NFL team: 49ers pre-season in the defense and counterattack.

NFL players are the best players, they carefully every game, as the NFL fan I pride. 49ers is my favorite football team, they do in the preseason defense and counterattack are very great. All of the key contributors for the 49ers at DB from last season are back. Carlos Rogers, Tarrell Brown, Donte Whitner, and Dashon Goldson all return, and are healthy. Finding the guys behind these guys is key. At CB, the 49ers have plenty of guys—Chris Culliver, a big contributor from last season, new guy Parrish Cox (battling Culliver), and Tramaine Brock. Expect those guys to make the team. Instead, watch Darcel McBath and Cory Nelms, in a pass heavy league, carrying six corners is almost required. One of those guys will make it.

At safety, the battle is even more wide open. Goldson and Whitner are secure, as is CJ Spillman (thanks to his special teams contributions). Who else will make the team? Colin Jones is a second year player, and Trenton Robinson and Michael Thomas are both rookies. One of those three will make it, and maybe two. If I had to pick one? Michael Thomas. The kid can play football. He is not the best athlete, but he has instincts and he knows the defense (he played under Harbaugh at Stanford).
