SUMMARY
New coach Mike Singletary gave this unit some life last season. They emerged as one of the better defenses in the game the second half of the season. San Francisco ended the season ranked 13th defensively. Linebacker Patrick Willis has emerged as a premier defensive player. He anchors the 49ers young defense. Their pass rush could be improved with Manny Lawson getting some chances coming off the end and Parys Haralson looking to improve on his team-high eight sacks last season. Defensive end Justin Smith was a solid pickup for the 49ers last season. He isn't a superstar, but solid in run support and good at getting after the quarterback. The secondary will allow some big plays. Nate Clements is a more than adequate No. 1 cornerback. But the loss of Walt Harris to a torn ACL in offseason workouts leaves a void at the other cornerback spot, which is a concern. The 49ers had three special teams touchdowns last season, including a kickoff return from Allen Rossum, who did a very good job of the 49ers as their starting punt and kick returner last season.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
This is an up-and-coming unit. Their sack totals should go up some and the secondary has some big-play potential. The 49ers have a lot of young talent and a solid return game. San Fran will have some ups and downs, could be a good spot starter for fantasy teams this season.
