by Paul Sakuma - AP View full size photo » I listened to yesterday's game on the radio through my cell phone so I wasn't able to see the action. It was kind of fun listening to the game, but football is definitely easier to follow on tv. When I got home last night I re-watched the game (I had DVR'd it) and one thing jumped out at me. Michael Crabtree seems to be showing quite a...

49ers WR Michael Crabtree picked a good time to score his first touchdown last week at Green Bay heading into a great matchup this week against the Jaguars. With Rashean Mathis (groin) out, Crabtree can take advantage of a depleted secondary, which just allowed Buffalo WR Terrell Owens to catch nine passes for 197 yards and a touchdown.

... repaired one now, but I’m pretty sure it’s good enough to do some damage against the Browns. Michael Crabtree, WR, 49ers vs. Jags: He finally scored his first NFL touchdown last week against Green Bay. This week brings the Jaguars secondary to San Francisco, and I could see Crabtree doubling up quickly. The Jaguars have allowed the second most fantasy points to wide receivers,...

It's the end of the decade. So it's time for some lists. Today's list is the Worst NFL Draft Picks of the past decade. 11. Darrius Heyward-Bey, #7, 2009: It's probably way too early to declare Heyward-Bey a bust but given the Raiders track record, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility. Through 11 games Heyward-Bey has just 9 receptions. Meanwhile, Michael Crabtree the receiver...

... conference yesterday . After last week's lost at Green Bay, we heard comments by Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree about putting more of a spread look into the offense. They felt this gave the team the most success. Yesterday, I think we learned a lot about the way this team operates, and also the way Mike Singletary really runs things. Singletary mentioned how some of the players...

... information, so I want to make sure I know what that information is. Earlier this season, as the Michael Crabtree holdout saga dragged on, one of the many frustrations came from the fact that the 49ers might need to spend another high pick on a wide receiver. The 49ers do have the spare first round pick, but most of us probably felt even without Crabtree, wide receiver was...

... as he spread the ball around to all his targets rather than focusing solely on Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree. Josh Morgan had 6 catches and Delanie Walker contributed 4, to go along with Davis' 6, Crabtree's 4 and Frank Gore's 7. As a by-product of the aggressive passing attack, the Niners didn't get their running game going really at all on Sunday, but they didn't need...

... Gore had seven catches, Josh Morgan and Davis six each and four apiece from Delanie Walker and Michael Crabtree. "The absolute best thing that happened this week was I saw leadership on the offensive side of the ball," Singletary said. "In terms of: 'Coach, this is what I think would work. This is what I think we need. Can we do this? Can we do more spread? Can we put...

... Gore had seven catches, Josh Morgan and Davis six each and four apiece from Delanie Walker and Michael Crabtree. Josh Scobee kicked a 32-yard field goal for the Jaguars (6-5), but also missed wide left on a 40-yard try early in the second quarter and his 21-yarder in the fourth hit the left upright. He made a disgusted face afterward. What is it about these West Coast woes for Jacksonville?...

... career (assuming he signs an extension soon (he's a free agent after NEXT season)? The addition of Michael Crabtree will probably cut into his numbers. As long as the 49ers are winning I don't care who's catching what. However, I'm curious how a guy like Crabtree (and even Morgan if you want to include him) will affect the numbers of The Disease. One could argue having another...

... young players available for Sunday will make up the nucleus of the receiving corps going forward. Michael Crabtree, 22, and Josh Morgan, 24, will start the game. Brandon Jones, 27, and Jason Hill, 24, will be their backups. Hill will enter the game in three-receiver formations. Singletary said Morgan likely will return kickoffs, something he did in the second half of Sunday's loss...
