Against
the Cardinals, Westbrook flew mostly between the tackles. Nine of his
rushes were up the middle for 61 yards. All but one carry and 1 yard
came inside the tackles, where the 49ers want to mash the most. He went up the middle for an 8-yard touchdown run, following pulling
left guard Mike Iupati's lead, to give the 49ers a 21-3 lead in the
second quarter. In other words, Westbrook showed the 49ers don't have to change the game plan just because Gore is out. "I felt good, I felt very young," Westbrook said. "I was fresh"/David White, S.F. Chronicle. More here.
