Men on the run

Posted by Danny O'Neil at 12:35 PM

What will the 49ers do on Sunday? You don't need to do the math, I will. The 49ers rank No. 29th in passing yardage in the NFL, and the only thing that stopped Frank Gore against Seattle was the final whistle.

Seattle's run defense figures to be the key to this afternoon's game. That aspect of the Seahawks defense was a strength in 2005 and really fell apart the second half of last season. Here's a breakdown of the past two seasons, separated into first and the second half:
