There is a lot of hope that the San Francisco 49ers will be improved on defense this season. A lot of that hope has to do with the return of defensive coordinator Robert Saleh who is apparently showing he has some tricks up his sleeve in training camp.
Saleh was San Francisco's defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2020 and helped turn the defense into an elite unit during the 2019 season that resulted in a Super Bowl appearance. He departed to be the head coach of the New York Jets, and after that did not pan out he returned to familiar surroundings in Santa Clara.
