He made the comment at a media availability Saturday prior to Game 2 of the Boston-Montreal playoff series when a Quebec reporter said there is sentiment in Quebec that the NHL looks more favourably on Seattle than Quebec City when it comes to future expansion.ST. LOUIS - Austin Davis has made the most of his improbable shot the St. Louis Rams, passing for 300 yards each of the last two games. The degree of difficulty is about to go up. Way up. The San Francisco 49ers enter Monday nights game with the NFLs No. 2 defence, making the going very tough even without key players from last season. Catch all the action on TSN1, TSN3, and TSN4 starting at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. Patrick Willis leads the way for San Francisco (3-2) which has stepped up its play lately. Last week, they did enough to compensate for a sputtering offence that leaned on five field goals and converted on a fake punt deep in their territory in a 22-17 victory over the Chiefs. Alex Smith found the going tough especially in the second half and Jamal Charles was held to 80 yards rushing. Patrick Willis, lets start there, coach Jim Harbaugh said. He is the kingpin in the middle. Harbaugh said tackle Justin Smith and linebacker Ahmad Brooks have also stepped up their play, plus nose tackle Ian Williams has been a find. Linebacker NaVorro Bowman has resumed running and getting closer to returning. Davis passed for 375 yards and two touchdowns last week at Philadelphia, nearly bringing the Rams back from a 27-point deficit in a 34-28 loss. The previous game, he passed for 325 yards although he was intercepted twice. Several players have proven reliable targets, including wide receivers Brian Quick, Kenny Britt and Austin Pettis and tight ends Jared Cook and Lance Kendricks. The 49ers took advantage of the extra day of preparation to learn more about a player who was fourth on the depth chart during the preseason before the job dropped into his hands due to injuries to Sam Bradford and Shaun Hill. Coach Jeff Fisher reversed field after the Rams bye and said Davis was his quarterback for the rest of the year, after repeatedly saying Hill was that guy when he returned from a quadriceps injury. Davis was a volunteer high school coach this time last year, getting re-signned by the Rams after Bradfords first season-ending knee injury. Corey Harris Jersey. So its still a nice rags-to-riches tale, but with a body of work to analyze. Weve really weve got as much tape on him as we would have if the other guy had still been the quarterback, defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio said. So, its really not a whole lot different than any other week. The Rams (1-3) are a lot more concerned about solving the 49ers defence than Davis performing on national TV. Its just the next challenge, the next chapter, offensive co-ordinator Brian Schottenheimer said. Its just obviously a very good defence. Again, he doesnt have to do it by himself, we have to do it as a team. The game plan wont change much, if at all, to account for San Franciscos strengths. Running back Zac Stacy is probable coming off a calf injury that sidelined him last week and Benny Cunningham also been effective. Theyll certainly make some plays, they always do, Schottenheimer said. They will be tough stretches Im sure. This is probably an elite defence, but weve played some good defences. For a change the 49ers didnt beat themselves last week, committing just two penalties for 10 yards last week. Penalties remain a season-long concern for the Rams, whove also made enough critical mistakes to put a damper on hopes Fishers third season will be the long-awaited breakthrough. The defence has been a puzzlement, prone to giving up big gainers and limited to a single sack despite aggressive schemes under new co-ordinator Gregg Williams. Theres enough on his plate that Fisher isnt paying much attention to the 15-year anniversary recognition of the 1999 Super Bowl team. The team was honoured at a function Sunday night and will be the focus of halftime Monday night. Im actually thinking about the 49ers, Fisher said. Ive been here for a few years now. Im reminded on a daily basius inside the building, so Im used to it now. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
