Truesdale travels to London
for New Years Parade
By Stacy Taff
staff@delphosherald.com
ADRIAN, MIAs
a member of the Adrian
College Marching Band, 21-
year-old Mike Truesdale was
given the honor of celebrat-
ing the new year in London,
England. Around 60 people
from Adrian, the majority of
which were students, left on
Dec. 28 to participate in the
London New Years Parade,
Englands equivalent of the
Macys Thanksgiving Day
Parade.
It was televised so it was
played across BBC, which is
their big network, Truesdale
said. There were I think 7
or 8 bands from the United
States, like Olentangy High
School from down near
Columbus and the band from
the University of Southern
Florida. To get involved, the
bands have to apply and then
they go through a selection
process. Truesdale, who is a
junior at Adrian, plays the alto
saxaphone.
For the parade we played
songs from one of our march-
ing shows, which included
part of the Washington Post
March and Bring Me a
Higher Love, he said. They
also had a finale planned,
where they brought five or six
of the bands together and had
us play a selection of music.
The trip was doubly excit-
ing for Truesdale, as it was
his first time being out of the
country, let alone on a differ-
ent continent.
The entire experience was
really interesting. There were
so many tourists because its
one of the most popular desti-
nations in the world, he said.
It seemed like everywhere
we went we were fighting
through crowds. The people
there seemed really friendly,
for the most part anyway. It
was weird because they do
drive on the opposite side of
the road. Doing the parade was
very unique, certainly differ-
ent from here because the road
wasnt straight; there were all
these twists and turns.
When visiting a country
with such a distinctive culture
and long history, it would be
a waste not to take time to
see the sites. Truesdale and
the rest of the band stayed

American Red Cross locations throughout the area are recruit-
ing new volunteers to join the Disaster Action Team (DAT) and
assist clients throughout the area.

an intensive training session. Participants will receive an orienta-
tion regarding the services provided by American Red Cross and
how to: prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies; set up
and run a shelter during a disaster; complete necessary paperwork
during a disaster; conduct client interviews; and provide appropri-
ate assistance to help meet the persons needs both during and
following the disaster.
Classes will be held simultaneously at American Red Cross of

Employers subsidized up
to $8,000 for new hires
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
sgroves@

DELPHOS Ohio
employers searching for qual-
ity candidates can recruit and
be reimbursed for the expense
of training new hires through
the Department of Job and
Family Services (ODJFS).
ODJFS Workforce
Specialist Laura Jones spoke
during a Delphos Area
Chamber of Commerce
seminar Wednesday at the
Microtel Inn & Suites where
local employers were present-
ed with an informative look
into work source services.
In todays business envi-
ronment, success is increas-
ingly dependent on knowl-
edge and information. To
maintain a competitive edge
and reach their potential,
employers need the resources
to build a strong workforce.
The ODJFS is committed to
helping businesses and orga-
nizations by offering labor
market information, training
grants, pre-interview skills
assessment, layoff aversion,
rapid response assistance, on-
the-job training opportunities
and more.
One of the lesser-known
offerings that businesses can
take advantage of is the On
The Job Training program
(OJT), which allows busi-
nesses to hire and train highly-
skilled individuals. The pro-
gram is made possible through
a federal grant and assists two
groups of people; dislocated
workers, who are not at fault,
and adults with low incomes.
It it imperative that employers
understand that use of the pro-
gram must be initiated and a
contract in force before work-
ers are hired.
This program helps with
the cost of training and puts
more Ohioans back to work,
which equates to a stronger
workforce for the state, Jones
emphasized.
When businesses hire an
eligible, out-of-work Ohioan,
the ODJFS will reimburse up
to 50 percent of the employ-
ees wages for up to six months
with a maximum reimburse-
ment of $8,000 while learning
on the job. For example, five
employees hired at the rate
of $10 per hour and trained
for six months would cost
$48,000. After reimburse-
ment, employers would only
pay $24,000.
Employee eligibility is
determined through a screen-
ing process, which is very
beneficial for the employer
and ensures a quality candi-
date. Training is based on the
individual, their skill level
and aptitudes required for

