Time for a sack spree? DeForest Buckner thinks the 49ers could swarm Carson Palmer

A wide smile crossed DeForest Buckner's face the second he heard someone mention the most recent installment of Monday Night Football.
On their way to beating Arizona — the 49ers' next opponent — the Cowboys turned Carson Palmer's offensive line into a sieve, sacking the veteran quarterback six times.
“Oh yeah, I was watching that game,” Buckner said, still smiling. “It definitely got us excited.”
Six-foot-seven, 300-pounders need to eat, and the film indicates that a feast may be waiting for a ravenous 49ers defensive line this Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.
The 49ers have mustered only three sacks on the year — all against a Seattle offensive line that Pro Football Focus rates as the second-worst pass-blocking front in the NFL.
