THE LAST TIME October 3, 1999 – San Francisco 24, Tennessee 22

QB Jeff Garcia subbed for the injured QB Steve

Young and accounted for three touchdowns to pace the 49ers in a 24-22 victory over the visiting Tennessee Titans.

Tennessee jumped to a 10-0 lead early in the second-quarter following a 21-yard K Al Del Greco field goal and a 54-yard screen pass for a touchdown from QB Neil O’Donnell to RB Eddie George. San Francisco put its first points on the board at the 4:04 mark of the second quarter when Garcia capped an eight-play, 65-yard drive with a one-yard rushing touchdown. The run was Garcia’s first NFL touchdown.

On first down Garcia threw to RB Charlie Garner for seven yards. On the next play, Garcia found Garner streaking down the middle of the field and into the end zone for a 21-yard score and a 14-10 half-time lead.

Then one day his life took a fluke twist. Oregon’s quarterback ran the option in practice and was tackled by the team’s safety. On the same play, both suffered season-ending injuries. The backup quarterback was the second-string safety. Just two days later Oregon’s third-string safety flunked out of school. Within three days, Nolan had gone from a fourth-string walk-on to a starting safety in one of the nation’s toughest football conferences, the PAC-8. (Now the PAC-10). “I didn’t do anything to deserve those breaks,” said Nolan. “I grabbed my chance. I started for three years on scholarship.” A BLAST FROM THE PAST On the first day of training camp, Head Coach Mike Nolan showed the entire team a 20-minute video of the organization’s glorious past, featuring QB Y.A. Tittle and HB R.C. Owens. The video then went on to the 1980s with clips of Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott. At the end of the video Lott spoke about carrying a tradition of winning onto the next generation of players. NOLAN ON TRADITION Said Nolan, “It is one thing to walk into an organization and to have no history of success. That is a vast difference here with the 49ers. There is an expectation level of performance and you do have a responsibility to past players. That is the responsibility of the players, coaches and the entire organization to get this back on track.” NOLAN ON WINNING THE NFC WEST During Coach Mike Nolan’s press conference last Wednesday, he was asked when he would take down the “Win the West” sign that hangs outside of the locker room. “Never,” answered Nolan. That goal remains the same, and whether or not we reach it this season doesn’t really matter, the target hasn’t and won’t change. “I look at it this way, if you were going into battle and jumped in front of everybody and said come on guys about ¾ of you are going to die but let’s go get ‘em, you’d see ¾ of the guys say ‘I’m back here,’” said Nolan. “When you go forward, there is no choice in the leadership role. You have one choice, and that’s to lead and you don’t lead from a loser’s perspective. You lead from a winner’s perspective.”

FATHER KNOWS BEST

There are the Shula’s, the Phillips’s, the Mora’s and now the Nolan’s – the fourth NFL family to have a father and a son handle head-coaching roles.

Mike Nolan is following in the footsteps of his father, Dick Nolan, who served as 49ers coach from 1968-1975.

“There are a lot of great memories for me,” said Nolan about growing up watching his dad, Dick Nolan, coach. “I had a great relationship with a lot of the players, like Dave Wilcox (49ers linebacker from 1964-74). For them to throw me a towel was a big deal.”

Nolan is also the second NFL head-coach son of a head-coach father to follow a father who was an NFL defensive back. Dick Nolan was a cornerback and safety for the New York Giants and Chicago Cardinals from 1954-1961, playing in the Giants NFL Championship games in 1956, 1959 and 1961.

The other NFL DB who produced an NFL head coach (David Shula) was Don Shula, who played the position for Cleveland, Baltimore and Washington from 1951-1957.

BORN TO PLAY Mike Nolan is one of four Head Coaches in NFL history whose father played in the NFL. The others are Joe Walton, Bill Belichick and David Shula. Steve Belichick 1941 Detroit Lions Dick Nolan 1954-61 NY Giants/Arizona/Dallas Frank Walton 1944-45 Washington Redskins Don Shula 1951-57 Cleveland/Baltimore/Washington LORD OF THE RINGS The night before Mike Nolan’s first game, his oldest brother Rook met him at the team hotel with a special gift. The gift was his father, Dick Nolan’s, 1956 NFL championship ring that he earned as a defensive back with the New York Giants. The ring was given to Rook when he moved out of the family house. Rook, who took his name since he was born during his father’s rookie season in 1954, thought Mike should wear the ring during his first regular-season game as head coach. The younger Nolan wore the ring with the face down close to his palm. "I wasn't sure if it would distract me, so I put it on this way,'' Nolan explained. He wore it simply because his brother had asked, out of sentiment, not as a good-luck charm. He wanted to make it clear that he isn't superstitious as he didn’t wear the ring against Philadelphia. "If I have any superstitions, it's to make sure I'm not,'' he said.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT THE

49ERS MIKE HOLMGREN ON VICE PRESIDENT OF PLAYER PERSONNEL SCOT MCCLOUGHAN Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren worked with McCloughan in Green Bay before bringing him to Seattle and gave a lot of the credit of the organization’s success to McCloughan. “With the exception of the rookies that we drafted last year, Scot and Ted Thompson (Green Bay’s General Manager) are responsible,” said Holmgren of building the team. “Scot is a college guy and he had a say in all those fellows that helped build this team. I’ll give him a lot of credit for that. “I think Scot is one of the bright young talents in this league,” observed Holmgren. “I fought like crazy to keep him here. He was given the opportunity to go to San Francisco in a very responsible position. He did the right thing for himself and his family, but having said that, I wish that he was still here. He knows football and he will work very hard. The personnel department is in good hands there.”

RON WOLF ON SCOT MCCLOUGHAN As one of the most respected executives in the history of the National Football League, Ron Wolf developed an eye for talent during his legendary career that included building a Super Bowl Championship team as the General Manager of the Green Bay Packers. And one of his first moves upon taking over in Green Bay was the hiring of Scot McCloughan.

