OSAKA -- "I think the 49ers are one of the top three teams in the National Football League," former Redskins quarterback and ESPN commentator Joe Theismann -- who has visited both team training camps this summer -- said Friday.
Speaking to The Japan Times in an exclusive interview at the Osaka Dome, where both teams practiced separately ahead of Sunday's preseason game, Theismann said: "They (the 49ers) are very good and have a lot of experience. They have excellent football players and they are a fast football team.
"The only thing they have to deal with is having the Rams in the same division. That creates a problem but at least they know how they stack up against the best in football.
