The identity that we wanted to achieve this offseason, Singletary said, was to be a physical football team, to be a tough football team, to be relentless, to be disciplined and to be smart. We are building an identity of Champions. That s what our main focus had been about all offseason. Since the time Coach Singletary has taken over, it hasn t been about let s just win a few more games than we won last year or let s just be a little bit better, but let s be Champions and let s train like Champions. LB Patrick Willis Our identity is about being a family and playing as one. Playing together and doing everything together no matter what happens. I see our team identity developing into what it needs to be developed into: unselfishness, accountable, reliable and dependable. - TE Vernon Davis We have a fast, physical, smart team that will fight you throughout four quarters, and if there is a case where we happened to get knocked down or lose a fight, we have so much. I think as a group we are so relentless that we will continue to come back until you quit. - LB Takeo Spikes Our identity as a team is really physical. We are going to get after you no matter what. If we are down, we don t give up. We know no end until it s all said and done. It has to be a win for us. - LB Manny Lawson 49ERS 2009 MEDIA GUIDE The 49ers 2009 media guide is now available in PDF format on the team s website and will be updated weekly throughout the season.

3 THE HEAD COACHES Mike Singletary is in his first full season as the head coach of the 49ers. A two-time Defensive Player of the Year (1985 &1988), Singletary played 12 seasons ( ) for the Chicago Bears and earned countless honors, including 10 consecutive Pro Bowl nods and eight first-team All-Pro selections. After retiring in 1993, he decided to take time away from the game to raise a family. In 2003, Singletary broke into the coaching ranks as the inside linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens. He then moved on to the 49ers in 2005, where he served as the assistant head coach and linebackers coach. A year later, he was elevated to assistant head coach/defense, a title which he held until taking over as the 49ers head coach midway through the 2008 season. He went on to compile a 5-4 record that year, which included victories in five of the final seven contests of the season. Mike Singletary Jim Caldwell 8-7 Regular Season Record as Head Coach Record as Head Coach w/ Current Team 6-0 2nd Years as Head Coach with Team 1st 2nd Years as Head Coach in NFL 1st 7th Years as an NFL Coach 9th Jim Caldwell enters his 1st season as the head coach of the Colts. He previously served with Indianapolis as associate head coach (2008), assistant head coach/qbs ( ) and QBs coach ( ). In 2008, the Colts passing attack ranked 3rd in the AFC and 5th in the NFL, with QB Peyton Manning earning NFL MVP honors.caldwell helped the Colts to another successful season in 2007, going 13-3, with the Colts amassing 450 points, good for 3rd-best in NFL annals to mark the 5th straight year the club ranked in the top three in scoring. FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE 49ers head coach Mike Singletary is one of nine current head coaches who has playing experience in the NFL. Singletary was selected by the Chicago Bears in the second round of the 1981 NFL Draft with the 38th overall pick. In the seventh game of his rookie season, he earned a starting role and found his niche as the cornerstone of the Bears 46 defense. A two-time Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year award winner (1985 & 1988), Singletary was named to the NFL Team of the 80s after being selected to play in a team-record 10 consecutive Pro Bowls. The former Bears defensive captain was also named first-team All-Pro eight times ( ; 1991), second-team All-Pro twice and All-NFC nine times. Singletary finished each of his final 11 seasons on Chicago s defense ranked either first or second in tackles, and at the end of his career, had amassed 1,488 tackles, 885 solo tackles, 51 passes defensed, 12 fumble recoveries and seven interceptions. He also started a defensive team record 172 games for the Bears, trailing only running back Walter Payton s 184 career starts for the all-time lead.

