OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Joe Flacco got plenty of opportunities to show off his big arm in Saturday's practice, hitting his speedy receivers, especially newcomer Steve Smith, on several deep passes. On Sunday, however, the 49ers defense struck back.

There's some worry as to whether the 49ers will be able to hide stand outs like Lynch on their practice squad having exposed him to the Ravens in the practice session. I wonder if Jim and John have a gentlemen's agreement on that kind of poaching. Nevertheless, it was great to hear the defense bounced back against the Ravens ... you just have to wonder if they were a little slow on the uptake.
