TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots
And with the 2009 incarnation of the San Francisco 49ers - a team that I've watched in the offseason and training camp more than any of the other 14 previous versions I've covered - I'm already pretty sure I don't know what I'm talking about.
There has not been much turnover in personnel. I'm projecting that only five players in uniform for the 49ers on Sunday - and no starters - will be players who are completely new to the organization. But that familiarity only makes things more difficult to gauge just how the 49ers are going to fare this season.
The exhibition season did not supply any answers. That is why today's game against the Cardinals, last season's NFC representative in the Super Bowl, should be enlightening.
Offensive line: The same starters are back in the same spots. The only player added to the mix is veteran Tony Pashos, and I'm not sure exactly where he fits in. After all, he is a right tackle. Backups have to be a lit...

San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals
The 49ers will likely do the smart thing tomorrow and run the ball a lot trying to keep the ball away from the Cardinals. Frank Gore will likely be very tired Sunday Night but the Cardinals better also bruise him up some if they want to win this game. Shaun Hill is a good play [...]
Crabtree Not Missed, Hill Leads 49ers Past Cardinals 20-16
A question that has been answered for at least this week was whether the San Francisco 49ers, in their Sunday game against the Arizona Cardinals, would miss rookie holdout wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Quarterback Shaun Hill guided his team on an 80-yard drive midway through the fourth quarter, enough for San Francisco to squeak past [...]
Defending NFC champ Cardinals fall in opener
Shaun Hill and the rest of San Francisco’s offense had an awful second half, except for one magnificent possession. Hill directed a 15-play, 80-yard drive for the winning touchdown on a 5-yard pass to Frank Gore, and the 49ers spoiled the season debut of defending NFC champion Arizona with a 20-16 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Happy Birthday, Michael Crabtree, but San Francisco Wants You to Party Elsewhere
Sunday was a big day for the San Francisco 49ers.
The defense contained, frustrated, and even downright stopped one of the NFL's best offenses from a year ago.
The offense shook off three-plus quarters of third-and-longs and three-and-outs to put together a seven-play, 69-yard drive when it mattered most.
And these 49ers showed they don't need a bull-headed, self-obsessed...

49ers Can Tell Us They're Running, But They Need To Show Us Some Passes
After all the nonsense and posturing, the meaningless preseason games and even more meaningless interviews, the time has come for Team "Don't Tell Me, Show Me" to put up or shut up.
The "Nutcracker" drill has been put in storage for the winter, buried underneath the secret entrance behind Singletary Hill.