Rookie QB Alex Smith made his first start, finishing with 9 completions and 4 INTs. He was also sacked 5 times and lost a fumble on one of the sacks in the 4th quarter. The first of his three 1st half INTs was returned 24 yds. for a TD by LB Cato June early in the 2nd quarter. Head Coach Mike Nolan did credit Smith s mobility as a factor in the 49ers ability to open up the running game. RB Kevan Barlow paced the 49ers with 99 of the team s 133 yds. on the ground. Indianapolis took its first possession and marched 72 yds. in 7 plays before RB Dominic Rhodes scored on a 6-yd. run for a 7-0 lead. The Colts had a chance to go up 14-0 early in the 2nd quarter, but LB Jeff Ulbrich forced Rhodes to fumble at the 1-yd. line. The ball rolled into the end zone where S Mike Adams recovered for a touchback. Smith was intercepted on the 49ers next three series, including June s 24-yd. TD return. Down 14-0 with just over two minutes to play in the 1st half, LB Derek Smith intercepted a QB Peyton Manning pass to give the 49ers a first down at the Indianapolis 47-yd. line. The 49ers scoring threat ended when Smith was intercepted by the Colts when he attempted to hit WR Arnaz Battle at the Colts 15-yd. line. The 49ers tried to swing the momentum in the 2nd half with a successful onsides kick that was recovered by RB Terry Jackson at the San Francisco 41-yd. line. A 2-yd. run by RB Frank Gore on a 4th-and-1 play from the 50-yd. line, combined with a 20-yd. run by Barlow, helped set up a 30-yd. FG by K Joe Nedney for the 49ers only points of the day. The 49ers failed to convert their second attempt at an onsides kick on the kickoff following the FG, allowing the Colts a first down at the San Francisco 39-yd. line. CB Bruce Thornton stayed step-in-step with WR Marvin Harrison on the next play and intercepted a pass in the end zone to prevent a TD. Alex Smith threw his 4th INT of the game on the next series after the 49ers reached the Indianapolis 37-yd. line. The Colts scored 14 points in the 4th quarter to put the game out of reach. RB Edgerrin James scored on a 4-yd. run to start the 4th quarter, and then Manning connected with WR Troy Walters on an 18-yd.

5 MUSIC TO MY EARS Jimmy Raye has a history of getting the most out of his running backs and tight ends, which is music to the ears of both RB Frank Gore and TE Vernon Davis. From , Raye orchestrated a Los Angeles Rams offense that featured RB Eric Dickerson, who rushed for 2,105 yards in 1984 and 1,808 yards in Several years later, Raye guided TE Tony Gonzalez to the 2nd highest receiving total of his career (1,203 in 2000), while serving as the Chiefs offensive coordinator from Having knowledge of Raye s past, Davis is looking forward to an increased role in the passing game in Since I ve been here, I haven t really had the opportunity to showcase what I could do, but now that Jimmy Raye has come in, he s given me a lot more opportunity to make plays, said Davis. Davis six touchdown receptions currently lead all NFL receivers, while his 355 receiving yards rank 6th in the league. Davis has 132 career receptions for 1,487 yards and 15 touchdowns in his career. I think with his speed and athleticism, his ability to in-line block and the fact that he can block a defensive end in the league, which is unusual for a tight end, and having the combination of the ability to go downfield and matchup and catch the ball, I see him being a very good fit. Raye said of Davis. TURNING THE TIDES One of the main messages head coach Mike Singletary stressed to the team this offseason was the importance of playing smart. After surrendering a league-high 35 giveaways in 2008, San Francisco has surrendered just 7 giveaways over six games this season, while also recording 10 takeaways. The +3 turnover ratio is a stark contrast to the -17 differential from 2008, which ranked tied for 31st in the NFL. With the exception of Kansas City, each team that has a +3 turnover ratio or better this season has a.500 winning percentage or higher. NFL TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL (2009) TEAM TAKEAWAYS GIVEAWAYS DIFF 1. Philadelphia Green Bay New England New Orleans t. Denver Minnesota Indianapolis t. San Francisco Atlanta Houston San Diego The 7 giveaways are tied for the 6th fewest in the NFL this season. One of the things we talk about as a team is not losing football games, said Singletary following the win against St. Louis. Making other teams earn every point they get. When you turn the ball over, it is a formula for disaster, and our guys understand that offensively. Our guys understand that defensively. It just takes the breath out of you. The more turnovers you get, the more it lessens your opportunity to be successful. FEWEST GIVEAWAYS (2009) TEAM GA 1t. Denver 5 Green Bay 5 3t. Indianapolis 6 Minnesota 6 New England 6 6t.

