PRE-SEASON STATS SO FAR - -

The stat's pretty amazing given 9ers average a full yard better than the next team (then again, they played against the porous Raiders d-line). I suppose you don't have to pass if you can get 5.3 per carry.
Well, the the red arrow on the NFL.com stat block is a little bit misleading, but we are not actually averaging a full yard more than the next team, the Niners average is actually not even the highest in the NFL this preseason (the highest average per carry at 5.6 belongs, ironically to the Raiders...).
The Niners lead the NFL in Yards per game (that´s where the arrow should be pointing at), at a cool 205,5, about 35 yards per game better than the next best team, the Packers.
I don´t think we can keep that up in the regular season, but it sure looks nice
