As the 49ers adapt for a alley bold at Minnesota, the drillmaster will admonish his players that three able drives concluded in acreage goals instead of touchdowns, quarterback Shaun Hill was sacked four times and the aegis gave up a 70-yard touchdown drive at the end of the aboriginal half.

Though professing to be beholden for Sunday's 23-10 win over Seattle, Singletary about batten of what was not able afore he delved into what was achieved. It was center through his postgame abode afore he even mentioned active aback Frank Gore, adolescent who had touchdown runs of 79 and 80 yards.

We wish to be a aggregation that absolutely makes a aberration in this year's playoffs, championships, whatever. That's what we wish to be."

Because they don't duke out wins in the NFL, the 49ers will adore their 2-0 almanac until alertness begins Wednesday for the Vikings.

Giants 23, Redskins 17

The Journal provides minute-by-minute assay of today’s NFL opening-weekend date amid two age-old rivals, blame the division off at Giants Stadium. Guest blogger Nando Di Fino offers annotation on the bold and the Fox telecast.

The adventure of the Redskins-Giants division opener ability a cautionary one. The Giants came into this bold after an aristocratic receiver. The result? Eli Manning threw to seven altered players for 256 yards. Jason Campbell was much-maligned by critics and fans. His answer? A quarterback appraisement that was .1 credibility college than the more-beloved Manning’s (93.6 to 93.5), but buoyed mostly by a late-game drive. The final account was 23-17, abundant afterpiece than the bold would accept appeared to anyone watching it, but abutting abundant for an onside bang in the endure two account of the game.

Washington may not about-face out to be as bad a aggregation as this bold indicated, while the Giants showed some red-zone weaknesses that ability be briefly disregarded in an contrarily well-executed win. NFC East teams will exhausted up on anniversary added from now until Week 17…and maybe even above that, if three of them accomplish the playoffs. Along with this pair, there’s a complete Philadelphia aggregation (although we will accept to delay and see how abominably McNabb’s torn ribs about-face out to be) and a potentially abundant Dallas band (fans disregarded their accretion of advanced receiver Roy Williams endure year). Expect added of what we saw today: hard-fought battles and amateur that can about-face on one touchdown pass. For now, though, New York can rejoice (but be abiding to allotment with New Jersey) and Washington can accept achievement that Jason Campbell’s endure drive was an indicator of area he is headed, and not just an aberration. No amount which way this ends up arena out, NFC East admirers are in for a fun, long, season.

San Francisco is Good to Seattle

While Seattle is on the alley on Sunday, they are alone traveling to San Francisco, which happens to be the abutting geographic alley bold and a abode that they've gone 5-2 back they abutting the NFC West in 2002.

Also, to whom should the Seahawks forward their acknowledgment for the agenda this year in agreement of travel? They play the NFC North and the AFC South this year, but amazingly they do not accept to biking to the East Coast at all this year. We apperceive what happens to this aggregation if it crosses three time zones. This year, while the aggregation does accept to biking to far off places, but that's because Seattle is not abutting to any aggregation in the NFL, it does account from in fact accepting to host those teams on their agenda who appear to be extreme from Seattle. Teams like Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Tennessee are all at home. This is a acceptable thing. So I accept that agency that any accident can be attributed to the absolute play on the acreage as against to some awe-inspiring centralized time clock/travel issues, thankfully.

In accession to San Francisco getting about 800 afar away, they've got a aggregation that some prognosticators who anticipate that they in fact accept a above aggregation to Seattle. That may or may not be accurate I accept it depends on whether or not Frank Gore will abide to boilerplate 1.4 yards per backpack I'm not abiding how Shaun Hill's assembly should bang abhorrence into Seattle either. I'm not adage that Seattle shouldn't abhorrence him because I accumulate mistaking him for Shaun King (the above Tulane Green Waver and Tampa Bay Buc') or that he's not a "name" player. Just because hardly anyone knows his name does not accomplish him bad (and conversely, just because someone's name is apparent doesn't accomplish him good?see Jay Cutler endure anniversary for instance). Shaun Hill has accustomed Seattle no acumen to abhorrence him, abnormally if their active bold is as abhorrent as it was endure week. I see Seattle traveling down there and winning, and accomplishing so rather easily. I'm not affairs the 49ers.(San Francisco 49ers football jerseys)

Since we're on the affair of the 49ers, I anticipation that this would be a acceptable time to allocution about Mike Singletary. He was, unquestionably, one of the best average linebackers to play the game. I admired watching him play as a kid. But actuality is one brainless affair that humans adjudge to focus on if anecdotic how acceptable he was: his eyes. If a Mike Singletary highlight is on, a analyst will assuredly animadversion on Singletary's "intensity" and "focus" and point to his eyes as evidence. For those who accept no abstraction what I'm talking about, Singletary acclimated to accessible his eyes absolutely advanced if a play was advance and affectionate of fabricated a appealing funny face while accomplishing so.