6 BLue collar BAsIcS Under the guidance of defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, the 49ers defense has steadily improved in numerous categories. Manusky, who played 12 seasons in the NFL as a linebacker, saw his unit excel during the final half of the 2008 season. With a simplified 3-4 alignment, the 49ers defense went from ranking 23rd in the NFL after seven games played to 13th by season s end. Manusky s defense has done especially well in creating turnovers in 2009, recording 10 takeaways in six games played. If the 49ers keep up their current pace, the team would have 27 by season s end, which would be the most for the team since 2003 (37). In addition, the 49ers are on pace to total 35 sacks on the season after recording 13 in the first five games of the 2009 season. The 35 sacks would be the most since 2003 when the team posted 42 sacks. Since Manusky took over the 49ers defense in 2007, the results have been positive. 49ERS DEFENSIVE RANKINGS * 2008* 2009* Total Yards Per Game Yards Per Play Rush Yards Per Game Rush Yards Per Attempt Pass Yards Per Game Pass Yards Per Attempt Sacks t-20 Explosive Plays (20+ YDS) t-11 Red Zone (TD%) t-13 *Under Defensive Coordinator Greg Manusky stingy in the second half The 49ers defense ranks among the best in allowing points in the second half, giving up only 37 total points or 6.2 points per game this season. 2ND HALF POINTS ALLOWED, (2009) TEAM 2nd Half Points 2nd Half PPG 1. Denver Green Bay San Francisco Washington Indianapolis New England New York Jets Chicago Seattle Cincinnati Since November 16, 2008, the 49ers defense ranks 3rd in the NFC and 9th among all NFL teams in points allowed, limiting opponents to just 18.8 points per game. Despite giving up 45 points to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5, the 49ers had allowed just 16 points in the season opener at Arz., 10 points vs. Sea., 27 points at Min. (7 of which were from a kickoff returned for a TD), a shutout vs. StL. and and 24 last week against a high-powered Texans offense. DOMINATING DEFENSE POINTS ALLOWED PER GAME SINCE 11/16/08 TEAM P/G 1. Indianapolis Pittsburgh New England Baltimore Philadelphia Washington Cincinnati New York Jets San Francisco Minnesota 19.0 NOWHERE TO RUN The 49ers defense has been extremely stingy against the run in 2009, allowing only 88.8 rushing yards per game to rank 2nd in the NFC and 6th in the NFL. The unit also ranks 2nd in the NFL for average yards per carry (3.3) this year. Under defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, the 49ers defense has allowed a mere 3.70 yards per carry to rank 5th in the NFL since Just as impressive is that the unit has gone up against the 8th most carries (1,118) in the league during that span. Since Mike Singletary took over the team in October of 2008, the 49ers have allowed the 5th fewest rushing yards per game (92.3) in the NFL. OPPONENT RUSHING YARDS PER GAME (2009) TEAM RUSHING YPG 1.