“He was one of my first hires when I went to Green Bay. I did that because he came highly recommended. One of my best friends is his dad, who was a great player and a scout with the Raiders and is still a scout with the Raiders,” Wolf said. “What happened with Scot was he came in there and we had a little procedure that we used to see whether a person could do this, being a scout or not, and he passed with flying colors, hired him and he never disappointed.”

As Wolf said, McCloughan passed the test, a personnel evaluation, with flying colors and his career took off from there. After spending four years with the Packers, McCloughan moved on to Seattle where he served as the Director of College Scouting for five seasons. So what is it that has accounted for McCloughan’s fast track run up the NFL ladder?

“Number one, he’s very good at what he does. He has a tremendous desire to improve. He knows he’s not going to be perfect in what he does, but he understands what this whole process is about. He was brought up the right way,” Wolf said. “He learned from his father then he got into the business on his own. He has an exceptional eye for talent. He learns very quickly. I’m sure that he won’t have any problem adjusting to the nuances of the National Football League and the rules and regulations that are involved there because he is very bright and confident.”

McCloughan is also relatively young (34) for someone in his position. “No problem,” says Wolf.

“I think the fact that the success and the experience that he’s had in Seattle, I don’t think age matters here. It goes without stating that in today’s football, it really has become a young man’s game,” Wolf said. “He’s a young man and he will be able to withstand all of the pressures that go along with that job.” MIKE MCCARTHY Mike McCarthy earned a reputation as a developer of quarterbacks during his 12 seasons in the National Football League, having tutored Pro Bowlers Rich Gannon in Kansas City, Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck in Green Bay and Jeff Blake, Jake Delhomme and Aaron Brooks in New Orleans.

Former Dallas Cowboys FB Darryl Johnston and current FOX commentator recently said, “Mike is an excellent teacher and has had success wherever he has coached. As long as Alex Smith and the rest of the 49ers offense follows McCarthy, the offense will develop much like the Cowboys team I was a part of that started at 1-15 in 1989 before developing into a Super Bowl team.”

Said McCarthy on the ways he works to develop an offense, “Number one, you have to build a system. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in the West Coast system my whole coaching career. I think Bill Walsh when he looks around and sees all the different variations, he probably shakes his head because he obviously ran it in its purest stages and was obviously very successful with that. But, we’re going to use the system, the terminology, the principles that obviously started with the 49ers in the glory days.

We’re going to put our players in the best position to be successful. I always felt the beauty of the West Coast system is that it gives you great flexibility to operate in. Whether you want to change by design, injury or whatever the need is, you have great flexibility to do that.” JOHNNY PARKER Johnny Parker is in his first season with the 49ers as strength and conditioning coach. Parker is an 18-year NFL veteran who has spent time with Tampa Bay (2002), New England (1993-99) and the New York Giants (1984-92).

MORE ON PARKER Parker has reached the Super Bowl in each of his previous NFL stops. In his only season in Tampa Bay in 2002, the Buccaneers captured their first Super Bowl title. He was part of the Giants staff that guided the team to wins in Super Bowls XXI and XXV. He was also a member of the Patriots staff that advanced to Super Bowl XXXI. New York Giants Defensive End Michael Strahan RE: San Francisco 49ers Performance: “The 49ers have been up and down a bit this year, but they played pretty hard against us (11-6-05). They are going to cause problems for a lot of teams as they continue developing together.” New York Giants Running Back Tiki Barber RE: Giants rushing game against the 49ers: “It was a tough sled. This is a defense that plays very well. They’re very aggressive and they always keep an extra guy down in the box. It was tough yardage all day. Two or three yards at a time, a couple of 10 yarders, but it was a grind it out game.” Seattle Seahawks Running Back Shaun Alexander RE: The 49ers defensive performance “They change things up on us. They were in places that we didn’t expect. They did a good job forcing us to do different things. Their ‘X’s and O’s’ were very good. They put us in some tough situations.” Seattle Seahawks Running Back Shaun Alexander RE: The 49ers defensive performance “Give them credit, they played hard all day. They fought hard all the way and made it close at the end. They’re going to be a good team. They’ve got good coaching and a lot of good players on defense. They have a very good front seven and they have some young players who weren’t in there early in the season but are now making contributions.

OFFENSE NOTES

BIG PLAY BRANDON Pretty soon, the B in WR Brandon Lloyd’s nickname will stand for big-play. The third-year pro from Illinois has emerged as a bonafide deep threat. Lloyd had his first career 100-yard receiving game after finishing with four catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns against Dallas (9-26-05). His previous best was 93 yards receiving at the New York Jets (10-17-04). The Dallas game marked another milestone for Lloyd, as he had the first two-touchdown game of his career with an 89-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and a 13-yard reception in the third quarter. He is tied for first in the NFC with 18.2 yards per catch and has added four touchdowns on the year. NFC YARDS PER CATCH LEADERS NAME TEAM REC YDS AVG.

