressed that issu.. .. read more..
With Taylor on IR, it\'s Miller time
Tuesday, December 1, 2009
As expected, rookie safety Curtis Taylor (hip) was placed on injured reserve today. That opened up a roster spot that the 49ers filled by elevating fullback Brit Miller to the active roster. The 49ers needed someone to fill Taylor\'s spot on special teams. Miller might be a fullback, but he knows ho.. .. read more..

The seeds of yesterday\'s win over Jacksonville were planted last week in Green Bay. Those of us who were there that day picked up on a vibe in the visitor\'s locker room.

Air Raye is the difference in Niners win
Monday, November 30, 2009
Jimmy Raye has been public enemy No. 1 for 49ers fans as their team has dropped five out of their last six contests in recent weeks. His game plans had been stodgy and predictable, and he had been reluctant to open them up until the 49ers were trailing by three scores. But today, Raye ceased to be .. .. read more..

Singletary clarifies \"meek\" comment
Friday, November 27, 2009
While describing quarterback Alex Smith on Monday, Mike Singletary used a eye-grabbing adjective. \"Alex is such a humble guy, a meek guy, don\'t how long he\'ll stay that way but it\'s a great thing to have a quarterback like that says \'what do you think, coach? What do you want?\'\" Today Singletary ex.. .. read more..
Niners by the numbers
Friday, November 27, 2009
With six games to go, Patrick Willis is No. 2 in the league in tackles. (He has 96; Atlanta\'s Curtis Lofton has 101). Niners fans don\'t want that number to be too high, however. Willis\' tackle total is inversely proportional to how well the 49ers offense is playing. The more three and outs, the mor.. .. read more..
