| Players and club officials switch teams so regularly these days it's not uncommon to line up against a familiar face any given week during a 16-game NFL season.

| Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley understands his team will have to play physical against the San Francisco 49ers in the team's first regular-season game of the year.
"I think with the first game, everybody is upbeat and excited about it to see what we got," Bradley said. "The preseason is nice. You get a chance to see some guys and how they develop. But now it's the real deal. So we'll see what we're made of." The 49ers, predicted by most league observers to win the NFC West, likely will rely on a steady diet of running back Frank Gore this season, trusting their defense to control the game against most teams.

Although last season's 7-1 finish has played a part, the attention is largely based on the unstoppable preseason performance of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the offense. The players have accepted the high expectations without letting the hype get to them. "I don't see a problem with it," tight end Jermichael Finley said. |

| Entitlement is a tricky topic for Seattle's Mike Williams. When he was young and brash, Williams felt a certain sense of it. He was, after all, taken with the 10th overall pick in the 2005 draft by the struggling Detroit Lions, expected to be the big play threat the Lions offense lacked after two standout seasons at Southern California. |

| A look at the strengths, weaknesses, rehab issues and what to expect in the NFC West, as provided by SN's NFL correspondents: San Francisco 49ers The strength: Led by Patrick Willis, the 49ers have a fast, aggressive linebacking crew. Their defensive philosophy is to take away the big play and trust the linebackers to take care of any short plays in the middle of the field. The 49ers don't have a sack master on the squad, but they have six players capable of registering six sacks. |
