And, though the Ravens traditionally have been one of the NFL's best defensive teams over the past 15 years, this Baltimore team is far less menacing.As Jamison Hensley of ESPN pointed out this week, the Ravens defense has allowed three quarterbacks over the past four weeks to set single-game career highs in passing yards: Oakland's Derek Carr (351), Cincinnati's Andy Dalton (383) and Cleveland's Josh McCown (457).If McCown can do that much damage to the Ravens, what might Kaepernick be able to do?Last week, against the Giants, the 49ers offensive line did a better job of giving Kaepernick more time to...

Miller recently joined the 49ers Webzone "No Huddle" podcast, sharing why he adamantly hopes the team addresses the offensive line at the end of the month.