Delphos
Inauguration is upon us again. Hope
springs again with all the pageantry,
parades and balls. Lets all keep our fin-
gers crossed for better times ahead.
I havent been writing much the past
year. My youngest decided to have a des-
tination wedding and it seemed like every
moment away from work was spent worry-
ing about that. (And trust methe worry-
ing made all the difference in the world.)
But I have been looking back on the
comparisons between politics, elections,
inaugurations and wedding plans and they
have quite a lot in common.
Wedding: You get the call. Mom Im
getting married! So we put all our plans
on holdvacations, remodeling A party
has to be planned. The excitement is
unbelievable. You cant wait to spread the
news.
Politics: The candidates are announced.
Choices abound. We are excited to hear
every word about what will be happen-
ing, who will do what and what the future
holds.
Wedding: As soon you begin your wed-
ding planning, the choices become tougher
and you get confused and frustrated trying
to make decisions. You just want to please
everyone.
Politics: I got confused and irritated
in trying to make my decision. It seems
like all the candidates are out to please
EVERYONE because that is the key to
being elected.
Wedding: You look at your check book
and think Why are we paying this much
for some chicken and potatoes..?
Politics: I look at my check book and
say Why are we paying this much for
chicken and potatoes.
Wedding: The calls are seemingly end-
less to the caterer, the wedding planner, the
hotel and DJ. I know they are tired of me
asking a zillion questions that probably a
thousand people have asked before. BUT I
NEED ANSWERS.
Politics: I know they are tired of us
asking a zillion questions. BUT I NEED
ANSWERS.
Wedding: The final emails and calls are
flying as the big wedding day approaches.
I dread looking at my email and hearing the
phone ring again, wondering who needs
what or what needs to go where.
Politics: I dread looking in my mailbox
and hearing the phone ring.
Wedding: The wedding day has come.
Lots of love for my daughter and her new
hubby! Lots of hope, lots of happiness!
Can things get any better than seeing their
bright future?
Politics: The big day has come. The
choice has been made. We all look to catch
a glimpse of that brighter future.
Day after wedding: Just relieved it is all
over and hope to get back to life. Its then
you realize things havent really changed
for Bob and I. We will get back to our
work and our lives. We have faith that the
man we have entrusted with our daughters
future realizes what a treasure he has.
Politics: Just relieved it is all over and
hoping for a change. May the man we have
trusted with our future realizes what a trea-
sure he has.

Information submitted
In recent months, law
enforcement officials have
been made aware of an
alleged drug house at 317
N. Bredeick St. in Delphos.
An investigation by mem-
bers of the West Central
Ohio Crime Task Force cul-
minated Friday at approxi-
mately 10:15 a.m. when the
task force and members of
the Allen County Sheriffs
Office Swat Team served a
search warrant on the resi-
dence.
Found inside the resi-
dence were the following
items that were seized for
evidentiary purposes:
A small quantity of sus-
pected marijuana
A moderate quantity of
suspected pharmaceutical
pills
A moderate quantity of
suspected drug parapherna-
lia, including hypodermic
syringes
A moderate quantity of
US currency
Five adults and one small
child were found inside the
residence. One of the adults,
a 21-year-old white male,
is suspected of illegal drug
sale(s) originating from this
residence.
The other four adults
found in the home, who
are family members of the
21-year-old male, are not
suspected of any wrongdo-
ing.
Once the 21-year-old
male is formally charged,
his name will be released.
The West Central Ohio
Crime Task Force is com-
prised of officers from the
following agencies; Allen
County Sheriffs Office,
Van Wert County Sheriffs
Office, Lima Police
Department, Delphos Police
Department and multiple
state/ federal agencies. This
task force operates within a
multi county area to combat
drugs and major crimes.
Task force serves warrant on Delphos home
(Continued from page 1)
at Cumberland Hotel which
placed them relatively close
to downtown London and
popular tourist targets.
We toured Windsor
Castle and we also got to see
Buckingham Palace, where
we watched the changing of
the guard, he said.
They were in their win-
ter uniforms, so unfortunate-
ly they werent as bright and
flashy as we expected them
to be. We also got to walk
around Oxford University.
My favorite part was
probably getting to see
the Tower of London,
Truesdale continued.
I also really enjoyed the
fireworks show they did to
ring in the new year. We
were allowed to watch them
from wherever we wanted,
so we found a spot under-
neath Big Ben and got to
watch it change at midnight
before the fireworks start-
ed.
Truesdale, who is a
Jefferson graduate, got
the idea to attend Adrian
after spending a week there
every summer while in high
school.
The Jefferson Marching
Band holds band camp there
every year and I grew to
really like the campus,
Truesdale said. They have
small class sizes so its pret-
ty similar to high school.
The campus is small too and
everyone is really friendly.
Its just a great commu-
nity.

