Joshua Morgan, Ted Ginn Jr, Patrick Willis, Delaine Walker, Joe Staley, Braylon Edwards.  Ok, why did I just list off those players?  Well, those are the players that have been injured in the last 4 weeks (or for the year) for the 49ers.  My point, any week, anybody can get injured on any play.  We play the freaking St Louis Rams (thank you NFL Schedule making Gods) this week.  So should the 49ers sit their star players?

You can present an argument for both.  One goes, if the 49ers get a bye, which it looks like they will.  If they sit their starters those players will have sat for 2 straight weeks going into the next game.  The other, Frank Gore is injury prone, he should sit.  Edwards has been banged up all year, sit him.  Willis, is a beast and is backup is very good, sit him, he can wake up after a year of not playing and kill people.  Tell me I’m wrong, sit him.

But what should the 49ers do with the others?  My answer after the jump, plus our fan poll where you decide.

Run Against The 49ers At Your Own Risk - Niner Noise - Niner Noise - A San Francisco 49ers Blog

The 49ers own the second best rushing defense in the NFL this season they have shut down many of the top running backs in the NFL already this season. The defense in San Francisco  is dominated and what makes it go is its unrelenting run defense. Led by inside linebackers Patrick Willis and first year starter Navarro Bowman who rank 3rd and 7th  currently in tackles in the NFL the group hasn’t allowed a 100 yard rusher in an NFL record 28 consecutive games.

In fact only one running back this season has rushed more 37 yards against the 49ers  when Cedric Bensen  rushed for 64 yards on 17 carries. Three of the six running backs the 49ers faced rushed for less than 30 yards. The 49ers so far have shut down Marshawn Lynch  33 yards 13 carries 2.5 avg, Felix Jones  25 yards 9 carries 2.8 avg, LeShaun McCoy  18 yards, 9 carries, 2.0 avg, LeGarrette Blount  34 yards, 10 carries, 3.4 avg, and Jahvid Best  37 yards, 12 carries, 3.1 avg.  Nobody and I mean nobody is gaining any yardage against this team.