LONG CATCH Brandon’s Lloyd’s 44-yard reception in the second quarter against Seattle (11-20-05) tied for the third longest reception of this career. He had a 44-yard reception vs. Seattle (12-26-03). Those two catches are third to the 52-yarder he had at St. Louis (12-5-04) and the 89-yard touchdown pass he had vs. Dallas (9-25) earlier in the season. ANOTHER CAREER DAY Brandon Lloyd established a CAREER-HIGH with seven receptions against Arizona (10-2-05), besting the six he had at the New York Jets (10-17-04). Lloyd had his second NFL 100-yard receiving day against the Cardinals after finishing with seven receptions for 102 yards. He had his first 100-yard receiving day vs. Dallas (9-25-05) when he finished with four receptions for 142 yards and matched that effort against Seattle (11-20-05) with seven receptions for 119 yards. PASSING THE CENTURY Brandon Lloyd had his third 100-yard receiving game of the season and in his NFL career after finishing with seven receptions for 119 yards against Seattle (11-20-05). Lloyd had four receptions for a career-high 142 yards vs. Dallas (9-25-05) and then had seven receptions for 102 yards the next week at Arizona (10-2-05). Lloyd’s seven receptions against Seattle matched the seven he had in the Cardinals game for a career-high. LLOYD’S 100-YARD RECEIVING GAMES OPP DATE REC YDS AVG. TD Dallas 9-25-05 4 142 35.5 2 Arizona 10-2-05 7 102 14.6 0 Seattle 11-20-05 7 119 17.0 1 J MOTION WR Johnnie Morton comes to the 49ers from the Kansas City Chiefs, immediately establishing himself as the team’s most experienced receiver. He enters his 12th season in the NFL and continued his penchant for big plays with a 30-yard reception with against St. Louis (9-11-05). He has 16 catches for 184 yards on the season. BATTLE TESTED WR Arnaz Battle became a significant contributor on both special teams and at wide receiver, seeing action in 14 games during the 2004 campaign. He set a CAREER-HIGH with eight receptions last season. Battle led the team in receptions in the team’s first three contests and has a CAREER-HIGH 18 receptions for 189 yards and two scores. SLASH A multi-purpose threat, wide receiver Arnaz Battle even relived some of his college quarterbacking days from the Fighting Irish as he completed two passes for 27 yards against St. Louis (9-11-05). Battle, a former college quarterback at Notre Dame who idolized Joe Montana as a youth in Shreveport, Louisiana (he even wore Montana’s #3 at Notre Dame), completed his first NFL pass with a 24-connection pass with Brandon Lloyd in the second quarter. Battle completed his second pass of the game later in the second quarter with a three yard pass to RB Frank Gore. BORN TO RUN RB Kevan Barlow looks to regain the form that led him to become a 1,000-yard rusher in only four starts. 2004, however, was not lost for Barlow as he established several CAREER-HIGHS last season. He rushed for a CAREER-HIGH seven touchdowns in 14 starts, tied his CAREER-HIGH with 35 receptions and he led the team with a CAREER-HIGH 244 carries last season. He leads the team in rushing with 151 carries for 508 yards. He is on pace to finish the season with 812 yards. If he breaks 1,000 yards it will be Barlow’s second career 1,000 yard rushing season. He rushed for 1,024 yards in 2003.

100 YARDS AND RUNNING Kevan Barlow had his first 100-yard game of the season and the fifth of his career after finishing with 101 yards rushing on 26 attempts for a 3.9-yard average against Tampa Bay (10-30-05). Barlow’s previous best running effort of the 2005 season came vs. Indianapolis (10-9-05) when he ran for 99 yards. It was Barlow’s first 100-yard rushing effort since he had 103 in the season-ending game of the 2004 season at New England (1-2-05). The 49ers are 3-2 when Barlow rushes for 100 yards or more. FINDING HIS STRIDE Kevan Barlow had his best rushing game of the season against Tampa Bay’s top-rated defense (10-30-05). He finished the game with 26 carries for 101 yards. Barlow’s 26 rushing attempts are second to the 30 he had at Philadelphia (12-21-03). Barlow’s 29-yard run at the end of the first half helped set up a 47-yard field goal by Joe Nedney. The 29-yard jaunt is Barlow’s longest run of the 2005 season, besting the 27-yard run he had in the third quarter vs. Dallas (9-25).

ROOKIE RECORD With 65 carries for 326 yards and one touchdown, rookie running back Frank Gore is on pace for over 500 yards. If he continues the pace, Gore will have one of the top rushing performances for a 49ers rookie.

He rushed for one score and tied a 49ers single-game mark for most touches in a single game with 39. Hicks became just the third 49er and first 49ers free agent to rush for over 100 yards in his first career start. 49ERS RUNNING BACKS WITH 100 YARDS OR MORE IN FIRST CAREER START Kevan Barlow (vs. Ari - 2003) 18-154 Maurice Hicks (at Ari - 2004) 34-139 Ricky Watters (at NYG – 1992) 13-100 RUNNING HARD Maurice Hicks, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee following the Tampa Bay game (10-30-05), returned after missing two games against Seattle (11-20-05) and made an immediate impact. Hicks took his first rushing attempt of the 2005 season for a 50-yard run in the third quarter. It is the longest run of his NFL career, besting the 35-yard run vs. Carolina (11-14-04). Hicks finished the game with 11 carries for 83 yards. LEFT ADDITION As the first major free agent signing of the 2005 season, T Jonas Jennings started all 52 games during his four seasons with the Buffalo Bills (2001-2004). He was a major factor in Buffalo rookie running back Willis McGahee’s 1,128-yard season in 2004. The 6-3, 325 pound product from Georgia started three games in 2005 before being put on injured reserve with shoulder surgery. A music aficionado, Jennings has a pre-game ritual of listening to his custom iPod before the game. With over 8,000 tracks, Jennings prepares himself by listening to everything from blues, gospel and R&B. JONAS JENNINGS ON MIKE NOLAN Jonas Jennings was one of the most sought after free agents in the 2005 offseason. He acknowledged that you have to have a great organization with a clear voice from the top when he decided on where he would play in 2005. He respects first-year Head Coach Mike Nolan and is in step with his vision to return San Francisco to the NFL’s marquee franchise. “I am all about starting from ground zero. Even growing up in the projects and making it to where I am now,” Jennings said. “It has always been that way for me, so it is nothing for me to adapt to that. We all knew it was a going to take a little time, but we don’t look at it like a rebuilding season. Coach Nolan’s plan and my goals for the team are the same. They are beautiful together. That is why I did not need to take any more trips after that. I was ready to get started.”

