The defense has to control the Titan rush. This is a must-win game. If they drop the ball on this one our playoff hopes are shot.
Go Niners!

Cool, But we are struggling in our pass defense. that said, if we can force Vince Young tothrow the ball and not give up big plays in the running game I think we should win this game provided the offense doesn't turn the ball over.

Well obviously if we cant stop the pass, what we need is a big Nickel.

Small steps. No 1 against the rush is pretty damn good, though

That's a little misleading as we have played mostly passing teams. AZ was in the same boat until they played a team that actually runs...and they got gashed big time. The next game should tell us where we really are.

Yup! What is even more surprising is that every wants to cut Clements! The guy isn't Nnamdi Asomugha, but he is a good corner. Regardless of how much we pay him. I saw Terrell get burnt quite a bit on the deep routes, but Peyton was off his game and we caught some lucky breaks.

Imagine how good our numbers would be if our offense hadn't been so poor.
