The San Francisco 49ers returned to their roots and emphasized the run in their Week 4 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

"It’s who we are and I’m happy to be back to that," said right guard Alex Boone. "That is our identity, and we need to run the ball like that every week. It’s no surprise, and it was a good day for Frank and a good day for the offensive line, and a great day for Kap. A win is a win." 

The 49ers had been throwing the ball a lot, using four and five-receiver sets.

"I just think as a team we’ve got so many weapons," said Frank Gore. "I think we’ve just got to do whatever it takes. Coach G-Ro calls a pass or a run, we’ve just got to fight for each other and get it done. We’ve got to talk and then do it. We’ve just got to go out there and do it. 

"It was a tough game, but a great win. Philly is a great team. With our backs against the wall, it was a must-win."