PASSING THE ROOKIE TEST G/T Adam Snyder, the team’s third-round draft pick from Oregon, took over as the starting left tackle in place of T Anthony Clement against Seattle (11-20-05) and played well. Clement had been starting at left tackle in place of the injured Jonas Jennings (shoulder). Against Chicago (11-6-05) Snyder made his first NFL start at right guard when Eric Heitmann moved from guard to center when Jeremy Newberry was inactive to rest his knee and shoulder injuries. HIGH PRAISE FOR SNYDER Against Seattle (11-20-05), the 6-foot-6, 325-pound Adam Snyder was plugged in as the starting left tackle and not only drew praise from his side of the field but also from the opposition, specifically from veteran defensive end Grant Wistrom of the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks. Wistrom, a 6-4, 272-pound is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, but he wasn't able to make much headway with Snyder most of the afternoon. Of Seattle's four sacks, Wistrom didn't have any. By day's end, he seemed convinced the 49ers just might have a solid prospect with their third-round draft pick. "He did a pretty darn good job," Wistrom said. "He works hard and tries to finish plays. I didn't have much film on him, but you can tell he's no quitter." When told of Wistrom's remarks, the young 49er beamed. "I knew going into the game that he was going to be a guy who would play 60 minutes," said Snyder, an All-Pacific-10 choice as a senior left tackle. "So, to hear something like that from a guy like him means something." MARKED IMPROVEMENT Although the 49ers had only 208 yards of total offense against Tampa Bay (10-30-05), the game was a breakthrough of sorts for the offensive line. The 49ers offense did now allow any sacks for the first time since a game at Baltimore (11-30-03). San Francisco did not have any turnovers for the first time since playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers (11-17-03). PUTTING THE WORK IN Ken Dorsey began the season as the emergency third quarterback behind both Tim Ratty and Alex Smith. Following the trade of Tim Rattay to Tampa Bay on October 18, Dorsey was bumped to the second-string quarterback. Since the third quarterback usually does not get many snaps during practice, Dorsey would spent an additional 45 minutes after practice on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s working on his technique’s by throwing passes to practice squad players or using a net as an imaginary receiver. He started his first game of the season against Tampa Bay (10-30-05). Said Dorsey on his promotion to the backup quarterback role, “It motivates you even that much harder, because the coaches have put their trust in you to do the job. They entrusted with a job, and I intend to do that job to the best of my ability.” HARD WORK PAYS OFF Ken Dorsey made his second start of the 2005 season against Seattle (11-20-05), finishing 18-of-29 for 249 yards with one touchdown for a 101.1 quarterback rating. Dorsey finished with a CAREER-HIGH 249 yards passing, besting the 206 yards he had vs. Washington (12-18-04). Dorsey added a long 44-yard completion to Brandon Lloyd in the game. It is the second longest completion of his career to the 59-yard pass he had to Rashaun Woods at New England (1-2-05).

COWBOY PICKETT QB Cody Pickett played on both special teams and also played in relief of Ken Dorsey at quarterback in the fourth quarter. He registered his first special teams tackle while seeing action on the 49ers punt team in the fourth quarter and completed one pass for 10 yards to WR Brandon Lloyd on the next series. It was Pickett’s first action at quarterback the game vs. Buffalo (12-26-04). He had to change his helmet in between series from a regular helmet to a quarterback helmet to receive the signals. A versatile athlete, Pickett played wide receiver and safety on the scout team before the move back to quarterback. THE RODEO WAY Cody Pickett was a four-sport athlete in football, basketball, golf and rodeo at Caldwell (ID) High School. He qualified for National Rodeo Finals (team roper) in 1997, 1998 and 1999 and led the Southern Idaho Conference in rebounds with over 10 per game on basketball court and earned Idaho State Player of the Year honors in hoops. His father, Dee, was a championship roper on the professional rodeo circuit and was a 1984 World Champion Cowboy. Dee was inducted into Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in August of 2003 and previously played quarterback at Boise State. FOURTH QB Cody Pickett became the fourth quarterback to start a game for the 49ers vs. the New York Giants (11-6-05). The others are Tim Rattay, Alex Smith and Ken Dorsey. With Pickett becoming the 49ers' fourth starter at quarterback this season, it marks the first time since 1974 that the team has started four different signal callers during a season. That season the four starters were Joe Reed, Dennis Morrison, Tom Owen and Norm Snead.

But No. 7 wasn’t available when I was a freshman at Utah, so I chose No. 11. By the time No. 7 was free, people identified me with No. 11, so I decided to stick with it. I want to create my own way in the NFL, not take a number that was associated with another player. I want the number 11 to remind people of Alex Smith.”

DEFENSE NOTES

YOUNG AGAIN DE Bryant Young had a memorable season opener against St. Louis (9-11-05). Young paced the 49ers with three of San Francisco’s seven sacks. His three first half sacks, tied a CAREER-HIGH set coincidentally against St. Louis (10-6-96). The last player to notch three sacks on opening day was Kenard Lang of the Cleveland Browns (9-12-04) vs. Baltimore. MULTI-SACK Bryant Young had his third-multiple sack of the 2005 season after finishing with two against Tampa Bay (10-30-05). It was his 20th multiple sack game of his career. He finished with three sacks vs. St. Louis (9-11-05) and two sacks at Arizona (10-2-05). Young forced a fumble on a six-yard sack QB Chris Simms that was recovered by LB Julian Peterson at the Tampa Bay 26-yard line with 1:42 left to play and then clinched the victory with a two-yard sack of Simms on the game’s final play.

ELDER STATESMAN With his three sacks against St. Louis (9-11-05), one against Dallas (9-25-05) and two against Arizona (10-2-05), Bryant Young is in sole possession of third place on the 49ers all-time sack list with 77.5 sacks. 49ERS ALL-TIME SACK LEADERS Cedrick Hardman (1970-79) 112.5 Tommy Hart (1968-77) 106.0 Bryant Young (1994-curr.) 77.5 Charles Haley (1986-91,1999) 66.5 FOREVER YOUNG Bryant Young was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week following the 49ers opening day win vs. St. Louis (9-11-05) when he matched his 2004 season total of 3.0 sacks with three against the Rams. He is on pace for 14.2 sacks which would easily surpass his CAREER-HIGH of 11.5 sacks in 1996 and is on pace for his third double digit sack season (11.5 sacks in 1996 and 11.0 sacks in 1999).

