Perhaps you've already noticed, but there is a new feature to the blog these days. There is now a forum.

In the past, the comments section under my blog posts has been open season to discuss all topics. Now, there is an actual forum in which subjects involving the 49ers, the NFL, the draft and miscellaneous sports can be freely discussed.

Feel free to get the ball rolling. Hopefully, the ball rolls smoothly. As always, there will be zero tolerance for inappropriate language and remarks.

The 49ers were pretty good statistically against the run this season, as they tied for 13^th in the league in yards rushing allowed per game. They were eighth in the league in rushing average, surrendering just 3.8 yards per rushing attempt.
