I'm not sure exactly what's up with Brian Quick. However, I believe Fish & Cigs are more than a little disenchanted with Cookie's insufficient contributions and will try to involve more Kenny, Tavon, & Sted in the offense. Lance Hendricks should be back with his repaired digit and should team up with Cory Harkey or Justice Cunningham to provide extra blocking for TGII. It's high time Nick started playing off the attention Todd's rushing provides.
I am hoping for a big pass rush day, especially if our anemic offense begins to rise like the legendary phoenix with renewed life & vitality. This game needs to be somewhat of a dress rehearsal for the Vikings game next weekend. If Carlos Hyde is truly unavailable, you have to expect the '9ers to make up for his absence with more Kap scrambles. I'm not as concerned with Reggie Bush's rushing, although he can be a pain in the tush in the passing game. The Horns simply gotta tackle big Anquan Boldin efficiently today---no broken tackles on short gainers leading to substantial yardage. He is Kap's favorite weapon downfield whereas Torrey Smith serves as their deep threat.
Greg the Leg needs to get over the FG heebie-jeebies and bear down for the playoff push. We may need clutch kicks in some of the upcoming games so he needs to start putting them through with high efficiency now, even the long ones.