9 SING-ING HIS PRAISES Head coach Mike Singletary is known to be the 49ers living, breathing quote machine. Whether it s a stirring pre-game speech, a mid-practice pep talk or an enthusiastic post-game press conference, the Hall of Famer knows how to passionately deliver a message. With more than a week of Camp Singletary under their belts, the new head coach s pupils sounded off about the man charged with leading them back to greatness. When asked to give a word that best describes Singletary, none of these team leaders stopped at one. Go figure the word intense came up multiple times. Linebacker Patrick Willis - Perfectionist. We expect to be in the Super Bowl under coach Singletary s guidance, that s the God s honest truth. The way we ve gone about working, the time that we ve put in and the way that he s forming this team as one, is not something that you do just to win games but to build a championship team. Center Eric Heitmann - Committed. Coach Singletary is a tremendous motivator and leader. He is incredibly driven and I really admire the way that he s brought this team together and made it more of a family atmosphere amongst the players. Running Back Frank Gore - Indescribable. I like that he keeps it 100% with the team. He knows what we need to do if we want to be one of the elite teams in this league. I know that he cares about what we do out there. I know that if we re doing the right thing, it s going to carry over to the field on Sundays. Tight End Vernon Davis - No nonsense. He wants us to be a family and stick together, be there for one another and just play this game the way it is supposed to be played. Tackle Joe Staley - Intense. If you know Singletary, you know that he s known for his intensity and being physical with an F, as he puts it. Everybody sees his fire, his passion and his intensity for football. The passion that he brings rubs off on this organization and it s exciting. Quarterback Shaun Hill - Champion. The thing that I really like and respect about him is he s completely open and honest with us. I hope that this team, under his tutelage, continues to gel and mold and turn into the team that he envisions us to be. I think we re on our way to doing that. Cornerback Nate Clements - Old-school. He played the game. He s one of those coaches that has been to the Super Bowl and has experienced what we re trying to achieve here. We listen to what he has to say because he s already experienced what we re trying to accomplish. Safety Michael Lewis - Strong. With coach Singletary every small detail counts and it leads to the success of the team. What we re trying to build here is a family atmosphere where we can trust one another and also play for one another. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY When 49ers head coach Mike Singletary was filling out his coaching staff this past offseason, he sought individuals who could not only teach, but also inspire. He went on to add five new faces to what he considered an already special group of coaches, while also elevating Johnnie Lynn to the position of special assistant to the head coach/secondary. Offensive Coordinator - Jimmy Raye Raye rejoined the 49ers after originally serving as the San Francisco s wide receivers coach in He has over 30 years of NFL coaching experience, including a total of 12 years as an offensive coordinator for several teams: Los Angeles Rams ( , 91), Tampa Bay Bucs ( ), New England Patriots (1990), Kansas City Chiefs ( ), Washington Redskins (2001) and Oakland Raiders ( ). When I sat down and listened to what he had to say, in terms of what his philosophy was and the conviction behind it, he talked about the physicality that the offense has to have. He talked about the toughness, both mentally and physically, that the offense has to have. The discipline it takes to do those things. That to me, that was something that we were really excited about. - Mike Singletary Pass Rush Specialist - Al Harris Harris, who is in his first season as an NFL coach, enjoyed a stellar 11- year playing career with the Chicago Bears ( , 86-88) and Philadelphia Eagles ( ). Al Harris greatest attribute is as a teacher. We re excited about the addition of Al because our players will benefit from his teaching ability, in terms of the strategy and methodology of what goes into the pass rush. - Mike Singletary Offensive Assistant - Jason Michael Michael brings both NFL and collegiate coaching experience to San Francisco. Prior to joining the 49ers, he served as the tight ends coach at the University of Tennessee in 2008, after coaching two years ( ) with the New York Jets and one season with the Raiders (2005). I have familiarity with Jason from my time with the Raiders and Jets. He s an extremely organized individual with innate intelligence. Jason has a great feel for defensive game-planning and the type of football we d like to run. He s very much a parrt of what we do. - Jimmy Raye Running Backs - Tom Rathman Rathman is in his 2nd coaching stint with the 49ers, having coached running backs for San Francisco In five of his six seasons with the team, the 49ers rushing attack finished in the top 10 among NFL teams. As a player, Rathman helped the 49ers win two Super Bowl Championships and seven NFC West titles during a playing career that spanned nine years ( ). I think Tom has developed a good rapport with all the running backs, getting to know who they are and coaching them hard, and at the same time being that father figure when you have to listen and help them work through things. - Mike Singletary Inside Linebackers - Vantz Singletary Singletary joins the 49ers after coaching 17 seasons in the collegiate ranks. In 2008, he served as the defensive tackles coach at the University of Buffalo, where he helped lead the school to its first ever bowl appearance. Vantz has had a tremendous career during his many seasons as a collegiate coach. I am confident that the way he has worked with young football players during that extensive experience will translate into success as he embarks on his NFL coaching career. - Mike Singletary

Symmetrical workers also tend to earn more.

