49ers-Titans Final Injury Report

Nothing surprising to close out the week. The 49ers would appear to be getting Reggie Smith back for Sunday's game, which is a nice little shot in the arm for a secondary that has had injury issues much of the season. If Smith is active and playing I'm really curious to see how the team utilizes him, given Nate Clements injury. Mark Roman moved his way up to primary safety backup, so if Roman remains in that role, Smith could be moved around in a variety of other formations.
One thing I wanted to bring up unrelated to injuries: The Sports Guy rolled out his picks for the week today and had these comments about the 49ers-Titans game:
NINERS (-4) over Titans
The strangest line of the year. I don't get it. Vince Young on the road against a good defense getting just four? Really? We're afraid of Chris Johnson that much?
The folks at MCM would have us believe Chris Johnson is a bad, bad man. He's definitely a quality running back, but the 49ers rush defense is quite solid. Vince Young will indeed have to make plays if the Titans are going to win this game.

I'm afraid
Of Chris Johnson. But not as much as I would be of Patrick Willis.

Reggie Smith
I hope he gets some playtime. I doubt it though, as I’d probably be a little more cautious with him (one more week should do him good) and leave him inactive.

He's probably going to see some action
he participated in full practices almost all week. They will gradually work him back in but it wouldn’t surprise me any if he snagged one out of the air like we all saw him do a bunch in preseason right off the bat.

He’s probably going to see some action
Yeah, that’s basically what being listed as “Probable” means.

That is where you are wrong......

Manny Lawson covers the swing pass pretty well
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

And Brooks on 3rd downs

Pat won't focus on Vince we have Lawson for that, Willis's focus is Cris Johnson

Probably the best strategy
Our DB’s can handle their WR’s

LOL
NFL stat keepers are still tallying up yards Roddy White racked up on our defense.

these wideouts can't get behind their girlfriends, this will make our D look better in the passing D

Huh?
What does that have to do with what I said?

Absolutely nothing
but it’s still funny… ‘reply fail’?

It seemed like bignerd was trying to respond to what I said
but if he was I don’t understand what he meant.

Well I dont know
if he considers you a “NFL stat tracker” but if thats the case, I can make the connection. If not, then I am lost too…
Other than that, the exageration on how many yards Roddy racked up on us was humorous to me

It still has nothing to do with '9 in the box' though so IDK
by Drew K on Nov 6, 2009 9:29 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Sorry, I had to cut short the explanation so it wouldn’t muddy the joke.
The 49ers defense had 9 in the box because Atlanta wanted it that way. Falcons went to I formation, double tight ends than unleashed Roddy White on the 49ers CBs.

Not to sure about that
Then if Johnson breaks through, there’s not enough defenders back there. I’d rather be sound and stuff him in the middle and contain he and VY on the perimeter. We only loose by turning over the ball and/or letting CJ run free in the secondary.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.

Not sure why MCM wouldn't believe a prediction of 80yds for CJ
Not sure why people here are quite so worried here either. He was held to 57 against Pittsburgh, 34 against Indy, 83 against Jacksonville the first time and 97 against the Jets and 128 against NE (in the game they lost by 59 points). In fact, if you take out the big games against Houston (20th against the run) and Jacksonville (25th against the run), he averages 80yds a game. Hardly a stretch to think the number 1/2 defense against the run can hold him to that (especially when the other 1/2 held him to 57).

I really don't get this line either
Do they really think that Vince Young is gonna be that good? Because our run defense has been awesome this year. There’s only been one team that has had more than 100 yards rushing against us this season (Houston had 148). I just don’t see Chris Johnson having that good a day vs us and I really can’t see Vince Young torching it up.
