Gore is leading: One aspect of the team that won't change is that it will run through Frank Gore. Coach Mike Nolan said he wants the running back getting 25 touches a game and Gore said he wants to gain 2,200 rushing yards.
Gore is also becoming more of a leader and involving himself with the entire team.
"If something is good on defense or offense, Frank has opinions on it," Nolan said. "Frank's not shy about coming up to me and saying, 'Coach, I think that guy is a baller.' "
If Gore doesn't like a player, he'll go to Nolan and just shake his head.
"There are some guys who have a pulse on the team and Frank is one of those guys," Nolan said.
don't get too amped up, nolan is the same guy who like a week ago said that he didn't want Gore to be overworked and would spell him more and the OC also said that Gore would let them know when he would need to take a break. So this could be hype ala, SJ getting 2500 yards total or better yet, Julius Jones talking about 1700 yards or something last year.

When it comes to JJ though, i don't think he saw Barber coming...I'd say Jackson and Gore are much more capable of living up to the hype(to a certain extent, not actually THESE numbers but, you get what i'm saying)
they used Michael Robinson a lot once they got inside the 10 last year, a case of the tiki barber disease, it all really depends and I won't believe hardly anything I see in training camp, lol

Good point..i think it was you that brought it up before that Gore doesn't go for Td's much. For yardage leagues though, he'd kick *** with his big runs.
Gore to see 25 touches a game
