As far as I am concerned, MVP of the SF game.
Yes Sherman stopped the last scoring drive but Kam was everywhere.
Stopping receivers from even trying for passes, intercepting the ball, and even though that run saving tackle did not stop Kap from scoring it set a tone. He ran back and caught Kap.
In all the Sherman rant crap a lot of people lost sight of the fact that our best player and most important player that night was Kam.
I especially find that gratifying because I remember when Kam was inked to his deal, there were quite a few people that felt that he was not an important piece, we should have let him walk, he wasn't worth the money, etc. There was a massively unfair pile-on in people not wanting to give Kam and Browner the credit for how they were the defining forces that set how physical the Legion of Boom was.
To see how Kam went from a dismissed player (from some of the fans of his own team!) to such a key cog, is amazing.
That guy was a find. Stellar, stellar player.
(It is also interesting they kept him at his position. He is almost big enough to play linebacker. It is nice to see that we didn't have a front office that got sucked into trying to play him at linebacker because then he could be a really fast linebacker...remember Urlacher was a originally a safety as a for instance.)
We would have never been in a position to tip that pass and put the game away if he had not been making the plays he was making all night. He won that game against SF for us, even if the last play depended on the play of someone else.
