The biggest question for the San Francisco 49ers heading into the 2018 season is the pass rush. Yes, Jimmy Garoppolo is not a sure thing at quarterback, but we’ve seen enough to at least have optimism he can break out even further in his first full season as a starter. With the pass rush, DeForest Buckner offers optimism and we saw some solid work from Cassius Marsh late in the season, it’s hard to point to it as a unit that has a strong chance of success this season.
We’re spending this week previewing the 49ers 2018 season with Football Outsiders writer Carl Yedor (purchase their 2018 Almanac here), and I had to get their thoughts on the pass rush.
