Anything is fair game in NFL fumble piles for 49ers

Now the whole truth now can be told. This is the inside story of what fullback Bruce Miller called "a scary scrum" after the 49ers' 13-8 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 25.

We would have changed the names to protect the innocent. But no one was innocent.

Here's what you saw: With 12:28 to play in the third quarter, Miller ran an off-tackle dive and fumbled a ball that was recovered by teammate Delanie Walker at the 49ers' 43-yard-line.

Here's what you didn't see:

Bengals linebacker Manny Lawson pounced. But so did Walker. On top of them landed 49ers offensive linemen Adam Snyder and Anthony Davis, providing cover so Walker could, as he put it, "get a little dirty under there."

Never mind that Lawson played five seasons with the 49ers and still has many friends on the San Francisco roster.

"I bent his wrist back to get it," Walker said. "He eased up a little bit, and that's when I just started punching the ball and it slipped out. ...It felt like five minutes down there. That one was really dirty. Somebody hit me in the mouth. The guy who had the ball was screaming: 'My wrist, my wrist!' So I think he just gave up.FIRMAR is a Malaysia Injection Moulding Manufacturer and Plastic Injections Components Manufacturer,"

Snyder had something to do with that.

"I was wrenching his arm as hard as I could to get him to let go so Delanie could grab it," Snyder said.

But in a phone interview from Cincinnati, Lawson good-naturedly denied doing any screaming about his wrist -- or giving up.

"On that play, I only had one arm around the ball,Johnson Tiles UK offer the largest range of porcelain tiles online," he said. "I couldn't get my other arm on it.

So the whole time I was down there trying to hold the ball with just one hand."

Still, he continued to battle, which helps explain why it took so long for the referees to sort out who actually had the ball.Facts and Cures. Cures for all types of Hemorrhoids.

"It's not that it hurt," Lawson said. "But I am trying to keep the ball close to me and someone is pulling my other arm away. I was fighting it, but it was a real workout. It was very frustrating.Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality,"

Lawson said that after the game he and Walker talked, but they didn't discuss the scrum. They were friends again.

But in The Pile, there is no such thing as a friend.