It marked the fifth time (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004) he received the award. He is the first five-time winner of the award in team history. SMITH SCORES Derek Smith recovered a touchdown in the end zone against Arizona (10-3-05) for the second in his NFL career. Smith last scored on a 46-yard fumble that was returned for a touchdown vs. Miami (11-28-04) last season. THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE LB Derek Smith reached the 100-tackle mark for the eighth straight year, tying fellow linebacker Jeff Ulbrich for the team lead with 167 in 2004. Smith has reached the 100-tackle mark every year of his career. Smith leads the team with 88 tackles. He is on pace to finish the season with 140 total tackles. Smith has added one interception and four passes defensed on the season.

He started all 64 games while he played with Chicago (1998-01) and has started all 56 games with the 49ers (2002-05). Parrish started in one postseason game with the Bears (2001) and two postseason games with San Francisco (2002) before breaking his leg against Chicago (11-13-05). PARRISH PEAKS Tony Parrish’s 34-yard second-quarter pick against Dallas (9-25-05) was his second career interception return for a touchdown. His other trip into the end zone was when he was a member of the Chicago Bears. He returned a 38-yard interception for a touchdown against Tampa Bay (11-17-00). It was also the first 49ers interception return for a touchdown since cornerback Ahmed Plummer’s 68-yard scamper against Chicago (9-7-03). BALL HAWK Tony Parrish led the 49ers in interceptions for the third-straight season with four interceptions in 2004. He tied a CAREER-HIGH with two interceptions at Tampa Bay (11/21/04).

Sammy Knight MIA 18 DOUBLE THE MONEY Tony Parrish had two picks against Dallas (9-25-05). It was his fourth two-interception game and first two-interception game since he had two at Tampa Bay (11-21) last season. BACK ON THE ATTACK LB Julian Peterson got off to a hot start in 2004, notching 34 tackles (19 solo), 2.5 sacks and two passes defended in his first five games, but was sidelined with a season-ending Achilles injury five games into the season in a game vs. Arizona (10-10-04). He returned with a vengeance in 2005 notching 2.5 sacks, eight tackles and one pass defensed in his debut against the St. Louis Rams (9-11-05). He leads the 49ers linebackers with 2.5 sacks and has 40.5 tackles one fumble recovery and four passes defensed on the season.

SAFETY FIRST From special teams standout to starter in one short year, Mike Adams has firmly established himself as a force in the secondary. Adams stepped into action from the practice squad and provided depth and playmaking ability to an injured 49ers secondary in 2004. A speedy cover man with ample size, Adams has impressive ball-hawking skills as evidenced by his first quarter interception that sealed the 49ers opening day victory against the St. Louis Rams. With the loss of Tony Parrish to injury, Adams has had to become the leader of the secondary by making all of the calls. He is second on the team with 51 tackles and has one fumble recovery and one sack on the season. “It was cool. I talked to Tony before the game. He called me to let me know about extra things to watch out for. I guess he’s been watching film while he’s in a cast. I felt comfortable. I gave all of the right calls and got everyone lined up.” TOP-FLIGHT Since 2002, Peterson ranks second in among the NFC linebackers in total sacks. Peterson finished the game against St. Louis (9-11-05) with eight tackles and 2.5 sacks. The 2.5 sacks are a career-high, besting the 2.0 sacks he had three times (most recently at St. Louis 9-14-03). TOTAL SACKS FOR NFC LINEBACKERS, 2002-05

CONVERSION LB Andre Carter has made an impact with his size and speed, moving from the defensive end position to outside linebacker. Carter was hampered by a back injury in 2004 and is looking to regain the form that produced 27.5 sacks from 2001-03. He had three tackles and 0.5 sacks at his debut in the new position against St. Louis (9-11-05). He added four tackles against Dallas (9-26-05). Carter was the first defender in the NFL to notch a sack against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts (10-9-05) and has 20.5 tackles on the season. He added another sack against Tampa Bay (10-30-05) and Seattle (11-20-05). Carter now has 30.5 career sacks and is tenth place on the 49ers all-time sack list. NOSE FOR THE BALL Cornerback Derrick Johnson’s 78-yard touchdown return against Arizona (10-2-05) is the fifth longest fumble return for a touchdown in team history. The rookie corner from Washington became the second member of the 49ers 2005 rookie class to start when he lined up at left cornerback due to the injury to Ahmed Plummer (ankle). He has shown a knack for turnovers, picking off from the preseason where he had three interceptions (one for a touchdown) and a fumble recovery. Johnson also notched his first career sack against Tampa Bay (10-30-05) LONGEST FUMBLE RETURNS FOR A TOUCHDOWN 99t Don Griffith vs. Chicago December 23, 1991 96t Lee Woodall vs. Buffalo December 3, 1995 80t Dwaine Carpenter at Chicago October 31, 2004 80t Dwight Hicks at Washington October 4, 1981 78t Derrick Johnson at Arizona October 2, 2005 SPENCER SHINES Second year cornerback Shawntae Spencer has emerged as one of the top young cornerbacks in the NFL.

He has added to that impressive total in 2005 with 49 tackles, a team leading seven passes defensed and two interceptions on the season.

