2012-13 Season Outlooks for the San Francisco 49ers…
Welcome
class and after that small break we are going to begin to take a look at the upcoming
NFL season for 2012. This will be a week to week thing so be prepared to take
notes we may not cover a new team daily. But as for today we are going to start
our series with the San Francisco 49ers. Who just happen to be the defending NFC
West champs.
After
coming so close to a 6th Super Bowl appearance the 49ers will definitely
be hungry coming into this new season. And lead by a man like Jim Harbaugh the
49ers are almost guaranteed to get better in the next season. The 49ers were a
13-3 team lead by a QB with something to prove. He felt as if he had been
looked over…And he was with good reason! He hadn’t produced anything better
than an average season for his entire career and he had a coach that understood
how to teach him to make the best of what he had. Alex Smith had found his Gary
Payton in Jim Harbaugh. Then Alex plays an excellent season that most Niner
fans would like to see him duplicated maybe with a little better job on 3rd
downs. Then there was Frank Gore who had a revival season as Kendall hunter and
Anthony Dixon helped him stay fresh and healthy but good ol Jim made sure to
call some excellent plays to set Gore up for success. This season Gore will
have two more backs to compete for carries with in Rookie LaMichael James and
Brandon Jacobs who will sure have an impact on the offense. There are now only
2 names left on my list of very important
players this season. Randy Moss and Mario Manningham are going to be the guys
under the most pressure to come out and perform they were both brought in to
improve a very injured and anemic passing offense this season so keep an eye on
these two! (and the Alex Smith/Randy Moss combo should pay dividends for
fantasy owners!!)
Now
I will move on to the offensive line. An
offensive line that didn’t really due to much bad last year Alex was well
protected all season. They weren’t perfect but they got the job done. Even
though we lost Adam Snyder the drafting of Joe Looney shows that they wanted to
improve at the guard position. And they did… now in their 2nd season
together the core of Iupati, Staley, Goodwin, Davis are back together again
likely to be joined by Alex Boone. The offense seems to have made all the right
moves this offseason to address the holes that they had at WR and RB.
So
that is all for today class we will discuss the 49ers improvements on defense tomorrow
till the class is dismissed…
