| How concerned are the 49ers about the noise level inside Seattle's Qwest Field? On Wednesday, they pumped artificial crowd noise through huge speakers. A lot of teams do that before road games in loud venues. But the 49ers were even blasting noise during their morning walk-through.

| NFL Power Poll: Packers' expectations soar, but Jets still No. 1 Green Bay is the smallest market in the NFL, but no team has created more buzz over the past month. 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. |

| 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.

| A look at each team's biggest concern with the start of the NFL season less than a week away. Arizona Cardinals Derek Anderson is the starting quarterback but has struggled with accuracy throughout his career, completing 56 percent of his passes. Still, coaches say he had more skills than Matt Leinart, who was released Saturday, in terms of arm strength and leadership. Quarterbacks coach Chris Miller has worked hard with Anderson on developing touch on shorter throws and longer ones that require him to drop the ball between coverage. |
