One of the seedier, crueler sides of NFL football is the utter ruthlessness. All is fair in love, war, and football, apparently. The 49ers, themselves, practiced relentless violence. The previous week, Donte Whitner knocked Saints running back, Pierre...
Jim Harbaugh went back to Walker in crunch time. He showed confidence in him guy even though Walker had already bungled a big play. This time, Harbaugh’s loyalty and persistence paid off, but it foreshadowed postseason disaster. 3. Donte Whitner’s...

We're becoming that team ... Each and every week, we're improving. Everybody was on point. It was a real good vibe. The running game opened up. The passing game opened up. We just clicked. We found our rhythm like we did in '09.
I think he's got a bedroom hidden in our facility because he's there all the time
He's our leader ... We follow him. Just another great game for him tonight.
