The San Francisco 49ers will be without running back and Ram-killer Frank Gore for their week 4 clash with the St. Louis Rams.

This can only be construed as an advantage for the Rams.  Frank Gore has hurt the Rams in the past and the Rams will be very happy to try to stop rookie runner Glen Coffee and quarterback Shaun Hill.

The 49ers are not without weapons with ageless ex-Ram Isaac Bruce and emerging tight end Vernon Davis.
