Tramaine Brock's early pick six of Matt Schaub set the tone for a laugher Sunday night, as the Niners won 34-3 over the Houston Texans and moved to 3-2. After being beat up in back-to-back losses to the Seahawks and Colts, the 49ers have beaten the Rams and Texans by a combined score of 69-14. Source: NFL.com Sweets's Take: Again our defense comes to the rescue. I'm still waiting for Kaepernick to kick it into high gear, I also very appreciative that our defense is keeping us in the games. Our schedule is a tad easier now so hopefully Colin can get his own swagger back.
In 2 weeks... Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham, Quinton Dial, Tank Carradine, Eric Wright and Marcus Lattimore will be off NFI and PUP lists. We'll have Willis and Nnamdi back as well. Not sure who loses their jobs at that point, but crazy to think the team is playing this well now without all that depth. I think Marlon Moore will probably be released for Manningham. They'll have a few weeks before they have to add Crab to the active roster. Dial and Tank can't come on at a more needed time, with Ray McDonald going down yesterday. Not sure what the plan is for Lattimore though. I was surprised they didn't IR him for the entire year to start off. And hopefully in the middle of all this SF gets Aldon back
