One of the most dominant franchises in NFL history, the San Francisco 49ers have won the Super Bowl on five separate occasions and are undefeated at the Big Dance. Ever since the glory years of Bill Walsh, the San Francisco 49ers have been perennial winners. However, a rough few years have nagged the 49ers, and the team finished a disappointing 5-11 in 2007 thanks to multiple injuries. With a young team beginning to gel together, the San Francisco 49ers are poised to explode this year.
Welcoming offensive coordinator Mike Martz, a budding offensive line should give QB Alex Smith ample time to hit targets WR Isaac Bruce and TE Vernon Davis. Franchise RB Frank Gore is joined by RB DeShaun Foster in the backfield to produce a formidable running attack. The 3-4 defense is led by second-year MLB Patrick Willis and OLB Manny Lawson, while DE Justin Smith adds a devastating pass rush to the front seven. CB Nate Clements headlines a fierce secondary along with S Michael Lewis.
Head coach Mike Nolan will have to use every drop of his defensive genius to overcome a difficult schedule against the NFC West. The talented Arizona Cardinals and resurging St. Louis Rams are always a threat to run away with the division, but longtime division champ Seattle Seahawks will be the main obstacle to division gold. Outside the division, the San Francisco 49ers will face the deadly New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and continue their bitter rivalry against the Dallas Cowboys.
