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 (1981-92) 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.

THE LAST TIME ATLANTA 20, SAN FRANCISCO 17 At Atlanta, GA, November 4, 2007 The Atlanta Falcons handed the 49ers their 6th consecutive loss with a 20-16 victory at the Georgia Dome. The 49ers 2nd half comeback attempt was halted by two drives deep in Atlanta territory that ended in FGs rather than TDs, and two turnovers that were converted into 6 Atlanta points. Atlanta converted a fumble into a FG and a Smith INT at the San Francisco 15-yd. line into another FG. After falling behind 14-7 at halftime, the 49ers opened the 3rd quarter with a drive to the Atlanta 31-yd. line to set up a 49-yd. field goal by PK Joe Nedney. The 49ers appeared to get a break on the next series when S Michael Lewis intercepted a QB Joe Harrington pass inside Atlanta territory to give the 49ers a 1st down at the Atlanta 33-yd. line. The 49ers moved to the 14-yd. line before being forced to settle for a FG to make it a one point game at 14-13. San Francisco s next two drives ended in turnovers. The 49ers defense held Atlanta following a QB Alex Smith INT that gave Atlanta a 1st down at the San Francisco 40-yd. line. Then Falcons DE John Abraham forced a fumble on a sack of Smith, allowing the Falcons start a drive at the 36-yd. line. That turnover was converted into a 33-yd. FG by PK Morten Andersen. The 49ers responded on the ensuing drive and seemed poised to take the lead after reaching the Atlanta 1-yd. line. Smith completed a short pass to TE Vernon Davis down to the 1-yd. line, setting up a 3rd-and-goal situation. RB Michael Robinson was stuffed on the next play for a 3-yd. loss, and the 49ers were forced to settle for a 22-yd. Nedney field goal to close the Atlanta lead to 17-16. With 2:29 to play and the 49ers backed at their own 3-yd. line, Smith was intercepted by CB DeAngelo Hall. Hall s 18-yd. return to the 15-yd. line set up a 27-yd. FG by Andersen for a 20-16 Atlanta lead. San Francisco got the ball back with 1:10 to play, but Smith threw his third INT of the day to clinch the win. The 49ers opened the game with an impressive 59-yd. drive that was culminated with a 9-yd. TD run by RB Maurice Hicks. Atlanta countered with a 70-yd. TD drive to even the score and then took the lead in the 2nd quarter after converting a 4thdown play and a 3rd-and-short to set up a TD and a 14-7 halftime lead. Robinson and Hicks filled in at running back for an injured Frank Gore (ankle).

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. Returner Allen Rossum - Intense. He s set such a high standard that we re all buying into. He s giving you a chance to reach the potential that you probably never thought that you could reach. 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 rejoins the 49ers after originally serving as the San Francisco s wide receivers coach in 1977. 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 (1983-84, 91), Tampa Bay Bucs (1985-86), New England Patriots (1990), Kansas City Chiefs (1998-2000), Washington Redskins (2001) and Oakland Raiders (2004-05). 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 (1979-84, 86-88) and Philadelphia Eagles (1989-90). 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 (2006-07) 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 1997-2002. 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 (1986-94). 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