15 21 FRANK GORE RUNNING BACK The heart of the 49ers offense for the past 4 seasons, Pro Bowl RB Frank Gore has established himself as one of the premier running backs in the NFL. Known as a breakaway threat and tough inside runner, the former third-round pick became the first 49ers player in team history to record 3 consecutive 1,000-yd. rushing seasons. During the offseason, Gore went through a rigorous training regime with other NFL players that are also former University of Miami alum to prepare for the 2009 season. Among many others, Gore has garnered praise from first year offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye, who has noticed Gore s gains from his workouts and expects an outstanding season from the 5th-year veteran AWARDS & HONORS: NFC Offensive Player of the Week (Week 2) FedEx Ground Player of the Week (Week 2) 2009 HIGHLIGHTS: same game for first time in his career at Arz. (9/13). Became the first 49ers player to record a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same game since RB Kevan Barlow at Philadelphia (12/21/03). Scored two rushing touchdowns (79, 80 yds.) breaking his career long twice in the same game against Sea. (9/20). His previous career-long was a 72-yard run vs. Green Bay (12/10/06). Joins RB Barry Sanders (at Tampa Bay (80, 82) on 10/12/97) as the only players in NFL history to register two touchdown runs of 75-plus yards in the same game. Set a new career-high with 246 yards from scrimmage (207 rushing yards, 39 receiving yards). Tied a career-high with 2 rushing touchdowns. Became the first player in franchise history to have 2 runs of 79 yards or more in the same game vs. Sea. (9/20/09). Left the game at. Min. (9/27) early in the first quarter with an ankle injury. GOLDMINE: Frank s determination to run over defenders comes from his tough upbringing in Miami, FL. Some considered his football career over when he suffered two serious knee injuries at the University of Miami. He relied, however, on his mother Liz s strength to help him through. She had been on dialysis (awaiting a kidney transplant) since I was in the 11th grade and raised three kids as a single woman, Frank said. Unfortunately, Liz lost her battle with kidney disease before the 49ers second game of the 2007 season against the St. Louis Rams. Playing with a heavy heart, Frank responded by rushing for 81 yds. and 2 TDs, including a 43-yd. score on a 4th-and-1 carry, helping the 49ers to a victory. Frank has spent the past summers running hills in Miami with a truck tire tethered to his torso as part of his training regimen. emind himself of the kind of running back he was in high school. He s known to watch old high school highlight films of himself the day before games. It also helps him feel as if he s not too far from home.

With a phenomenal work ethic and tremendous attitude, Gore has hit the ground running and is anxious to start playing games. I feel fast, strong, ready, Gore said. Every time I m on the field, I envision being in the game. I feel great. I feel the more reps, the more comfortable I will be. I m ready to play ball. Gore s efforts and ability have been noticed by everyone, especially offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye. He has been one of the best workers in preparation since we started this training camp, Raye said. I think he has the eye of the tiger this year. From what I ve seen, his work ethic has been outstanding and he s looking forward to a good year, and we are looking forward to him having one. Raye is entering his 33rd season in the NFL and he has coached some of the greatest running backs of all-time, including Hall of Famers Marcus Allen and Eric Dickerson. As he watches Gore on the field, Raye knows that he has all the tools to be one of the best to ever play the game. From what I ve seen of him, he has all the criteria, all the prerequisites, to be a top guy, Raye said of Gore. He has it talent-wise and he has the passion to be a top-level guy, be in the upper echelon of backs that have played in the NFL.

16 21 FRANK GORE RUNNING BACK CONTINUED... player of the week RB Frank Gore was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 2 performance vs. Seattle (9/20). Gore paced the 49ers attack, rushing for 207 yds. on 16 car. (12.9 avg.) and 2 TDs in a win. He began his day by setting a new career-long with a 79-yd. TD run in the first quarter. On the first play of the third quarter, he broke his careerlong record again with an 80-yd. TD run. With his second TD run of the day, Gore joined RB Barry Sanders (at Tampa Bay (80, 82) on 10/12/97) as the only players in NFL history to register two touchdown runs of 75-plus yards in the same game. It is a great honor to be mentioned alongside Barry Sanders, but I have to give up props to my offensive line, said Gore. They did a great job. And the receivers, they did a great job downfield. As an offense, we just have to keep moving forward from this game here. Gore s average of 12.9 yards per carry is the second-best single-game average in franchise history (min. 10 carries).

He has put in hard work to become an all-around back, and that includes excelling in pass protection. Over the course of his career, Gore has been seen time and time again holding his own against larger defenders in pass protection. Gore, at 5-9 and 217 pounds, takes pride in how he approaches blocking. It s not about size. It s about what you ve got in your chest. I ve got a lot of heart. Gore s passion goes a long way. If he s not practicing or conditioning, he s putting in extra hours of film study. He credits his University of Miami running backs coach, Don Soldinger, for stressing the importance of blocking. Anybody can run the ball, Gore said. If you want to separate yourself, you ve got to do all three phases. That s why you see all the Miami backs around the league - Clinton Portis, Edgerrin James, Willis McGahee - they all block.

