I'm expecting lots of sacks and checkdowns.

Alex isn't a gunslinger, but this "scared" angle gets way overblown. Lots of checkdowns from Harbaugh in 2011-2012 were designed plays... clear-outs. This isn't the old 2006-2007 days where tons of checkdowns went to Gore just because they were easy.
... then again, with a guy like Charles out of the backfield (or in), maybe it would be wise and beneficial to check passes to him frequently.