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WR ISAAC BRUCE Needs 2 more starts to reach 200 for his career. RB FRANK GORE Needs 318 rushing yards to become just the 5th player in franchise history to register 5,000 career rushing yards. Needs 22 attempts to reach 1,000 career attempts. Tied with RB Garrison Hearst for 2nd in team history with 16 career 100-yard games. Needs 5 more to pass RB Joe Perry (20). Ranks 10th in franchise history with 6,164 yards from scrimmage in his career. Needs 500 yds. to pass WR Gene Washington for 9th on the all-time list. QB SHAUN HILL With a win, will improve his overall record as a starter to 11-4 and his record at home to 8-0. K JOE NEDNEY With 1,009 career points, Nedney is the 42nd player to reach the 1,000 point plateau for his career. S MARK ROMAN Will extend his streak to 101 consecutive games played. Ranks 2nd in the NFL among safeties for consecutive games played (Deon Grant, SEA 132). CB ALLEN ROSSUM Ranks 9th in NFL history with 3,018 punt return yards and needs 114 punt return yards to move into 8th place all-time. Needs 13 more return yards to reach 15,000 total return yards for his career. He would be the second player in the NFL history to surpass 15,000 return yards (Brian Mitchell - 19,013). DT JUSTIN SMITH Will extend his consecutive games started streak to 128. He leads all defensive linemen with 127 consecutive starts. TRUE IDENTITY One of the first orders of business 49ers head coach Mike Singletary wanted to address this offseason was the creation of an identity. 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. I think we ve proven that we can be a physical team, and we have to carry that into the season, game in and game out. We have to be tough, relentless and smart. As a quarterback I have to be smart, and I take being relentless to heart. Sometimes things don t always go the way you want them to, but as long as you re relentless and keep hacking at it, I feel that at the end of the game, we ll be on top. QB Shaun Hill We are building an identity of Champions. That s what our main focus has 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 We want to be known as a physical, fearless, relentless, smart and disciplined team that has a lot of toughness. We re coming in here every day and working hard and treating every play with physicalness. We want to be known as a smash-mouth team that doesn t beat themselves. I think that we ve accomplished that during this training camp. We ve identified 53 guys that are best qualified to meet those standards. T Joe Staley 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 INDIVIDUAL RANKINGS PLAYER NFL RK NFC RK CB DRE BLY Passes Defensed (6) 3t 1st WR ISAAC BRUCE Receptions (13) 66t 32t Receiving Yards (167) 57t 30t Third-down Receptions (6) 19t 9t CB NATE CLEMENTS Interceptions (1) 19t 12t Passes Defensed (6) 3t 1 TE VERNON DAVIS Receptions (17) Among TE s 9t 6t Receiving Yards (211) Among TE s 6 4 Receiving TDs (3) Among TE s 1 1 Receiving TDs (3) Among All Players 2t 2t FS DASHON GOLDSON Interceptions (1) 19t 12t RB FRANK GORE Rushing Yards (241) 19 10 Leading Scorers, non-kickers (24) 4t 2t Most Yards from Scrimmage (298) 32 15 Most Rushing Yards, Single Game (207) 1 1 QB SHAUN HILL Passer Rating (93.3) 11 6 4th Quarter Passer Rating (133.7) 3 2 Third-down Passer Rating (106.4) 4 4 P ANDY LEE Punting Average (48.1) 5 4 Net Punting Average (40.7) 10 6 DT RAY MCDONALD Sacks (2) 25t 11t PK JOE NEDNEY Leading scorers, kickers (30) 9t 4t Touchbacks on kickoffs (3) 14t 8t Field Goal Pct (85.7%) 9t 4t Field Goals Made (6) 9t 4t CB SHAWNTAE SPENCER Interceptions (1) 19t 12t LB PATRICK WILLIS Interceptions (2) 5t 4t Tackles (37) 6 4 Sacks (2.5) 20t 7t Defensive statistics are those provide by the league, not from coaches film review.

WINNING TRENDS Dating back to 2008, the 49ers have won five of their last six contests, and eight of their past 11 games. Aside from San Francisco and New Orleans, each team that has won at least eight of their last 11 regular season games had made it to the playoffs in 2008. Over the last 11 games, the 49ers have outscored their opponents 246-175 and have a perfect 5-0 record at Candlestick Park. MUSIC TO MY EARS in the trenches MOST WINS SINCE NOV. 16, 2008 TEAM WINS 1. Indianapolis 11 2. Minnesota 8 3t. San Francisco 8 Baltimore 8 New England 8 New York Giants 8 New Orleans 8 Pittsburgh 8 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 1983-84, 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 1983. 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 1998-2000. Having knowledge of Raye s past, Davis is looking forward to an increased role in the passing game in 2009. 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 three touchdown receptions are the most of any tight end in the NFL after four games, while his 211 receiving yards rank 6th in the league. Davis, who has 120 career receptions for 1,343 yards and 12 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. We feel that we can create some good mismatches with Vernon and Delanie (Walker), said QB Shaun Hill. They are very athletic for tight ends. If we can get them matched up in space we feel good about that. That is part of our emphasis, without a doubt.

They also have youth on their side. C Eric Heitmann, the old man of the group, is just 29 years old; G David Baas and T Adam Snyder are each 27; T Joe Staley is 24; and G Chilo Rachal is 23. I m excited for them and think they re going to continue to jell and continue to get better, said head coach Mike Singletary. The leaders of the offensive line are Heitmann and Staley. Heitmann, one of the longest-tenured 49ers, has been a mainstay on the offensive line since being drafted in the seventh round in 2002. He started his 102nd game last week and has a current streak of 36 consecutive starts. Staley, a first-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, has played nearly every possible snap on offense since entering the league. 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 2 giveaways over four games this season, while also recording 7 takeaways. The +5 turnover ratio is a stark contrast to the -17 differential from 2008, which ranked tied for 31st in the NFL. With the exception of Jacksonville, each team that has a +2 turnover ratio or better this season has a.500 winning percentage or higher.

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.

RED HOT IN THE RED ZONE San Francisco s offense has experienced success when entering the red zone, scoring 5 TDs in 8 red zone drives to rank 6th in the NFL and 2nd in the NFC with a 62.5 TD efficiency. The 49ers are one of two teams (New England) to put up points on every one of their red zone drives. RED ZONE TOUCHDOWN SCORING (2009) TEAM Drives TD TD EFFIC. 1t.

