Harbaugh on Gore: “I know his legs were tired the Seattle week.”

Posted on December 31, 2012 by Grant Cohn

SANTA CLARA – Frank Gore had a hot start to the season, but he has not rushed for 100 yards in a game since Week 7.

Jim Harbaugh talked about Gore’s condition this afternoon.

Q: How fresh is Frank Gore right now?

HARBAUGH: I hate the word fresh. Can we go with strong? I think he is stronger than he was at this time last year. I know his legs were tired the Seattle week. I think he felt a lot better this week.

I think our whole team could use some rest, mind and body.

    Be honest, Harbaugh, you did what every other coach did with Gore – you realized he was the best offensive weapon and kept him on the field to win games.

    Anybody with THEIR eyes on him could see he was tired!
    WHY DIDN’T THE HC GIVE GORE SOME REST FOR THE PLAYOFFS!!!

      Best question yet, Dee. Why in the world was Frank still in there in the 4th qtr against the Cards?

    Frank Gore should not be getting 20 carries. He hasn’t had a 100 yard game since we beat Seattle on Thursday night. That is crazy considering we are a running team. LMJ needs more carries and more screens. Get him the ball at least 10 carries a game. Gore was the man but he’s slowing down as most running backs do when they turn 30.
