Former NFL running back Brandon Jacobs made some interesting comments recently about Jim Harbaugh on CBS Radio. As you may remember, Jacobs briefly played for the 49ers in 2012, the season they went to the Super Bowl. Here’s what Jacobs said:
“Going somewhere where they don’t have route conversions into certain coverages was just absurd. They’re just running routes in the defense, getting people killed. Size and strength is what they had, and that’s why they won. Let’s be real. They had great assistant coaches, but Jim didn’t know what he was doing. Jim had no idea. Jim is throwing slants into Cover-2 safeties, getting people hurt.