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. Since Manusky took over the 49ers defense in 2007, the results have been positive. 49ERS DEFENSIVE RANKINGS 2006 2007* 2008* 2009* Total Yards Per Game 26 25 13 6 Yards Per Play 25 16 11 3 Rush Yards Per Game 19 22 13 4 Rush Yards Per Attempt 16 5 8 4 Pass Yards Per Game 26 22 20 10 Pass Yards Per Attempt 25 21 15 5 3rd Down (%) 29 19 12 13 Sacks 22 21 15 t-6 Explosive Plays (20+ YDS) 26 12 2 t-8 Red Zone (TD%) 17 6 8 t-4 *Under Defensive Coordinator Greg Manusky Since November 16, 2008, the 49ers defense leads the NFC and ranks 6th among all NFL teams in limiting points by their opponents, allowing just 15.9 points per game to rank 4th overall during that span. The 49ers allowed just 16 points in the season opener against the Cardinals, 10 points against the Seahawks and 27 points against the Vikings (7 of which were from a kickoff returned for a TD), followed by the team s first shutout since 2002 against St. Louis. The 53 total points allowed ranks t-2nd in the NFL over the first 4 games of 2009. DOMINATING DEFENSE POINTS ALLOWED PER GAME SINCE 11/16/08 TEAM P/G 1. Pittsburgh 14.6 2. Indianapolis 14.8 3.

The unit also ranks 1st in the NFC and 4th in the NFL for average yards per carry (3.1) this year. San Francisco is one of two teams (Minnesota) to have not allowed a rushing touchdown on the year. Under defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, the 49ers defense has allowed a mere 3.71 yards per carry to rank 5th in the NFL since 2007.

NOT SO EASY San Francisco s defense has made it tough for opponents to move the ball, allowing just 4.35 yards per play to rank 3rd in the NFL.

The group ranks tied for 2nd in the NFL since 2007 with 4 blocked field goals, while also having returned the most blocked field goals for TDs (3) during that span. Last week against St. Louis, LB Scott McKillop recovered a muffed punt by Rams CB Quincy Butler in the end zone in the 2nd quarter. It marked the second consecutive week that the special teams unit registered a touchdown. Two weeks ago against Minnesota, DT Ray McDonald blocked a 44- yard field goal attempt by PK Ryan Longwell, which was scooped up by CB Nate Clements and returned 59 yards for a touchdown. The score occurred on the final play of the first half and gave the 49ers a 14-13 lead. The last time the 49ers blocked a field goal and returned it for a touchdown was at New York Giants (10/19/08), which was also returned by Clements (74-yard return). McDonald s previous blocked field goal, which came vs. Philadelphia (10/12/08), was also returned for a touchdown (CB Donald Strickland 41-yard return). The last time the 49ers recorded special teams touchdowns in two consecutive games was vs. Philadelphia (10/12/08) and at N.Y. Giants (10/19/08).

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 new 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.

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 also set a new career-high with 246 yards from scrimmage (207 rushing, 39 receiving) and it marked the first time in his career he registered 4 touchdowns over a two-game span. Obviously, it was a great day, said head coach Mike Singletary. It really was. It s a tribute to our offensive line. It s a tribute to Frank seeing the holes and hitting them. It s a tribute to our outside guys and our receivers doing a great job blocking. Everybody is doing their job in order for those things to happen. So, that s all good. rushing to the top Now in his 5th season with San Francisco, Gore has already moved into 5th place on the 49ers all-time rushing list.

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 probably 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.

44 MORAN NORRIS (MORE - ann) FULLBACK A tough, hard-nosed fullback, Moran Norris rejoins 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 2006-07 and helped RB Frank Gore to a Pro Bowl season with an NFC-leading and team-record 1,695 yds. in 2006. He is close friends with Gore off the field, traveling with the running back to Hawaii when Gore received his Pro Bowl bid. 2009 HIGHLIGHTS: Rushed for career high 15 yds. vs. Sea. (09/20). 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.

24 MICHAEL ROBINSON RUNNING BACK Michael Robinson has provided the 49ers with a consistent weapon on offense and special teams since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Robinson saw action at running back, fullback, quarterback and kickoff returner in 2008, as he was named a Pro Bowl alternate on special teams. A special teams ace, he has totaled 62 special teams tackles in just three seasons, which includes a career-high 27 stops in 2007. Robinson made the transition from college QB to a tough, powerful rusher upon joining the 49ers. GOLDMINE: One of the most athletic and versatile players on the team, Michael is equally adept off the playing field. At Penn State, Michael starred at quarterback and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors three times. More than a football player, Michael gained reporting experience covering Penn State Basketball and on CSTV s Penn State Primetime programs. Robinson has spent time in the television studio in the Bay Area, meeting reporters and gaining experience behind the camera, and also hosts a segment called The Robinson Report on 49ers.com. On April 2, 2008, ESPN The Magazine invited Michael to be an on-camera reporter at Baylor vs. Texas women s softball game on ESPNU.

