Default The upcoming 49ers game

The Texans face the 49ers this Sunday on FOX @ noon. (Looks like San Antonio gets the game but no go for Austin & the Metroplex).

The 3-2 49ers have struggled to move the ball ranking 29th in yds/gm (267) but are middle of the pack (tie for 15th) in scoring @ 22.4 pts/gm. Their defense fairs a bit better ranking 12th with 19.6 pts allowed/gm and 15th with 322.6 yds allowed/gm.

The Texans are coming off a nice win over the Bengals where both offense and defense (except for a blip in the 2nd quarter) played well for the full game. Let's see if they can keep it rollin'......

Texans favored by 3.

FOX announcers = Chris Myers and Brian Billick

It ought to be a good game. Singletary will have his defense prepared for Matt and Andre, but we have so many weapons now, we should win. We really need this game for the momentum, if nothing else.

Billick and Martz were giving Schaub and the Texans some props on the NFL Network (Playbook and Total Access).

Leading the league in passing TDs, 1st in completions, 2nd in attempts, passing yardage, etc....

Could this team finally say that we've found our "identity" {at least on offense}

this will be a telling week. the 49er's secondary is far outmatched by the texans' passing game. the 9ers do run a 3-4, which has historically given the texans fits, but if they can get some early success going in the passing game they should be able to slow the rush down. if the texans play the way the did last week, they should score 30+ points this weekend. if they do that, sf won' t be able to keep pace when they are on offense.

I'm not as worried about the 49'ers 3-4 as I was with the Jets. Their starter at NT Franklin is listed at 317. I don't know much of anything about him, but I'm sure he's a fine player. He doesn't scare like a Jenkins or Hampton would. It really hasn't been only the 3-4 that gives us problems. Dominant 4-3 DT like Haynesworth have given us issues as well....Of the course those are guys that give most teams fits.

Yeah, I'm ready for the Texans to show us they can win two or more in a row and keep playing consistent, good football for all four quarters of the game. Things looked good against a so called similar team last week, so keep up the good work.

On offense, if we can protect Schaub, I think we'll do pretty good. Obviously need to keep down the turnovers from Slayton and Schaub with no INTs.

On defense, continue playing the run tough, tackling tough even on the passes that are completed, should be ok there.

Keep up the good work on special teams and figure out how to prevent the blocked field goals finally.

Hope everyone is healthy and all the colds/flus, little knics and bruises are gone by Sunday.

For San Francisco, glad to have Singletary come visit his home town. And interesting to see how Crabtree does in his first game.
