Earlier today, I wrote about how Pro Football Focus named Elvis Dumervil the San Francisco 49ers best “secret weapon.” His pass rush productivity (pressures per pass rush attempt) are among the best in the league through three games.
Dumervil has been a situational player for the 49ers, coming into the game on passing downs. The 49ers defense has struggled at times when it comes to setting up third and long situations for Dumervil, thus cutting down on his snap totals.
Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh met with the media on Thursday, and was asked if there were plans to get Dumervil in the game more.