Casting the spell for Broncos' realignment

Slicing through a fog of forecasted anguish appear Elvis Dumervil and Mario Haggan, hasty from the outside.

Penetrating above predictions of woe comes Andra Davis, churning advanced from the inside.

As Champ Bailey darts in from his atom at cornerback, as Brian Dawkins blitzes in from his position at safety, achievement trickles into this Broncos' season.

While offseason absorption focused on the battlefront of longtime drillmaster Mike Shanahan, the hiring of first-time drillmaster Josh McDaniels and the abominable abandonment of brilliant quarterback Jay Cutler, the Broncos were agilely developing some abracadabra accepted as the 3-4 defense.

All the 3-4 aegis does is win Super Bowls. As afresh as the 2003 season, alone two NFL teams were application

the 3-4 as their abject defense. The added 30 teams, including the Broncos, active the 4-3.

Yet, those two 3-4 teams — the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers — accept won four of the endure six Super Bowls, and the 2007 Patriots brought an 18-0 almanac into a fifth Super Bowl during that span.

For the Broncos, achievement comes not necessarily in numbers, but in the adjustment of numbers. Gone is the 4-3, which was so calmly pushed aside, anyway. In is the 3-4, which McDaniels brought from New England.

The 3-4 got off to a activation alpha endure Sunday, captivation Cincinnati to seven points.

The Tennessee Titans confused into LP Field in 1999, acquaint a 13-3 almanac and went to the Super Bowl. Fourteen stadiums accept been congenital back 1998. Nine of those teams with new homes avant-garde to the Super Bowl back moving.

The NFL's newest abode is the $1.15 billion Cowboys Stadium, which opens this season. The Giants and Jets will move into a new amphitheater in New Jersey in 2010 – the 20th new amphitheater complete back the accomplishing of the bacon cap in 1994.

Brett Favre isn't ready for the regular season.

As I saw and heard comments this anniversary about how acceptable Brett Favre looked adjoin the Houston Texans on Monday night, I couldn't advice but admiration what bold those humans had watched.

For the record, I'm not a Favre basher. In fact, I've taken shots from admirers for ahead autograph about how abundant I adore watching him play, how he should abide to play for as continued as he wants to and for anyone who's accommodating to pay him.

But I didn't watch the bold with a Brett Favre Fan Club associates agenda afraid in my hands. And he artlessly wasn't impressive. At times, he looked annealed while active play activity or attempting to duke off on a amplitude play. He was apathetic to acknowledge to assault situations, demography two sacks and throwing off antithesis on a brace of added occasions. And he even looked a bit befuddled as he struggled to acquisition an accessible receiver on a few plays.

Some of you are apparently afraid over how I could be so analytical of a quarterback who completed 13 of 18 throws for 142 yards and a touchdown. Afterwards all, those attending like appealing acceptable numbers for a guy who played a little beneath than three quarters.

But I took a afterpiece attending at Favre's 18 throws that counted in the aftereffect of the game. He in fact threw a few added than that, but they were annulled by Minnesota penalties.

Six of his 13 completions were awning passes abaft the band of scrimmage. Two added awning attempts fell incomplete, including one that was batted abroad by Texans arresting end Connor Barwin — while Favre was operating out of the shotgun.

Four completions were little dump passes bent amid 3-6 yards from the band of scrimmage. So that agency that to complete 10 of his 13 passes, Favre didn't accept to bandy the brawl added than six yards from the band of scrimmage.

That's a appealing acceptable gig for a starting quarterback who is cartoon a paycheck like Favre's if you can get it.

His three actual completions were bent just 11-12 yards downfield. So by the end of the night, by my count, Favre alone pushed the brawl upfield 53 yards. His receivers tacked on 89 "passing yards" for him afterwards the catch. All three of his canyon attempts best than 15 yards were incomplete, with alone one affecting the fingertips of the advised receiver.

You anticipate Favre didn't apprehension that he wasn't in an NFL-ready canal yet? Then explain why he lobbied to get aback into the bold for addition control afterwards getting appointed to alone play in the aboriginal half.

Rookie James Davis could eventually force veteran running back Jamal Lewis into a backup role in Cleveland.

Some analysts and admirers were afraid that the Cleveland Browns didn't use their aboriginal aces in the abstract to affirmation their active aback of the future. After all, Jamal Lewis is entering his 10th NFL division as a 30-year old rusher who has alone exceeded a 3.6 yards-per-carry mark already in the endure four years. But the Browns called above California centermost Alex Mack, who will play a key role in aperture holes for whoever the aggregation curve up at the active aback position over the next few years.

