Madden ‘12 Cover: Patrick Willis vs. The 12th Man

This year's Madden video game cover will be determined by the fans. ESPN.com has a bracket up (who doesn't love brackets?) and are letting fans vote for the next Madden cover representative in a March Madness style system.
The San Francisco 49ers' player is none other than linebacker Patrick Willis. He is facing off against ... wait for it ... Seattle Seahawks representative, The 12th Man.
When you are done laughing, you may want to head over to ESPN and vote for Patrick Willis. While it is doubtful that he will win the whole tournament, and I am sure fans do not want the Madden curse to hit the NFL's best middle linebacker and 49ers fan favorite, you have to head over to vote for him so he does not get knocked out by The 12th Man.
The Seahawks are the only team that do not have an actual player representing them in this contest. They might just as well have put in Blitz, the team mascot.

Deebo Samuel trusts 49ers' next-man-up mentality if he can't play vs. Cardinals
Deebo Samuel hopes to be on the field with his San Francisco 49ers teammates on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. However, speaking with reporters after Friday's practice, the wide receiver didn't sound overly optimistic about his chances of playing this weekend.
The 49ers officially listed Samuel as "questionable" for Sunday. His wide receiver teammate, Jauan Jennings, was listed as "doubtful," making him unlikely to play.
While Samuel was listed as a limited practice participant on Friday, most of his work was done on a side field with trainers.
"I feel pretty good," Samuel said after practice. "We'll just see how I continue to progress for the next

Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook.

49ers demolish Giants in Week 3 victory: Key takeaways
It's hard to think of the New York Giants without some painful postseason memories. And that's why it's always so sweet to beat them soundly. And the San Francisco 49ers did just that on Thursday night, winning 30-12, and improving to 3-0 on the season.
Although the score was relatively close at halftime, it wasn't as close statistically. And by the end of the game, it was even more lopsided—on the scoreboard and on the stat sheet. When you have more YAC (yards after the catch/contact) than the other team has total yards, you've thoroughly beaten your opponent.
The Giants had 150 yards of total
