San Francisco 49ers: 2019 ‘State of the Franchise’ (defensive line)

Related Topics: lineman

While the San Francisco 49ers secondary came into a lot of criticism last season, I thought it was a bit harsh on the players out there.

Yes, the secondary wasn’t impressive in 2018. But can anyone really say that it wasn’t in no small part because of the Niners’ abysmal performance in the trenches?

Well, the team certainly thought so as it beefed up the defensive line a lot, while the secondary received comparatively less attention during the offseason.

We’ll get to the secondary soon. But today, it’s time to evaluate what the situation is for the defensive trenches.
