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.

CJ do catch a swing pass… pat will focus on vince and he cant contain both players….

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

Don’t forget that we have Spikes also

And Brooks on 3rd downs

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

by SportsChicken on Nov 6, 2009 8:05 PM PST up reply actions  

LOL

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

by bignerd on Nov 6, 2009 8:32 PM PST up reply actions  

Huh?

What does that have to do with what I said?

by Brendan Scolari on Nov 6, 2009 8:51 PM PST up reply actions  

Absolutely nothing

but it’s still funny… ‘reply fail’?

by Drew Kerr on Nov 6, 2009 9:16 PM PST up reply actions  

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

by Drew Kerr on Nov 6, 2009 9:28 PM PST up reply actions  

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.

by bignerd on Nov 6, 2009 9:50 PM PST up reply actions  

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).

by NH49er on Nov 7, 2009 6:43 AM PST reply actions  

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.
