KEY GAME INFORMATION
SAN FRANCISCO: The 49ers have a big, man-blocking offensive line and frequently use either a fullback or a second tight end. The backfield is a committee, but there are plenty of touches to go around. Frank Gore is still the leader, getting a feature back workload for all intents and purposes, and Kendall Hunter will spell him in their more traditional looks. They'll also run a ton of zone read stuff for Colin Kaepernick, and will use second-year man LaMichael James in those packages more frequently. Converted defensive end Bruce Miller is strictly a blocker at fullback. Marcus Lattimore will likely have a redshirt year. It's a lot of play-action, pistol formations and a lot of moving around for Kaepernick. His No. 1 target Michael Crabtree will be sidelined until at least December, and is more of a possession receiver, while TE Vernon Davis is going to stretch the field more often than either starting receiver. The Niners don't use a lot of three- and four-receiver looks, but they could rotate A.J. Jenkins into the game more often to provide more long speed on the outside. Mario Manningham is a question mark for the start of the season coming off torn knee ligaments. Gore takes about half their touches inside the 10 and will maintain goal line duties. They will let Kaepernick do his thing near the goal line. The 49ers defense was truly elite last year (17.1 PPG allowed, 2nd in NFL; 294 total YPG allowed, 3rd in NFL). It might be even better in 2013 after adding CB Nnamdi Asomugha, rookie FS Eric Reid and DT Glenn Dorsey. DEs Aldon Smith (19.5 sacks) and Justin Smith are both healthy, and ILBs NaVorro Bowman (148 tackles) and Patrick Willis (120 tackles) comprise the best linebacker duo in the NFL. CB Tarell Brown (13 PD) is an underrated corner and SS Donte Whitner provides quite a wallop when making a tackle.
ST LOUIS: Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has always been more of a finesse coach, and the loss of Steven Jackson will force him away from the ground game. They may have to install some more zone looks, with outside runner Daryl Richardson the only proven back on the roster. Isaiah Pead, more of a one-cut back, has a shot at a bigger role after a poor showing as a rookie, as does rookie Zac Stacy. There's a chance big back Terrance Ganaway could work his way into the rotation, as the team's only true power runner. The Rams will spread it out and go with a lot of short, catch-and-run stuff. Rookie Tavon Austin steps into Danny Amendola's slot position and should lead the team in targets, getting the ball on a lot of short and behind-the-line-of-scrimmage passes. Sam Bradford prefers to work over the middle, so there will be enough balls for Austin and TE Jared Cook, who should be option 1A. Chris Givens is a field stretcher, and they'll look for more catch-and-run stuff out of developing flanker Brian Quick. Schottenheimer has always gotten pass-happy in the red zone, and that should be the case again with no proven power runner. Expect a lot of stuff for Cook near the goal line. Austin Pettis saw a lot of red zone looks last year, though he could be pushed to the bench by Quick. The Rams posted a whopping 52 sacks last season, which tied for the NFL lead. But this unit had just four fumble recoveries all season and failed to pick off a pass in nine of the final 12 games. Talent does exist for new defensive coordinator Tim Walton though, with DEs Chris Long (11.5 sacks) and Robert Quinn (10.5 sacks) and LB James Laurinaitis (142 tackles) standing out among the front seven, and CBs Cortland Finnegan (83 solo tackles) and Janoris Jenkins (4 INT) both strong cover men in a solid secondary.

*49ers-Rams Preview* ====================

By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer

The problems the St. Louis Rams are having on the field might pale in comparison to the overall issues surrounding the San Francisco 49ers.

Mired in their first losing stretch under coach Jim Harbaugh and minus at least one key player, the visiting 49ers look to avoid a third consecutive defeat Thursday night against a Rams team that gave them plenty of trouble in 2012.

In two games since totaling 494 yards during a 34-28 season-opening win over Green Bay, San Francisco (1-2) has looked nothing like the team expected to contend for a second straight NFC title. The 49ers have managed 461 total yards, turned the ball over seven times and committed 18 penalties while being outscored 56-10 by Seattle and Indianapolis.

Colin Kaepernick threw for 412 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions against the Packers, but 277 with no TDs and four picks the last two weeks.

A defense that in 2012 ranked second in the NFL at 17.1 points per game and third at 294.4 yards per game is giving up averages of 337.0 yards (12th) and 28.0 points (25th) through three games.

The 49ers last dropped three in a row during the 0-5 start in 2010 - the season prior to Harbaugh's arrival.

"We're not going to hang our heads," Harbaugh said. "Football is not easy, there are struggles.

"We've got some adversity, no question about it. We also have the rare opportunity to stare adversity in the face and whip it. That's our goal."

Doing so could be difficult as off-field issues and injuries continue to plague the club.

Star outside linebacker Aldon Smith was placed on the reserve non-football injury list Monday as he enters rehab for substance abuse. Smith, who had an NFC-leading 19 1/2 sacks last season and has 3 1/2 in 2013, played in Sunday's 27-7 home loss to the Colts two days after he was arrested and jailed on suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession.

There is no minimum number of games Smith must miss.

"We're very supportive of Aldon as we are of all of our players, all of our coaches, our personnel," Harbaugh said.

The 49ers also could be without fellow linebacker Patrick Willis (groin) and defensive back Nnamdi Asomugha (leg). Tight end Vernon Davis could miss a second straight game with a hamstring injury.

Playing without Davis seemed to leave Kaepernick lost at times Sunday. He completed two of his first eight passes and finished 13 for 27 for 150 yards with an interception and was sacked three times.

Kaepernick targeted Anquan Boldin 17 times when the veteran receiver caught 13 passes for 208 yards with a TD against the Packers. In the last two, the ball has gone Boldin's way 12 times, resulting in six catches for 74 yards and no touchdowns.

"I feel very confident in Colin," Harbaugh told the 49ers' official website.

"We all have our fingerprints on (the offensive struggles). We're working to improve the precision."

Frank Gore did rush for 82 yards on 11 carries Sunday after totaling 60 on 30 attempts the first two weeks. He scored in San Francisco's 16-13 overtime loss at St. Louis (1-2) on Dec. 2, but was limited to 58 yards on 23 carries.

Kaepernick threw for 208 yards and rushed for 84 in that contest, which followed the teams' 24-24 tie at San Francisco on Nov. 11 - the game in which Kaepernick relieved a concussed Alex Smith and the last one he didn't start.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher hopes the memory of last year's the 49ers will help his current team move on from consecutive losses at Atlanta and Dallas.

"This is a defining moment for us right now," he said after Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Cowboys. "We've got to get past this and get ready for the 49ers.

"All you have to do is put on a series here or a series there of our matchup last year, either one of the two games against the 49ers, and we'll have their attention."

No matter how much off-field drama and on-field struggles have consumed the 49ers, Fisher knows his team likely can't afford to follow the trend of falling behind again Thursday.

St. Louis rallied from an 11-point deficit to post a 27-24 season-opening win over Arizona and trailed by 21 points in the 31-24 loss to the Falcons.

The Rams weren't nearly as competitive at Dallas, gaining 18 total yards in the first half and 232 for the game. They were 0 for 12 on third down until converting one on the game's final play. Quarterback Sam Bradford was sacked six times after not being taken down once in four straight games dating to last season.

St. Louis also allowed DeMarco Murray to rush for 175 yards and a TD on 26 carries.

"We have to stick together," defensive end Chris Long said. "Nobody is going to come in here and save the day. It is on us to change things."

Bradford has completed 71.1 percent of his passes while going 2-0 at home versus San Francisco, and he's thrown four TDs without an interception in four career games against the 49ers.
