I like how Anthony Davis has played the last 3 games

[Yadahell]

Very impressed with AD's development. Much better technique and much better execution as the year has gone on. He's got a bit of a mean streak too which I'm also digging.

I was afraid Anthony Davis was gonna be another Kwame Harris, but I'm not really worried about him any more. He's been steadily improving over the season.

it's staley that has me worried. although davis still has issues with speed rushers

Davis has been solid more and more as the season passes... Also the penalties have been cut down, the A-Train certianly has showen growth.

But this sunday, facing either tuck, osi or Kiwanuka.... that's another test for our big man...

 

[Mozart'sGhost]

Davis has been getting better and Staley seems to have at least stopped regressing. The O Line is above average as a whole and that is far better than we used to have so I'll take it.

agree, they've improved so much over pre-season and i'll take it. always felt Anthony Davis would be fine, similar with Crabtree.

This Giants team is similar to DET in their ability to get to the QB, but not so similar in that they have more speed and less strength. This simple fact worries the hell out of me because of our OL's history with not being able to contain speed rushers consistently. This is a question not a smart ass comment....have we played a team this year that a) possessed similar pass rushing skillsets that the Giants do and b) was our OL able to handle them? I cannot think of anyone but the Lions....

yep, the Giants and Steelers will be good tests and help us see where the breakdowns might be? especially the Steelers cause they can apply 'speed rushers' from both sides.

but good learning tool in preparation for the play-offs. i'm sure the Saints will try the same thing should we meet them?

Optimists will see this as the start of something good

For the first time since the first two games of his NFL career Anthony Davis (+1.5) has graded positively for consecutive performances as a pass protector. For the first time ever in his career Davis has graded positively overall in consecutive games. Now the Browns and the Redskins may not have the most fearsome pass rushes in the league, but this still can be seen as a measure of progress for Davis who has done nothing of any consequence on a consistent basis to this point in his NFL career. Davis was perfect in pass protection this week, as Ryan Kerrigan got his pressure against Adam Snyder and because Alex Smith held the ball too long. Two games are just two games, but for a first round pick who has produced so little to this point for the 49ers this is a modicum of progress and they must hope a sign of things to come.

Better than the alternative!

Been noticeably better this year for how bad he played last year. Dude's still very young and developing.

I noticed he was given help last game, and that's what he desperately needed last year. We were sending out two man routes with max protection on a handful of plays because of Orakpo and Kerrigan. Expect some more of that vs. the Giants.

Eagles, maybe, with Babin and Cole. They gave us (especially Davis) some trouble in the first half, but we seemed to adjust in the second. Cowboys, though neither Ware nor Spencer are really speed guys as such.

We will see how much our offensive line has improved. The Giants have multiple DE's that can rush the passer. The o-lines strength is run blocking, the giants d line is good at rushing the passer. It's going to be a heat check for our line

 

[CalamityX11]

We can outpower them and move them out of the way. I feel our OL is becoming that stout enough to do so, however, we need to get in front of them and stay in front vs their spins, rip off or any other pass rush move.

Staley needs to play super... not so much worried with Davis though... it's all speed with some bull from the NYG DEs

 

[EaseUrStorm]

This should also be a test on our CB's not named Rogers. Giants are 6th in passing yards this year. If they can keep our nickel off the field and get their TE's going, they could do some big damage if we can't get heat on Eli. Hopefully we can win the turnover battle and shut them down in the red zone.

Their run defense doesn't scare me, but Gore won't be 100% either. Hunter needs to step up in this one and make a big play or two. Good game to get something out of Vernon Davis.