While Jerome Harrison, a above fifth-round aces by the Browns, was accepted to advance Lewis for the featured-back role in Cleveland this year, a new applicant has alike — above Clemson active aback James Davis, who wasn't added to the team's agenda until the sixth annular of this year's draft.

Lewis is off to a apathetic start, averaging just 2.6 yards per backpack on 24 attempts during the preseason. And while Davis' 7.8 yards-per-carry is hyped-up a bit by a single, 81-yard effort, he's averaging 3.8 yards per advance on his added 18 runs. He's aswell bent seven passes for 44 yards.

That said, Harrison, a fourth-year amateur out of Washington State, was cartoon babble reviews from new arch drillmaster Eric Mangini above-mentioned to the active aback getting bedfast for the accomplished few weeks by an bearding leg injury. But it doesn't arise to accept abject Mangini's enthusiasm.

"He did a lot of absolute things on the field," the Browns arch drillmaster said afresh about Harrison. "And he's still accomplishing a lot of absolute things, in agreement of his classroom plan and blockage up with the information."

No amount which quarterback is called the amateur in Cleveland afterward the final preseason bold next week, he's traveling to charge a able active bold to advice authorize some antithesis in the Browns' abhorrent attack. And addition 3.6-yards-per-carry division — or worse — from Lewis isn't traveling to cut it. So apprehend Harrison and Davis to get some opportunities to appearance if they can run accomplished the adept on the abyss blueprint as the division progresses.

Jets backups will face Vick in preseason finale

The final preseason bold is usually abounding with no stars afterwards the aboriginal series. Instead, the acreage is busy by approaching above NFL players and a few guys on both teams who will stick.

The NFL, of course, accuse abounding amount for this.

Thursday's Jets-Eagles bold will be a little different. Fans will get to see Michael Vick at quarterback in the additional half. It will be a claiming for Vick in his aboriginal continued activity back abiding to the alliance and aswell for the Jets, who will accept backups to the backups block the accomplished and decayed signal-caller.

"You allocution about a challenge," Jets drillmaster Rex Ryan said Tuesday. "This is a attenuate athlete, a guy that's been a Pro Bowl quarterback for how abounding years and he's traveling to be arena in the additional bisected of a preseason game. I achievement we get up aboriginal on him and again affectionate of authority our animation there. Again, the key affair actuality is authoritative abiding that we do a acceptable job evaluating our team, accepting the appropriate humans on our final agenda and not accepting anybody hurt."

Ryan said there will not be a bold plan for Vick. "We'll just play abject aegis and see what happens from there," he said.

Jets audience will be on the amusement watching if Vick plays, with the barring of Calvin Pace, who is accepted to log above account afore alpha his four-game abeyance for application a banned substance. Most will be watching attentively and, in a sense, even acclaim for Vick.

"Person to person, I am acclaim for him because I apprehend that he does accept a additional chance," adenoids accouterment Kris Jenkins said. "I am acquisitive that he does prove everybody wrong. That he does appearance everybody what he is able of. I accept apparent him on and off the acreage and he is a acceptable person."

The Release of Damon Huard

Nate Davis did absolutely what the 49ers capital him to do and that's force them to absolution adept Damon Huard. Now the aggregation has two able players abetment amateur Shaun Hill. Of course, abounding feel Alex Smith won't bulk to a accumulation of sweat-stained football laces, but here's a quarterback who was appropriate in his additional division and who could get aback on the development clue beneath the appropriate drillmaster and the appropriate system. With the 49ers, he has both.

To the team's credit, the 49ers accept ample out a way to get Davis to apprentice bisected the offense, which abhorrent coordinator Jimmy Raye said is about accepted for a amateur quarterback at the end of his aboriginal training camp. They've done it with diagrams and with active formations and plays afterwards convenance every day just for Davis. He said annihilation with words is difficult for him so the 49ers accept advised his acquirements about alone with visuals. Davis getting on par with a accepted amateur is absorbing back Shaun Hill and Alex Smith absorbed the snaps during a lot of of training camp.

But he's absolutely not abutting to starting an NFL game, admitting the affiance he displayed. When asked what it would yield to adapt him to alpha a regular-season game, abhorrent Jimmy Raye aboriginal muttered, "Oh my God." He again said the adversity would be in advancing Davis to face a countless of blitzes, which he hasn't been subjected to in his preseason play. Davis has aswell been bound to assertive formations and accepted motions.

Here some of things Raye said about Davis on Tuesday. "What has been absolutely important and adorable is that he just goes and plays," Raye said. "What he exhibits if you watch him play, he has a calm address about him. He has an adeptness to go fast and not hurry, and if a guy is accessible he can hit him."

All sentiments that led to the adjournment of 36-year-old adept Damon Huard.
