Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
GM Scot McCloughan has strongly hinted several times during the offseason that the team would be looking for a complimentary back alongside Gore and the Niners used a third-round pick to select Alabama RB Glen Coffee. But the possibility of a diminished role was news to Gore. "I haven't heard that we're going to take some of the load off of me," Gore said. "I know the coach has been telling me that I have to be in tip-top shape and I have to be ready to take the load, and that's what I'm going to do. ..." We agree; a healthy Gore will be very busy this fall.
