Is the 49ers defense so good that you have to sit nearly every rb goin (1 Viewer)

I'd say yes. Now, am I really going to bench Arian Foster if they played SF, no but they are a team that will shut down RBs. I would sit Kevin Smith this week if I had any other decent matchups this week. I'll be surprised if he gets more than 50 yards rushing.

 
i would not if your RB can catch out of the backfield. Ultimately the niners have a bend but don't break defense and are content with letting the QB dump all day long to the guy coming out of the backfield. Exhibit 1: Randall Cobb wk 1.

QBs against SF are gonna have decent numbers because that's where most of their offense has to come from. Not being able to run, coupled with trailing on the scoreboard = pass, pass, pass.Pass catching RBs may be a decent option, but the Niner defense tends to knock RBs silly, so proceed with caution.
 
Starting Peterson. He's Peterson. I don't care what the supposed logic says. He's going to somehow get 80 yards and a TD.

You know all the old spice commercials boasting about ridiculous feats of manliness? They were based on AP's life.

AP's 2 career game line against 49ers2007: 14 rushes for 3 yards, 0 rec, 0 TDs2009: 19 rushes for 85 yards, 2 rec for 14 yards, 0 TDand those were on good teams before this run defense

Niners defense has been very good against the run for years.

The Vikings have Peterson and Harvin. Peterson will get his carries regardless of the score or whatever else is happening. He is the Vikings best weapon on offense.I think the 49er defense is so effective in the nickle package because so far they have played teams who will run 3 or more receivers (including TE) on most of their plays. The Vikings will do this at times also but not nearly as much as GB and the Lions do. The Vikings will help the 49ers control the clock.I do not expect the 49ers to play as much nickle this week. They know who they need to stop. AD is good enough to have a good game and the Vikings still lose. I see this game as a grind fest after the 9ers build an early lead. I can see some garbage scores in passing game when the Viking defense commits to much to stopping the run, but no real need for the 9ers to not keep things close to the vest this game.

Didn't get the TD but 107 total yards, I'll take it. I'd still say going forward, SF's defense will still be studly but I'd worry about them on the road this year.
