With training camp less than a month away, it’s time to break down what the San Francisco 49ers’ depth chart might look like in 2015. Let’s start with the defense.
On the base defensive line, the Niners may trot out three nose tackles (Ian Williams, Glenn Dorsey and Quinton Dial), and play two of them at defensive end. They would give the Niners a stout run-defense.
In the sub-packages, the Niners may take all three nose tackles off the field and replace them with interior pass-rushers. We might see frequent substitutions next season on the defensive line.
