In all honesty, there is no reason to believe that this defense can't be as good as the 49'ers from the past two seasons.
You're really letting this Alex Smith thing get to you C.E.
And, to be honest, the guy really is a pretty damn good fit for what Reid runs along with Charles and Bowe.
I really don't know why you're flipping out about this at this point.

I don't consider DeVito an upgrade. Lateral move, yes.
I'd take Pitts, NEs, and Texans LBs over ours (I'm also including Nikovich as a 3-4 OLB). I'm also using the imaginary premise that they're all healthy.
