PATRICK WILLIS is out with a severe ankle injury. It sucks losing Revis, but trust me 9ers losing Willis is huge.
Maybe if u sit Greene. I like Powell's running style much better, he doesn't give up like a pussy when he gets hit.
He's a very good pass rusher, but he isn't great against the run and he is terrible in coverage. If he's lined up on Howard, they better help him out with Powell/Greene/Reuland.
Cro is pretty damn good. We Jets fans are spoiled with both of them. It's just extremely hard to compare anybody to Revis, though. The 49ers just happen to have two of the best ILBs in the game.
Good thing they have the 2nd best ILB... Navorro Bowman. Running the ball will be a huge challenge. Powell better receive a lot of carries.
The bigger issue is the guys after Cro moving up a spot. Kyle Wilson has to step up and Ellis Lankster will get playing time. We saw the Dolphins target Wilson heavily after Revis went down this afternoon.
I agree. Wilson plays the nickel well, but outside, he doesn't look the same. It's weird because usually players get better moving to the outside. Supposedly, Lankster was impressive in training camp. I haven't seen to much to be impressed with.
