- Maurice Morris is a more effective inside runner than Jahvid Best. He has earned more carries.

- Some will look at this as kind of an ugly football game. I see it as the opposite. Two good defenses. Not a lot of room to make big plays out there.

- Frank Gore is the 49ers big weapon. Two-minute drill is not what they do well. Taking the lead early in the fourth quarter very important. Alex Smith is a mistake about to happen.
