Saints vs 49ers

NFL Pre-Season Week 1 New Orleans vs San Francisco 

Fantasy Analysis:

The 49ers allowed 6 sacks in the first half several slamming starting QB Alex Smith.  However RB Frank Gore was productive when asked to carry the ball averaging 5 yards a carry on 4 attempts.

Another RB who showed positive signs was Saints rookie Mark Ingram averaging 3.8 yards a carry and one that was a 14 yard dart for a TD.

Fellow Saints RB Pierre Thomas was a dismal 4 attempts for only 8 yards rushing.  Thomas a veteran RB with the Saints is a huge question mark this year after spending most of 2010 out with injury.

Free agent and former Jet Braylon Edwards was on the radar catching one pass for 12 yards and was targeted twice in the game.  Always good to see newly acquired players involved in the game plan.  

Last but not least Saints QB Drew Brees did play with limited snaps.
