Coming out coming back here on Wednesday at 49ers facilities they returned from a bye week you went to gimme nights that they. The size and B for their support and patronage as they sponsor the man maybe think that you're on CSN Bay Area dot com and the foot is actually had practice yesterday on Tuesday they came in a day early. After a bye week because Jim Harbaugh really wanted to get this team going and Patrick Willis Alex Smith. Satisfied with the tempo and practicing I definitely want picked up that momentum because their goal is to get. Even stronger in November and December with four division games coming up. Well I mean they had a whole week off so it's one of those situations like. Did you mention the Detroit Tigers the other day. The only tried you have a few days off that they need -- kick start that they try to get back right into the swing of things and Tim are process. We don't want to be like the Detroit Tigers so I don't think there's a huge fear that team you know. Coming up flat or just not be ready to play football I think that time away a lot of times. Helps a team kind of refocus. And reenergize and they know that. Beginning. You know when they came in to start preparing for the St. Louis Rams in its gonna be. -- pedal to the metal and it's try to get that -- One of the top two seeds in the NFC playoffs. And and go into the into the playoffs with a lot of momentum. Definitely this bye week -- coming at a perfect time midway through this season rested everyone healthy. Really -- injured is my maybe didn't come at a perfect time because they are so healthy. You know maybe it. Maybe when it -- little bit banged up this week or two from now maybe that's when the perfect time would be but. Yeah I don't know that I've been around -- that's this healthy. Now they have the one. Injury in the pre season and went Parys Haralson back up at outside linebacker went down at season ending surgery on his triceps. But man this team. Has remained healthy and that's that's offices to mark Murayama and the industry think it stinks that these guys. Today. Don't have very many guys they haven't had very many guys on the course of the season. Where you market -- is inactive on Sunday. Because of injuries here. Only player maybe. Might be Frank Gore obviously had his bruised ribs in their last game before the break he said that the rest is really allowed his ribs almost get back to normal so he's feeling fine if that's. That's -- strength his team -- -- head coach Jeff Fisher for the Rams is saying that it's a variation of the 49ers -- game and that's something that 49ers of them very well at the offensive line it every offensive scheme. For their opponents has been different in the run game from week to week you really haven't done the same thing twice. And they know that to get their passing game established Frank Gore needs to run well and that's something that they're planning for the Rams for the sun. Yeah I mean did the Rams I think there like every team faces or matters are going okay we mapped out. Hundreds of different run plays out of different formations and different ways of running the same play. And plays that they don't see from other teams. That way they've mapped out all these plays they've seen from before you guys that it's a matter of -- which ones are we gonna see on Sunday. And so it says that cat and now so what do the 49ers thing that would be successful. Against us we know that they're gonna run power room we know that you might -- body is going to be on around him and -- and people they if it's going to be a steady dose of Frank -- between the tackles but. That's. Where the prayers have an advantage. In that they do so many different things and being your thinking run run run and then Alex Smith play action pass he can get the ball down the field a little bit so. Forty guys earn a spot right now where Jeff Fisher said that. Yeah he's he has seen these the amount of runs that the varied amount of runs. From other teams that they face through the years why is it in his seat at the 49ers are able put out there on film and put out there on Sundays. This season. -- the big name on the Rams defense is their linebackers and learn and if he's very familiar with Alex they need to do is they actually college roommates for a year. And Ohio State it carries he gets out there that you bet I bet and I -- -- -- -- very well not details of those stories. But -- added some veteran presence on Andy's sentiments better and improve defense they faced last. Yeah I mean you think about just the Rams of the past few years and there's secondaries and is in shambles. A lot of injuries. Just. You know they they weren't very good defense especially on the back -- Cortland Finnegan is one of the top cornerbacks certainly that was a big. Find going out and getting into north chickens of course a traffic was probably a mid first round draft pick it falls because of some off the field stuff. But another guy who's a star is Chris Long. He's a guy -- just has gotten better and reminds me a lot of just Smith and that. He was such a high draft pick and maybe early on people did was he over drafted. But then the more you watch him just the better he gets in in the more Brett ball around as he -- he's he's good run gains get in the passing game. And he's gonna be an all day chore. For Anthony Davis and the -- that certainly expects to meet up against Chris Long as you mentioned the one thing about this offense I think. Is we've seen them match up against very good defensive players we just last week Michael Crabtree Patrick Peterson you know -- an explosive cornerback and special teams player he has. And for the first time we seen the 49ers skilled players match up well against the other team's defensive star. Well I think it now for an answer they've. He used to be Frank Gore Vernon Davis in any nomination. And now what you've seen is this team still have a difficult time containing Frank Gore. But Vernon Davis the last three weeks defense -- defense is that really focus in on him really honed in on taking him out the game. And in this I think the Briere said at a difficult time adjusting. -- -- -- If the ball is that they are there Vernon davis' of their capacity where they turn. And we'll see if what we saw that Monday night against the Cardinals is something that Alex Smith can carry over with Michael Crabtree. With Randy Moss. And if so the forty -- offense will be set up very well for the second half of the season. If they struggle in trying to them maneuver those those one on one matchups. And exploit those one on one matchups as if Crabtree doesn't win those Alex -- doesn't give him the opportunities. That he would like. Then that's a big blow to the prayers deepen our prayers offense because then teams can really use that as a template. Vernon Davis out of the game and watch the 49ers were the forty guys have to be able to make other teams score by saying if you take. Pretty Davis out the game -- -- this goes here we'll go there. Part of 49ers defense we know what they can do it in the right and this year against the pass. As well Steven Jackson not the running back for the Rams that he was last year they actually have different players that they've been going to with the biggest challenge. Think offensively. For this 49ers defense -- they. That -- in the ransom very big challenge against Rams defense I would guess it would be. You know the smaller quicker receivers. Danny Danny Amendola. It was Rogers matching up in the slot and assuming that you'll be able to play also Chris givens rookie. As a very good job of getting got to feel so. To me it's that. That the players do what they have been doing which is limit the big play. Then they'll be in fine shape they just can't give up that huge play. And givens has done a good job of getting down the field and making big plays 49ers have been able to keep the ball problem make it -- -- don't buy -- I just didn't match regulating down the Steelers fans to -- So I think -- -- -- just don't give up that way. Foreigners they certainly not looking past the -- that people expect and to me very easily here at home. Most importantly if they want to themselves in great position for the playoffs and so they're really getting their focus they don't when it's right tiger. So getting the outfield and now I think it says let's we'll be back here tomorrow I won't be here tomorrow I will be headed feet I -- to do little plug. Matt did a great job we're teaming up together he's able to get a ring and West Virginia Randy -- his hometown is great interviews so I'm working as a producer. I'm your boss get a -- at. And so we are -- -- -- three part series as special odd Randy Moss and how ran the West Virginia really -- him that was going to air next week. Bullets in on that but I'm looking forward to all the citizens -- great stories come together really nicely and I think it's something that Randy Moss and football fans are willing to looking forward I'm looking forward to what you do it. With my. Blinked and missed. I you don't see big so I don't see next time right here on is the Bay Area dot job.
