The 49ers will take on the Dallas Cowboys and boast an undefeated record alongside the Philadelphia Eagles. Close to a quarter of the games have been played, so let’s rank each positional group for the 49ers.
Defensive Line
The discourse surrounding the lack of sacks for the defensive line has grown too loud. The 49ers have five players (Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrave, Javon Kinlaw, Drake Jackson, Arik Armstead) with ten plus pressures through four games. Bosa and Hargrave have an over 90 pass-rush grade per PFF.
The sacks are coming, but the line continues to generate pressures and is as deep as ever during the Shanahan/Lynch era.