2009 49ers 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 SF 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 177 receptions for 2,141 yds. and 11 TDs in 77 career games. 2009 HIGHLIGHTS: Registered his first punt return of the season vs. StL (10/4). 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.

He was named a 2009 finalist for the NFLPA s highest honor for community service after volunteering his time to numerous Community Tuesday events for the 49ers.

His writing courses were his most enjoyable at Virginia Tech. Josh wants to be a writer of some sort one day and he credits his parents as being the ones who instilled his love of writing as a way to keep him motivated and off the rough Washington D.C. streets where he grew up. Coming into his own When you initially look at his statistics, WR Josh Morgan s stat line doesn t jump off the page at you. But, when you take a look at his size, strength and potential (6-1, 219 lbs), that is what offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye is excited about. For a big-bodied guy his size, for a big receiver, he has excellent explosion, Raye said. He s an explosive guy and a great leaper. His circumference range, because of his arms, is very good. He can get to some balls with extension that some guys can t. Morgan is not only helping the offense in the receiving game, he is also blocking for the running game, both on the line and down field. On both of RB Frank Gore s record-setting runs vs. Seattle (9/20), Morgan was there with a block down field that helped spring Gore. Morgan registered his first touchdown reception of the season vs. St. Louis (10/4/09) on a 24-yard strike from QB Shaun Hill in the fourth quarter. With 9 receptions for 124 yards and one touchdown on the season, Morgan ranks second among 49ers receivers. He s such a hard worker and a good kid a good young man, said quarterback Shaun Hill. I can t say enough good things about him. Usually, whenever a receiver has a good work ethic, a good attitude and all that talent, something really good is going to happen for him. Morgan knows that it is going to take hard work and determination to be the receiver he knows he can be. I want everybody to say, Josh Morgan is our best receiver, Morgan said. I feel I can make a difference and be a big playmaker on this team, and that keeps me hungry. The sky s the limit, and I m not going to be satisfied until I reach my potential.

I know he told me last year that that s something he wanted to strive to be, said Singletary. I felt that this year, just simply by what many of his teammates have said, comments the coaches have made about the maturity level that Vernon has shown and the professionalism and the work ethic and all of those things, I m very excited about him. This is a great honor given to me by coach, Davis said. Being named a team captain just encourages me to play better, excel even higher in the upcoming games. I look forward to leading by example and most importantly, helping the team win [during] the 2009 season. With the team trailing 16-13 in the fourth quarter at Arizona (9/13), Davis and QB Shaun Hill connected four times for 35 yards on the gamewinning 15-play drive. I thought Vernon was a big part of some of the success that we had in throwing the ball, and Shaun Hill connecting with him, said Singletary. He has good hands. I saw him during the offseason catching balls in every situation, in every position.

85 VERNON DAVIS TIGHT END CONTINUED... TE Vernon Davis had one of his best games in his four-year career at Minnesota (9/27/09). He tied a career-high with 7 receptions, set a new career-high with 96 receiving yards and registered two touchdown receptions in the same game for the first time in his career. But all the personal success didn t mean anything to Davis because the team lost. I helped my team, Davis said. But it really doesn t mean anything to me because I want to win. I m not a selfish person. If I m the only one who did good, I m not happy. Midway through the fourth quarter, QB Shaun Hill connected with Davis on a 20-yard touchdown pass to put the 49ers ahead 24-20. DAVIS 2009 PROJECTED TOTALS Rec. Yds.

You can really start to see the work he s put in in the offseason. He s a great weapon for us. Davis leads the 49ers in receptions (17), receiving yards (211) and receiving touchdowns (3). He is one of two tight ends in the NFL that lead their team in all three categories (Kellen Winslow, TB). Davis three touchdown receptions are the most among all tight ends in the NFL. Although he has shown his ability through the first three weeks, both Davis and head coach Mike Singletary know that there is always room for improvement. I will just say that yesterday was an improvement for him, Singletary said. I think what Vernon is capable of is a lot better than yesterday. But, it was certainly a good game for him. It was taking another step, but I think if you ask Vernon, Vernon wants the ball. And Vernon is going to make plays. So, I just think I m thankful that he and Shaun were able to hook up as much as they were, but hopefully we see more of that in the future.