the position. Throughout
the employees training,
there are monitors in place
to verify that employers
are providing appropriate
instruction and employees
are following policy and
procedure. Any separation
must be documented.
The employer will treat
the new hire just as they
would any other employ-
ee, Jones detailed the cri-
teria. The particulars of
the contract and training
period are highly individu-
alized.
There is an addition-
al program, the Work
Opportunity Tax Credit
(WOTC), which aids com-
panies that hire eligible
workers from target groups
of disadvantaged job-
seekers. This opportunity
is a win-win situation for
both parties; the employer
receives a tax break and
the job-seeker evolves
from economic dependen-
cy into self-sufficiency.
Employers who recruit
Veterans, ex-felons, SNAP
benefits and short and long-
term Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families
(TANF) recipients, voca-
tional rehabilitation refer-
rals, Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) recipients,
summer youth employees
and designated community
residents can receive a tax
credit of $2,400 to $9,600.
The website is very conve-
nient. Employers can com-
plete and submit a state
level application online for
up to 28 days after hir-
ing a qualified worker and
complete the tax filing at
the federal level after cer-
tification.
This is good for small
and large companies,
Jones declared. It reduces
a businesses tax burden and
is worth looking into.
The One Stop System
is a highly useful tool cre-
ated through the Workforce
Investment Act of 1988
and provides a customer-
focused system of train-
ing and employment ser-
vices to job-seekers and
employers, cost free. The
One Stop collaborates with
partner agencies to meet
the needs of employers and
job-seekers.
In addition, through the
Ohio Means Jobs web-
site, employers can take
advantage of many ser-
vices, including employee
recruitment, where organi-
zations can file and post
job openings; participate
in job fairs; hold mass
recruitments; and receive
assistance with job post-
ing descriptions. The agen-
cy can aid an employer
with candidate selection by
screening, utilizing skills
and aptitude assessments
and supporting the hiring
for specific groups, such
as older workers, veterans
or those with disabilities.
The agency offers referrals
to local employment agen-
cies, access to the comput-
er training lab and confer-
ence room, apprenticeship
programs and on-the-job
employee training.

whats new at the muse-
um and spend a fun eve-
ning in the process.
Yes I did hear you
earlier. What is the sig-
nificance of parcel post?
Why is that so impor-
tant? At the turn of the
twentieth century, rural
America had just start-
ed to receive delivery
of mail at their homes
and farms. Rural Free
Delivery began as an
experiment in West
Virginia in 1896. Prior
to that, people had to
travel into town to get
their mail, many on foot
or by horseback.
The Post Office
Department was not
geared to handling large
items. But the rural
towns storekeepers were
not going to lay down
quietly when this idea
was proposed. Known
as the Great Debate in
Congress, lobbyists for
major department stores
fought hard to have
goods shipped easily and
cheaply to Americans
throughout the coun-
try. In 1913, Congress
directed the United
States Postal Department
to institute parcel post
and as such this was the
first nail in the coffin for
small town retailers.
However, the consum-
er was the prize win-
ner here. Now they had
the opportunity to order
from catalogs with great-
er variety and competi-
tive pricing. It has been
said that you would find
two items on the table in
the living room of every
farmhouse - the family
bible and a Sears and
Roebuck catalog.
You could buy
almost anything through
the mail. If you visit
the Delphos Canal
Commission Museum
you will find a car made
by Sears. You could pur-
chase guns, buildings,
almost anything could
be delivered by the US
Mail.

this major milestone
in the development of
America.