PRACTICE SQUAD MAKES PERFECT First-year cornerback Bruce Thornton made his first NFL start when he lined up at left cornerback in place of the injured Ahmed Plummer (ankle) vs. Indianapolis (10-16-05). He had his first career interception in the third quarter when he picked off a QB Peyton Manning pass that was intended to WR Marvin Harrison in the end zone. In fact, Thornton limited the explosive receiver to only two catches for 17 yards. Matched up against the receiver all game, Thornton finished with an interception, two tackles and one pass defensed. For his performance, Thornton received honorable mention by the NFL for its defensive player of the week. Thornton has 12 tackles and six passes defensed on the season. DEFENSIVE SCORES The 49ers jumped to a 14-0 first quarter lead on two fumbles that were returned for a touchdown against Arizona (10-2-05). On the game’s first play, DT Bryant Young forced QB Josh McCown to fumble on a nine-yard sack. LB Brandon Moore recovered the ball at the Arizona ten-yard line and advanced to the one before he fumbled the ball into end zone where LB Derek Smith recovered for a touchdown. Later in the first quarter, DT Travis Hall forced RB Marcel Shipp to fumble and rookie CB Derrick Johnson scooped up the loose ball and raced 78 yards for a touchdown. DEFENSIVE SCORES PART TWO Against Arizona (10-2-05), the 49ers scored on two fumbles that were returned for touchdowns. This was the first time this happened since November 14, 1965 in a 27-21 win at Detroit. LB Dave Wilcox scored on an eight-yard return and DE Clark Miller scored on a 75-yard return. It was the first time the 49ers had two defensive touchdowns in a game since October 28, 2001 at Chicago in a 37-31 overtime loss. In that game, LB Julian Peterson scored on a 26-yard interception return and S Zack Bronson scored on a 97-yard interception return.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

SPECIAL TEAMS RANKINGS Despite a host of injuries to key players on offense and defense, San Francisco’s special teams unit has held steady and provided consistency throughout the season. San Francisco ranks sixth in the NFL, averaging only 20.5 yards per kickoff return. Furthermore, the team has allowed only 7.6 yards per punt return with no touchdowns. ACTION JACKSON RB Terry Jackson is making a name for himself as one of the NFL’s most-reliable special teams players, notching 94 career special teams tackles during his six NFL seasons. He came close to besting his CAREER-HIGH 22 special teams tackles set in 2002 after finishing with 17 last season. Against St. Louis (9-11-05), Jackson recovered an onside kick in the second quarter and notched another against Indianapolis (10-9-05). It was the first successful onside kick for the 49ers since 10-5-87 at the NY Giants. He is first on the team with 16 special teams tackles. OTIS MY MAN Otis Amey returned a second-quarter punt 75 yards for a touchdown on opening week. The play changed the momentum of San Francisco’s 28-25 victory against St. Louis. He was the fifth 49ers rookie to return a punt for a touchdown and the first to do so on a punt return. He also became the second 49ers player to score a touchdown on his first touch. WR Nate Singleton’s first NFL reception was a six-yarder from QB Steve Young on September 18, 1993 vs. Atlanta during the third game of his rookie season. It was the 49ers sixth-longest punt return for a touchdown by a 49ers rookie. Hugh McElhenny established the team mark with a 94-yard punt returned for a touchdown vs. Chicago on October 16, 1952.

Here is a list of other 49ers that set and maintained the precedence of scoring a touchdown on their first touch: Player Scoring Play Date Opp. Joe Perry 58-yard TD run 8-29-48 Buffalo Hugh McElhenny 42-yard TD run 8-24-52 Chicago John H.

After being known as Fred Amey all through training came, Amey let team officials know that he refers to be called by his middle name – Otis. If Amey keeps playing like he did in his debut, the 49ers will be happy to keep calling him whatever he wants. COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR K Joe Nedney has never missed a field goal (56 of 56) of less than 30 yards during his nine NFL seasons. Nedney is looking to bounce back from a season-ending hamstring injury in 2004 that sidelined him for the entire campaign while playing for Tennessee. He is 18-20 on field goals attempts this season and is a worthy candidate for NFL Comeback Player of the Year. CAREER DAY Joe Nedney set a CAREER-HIGH with five field goals against Tampa Bay (10-30-05). He had four field goals in a game six times. The last time he had four field goals in a game was at Baltimore (11-24-02) when he played for Tennessee. Nedney’s five field goals are one shy of the 49ers team record. Jeff Wilkins had six field goals vs. Atlanta (9-29-96) and Ray Wersching had six at New Orleans (10-16-83). Four of Nedney’s five field goals were from 40-plus yards (45, 47, 41 and 46), the most ever in a single game from the 40-49-yard range for Nedney. LONG KICK Joe Nedney kicked a 48-yard field goal and a 52-yard field goal in the third quarter against the New York Giants (11-6-06). His 52-yarder is one shy of his record. Nedney kicked a 53-yarder two times in his career -- at Detroit (11-1-98) while a member of Arizona and at Dallas (9-15-02) while with Tennessee. GREAT STRETCH Before San Francisco’s game against Seattle (11-20-05) Joe Nedney scored 43 points in a row for the 49ers, the most consecutive points by one player since Matt Stover had 49 in a row for the 2000 Ravens. Nedney has scored 14 field goals in the last four games. Nedney finished 3-of-4 at Chicago (11-13-05). He finished 5-of-6 with four field goals from over 40 yards (40, 47, 41 and 46) vs. Tampa Bay (10-30-05). He was good on a 48-yarder and a 52-yarder vs. the Giants (11-6-05). He finished 3-of-4 at Chicago and 4-of-4 (33, 31, 40 and 22) against Seattle. DANDY ANDY In 2004, P Andy Lee punted 96 times for 3,990 yards and a 41.6-yard average. The last time a 49ers punter averaged over 40 yards per punt was 1998, when Reggie Roby averaged 41.9 yards. Lee sailed the fourth-longest punt in team history with an 81-yard bomb at Tampa Bay (11/21/04). It was his career best and the longest punt of the year in the NFL, making him the first 49ers rookie to notch the longest punt of the year since Larry Barnes did it with an 86-yarder in his 1957 rookie season. In 2005, Lee has fared well, placing 11 kicks inside the 20-yard line. He has a 42.5 gross average and has not had a punt blocked this season.

