Post it on the board, then go out and rush for 150. That with 300 in the air should rap it up!!

Link doesn't work for me-----what's the quote?????

Never mind------I've got it now------thanks

 

[Russ Smith]

I think the writer made it seem worse than it was. What Willis is saying is our run defense is ok, it's our pass defense I'm worried about and they pass very well. He's saying we're not worried about the run, we're worried about the pass, if we can't defend that it's irrelevant.

 

[CardLogic]

I disagree Russ, it's pretty clears what is being said, and it's quoted.

We're not worried about the run,'' the 49ers linebacker said. "We know that they're not going to run the ball on us. They will not run the ball on us."

Patrick Willis said if the Arizona Cardinals are going to capture the NFC West crown Monday night, they will have to do so through the air.
The ground is closed.
"We're not worried about the run,'' the 49ers linebacker said. "We know that they're not going to run the ball on us. They will not run the ball on us."
Such a proclamation might come as a surprise to the Cardinals, who come into the game at Candlestick Park averaging 135.0 rushing yards over their past five games.
Like the 49ers, they've been aiming for a more balanced offense. Arizona rolled out 113 yards on the ground last week against Minnesota's third-ranked rushing defense.
"I think anybody would tell you that if you're too one-dimensional in this league, it's hard to be successful,'' Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We're not by any stretch of the imagination the greatest running football team in the league, but for a long time we were the worst team. We could only move it by throwing the football."
Tim Hightower has averaged 6.9 yards per attempt over his past three games. Beanie Wells ranks third among rookie rushers with 517 yards.
Bring it on, Willis said.
"We're not worried about that,'' he said. "But we will have to stop the pass."
The 49ers rank fifth in the NFL in rushing defense and 27th against the pass.

Im not so sure what Willis says isnt the truth. We pass to set up the run & they are very formidable in that area. We have proven that if the run isn't working, we will chunk it all over the field.

 

[lauraw]

So, pass first and use it to get ahead and set up the run.. we need to run in this game or it will be another nailbiter, and my heart has had enough nailbiters for 1 weekend...

At the beginning of the season, I'd agree with you. But now we're FINALLY using 2 TE sets and getting some great seal blocks on the outside to open some holes.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember ever running out of a 2 TE set when we've played SF.

I'm hoping we give them a steady dose of Beanie and TH out of those sets and just blast them off the line.

49ers are writing checks with their mouth that they can't cash.

until we have an x by our name in the standings, we haven't achieved anything yet

I agree with this. There's a big difference between the running game Willis faced in week one vs. the one he's going to face tomorrow.

Mr. Willis, I hope Beanie stiff arms you into oblivion on MNF, and I hope your mama is watching.

hope you guys are right

Throw to score and run to win!

Talk is cheap. Check back in the morning.

Go Go Gadget Stiff Arm!!

Patrick Willis is a very good MLB IMO. He is the one and only Forty-Niner who has earned the right to talk. And he's the only 49er I voted for on my pro-bowl ballot.

That said, I expect the Cardinals to handily win the game tonight.

 

[Shane]

BLASPHEMY!

 

[dreamcastrocks]

BLASPHEMY!

Um no. Give credit where credit is due.

 

[Renz]

Willis is good, but overrated IMO. He gets a ton of "Ronald McKinnon tackles", 5 and 10 yards down the field.

 

[Shane]

Um no. Give credit where credit is due.

Umm no! You couldn't pay me to vote for an NFC west opponent for the PB. Not happening!

Now if you want some bulletin board material read Tim Kawakami's column today about Singletary.
http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_13991284?nclick_check=1

In it he says that the 49ers don't want to be like the Cards, they don't view the Cards as a model they wish to be like and he says it's because Singletary thinks the Cards aren't tough. He doesn't directly quote Singletary but says the 49ers want to be "tough" , hard nose defense, smashmouth offense, they don't want to be a "finess" team like the Cards.

I guess Singletary didn't watch last Sunday's game where the Cards manhandled the supposedly tougher Vikings. Or Week 1 when we completely throttled SF's running game.

Keep talking, Mike. More 49er arrogance, just like their fans. They talk big, but this will be their 7th losing season in a row. Still living in the past.

In my opinion Willis is one of the best defensive players in football. The guy is an absolute beast and everywhere on the field. The guy can knock a FB on his butt and also chase down a WR. He is a freak...

I read the same thing Russ and thought a couple things:

1. As the coach of the 49ers -- what purpose is there in saying you didn't think the upcoming team was tough? Particularly a team that plays its best when feeling slighted. Thank you coach Singletary.

2. His devotion of toughness sounds a bit delusional when his team has abandoned the power running game for the spread offense. Coach tough may want to check with his offensive coordinator.