CONVOY - It is a milestone
that most couples never see.
Karl and Isabelle Schumm will
celebrate their 75th wedding
anniversary on Tuesday. Yes,
75 years together. Officially,
it is their Diamond and Gold
anniversary. The couple are
celebrating with a reception on
Sunday at Vancrest of Convoy
from 2-4 p.m.
There will be another cel-
ebration upcoming as Isabelle
turns 97 on Monday. Karl will
hit 100 in August. The two were
married back in 1938 in the par-
sonage of St. Thomas Lutheran
Church on German Church
Road. After the wedding, the
couple went back home to begin
married life together.
We went to the grocery
store and bought some grocer-
ies. We went home and she
cooked a meal. That was our
honeymoon! Karl smiled.
The couple met in an
unlikely way. Living just three
miles apart, the two ended up
on the same school bus route.
We went to Van Wert
schools, and he got to drive the
bus for me, Isabelle said. He
was only 18. After that, they
didnt let him do that. They
wanted older people.
Karl laughed about that and
noted that things were a little
different back then. He was
still in high school when he
was hired to drive his bus. He
also shared that bus driving
was a paying job.
I made a dollar a day going
to school! That was pretty good
money back then! said Karl.
As the romance progressed,
Karl began to think about mar-
riage. He invested in a home in
Convoy near the grain elevator
on what is now St. Rd. 49. The
house is gone now, but the
memories remain.
I owned half of it, but I
didnt tell her, Karl remem-
bered. I showed it to her and
asked her if she wanted to get
married and live here with me.
And she took me up on it! She
was 22-years-old, a nice, hard-
working, pretty young girl.
Over the years, the couple
raised three sons and a daugh-
ter. The family remains close,
having gathered on Saturday
mornings for many years.
Karl ran a chicken hatchery in
Convoy in the location where
the post office stands today.
Isabelle also helped with the
egg business.
In the 1950s, the Schumms
moved out of town to a farm
at the corner of Wolfcale Rd.
and St. Rd. 49. There were
still chickens to care for along
with a few hogs and fruit trees.
Eventually grandchildren
entered the picture. Then great-
grandchildren. Now the couple
has nine grandchildren with
one deceased, and 19 great-
grandchildren.
The only thing that has been
able to separate the Schumms
is Isabelles failing health.
She has moved to Vancrest in
Convoy to live. Fortunately,
that is not very far from Karl.
Although he no longer drives,
Karl has a regular schedule
to come to town and visit his
long-time wife, including
church services every Sunday.
Appreciate your wife
before she goes to the nursing
home. Appreciate her while
you have her, he emphasized.
We live apart now. Not living
together, thats not good.
Aside from not driving,
Karl gets around very well
for a man nearing the century
mark. He even still mows
his own lawn. Sitting in the
front room at Vancrest, Karl
even sang the song from his
confirmation at St. Thomas
Church back in 1927 in
German flawlessly.
As for the question that
everyone seems to ask, how
can anyone stay married for
75 years? Isabelle summed it
up matter-of-factly.
You just do what you
have to do every day and
every week.
Karl and Isabelle Schumm were married Jan. 22, 1938.
They are celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary on
Sunday, 2-4 p.m. at Vancrest of Convoy. The public is
invited. Please, no gifts. (Times Bulletin/Ed Gebert)

75th anniversary
Kasich to give State of the State
speech in Lima at Civic Center
By JULIE CARR SMYTH
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS For the second year in
a row, Gov. John Kasich is making plans to
deliver his State of the State speech outside
the capital city, a practice he says exposes
more Ohioans to their government but which
critics say sets a bad precedent.
Assuming state lawmakers agree, this
years venue will be Lima, a rebounding
Rust Belt city of 38,000 that sits equidistant
between Toledo and Dayton in northwest
Ohio. Kasich will give the speech on Monday
at Veterans Memorial Civic Center.
In another departure from tradition, Kasich
hopes to deliver the speech in the evening this
year, rather than the usual noontime start.
In 2012, Kasich became the first governor
in modern memory to take the years big
policy speech outside the Ohio Statehouse
in Columbus. The first-term Republican
chose Steubenville for the occasion, using
the award-winning Wells Academy, named
the best school in the state, to tout education
successes and the benefits of the regions bur-
geoning shale gas industry.
Justices were unable to attend last years
speech because court was in session the day
it was delivered, and some statewide offi-
cials and legislators couldnt or chose not
to attend.
Choosing Lima this year gives Kasich
a chance to highlight economic successes
he has touted on both the state and national
stages. Unemployment in Allen County has
fallen since he took office, moving from 10.8
percent to 6.7 percent. The selection of Lima,
the county seat, was first reported by The
Lima News.
The newly elected president of the Ohio
Senate, Republican Keith Faber, also resides
nearby. He issued a statement Friday praising
the governors efforts to use the State of the
State speech to highlight new areas of the
state.
Im especially honored to host the gov-
ernor and my legislative colleagues in Lima,
one of the economic hubs of my district, he
said. Weve got a great story to tell, and I
know Gov. Kasich has an incredible record
and vision to share in this important address.
This is how government of the people
should work.
Lawmakers, Supreme Court justices,
Cabinet officials and statewide officeholders
would need to make the trip to convene the
joint legislative session where the speech is
delivered. Lima is about 100 miles west of
Columbus. Before 2012, the Ohio General
Assembly last convened a joint session out-
side Columbus in 2003, when lawmakers
traveled to the first state capital, Chillicothe,
to celebrate the states bicentennial. The time
before that was in the 1950s.
Some Democratic lawmakers have called
on their colleagues to reject Kasichs request
to take the speech outside the Statehouse, say-
ing it breaks a long-held and important tradi-
tion. Others have criticized the added costs of
the event.
To counter them, Kasich sent a letter to
state lawmakers along with his venue request
Friday asking them to support his decision.

