Randy Moss' 2012 role
11:17AM ET
Randy Moss | 49ers
After a season away from professional football, this is not quite the Randy Moss we remember. As opposed to staying on the field for just about every one of his team's offensive snaps, Moss has played in around a third of them this season for the San Francisco 49ers. And while that would have riled up the Randy Moss of old, the new version is seemingly fine with his diminished impact, as Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle writes this week.
"Nobody around here ever gets caught up with 'The Guy' terminology," Niners HC Jim Harbaugh said Monday, addressing a question on Moss needing to be the top weapon in an offensive arsenal. "It's about us; it's about the team. And Randy, there's no evidence that he's concerned about 'The Guy' tag. He knows football. He knows the team that plays best is going to win the game. He's been about that."
There have been hints that the 49ers will limit Moss in certain contests and set him loose in others. This week -- against Moss' former team, the Minnesota Vikings -- may be one of the latter variety, but Harbaugh wasn't offering any clues. As an occasional player, Moss can still be quite dangerous in the right spots, but as ESPN NFC West blogger Mike Sando writes, this is more an indication of the Niners' offensive scheme than anything else:
Mike Sando
Niners like multiple TEs, RBs on the field
"Three receivers played more snaps than Randy Moss played. The 49ers don't need regular contributions from Moss. Perhaps they're keeping him fresh. They use two tight ends and/or two backs frequently enough to diminish the need for third receivers. Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham were the only San Francisco receivers to play a majority of snaps on offense. Kyle Williams was a distant third at 35 percent, followed by Moss at 25 percent."

On paper, the Texans look like they deserve this.

Wasn't there some uproar in July or August when oddsmakers had the 49ers as favorites to get to the super bowl, either tied with or better odds than the Packers? I seem to recall a yahoo story

49ers Vernon Davis goes with celebratory jump shot - Yahoo! Sports
WR and return man Ted Ginn Jr. said he believes his right ankle will be strong enough that he could play for the first time this year Sunday at Minnesota. ''I hope so,'' he said. ''It's better.''

As they should... Harbaugh likes Ali, so I'll use a boxing joke now. I'll even throw in an obscure Sports Illustrated article that I read.... dun dun dun
Lets not turn the Vikings into Buster Douglass, I don't want to read about the Vikings daily activities 10 years from now... of getting on their motorcycle every day to go rent a new movie at Blockbuster. That's one way to spend the 30 million dollar purse, bike, blockbuster, movie, home... repeat.
I say again, lets not turn the Vikings into Buster Douglass

Going against the two scariest players in all of football in back-to-back weeks and maybe the three scariest in back-to-back-to-back weeks. Ahhh.

49ers Blog and Q&A: Vikings Peterson could get more carries against 49ers defense
"We think he's getting to that point where we can think about a few more carries," Frazier said. "He's getting close to that point, so we'll see how he does this week in practice. ... We've been rotating him and Toby every other series, but we're going to see how he does this week in practice."
