08:47 AM ET 10.19 | Mike Johnson has tried to coach the 49ers' offense into a more surgical strike unit, with hopes his playmakers might benefit. On Sunday, Johnson did a particularly good job of prying open the Raiders' defense on a 32-yard touchdown catch by Michael Crabtree late in the third quarter. Another challenge for Johnson has been getting Crabtree more involved in the game plan. That began to happen two weeks ago against Atlanta when the second-year wide receiver caught five passes for 58 yards. The next week against Philadelphia, his numbers rose again. Crabtree caught nine passes for 105 yards and a touchdown, his best day as a 49er.

Hard to get a receiver with stone hands and a fragile phyche to involved in the offense.

But it does get easier when you play in the NFC West, or you're playing the Raiders.

Oh yes! Crabtree coming to life and williams in dallas - looks like my preseason predictions might come true both get 800 yards and 8 tds for tree -since 49er's actually run in the redzone - and 11 td's for williams.
And of course everyone called me crazy and the insults flew but it is a no brainer if you use yours - tree is in an incentive year and williams is playin for a contract next year.

Saying williams will get a lot of TDs isn't that bold a prediction. That's about the only thing he's been consistently good at the past 3 years. The 800 yards is going to be close. It looks like teams are starting to shut down Austin with double coverages a lot, so that might help.

Keep in mind the 49ers were playing the Raiders. Enough said.

There were a lot of #15 jerseys in the stands last week, but until he starts showing that he has, and is willing to have some real chemistry with the QB, I dont see him earning the $$$ he was holding out for.
Just because Crabby is not catching the ball, doesn???t mean that its all Smiths fault. Not all of it anyway way.

And a Nancy boy QB throwing marshmallow's. Plus a coach who looks more like a deer in the headlights than an NFL coach.

I'm betting the Lions have more wins at the end of the season than the 49ers.

very unlikely. The niners still have 5 division games that are very winnable. The Lions have a much tougher schedule and have all their key players on offense; best, stafford and megatron battling injuries

No one in San Fran is sold on this guy except Jed York and the Quarterbacks Coach. Crabtree fell to us; no one wanted him. Check #15 Lamar Latrell last year ducking a catch in the endzone. Before this last game against the Raiders he tipped more passes for INT's than he actually caught it seems. He's not physical with an F, he's not a modern Niner, He's a nobody. We're ****ed....
