49ers hope extra week allows Smith to return
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Bay area 49ers' defense is that a lot more stingy with Justin Smith on the field. Anyone in his own locker room or elsewhere will emphatically say as much. So, probably the key to Bay area securing a first-round playoff bye is the chance to get the defensive menace back because of its playoff opener. "The Cowboy," because the Midwesterner is so respectfully referred to by coaches and teammates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is nursing a partially torn left triceps muscle. It sidelined him for that final two regular-season games using the NFC West champion Niners (11-4-1). Coach Jim Harbaugh's hope the one of everybody in the San francisco bay area, for instance that the extra week prior to the NFC divisional playoffs is going to do plenty to heal the lineman for which San Francisco expects to be a special postseason run completely to the Super Bowl. Whether or not the Niners have Smith will determine a lot in how far the franchise goes after last year's near miss in overtime from the NFC championship game against eventual champion Ny. "All I must tell that is saddle up. He's coming,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Ricky Jean Francois,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who started in Smith's put the last two games. "He's got his horse. He got a thoroughbred. He's coming." That certainly seemed to be the situation Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], once the team returned to rehearse carrying out a three-day break. Smith experienced position drills sporting a bulky black brace on his troublesome arm was Advertisement
in a regular white jersey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not a no-contact black uniform. "It couldn't hurt anything," Smith said from the extra time. "We'll see how it's and range from there. It felt great for what we should did today. We really haven't played or done anything yet. Hopefully they'll run right at me and we'll discover quick." The pass rush lacks without Smith. The same is true linebacker Aldon Smith,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who went the final three games without a sack to complete with 19 1/2 and three shy of Michael Strahan's single-season record. The lowly Arizona Cardinals picked on the right side from the 49ers' fearsome defensive line at each opportunity within the regular-season finale with Smith missing. Harbaugh, who wasn't scheduled to be available to the media again until Sunday at the earliest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said this past Monday that Smith had made "significant progress," and the coach remained hopeful of getting him back for the playoffs. Tight end Vernon Davis is one kind of those willing Smith to get back to his former dominant self. Davis liked the new red NFC West champion hat he pulled on last Sunday night just fine. But he also pointed at his ring finger, where there is a vacant spot awaiting a Super Bowl bauble. He explained that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too. Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the 49ers get their minds on larger souvenirs for this season. "It feels great. It will be better after i understand this, though," Davis said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], looking down at his empty finger. "It's like we get an entire other opportunity to check it out again. This past year we've got two shots to obtain there, and that we failed within the second one. Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we have it about the tip of our fingers again. We've just got to go grab it." From the moment last year led to frustrating fashion, San Francisco's focus considered making up for that missed opportunity. "Hey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], doing things the second time around, we have better weapons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we've got a better plan," Davis said. "All we must do is download it today." The 49ers have been super motivated to take the next thing this time. Most of the men in the locker room endured through the losing pre-Harbaugh and know these chances are rare. Linebacker Patrick Willis remembers how bleak things were late in the season for a lot of years before San Francisco ended a stretch of eight seasons with no playoff berth or winning record. "I remember those first four years being to be here plus some guys longer than that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and what it really felt like," Willis said. "This time of the year you (would) you need to be playing for pride and playing to enter the offseason to feel good. And today with one of these last two seasons to be playing for something,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's a blessing. . Our ultimate goal was to reach the Super Bowl, and win that. And that is still ahead of us. It's going to be a difficult road. But we love to it tough." It became much less tough once the Niners earned the NFC's No. 2 seed because of Minnesota's victory over Green Bay. Harbaugh's Niners made it this far despite a quarterback switch that may have caused a rift in the locker room. As the demoted Alex Smith would love to be out there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he supports starter Colin Kaepernick and his teammates. "I'm loving what's going on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Smith, the backup quarterback who last season led the 49ers so near to the Super Bowl. "We've got such a great number of guys. To win the division division champs to get the bye right now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], No. 2 seed in the NFC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's a great situation." Willis has been quick to speak up about realizing what's at stake. "I think with whatever you need to take advantage of the opportunity you have right now and before you decide to,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Willis said.
