49ers Arrive Wearing Their Game Faces NEW ORLEANS - For a team known for having an excitable head coach and an exciting young quarterback, the San Francisco 49ers seemed subdued upon their arrival in New Orleans on Sunday for Super Bowl XLVII. Coach Jim Harbaugh, clad in the usual outfit of black sweater and hat that he wears on game days, kept his outlandish sayings to a minimum. Instead, he stuck to a script that emphasized a focus on the present and was short on details. Asked repeatedly to compare his 49ers team to the great San Francisco teams of the 1980s and '90s, Harbaugh chose to speak only about next Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. "The organization has a tremendous history, and we're proud of it," Harbaugh said. This is new business, and our team is focused on winning a championship. Harbaugh might have come into the league as the backup quarterback for Jim McMahon, who famously mooned reporters in the lead-up to Super Bowl XX to lighten up his teammates, but he said he did not feel a need to provide levity for his players. "Dashon Goldson had a quote on our quote board about two and a half weeks ago that 'We get fresher under pressure,' " Harbaugh said. That bodes well for us. Colin Kaepernick, the second-year quarterback who did not become the starter until Week 10, seemed relaxed. When asked at what point in the last two seasons he felt he was prepared to take over as a starting quarterback for an N.F.L. team, Kaepernick showed off the confidence that has quickly become his signature. "I think I've always been prepared for this," he said. Helping the team's confidence is another week of rest and rehabilitation for Justin Smith, perhaps the key to the team's defensive scheme. An All-Pro defensive lineman, Smith sustained a partial tear of his triceps in a Week 15 win over New England. He has been forced to wear a large brace on his injured left arm and has modified his weight lifting routine. San Francisco's pass rush has suffered as a result. While the torn muscle is still not healed, Smith said the extra week of rest had helped and that he will not be limited against Baltimore. "I know how many more games I've got left now," Smith said. It's just four more quarters.
