      Justin Smith could somehow force opposing lines to double him even if they did not want to leaving Aldon one on one which really was not fair.. they could rush 4 and still get pressure on almost every play which is what made that D so strong. I see a little bit of that in todays niners team, they get pressures only with their line leaving the LBs free to roam and the DBs dont have to cover forever

      Yeah, it's just a shame that most of America didn't get to see him in his absolute prime, 'cause the 49ers were often relegated to local television due to how bad they were before Harbaugh became HC. He was still very good/All Pro-caliber during the Harbaugh years, but by then, he was clearly having some foot problems and wasn't quite like the beast during his first 3-4 years.
