The 49ers haven't used Brian Westbrook as much as many expected this season and starting running back Frank Gore appears to be the reason. "Frank Gore doesn't like to come out of the game," offensive coordinator Mike Johnson said. "He's a warrior; he likes to go." Through six games, Gore is fourth in the NFL with 116 rushes and his 33 catches are the most for a running back. He ranks second with 149 offensive touches and 755 yards from scrimmage. "Like I told my coach, I'll take a breather when I get tired," Gore said. "They've never told me to take a blow."
