Niners pulled that one out of their a$$! I just hope it's a Niners vs Seahawks NFC Championship Game.
I thought LMJ played really well last year as the backup when Hunter went down. He certainly averaged more per carry than Hunter is this year. Maybe they don't like his blocking? He has a slight fumbling issue too, but I think he could be used more as well. KR/PR is actually a pretty important position in football though, very under-rated.
I wouldn't say the niners are deep with talent at rb. Hunter is a change of pace guy and the rest are all unproven guys.
Check out this helmet to helmet hit which drew no penalty, then Brooks literally touches Matt Ryan and it's a flag, (and the Whitner BS call). This shit is called so inconsistantly, and can determine the outcome of a game. It should be challengeble.
