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.

| Big concerns: NFC West (SportingNews.com)
Arizona Cardinals The biggest issue facing the Cardinals is at quarterback. Derek Anderson is the starter but has struggled with accuracy throughout his career, completing 56 percent of his passes. But the coaches say he had more skills than Matt Leinart, who was released Saturday, in terms of arm strength and leadership.

| NFL Team reports: What we learned in the NFC West (SportingNews.com)
What SN's NFC West correspondents learned watching training camp and exhibition games: ARIZONA CARDINALS 1. There are issues at QB. Coach Ken Whisenhunt has concluded that Matt Leinart is neither the QB of the present nor the future. Derek Anderson took over the starting job after two preseason games and is expected to start the Sept. 12 opener at St. Louis. Anderson is hardly a proven commodity, however. 2. The strength of this team is still receiver.

| NFL team reports: NFC West breakout players (SportingNews.com)
SN correspondents identify three players from each team who are poised to step up their games this season: Seattle Seahawks WR Mike Williams. He has played so well in camp that it?s clear why he was a top-10 pick in ?05. He has size and strength and is in shape at 230 pounds. Seattle completed four passes of 40-plus yards in the first three exhibition games, and Williams caught two of them. He might be the most talented receiver on the team. S Earl Thomas.