17 44 MORAN NORRIS (MORE - ann) FULLBACK A tough, hard-nosed fullback, Moran Norris rejoined the 49ers after spending the 2008 season as a member of the Detroit Lions. Norris, who is utilized as both a blocker and receiver, was the 49ers starting fullback from and helped RB Frank Gore to a Pro Bowl season with an NFC-leading and team-record 1,695 yds. in He is close friends with Gore off the field, traveling with the running back to Hawaii when Gore received his Pro Bowl bid HIGHLIGHTS: Tied his career-high with 3 receptions. Led the way blocking for RB Frank Gore, helping him set career-long runs twice. GOLDMINE: Norris can be found working within his community. In 2005, Moran founded the Moran Norris Foundation, seeking to help Houston-area students become champions in athletics, character and education. In San Francisco, Moran adopted a group of students in the Brother2Brother/ Sister2Sister Mentoring Program as part of his Foundation s initiatives. Moran has hosted the youngsters at 49ers games, provided them with financial support and taught them the importance of life skills, education, goal setting, hard work and good character. When I was growing up I remember this football player came, and he used to come and just talk to the kids, and I still remember that day. I felt if I ever had a chance to go back like that, I would do the same thing.

A special teams ace, he has totaled 70 special teams tackles in four seasons, which includes a career-high 27 stops in Robinson made the transition from college QB to a tough, powerful rusher upon joining the 49ers HIGHLIGHTS: third on the team with 11 special teams tackles.

19 ers wide receivers 83 ARNAZ BATTLE (ARR-nez) WIDE RECEIVER As one of the longest tenured 49ers on the team, Arnaz Battle has developed into an all-around threat as a receiver, blocker and returner. The former college quarterback progressed from a special teams standout during his first two years in San Francisco into one of the team s most reliable offensive players. Battle served as the primary punt and kickoff returner for the 49ers in 2004, and provides depth at both positions. A sixth-round selection in 2003, Battle has recorded 178 receptions for 2,150 yds. and 11 TDs in 79 career games. GOLDMINE: Arnaz s tough, hard-nosed play is described by some as competing with a chip on his shoulder. Arnaz however would express it as playing with an angel instead of a chip in remembrance of his younger brother, Brandon. When Arnaz was 9 years old, Brandon passed away in a tragic drowning accident. That memory is one from which Arnaz draws strength and inspiration. On his upper left arm appears a tattoo of his late brother s face that runs from the tip of his shoulder to his bicep. A quarterback for most of his collegiate career at Notre Dame, Arnaz transitioned to wide receiver as a rookie with the 49ers. Being an option quarterback, I initially didn t have the stride it took to be a receiver and open in and out of my routes. I was kind of choppy in my steps. Just putting all of that together, being in shape and getting my muscles stretched so I could extend my running form was probably the most challenging part of making the switch. I think as far as grasping the playbook and the terminology, I found that I was able to digest it much easier and faster having played the quarterback position. Arnaz learned his moves early on. His father played tight end at North Texas and with the St. Louis Rams for two seasons. By the time Battle became interested in football, his dad was mostly on the road as a truck driver, but when he came home, father and son played catch out in the yard.

20 88 ISAAC BRUCE WIDE RECEIVER One of the most productive receivers in NFL history, Isaac Bruce continues to reach new heights in his second year with the 49ers. A four-time Pro Bowler in 14 seasons with the St. Louis Rams, he is known for his precise route-running and tireless work ethic. Bruce ranks among the NFL s all-time leaders in several statistical categories. He ranks 2nd in career receiving yds. (15,134), 5th in career recepts. (1,018) and 9th in career TDs (91). Bruce is only the second player in NFL history to eclipse 15,000 yds. receiving HIGHLIGHTS: receiving yards at Arz. (9/13). Frank Gore rush for two career-long runs vs. Sea. (9/20).
