If you picked up the 49ers D/ST for fantasy football this week as a sleeper D, you were very happy. In my league, they scored the most points, with 31. And if you like the 49ers, well then, you were very happy, too.
The 49ers destroyed the St. Louis Rams 35-0 behind 3 total defensive and special teams touchdowns and 2 passing touchdowns by Shaun Hill.
After a slow start offensively, the 49ers defense and offense poured it on in the second half with 4 TDs.
After the first 4 offensive possessions for the 49ers ended punt, punt, missed fg, punt, you just wanted to say, "Get on with it 9ers, stop messing around!" But the 49ers caught a huge break when Andy Lee's punt bounced off the leg of an outside special teams blocker and rookie linebacker Scott McKillop recovered it in the endzone to give San Francisco a 7-0 lead.
San Francisco didn't score any more and led 7-0 going into the third quarter. But Shaun Hill and Vernon Davis changed that on the 9ers' 2nd possession of the 2nd half. Josh Morgan gained big yards on a screen pass and Vernon Davis scored his 3rd TD of the year on a 13 yard pass. The catch was almost identical to his last TD against the Vikings.
The theme in the 2nd half was scoring in spurts and 3 plays later Kyle Boller, who was filling in for an injured Marc Bulger, tried an across the field pass on 3rd and 8. Patrick Willis preyed on the pass and picked it off, easily taking it in 23 yards for a TD.
Willis, the 2 time pro-bowler, had a monster game with that INT, 8 tackles and 2.5 sacks.
Josh Morgan started the 4th quarter with an impressive leaping catch for a 25 yard TD to give the 49ers a 28-0 lead. Morgan had missed a deep throw from Hill earlier that surely would have resulted in a TD, and it was good to see Hill still have confidence in his young WR.
14 seconds later the Rams fumbled on an end around and Ray McDonald recovered the fumble and rumbled into the end zone from 11 yards out. Last game against the Vikings McDonald had the key block of a Ryan Longwell field goal that allowed Nate Clements to run it back for a TD from 59 yards. McDonald's TD was the last for the 49ers and put them up 35-0.
Glen Coffee rushed 24 times for 74 yards and caught 4 passes for 32 yards in his start in place of injured RB Frank Gore.
Shaun Hill was 14-24 with 152 yards and 2 TDs.
