He went from being called one of the worst LB's in the entire NFL to a less than elite pass rusher/CP.

Not bad in < 1.3 years.

He could have 20 sacks, I would still want a premier pass rusher to start opposite of him.

Even if he continues this pace we still need another OPR opposite him...

Yep. He's the "Smith", we still need the "DT".

What a nasty thing to say.

That man has done nothing to you...:shake:

LMAO Damnit, Goober; you know what I mean.

At the risk of being blasted: we have a DT type impact player in DJ...he's just not being used that way.

Hali is a Beast. I think this year is going to be his break out year.

I have to agree with Dane here. Hali is pretty good and I'm glad that he's on our team, but he's not really a sack superstar or future hall of famer or anything like that.

fyp, qft.

I want him to see a urologist if he has 20 sacks.

He's a very good player and with the improvement in the team and run defense, he'll have a ton more pass rushing opportunities. It's hard to rack up the sacks when the team is giving up eleventy billion rushing yards and being behind every week like has happened the last several years.

Prior to that, the 49ers line gave up 2 sacks all year.

He slapped around Joe Staley too, who's in his 4th year.

I think having a coordinator who can effectively use him, and improved position coaches really can make a difference for Tamba.

I am trying to figure out where in the OP it even remotely refers to anything of that nature.

Shaun Smith is a sack superstar.
