I would certainly hope Barnett and Hawk lead the team in tackles when everything is funneled to them.

And Akamp 74, how are we spoiled at Linebacker? When was the last time we put one on the All Pro team? And I'm not talking about that vacation game in Honolulu either.

I just think comparing our linebackers to other teams in the NFL, our linebackers stand out.

I have tons of Bears fans as friends and we always compare rosters and for some reason I was saying Barnett > Urlacher even though I dog Barnett week after week.

I enjoy our linebacker play and looking at other teams, the Packers linebacker situation can be a lot worse. I think they are answering the challenge in the 3-4 (with major help of the three big men in front of them).

I know that I am not always rah rah Barnett.. but I have to give him props on his one stop for a loss.. he blew past the blocker and made a stick.. that is what I expect out of inside linebackers on a consistent basis.

But Hawk and he both got buried on Gore's on big run.. Barnett avoided contact and Hawk got handled by the fullback with ease... you get beat sometimes so I won't bang on their helmets too much. Solid players.

Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly made a mental mistake on San Francisco's second offensive play. Misjudging his responsibility, he was primarily responsible for a 42-yard run by running back Frank Gore - the longest run play on the Packers this year.

"I was supposed to be on the 'B' gap on the run, but I thought it was a pass set-up," said Jolly. "It was like a longer draw, so by the time I got back to the B gap, he hit it. It was my fault; I took the blame for that. I told them, 'Hey, guys, my fault. It won't happen again.' "

And it didn't. Three plays later, on third and 1 on Green Bay's 29, Jolly's wingman, nose tackle Ryan Pickett, gobbled up fullback Moran Norris for no gain, forcing the 49ers to kick a field goal.
