A look at the strengths, weaknesses, rehab issues and what to expect in the NFC West, as provided by SN's NFL correspondents: San Francisco 49ers The strength: Led by Patrick Willis, the 49ers have a fast, aggressive linebacking crew. Their defensive philosophy is to take away the big play and trust the linebackers to take care of any short plays in the middle of the field. The 49ers don't have a sack master on the squad, but they have six players capable of registering six sacks.

Arizona Cardinals The biggest issue facing the Cardinals is at quarterback. Derek Anderson is the starter but has struggled with accuracy throughout his career, completing 56 percent of his passes. But the coaches say he had more skills than Matt Leinart, who was released Saturday, in terms of arm strength and leadership. Quarterbacks coach Chris Miller has worked hard with Anderson on developing touch on shorter throws and longer ones that require him to drop the ball between coverage.

The 49ers released 22 players on Friday, but all their 2010 draft picks made the cut. Singletary said after Thursday night's 17-14 preseason win over San Diego that Davis would be a big part...

NFL Team reports: What we learned in the NFC West (SportingNews.com)
Yahoo! Sports - NFL - San Francisco 49ers News

What SN's NFC West correspondents learned watching training camp and exhibition games: ARIZONA CARDINALS 1. There are issues at QB. Coach Ken Whisenhunt has concluded that Matt Leinart is neither the QB of the present nor the future. Derek Anderson took over the starting job after two preseason games and is expected to start the Sept. 12 opener at St. Louis. Anderson is hardly a proven commodity, however. 2. The strength of this team is still receiver.
