Coach Landry mentioned earlier this week
one of the keys to beating the 49ers in
the NFC championship game here in San
Francisco this Sunday will be getting to
quarterback Joe Montana.
He has certainly been one of the keys for
the 49ers this season.
But for that pass rusher to materialize,
feel conditions should be close to
normal. Such has not been the case here
at Candlestick thus far this year.
Thus, they have brought in an expert.
His name is George Tomáš.
We spoke to him about the field
conditions earlier today.
Well, actually, I think with the wind
blowing today in little sun out that
like I say, I'm not going to be satisfied
the only way I'm going to be satisfied if
there's not a divot.
But I'd say that if the player
said it was 100 percent improved over
what it was doing the previous games.
And after I seen the game Sunday,
I think it's going to be 50 percent
improved over what we had at last Sunday.
I by no means I'm an expert when it comes
to the art of Groundskeeping.
But in the short time I walked around the
field earlier this morning, most
impressed with the job George Telma has
done, he told me if the sun continues
to remain out, the slight winds that are
here in the Bay Area continue through
Sunday and the rain that is not
predicted continues to be not predicted.
We'll be in good shape come game time.
Sunday afternoon.
