Wow! I was thinking along the same lines. But I think where he can really hurt the 9ers & set us up with sweet field positions is in the return game. If he can get us starting field position at the 30-35-40yd line, that would be awesome. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes one to the house in this game.
I'd like to see him get at least 10-12 carries in this game to keep the 9er D off balance. He has the speed to take it to the outside & get positive yds.
i want to add that i hope we're closer to DW and AB2 getting larger roles. not bc of any dislike of bradshaw but bc we will need bradshaw for the entire season and post season. if we have to continually run AB 30x a game, he won't last another month imho and if he does somehow last, he prob wont be very effective (worn down).
i remember that with jacobs, the past two yrs we used him sparingly early in the season to try and save him for the push to the playoffs and playoff run. now granted we were afforded that luxury bc we had 2 starters basically with AB and BJ....and for the most part, the theory worked pretty well. Jacobs had that 100 yd game away at dallas in his only real game as the feature back aside from a couple others iirc.
now, the question is, are DW and AB2 ready? I believe they are. The only thing, testing them vs SF could lead to some issues, like if either fumble a couple times, it could devastate their psyche (and football is 90% mental). Im glad we have TC as the coach bc i believe he'll make the right decision. I honestly wouldnt be opposed to given DW a few more carries than recently, but nothing too big. might need to rely on bradshaw solely for one more week (meaning he gets like 90% of the carries and snaps)
WILSON is Ready ! Put him in and turn him loose, he won't disappoint you ! The Niners heads will spin, when they see him RUN by !
GO WILSON ! No Back Flips, unless Tom C says it's OK !