Fight Occurs at
Fangers Cafe
Three Lima young men and
four from Van Wert received
fines Monday morning in
Mayor W.H. Taylors Court
as the result of a fight staged
about 1:15 Sunday morning
at Fangers Cafe. A Delphos
man, an innocent victim of the
quarrel, sustained a fracture of
his left ankle.
According to testimony
brought out at the trial, the
fight started as the group of
Lima and Van Wert people
were on their way downstairs
from the dance hall which is
located on the second floor.
The battle continued in the
dining room at the foot of the
stairs and in the melee, one
of the fighters was knocked
against the table occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Eiche
and a group of friends.
The fight continued
around the table and Mr. and
Mrs. Eiche were both thrown
to the floor. Before he could
be helped to his feet, one of
the fighters stepped on Mr.
Eiches ankle. A local physi-
cian was called and Mr. Eiche
was removed to the Van Wert
county hospital in the Harter
ambulance. The fracture was
reduced and he was brought
to his home on South Main
street, Monday.

Im glad I dont do this for a

Bob and Brian are back.
Here are the games.
C o n f e r e n c e
Championships: Baltimore at
New England; San Francisco
at Atlanta.

JIM METCALFE
SAN FRANCISCO: Colin
Kaepernick; what a perfor-
mance last week against what
I thought was an improving
Green Bay defense in his first
postseason start. I see no rea-
son to expect anything dif-
ferent against a Falcon D
that may not have injured DE
John Abraham; if he plays, he
likely will be far less effec-
tive. Offensively, the 49ers
defense is stout and with
Atlanta seemingly having
no consistent run-
ning game, they will
harrass Matt Ryan all
day with that line and
linebackers. All told,
this may not even
be close as Falcon
TE and future first-
ballot Hall-of-Famer
Tony Gonzalez sees
his career come to
an end.
NEW ENGLAND: This
one is a real toss-up, even
with the Patriots favored
by nine and this being in
Foxboro. The Ravens
defense has given Patriots
QB (and future first-ballot
HOFer) Tom Brady fits in
his 13-year career, espe-
cially with future first-ballot
HOFers Ray Lewis (playing
what could be his final game)
and safety Ed Reed; they
actually did a pretty good job
last week vs. Peyton Manning
and Company. Baltimore QB
Joe Flacco actually outper-
formed Brady in last years
conference finals. That being
written, I think the key is the
Pats young, fast and improv-
ing defense, led by an old war-
horse in NT Vince Woolfork.
After all, Bill Belichick is a
defensive wizard. Throw in
the Ravens terrible special
teams (at least last week) and
that tilts the game toward NE.
-
DAVE BONINSEGNA
Atlanta: The 49ers are back
in the NFC Championship
game for the second consecu-
tive year but this time they
are confident they can take
that next step this year behind
Collin Kaepernick. However,
the Atlanta Falcons look at
their first playoff victory
and are 7-1 at home despite
nearly coughing
up a big lead last
week against the
Seahawks. The con-
ferences top two
teams meet Sunday
at the rockin
Georgia Dome with
a berth in Super
Bowl XLVII on the
line. The question is
can Kaepernick pull
off two more wins;
the Falcons had a nearly big
hiccup last week. I may be the
only one but what do I have to
lose? The Falcons play very
well at home and Im going
to go with Matt Ryan and the
Falcons.
New England: On paper
this one shouldnt be close;
the Ravens have what
they wanted anoth-
er shot at the New
England Patriots. The
AFC championship
will feature the same
teams from the year
before for the first
time in 25 years when
the Patriots play the
Ravens on Sunday in
Foxborough, where
New England has never
lost with the Super Bowl on
the line. The Patriots won
last year 23-20 with a typi-
cal Brady drive late in the
game. The Ravens arent the
defensive team they used to
be and this could be the last
game in the HOF career of
Ray Lewis. The Wilsons
Super Bowl football will have
New England and Atlanta
enscribed on it and zsport-
slive.com will give you the
change to win one. Go to our
Facebook page to see how.

