The 49ers Defense Has Already Injured 6 Running Backs

Remember last year when the Redskins defense was knocking people out every game (Finley, Rodgers, Vick, Addai, etc). Well, the Niners defense is doing the same:
The Niners defense has given up ZERO rushing TDs this year. While that is impressive, how they are knocking RBs out is more alarming:
- Pre-season - Arian Foster hurt his hamstring on a Patrick Willis tackle.
- Week 2 vs DAL - Felix Jones wrist injury on 2nd carry of game (also separated his shoulder). Missed a few series and only had 9 carries total.
- Week 4 vs PHI - LeSean McCoy was banged up and only had 9 carries.
- Week 5 vs TB - LaGarette Blount sprained knee on a tackle - hasn't played since (though is practicing again).
- Week 6 vs DET - Jahvid Best was concussed and has not played a snap since.
- Week 8 vs CLE - Montario Hardesty - calf injury on a hard tackle (out indefinitely).
Via MercuryNews.com, these stats are just amazing....
Here are the fourth-quarter totals of the six starting running backs they've faced, followed by the overall game stats:
- Lynch, Seahawks: 0 carries, 0 receptions. Game total: 13 carries for 33 yards, 2 receptions for 12 yards.
- Jones, Cowboys: 1 carry for 4 yards, 0 receptions. Game total: 9 carries for 25 yards, 1 reception for 4 yards.
- Benson, Bengals: 4 carries for 16 yards, 0 receptions. Game total: 17 carries for 64 yards.
- McCoy, Eagles: 1 carry for 1 yard, 1 reception for 15 yards. Game total: 9 carries for 18 yards, 6 receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown.
- Blount, Buccaneers: 0 carries, 0 receptions. Game total: 10 carries for 34 yards, 2 receptions for 31 yards.
- Best, Lions: 1 carry for minus-1 yard, 0 receptions. Game total: 12 carries for 37 yards, 6 receptions for 73 yards.
The Niners have gone 28 consecutive games of not allowing a 100-yard rusher. Impressive streaks. Painful ones, too, for running backs.
Soooo....what are the odds a brittle Ryan Torain makes it out of this game alive?

Good post though Kevin. Really looking forward to seeing how the Niners operate on Sunday. Comparing Sop to Cofield.

As one Niners fans said...
It’s amazing their defense got more physical when Singletary left.

What we run now on both sides of the ball.
Is what Sing dreamed to know how to run.
All streaks must come to an end.

With the Giants' schedule, this is a good time to regain control of the NFC East.

I’d agree with you if we were playing LFL teams instead of NFL.

I'd say it was possible
If our offense could put any points on the board… Which just isn’t very likely
We need a ST or Defensive touchdown in the worst kind of way.

A big defensive score can turn around a whole season.

Not that hurting people is a good thing but...
I want our defense to be that physical, I want a new MLB now! A Willis for LFB to groom before he retires.
Plus, Patrick Willis kills it in the Reebok commercials
O do I have the guy for you...

I'll gladly take both.
I’m sure we could score an extra 1st rounder by trading Brandon Banks.

That guy is violent, reckless, and dirty… Not sure how I feel about him, if you can somewhat tame him down without losing his edge (i.e. no helmet to helmet hits, less unsportsmanlike conduct pentalties, etc.) I’d love to have him.
I think this is a little of what we need on this team...

Landry tries to do this but fails miserably.

that's not Willis
That’s no one on our D other than maybe Goldson who goes for the knockout hit. Got called twice for hitting a defenseless receiver in the head when it really didn’t happen. They should review those plays it really isn’t fair.
Supposedly the Niners have a weak offense. They are only ranked 6th in PPG.
Crabtree runs a 4.52

When Jim Harbaugh says "more is more" I think he is trying to say Moore is more.

How to stop the 49ers via long-time scout Dave Razzano

Boy, is he hot on the Redskins
First time I have ever seen someone sum up why we suck so succinctly in such a short set of sentences.
The world looks mighty different when you're peeking out your belly button
by Skins Fan '77 on Nov 4, 2011 10:47 AM EDT up reply actions
Ha I'll sum up what he's saying:
1) The passing game is their weakness. The way to beat the 49ers is to work up a lead, forcing San Fran to get away from the run and throw.
2) The Redskins can’t run, making them one-dimensional. Our receivers will be covered, forcing John Beck to hold the ball and be sacked. We won’t score many points.
3) 1+2 = Redskins get dominated on both sides of the ball because they will fail to work with a lead, and will thus get pounded by the 9ers ground game.
we were down by 20+ points against the eagles
Also we are ranked 12th in yards per attempt.

The guy's an idiot.
So I would take what he has to say with a grain of salt. The whole article is just idiotic, the words of someone who doesn’t follow the team very much.
Sometimes Razzano says some smart things, but most of the time he doesn’t.

Key to the game:
Stop Frank Gore and win.

Second key to the Game:
Score more points than San Fran

I'd actually argue let Gore do his thing and take care of business everywhere else.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
I'm not saying let him run for 300 yards, I just don't think stoping Frank Gore is the key to the game...
Gore is going to get his touches/yards that’s a given. It’s actually executing elsewhere, especially offense that is the key for us.

Good. I was afraid anything you posted wouldn't encapsulate the fact that it was a virgins-only sports bar
But that picture has accomplished that quite nicely.

Fine. I'll switch it up this week.
We will get killed. We’ll be lucky to rush for more than 10 yards. Beck will be sacked 27 times and the defense will give up 700 yards.
Final- Niners 45 Skins 0

It’s like asking “Why did you wake up feeling good this morning?”, I don’t know, I just have a good feeling.
You bunch of killjoys.

I'm pretty sure he uped it to 12-4
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
That'd be impressive considering he predicts with lose this game going to 3-5
But upping it to 12-4 despite the mathematical impossibility of winning more than 11 games seems consistent with how iH8 operates.
I'm detecting dangerously high levels of hater molecules in sector 6.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, PART 1 – IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 18TH!!!!!
Plus I have a bet with ThrowItDown
If Skins lose I can’t come back until they win two more games. So it’s a full on Opti-Blitz

GB did the same thing with opposing coaches last year, including SF’s Singletary.
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!
I also edit things at Ridiculous Upside. Check it out.
This would worry me a lot more...
..if I thought we were going to try to run it more than 10 times.