LONGEST PUNTS IN 49ERS HISTORY Player Yards Game Larry Barnes 86 vs. Chicago Cardinals (9/29/57) Tommy Davis 82 vs. Minnesota (9/30/62) Tommy Davis 81 at St. Louis (11/25/62) Andy Lee 81 at Tampa Bay (11/21/04) SNAP – ON One of the NFL’s elite long snappers, Brian Jennings was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2004 as a “need player,” handling the long-snapping duties. Jennings Pro Bowl selection marked the 24th consecutive season that the 49ers were represented by at least one player. He was named honorable mention NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his play in the blustery wind against Chicago (11-6-05). SPECIAL DELIVERY S Keith Lewis made a name for himself by making game-changing plays on special teams. He became the first player in 49ers history to block a punt (vs. Washington 12-18-04), force a fumble (vs. TB 11-21-04) and recover a fumble (at Arizona 12-12-04) in the same season. Lewis tied for second on the team with 17 special teams tackles. MOORE OF A GOOD THING LB Brandon Moore has been a special teams demon and filled in admirably at linebacker. Moore saw his most significant action of the season in the fourth quarter against Dallas when he filled in for Julian Peterson after Peterson left with a hamstring strain. Moore finished with his second career NFL sack on a seven-yard sack of QB Drew Bledsoe in the fourth quarter against Dallas (9-25-05) and added another against Washington (10-23-05). Moore had his first career interception against Tampa Bay (10-30-05). It was his first interception at any level (high school, college or professional). A LOOK BACK AT DICK AND MIKE NOLAN Dick Nolan was named head coach of the 49ers on January 19, 1968. Mike Nolan was named head coach of the 49ers on January 19, 2005 Passing the Torch - It was 1968 when Dick Nolan took over as the 49ers leader on the gridiron. He inherited a 7-7 squad in San Francisco after leaving his post as a defensive coach for the Dallas Cowboys. After just two seasons, Dick bolstered his roster and captured three straight NFC West Divisional Championships (1970-72) while his teams made two NFL Championship appearances. During that span, his son, Mike, could be found scampering around the 49ers locker room and intently watching his father’s every coaching move on the practice field. Several decades later, Mike Nolan has picked up where his father left off. He became the 15th head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and is ready to ignite his father’s winning chemistry in his 2005 inaugural squad. The two are now not only bound by blood, but by history, tradition and a faithful following in San Francisco. Here’s a look at some of Dick and Mike Nolan’s career highlights.

RICHARD C. ‘DICK’ NOLAN - 49ers Head Coach

1968 – 1975 Dick Nolan’s NFL Career

• New York Giants’ third round selection from Maryland in 1954 collegiate draft.

• Started as a rookie at right cornerback and teamed with Tom Landry (left cornerback) in 1954 and 1955, and with Ed Hughes in 1956-57.

• Traded to Chicago Cardinals in 1958 for E Pat Summerall and HB Lindon Crow.

• Returned to the Giants as a safety from 1959 – 1961.

• Joined Tom Landry’s Dallas Cowboys as a player/coach in 1962.

Dick Nolan’s NFL Coaching Highlights • When he joined the 49ers as head coach, Nolan

installed the Dallas Cowboys’ “Flex” defensive scheme.

• Nolan moved the 49ers Training Camp from St. Mary’s College (Moraga) to the UC-Santa Barbara campus at Goleta in 1968.

• Acquired Dallas Cowboys’ linebacker Harold Hays to strengthen the 49ers’ linebacker corps.

• With the loss of 49ers’ All-Pro WR David Parks to free agency (New Orleans Saints), Nolan acquired Cleveland Browns’ reserve WR Clifton McNeil (Grambling) for a high draft choice on September 2, 1968 (four days before the final exhibition game).

• Clifton McNeil’s first season as an NFL starter results in his selection to the 1968 Pro Bowl and being named First Team All-Pro. McNeil is 49ers’ team leader in receiving (71 for 994 yards and seven touchdowns).

• Nolan leads the 49ers to post-season play in just his third season as a head coach (1970). It marked the 49ers’ first appearance in the playoffs since 1957.

• The 49ers participated in the playoffs from 1970 – 1972, being stopped by Dallas in all three appearances.

• Nolan’s toughest defeat came at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys in the 1972 NFC Playoff Game at San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium. With less than two minutes remaining in the game and the 49ers up 28-16, QB Roger Staubach rallied his Cowboys for two touchdowns in the final 1:10. With just 0:56 seconds remaining in the game, Staubach took the snap from center and threw a ten-yard strike to reserve E Ron Sellers who curled in front of 49ers DB Windlan Hall at the goal line to complete the Cowboys’ 30-28 come-from-behind victory. It marked the last time the 49ers would advance to the playoffs until 1981.

Mike Nolan’s NFL Coaching Highlights

• Launched his coaching career as a graduate

assistant at his alma mater, Oregon in 1981. • Held positions as a linebackers or defensive

backs coach at Stanford, Rice and LSU from 1982-86 before joining the NFL ranks under former Broncos’ coach Dan Reeves.

• Nolan went on to serve as defensive coordinator for the NY Giants (1993-96), Washington (1997-99), NY Jets (2000) before joining Baltimore in 2001 where he was the Ravens wide receiver coach.

• In 2002, he became the defensive coordinator for Baltimore and coached eight rookies on the defensive roster by season’s end. Baltimore finished first in the AFC with a team-record 25 interceptions and was second in the NFL in fewest yards per rush.

• In 2003, Nolan’s defense finished third in the NFL. Baltimore ranked first in the AFC with 17 fumble recoveries and led the NFL in sacks (47).

• Nolan was named to USA Today’s All-Joe Team following the 2003 season and NFL Assistant Coach of the Year by the Football Digest. LB Ray Lewis was named the AP’s NFL Defensive Player of the Year. LB Terrell Suggs was named the AP’s NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year while setting a Ravens’ rookie record with 12 sacks.

• In 2004, Nolan’s defense finished tied for second in the NFL in average rush per carry (3.6 yards). S Ed Reed was named the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

• Over the past two seasons, Nolan’s defenses have yielded nine Pro Bowl starters. His stingy defensive units also produced the last two NFL Defensive Players of the Year.