BRIAN BASSETT
Personally I am pulling
for the Ravens and 49ers
because I would like to see
the Harbaugh brothers duke it
out for a title.
ATLANTA: As far as the
NFC, I think the Falcons will
win. I dont believe domes
present that much of a home-
field advantage but it is more
favorable than playing in San
Francisco. I think Matt Ryan
can will this team to a win and
the emergence of Julio Jones
and the secondary has
put the Falcons above where
they have been in the past.
NEW ENGLAND: I think
the Patriots will win because,
well, they are the Patriots.
Tom Brady is Tom Brady
unflappable, especially at
GilLette. The Patriots
will just find a way
to win, as they usu-
ally do. The Ravens
defense isnt as good
as its reputation has
built it up to be and
Brady will expose it.
BOB WEBER
New England
In a rematch of
last years AFC
Championship Game, the
Baltimore Ravens visit the
New England Patriots Sunday
night at Gillette Stadium. The
Ravens have struggled in
Foxboro, losing six of seven
visits. New England, mean-
while, is back in the AFC title
game for the third time in the
last five seasons after win-
ning the AFC East again. The
Patriots are full of confidence
moving forward, despite the
loss of star tight end Rob
Gronkowski. Baltimore is a
hot team and seems to be
legitimately inspired by Ray
Lewis impending retire-
ment. However, they have
Joe Flacco, who I compare
to a home run hitter in base-
ball yes, he can hit the long
ball on occasion; however,
more often he comes up short
or swings and misses in big
moments. Ray Rice is just
a stud but I dont think
he gets the ball enough to
be the true game-changing
player he is. The Ravens
defense looked very vulner-
able against the Broncos and
their special teams were hor-
rible, giving up two return
touchdowns. The Patriots
Tom Brady (what doesnt this
guy have): tremendous quar-
terback, Super Bowl rings,
wins 80-90% of his games,
offensive weapons all around
him to choose from, an offen-
sive line that protects him like
Fort Knox and a supermodel
wife to go home to every
night and you want me to
bet against him???? Brady is
playing great, Wes Welker
will be his usual self, running
game is very strong; defense
is as strong as it has ever been
and Aaron Hernandez will
fill in adequately for Gronk.
Its hard to pick against Ray
Lewis in what could be his
final game but New England
is just the better team; its as
simple as that. New England
31, Baltimore 10.
San Francisco The NFC
Championship will be decid-
ed between the streaking
San Francisco 49ers and the
Atlanta Falcons, who come
off a thrilling victory over
the Seattle Seahawks. These
two dynamic offenses should
light it up Sunday in hope-
fully a great game to watch.
The 49ers Colin Kaepernick
has made me a real believ-
er. He can do it with his
arm and his legs. I think if
he wanted to last week, he
could have had 200-250 yards
rushing against the Packers.
The defense is as good as
there is in the NFL; Justin
Smith and the secondary shut
down Aaron Rodgers and the
Packers last week. Atlanta has
the home-field advantage but
if they fall behind early, this
one could be over early. Matt
Ryan and the offense of the
Falcons needs to score and
score big to have a shot in this
game; they have to limit their
turnovers and Roddy White
and Julio Jones need to have
huge games. The 49ers want
to hit you in the mouth early
and knock you off the ball
and let Frank Gore pile up
the yards. Atlanta is a good
team; however, lets face it,
they should have lost last
week against the Seahawks
after blowing a 3-touchdown
lead. I dont see them getting
it done this week; the 49ers
have their offense hitting on
all cylinders and the defense
(overall 3rd in the NFL and
rush and pass defense 4th in
the NFL). I see Kaepernick
having another big night,
Gore getting his hard, hit-
you-in-the-mouth, 80-100
yards, Michael Crabtree,
Vernon Davis and Randy
Moss pressuring the Falcons
defense all night long and
the 49ers defense led by LB
Aldon Smith causing Ryan
to have a very long night.
