You don’t need to be reminded that the San Francisco 49ers are in need of improvement in the pass rush department. The 49ers defense accumulated just 30 sacks in 2017 which ranked 26th across the league.
It’s not just a one-year drought either. San Francisco hasn’t ranked in the top half of the league in sacks since 2012. In addition, the team hasn’t had a player produce a double digit sack season since Aldon Smith’s All-Pro campaign that same year.
led the 49ers in sacks last season with 6.5. and were up next with three. Four 49ers defenders had two sacks.