PROBABLE STARTERS NOTES OFFENSE WR Arnaz Battle has emerged as a multi-purpose threat with 18 catches for 199 yards and two touchdowns. He led the team in reception in each of the team’s first three games. Battle has also completed two passes for 27 yards for a 118.8 quarterback rating. WR Brandon Lloyd caught the 49ers first touchdown of 2005 on a 35-yard reception against the Rams. He leads the team with a 18.6 average per catch. Lloyd also paces the team with 30 catches for 547 yards. LT Adam Snyder took over as the starting left tackle in place of T Anthony Clement against Seattle (11-20-05) and played well. Clement had been starting at left tackle in place of the injured Jonas Jennings (shoulder). Against Chicago (11-6-05) Snyder made his first NFL start at right guard when Eric Heitmann moved from guard to center when Jeremy Newberry was inactive to rest his knee and shoulder injuries. LG Justin Smiley enters his second NFL season with 16 games of rookie action notched in his belt. He has started all 10 games in 2005. **PRO BOWL PERFORMER C Jeremy Newberry missed the entire training camp with a knee injury that limited him to just one game last season. He returned to play in the final-preseason game at San Diego. Head Coach Mike Nolan plans to limit the two-time Pro Bowler to one practice a week in order to help rest his knee. The rest has paid dividends as Newberry has started every game in 2005. RG Eric Heitmann took the reins at right guard after playing center during the preseason in place of Jeremy Newberry while he was rehabilitating his knee. Heitmann played in every offensive snap in 2004 from the left guard post. The versatile lineman was the first rookie to start a game on the offensive line (2002) since 1987, when Harris Barton started at right tackle. He also started at center against Chicago (11-14-05). RT Kwame Harris enters his third NFL season, Harris made the move back to his natural right tackle post in 2005, a position he manned throughout his college career at Stanford and at Newark (DE) High School. TE Billy Bajema has started five games as a rookie in 2005. The seventh round draft pick out of Oklahoma State has caught three catches for 29 yards on the season and is a key special teams performer. RB Kevan Barlow looks to bolster the team’s running game. Barlow handled the bulk of the load in 2004, leading the team with 244 carries for 822 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns. He rushed for a season high 99 yards against the Indianapolis Colts (10-9-05) and leads the team with 150 rushes for 503 yards and two touchdowns. He also has great hands as evident by his 25 catches for 194 yards. **PRO BOWL PERFORMER FB Fred Beasley is one of the best blocking fullbacks in the NFL. The two-time Pro Bowler is a key component in paving the way in both the running and passing game. QB Ken Dorsey made his second start of the 2005 season against Seattle (11-20-05), finishing 18-of-29 for 249 yards with one touchdown for a 101.1 quarterback rating. Dorsey finished with a CAREER-HIGH 249 yards passing, besting the 206 yards he had vs. Washington (12-18-04). Dorsey added a long 44-yard completion to Brandon Lloyd in the game. It is the second longest completion of his career to the 59-yard pass he had to Rashaun Woods at New England (1-2-05).

PROBABLE STARTERS NOTES DEFENSE **PRO BOWL PERFORMER LDE Bryant Young has played and started in 165 career games in San Francisco. Young has been voted to four Pro Bowls and has been a terror after making the move to defensive end in the 49ers new 3-4 scheme. He has 8.0 sacks on the season. NT Anthony Adams has the work ethic and desire to tie up two offensive linemen as the anchor of the 49ers three-man front. He established a career-high with 61 tackles in 2004 and added a sack against Philadelphia (9-18-05) and Tampa Bay (10-30-05). RDE Marques Douglas joins the 49ers from Baltimore, where he played for three seasons under Mike Nolan. Douglas has played in 40 career starts, notching 201 tackles and 12 sacks for 90 yards heading into the 2005 campaign. He notched his first sack of the season against Philadelphia (9-18-05) and added a fumble recovery against Dallas (9-25-05). **PRO BOWL PERFORMER LOLB Julian Peterson has moved full steam ahead in 2005 after an Achilles injury cut his 2004 season short. Peterson has been voted to the Pro Bowl twice. Peterson had 2.5 sacks and eight tackles in the season opener against St. Louis (9-11-05). He notched a key fumble recovery against Tampa Bay (10-30-05). LILB Brandon Moore made his second start of the season against Washington (10-23-05). In the Arizona game on (10-2-05) he started in place of LB Julian Peterson (hamstring). Against Washington he started at linebacker in place of Jeff Ulbrich (biceps) and Saleem Rasheed (knee). Moore had his second sack of the season on a seven-yard sack of QB Mark Brunell in the first quarter (10-23-05). He added his first career interception at any level against Tampa Bay (10-30-05). **PRO BOWL PERFORMER RILB Derek Smith joins DE Marques Douglas as one of Mike Nolan’s former defensive students having played under his direction in Washington from 1997-99. He leads the team with 88 tackles. ROLB Andre Carter bounced back from a serious back injury in 2004 and has made strides in his conversion from defensive end to outside linebacker. The former first-round pick has 3.5 sacks on the season. LCB Bruce Thornton made his first NFL start when he lined up at left cornerback in place of the injured Ahmed Plummer (ankle). He had his first career interception in the third quarter when he picked off a QB Peyton Manning pass that was intended to WR Marvin Harrison in the end zone. He has started the last six games. RCB Shawntae Spencer saw action in 16 games in 2004 and ranked third in the NFL among rookies with 12 starts at the corner position. Spencer had a team-high 12 passes defensed in 2004 and is on pace to better that mark with four in 2005. He added his first career interception against Tampa Bay (10-30-05) and had another against the New York Giants (11-6-05). SS Ben Emanuel Ben Emanuel took over as the starting strong safety in place of Tony Parrish, who was placed on injured reserve on Monday with a fractured fibula. It was Emanuel’s first start in the base defense. He started for the first time in his NFL career vs. NY Giants on (11-6-05) at linebacker in the 49ers “dime” package. FS Mike Adams work ethic and attitude have allowed him to make the transition from special teams standout to NFL starter. The undrafted free agent from Delaware moved from nickel corner to safety against Arizona. He has one interception and one sack on the season.
