Could for sure be the best defense we've had in this "modern era" of the nfl where the league is pass happy and the offense has a huge rule advantage. Could end up being our best defense since 2011-12 when we had Jsmith, Aldon, McDonald, Willis bowman etc etc

Unfortunately I don't think we'll see that type of defense again but I'm hopeful we do. Then to complement it we had Frank Gore and that bruising O line

Just given how rules have changed, we won't see a defense like that 2011 one again.

Whitner literally concussed Pierre Thomas into a fumble in that epic Saints playoff game.

Those kinda hits were routine for SF back then and they'd be flagged up and down the field now.

I kinda look at those seasons (2011-2013) as the last frontier for a truly violent defense.

True, don't know if there will ever be another Willis laying the lumber like that again in today's age or if LB's will even be allowed to make those same hits ever again.

they arent many weapons i would trade Deebo, Aiyuk, and Kittle for

We possibly have the best trio of weapons in the NFL and all are young too

Kittle is 28...

Still pretty young. He's not Vernon Davis after all…
compare both of their first four years..

Why? The point is whether or not he washes out, not what he does his first few years.

Or that Dashon Goldson hit against Arizona. That defense was absolutely ferocious.

We didn't need a bounty. Our guys just loved laying the wood on MFers.

I still remember the hit by Willis on the Jets player. He almost took that dude's head off his shoulders.

i really do not think aside from goldsen.. our hits were bounty like and dirty.. never saw a team tackle so perfect than that one... i got so used to good tackling... when jh left and we got what we got.. i was just stunned.. to this day.. i get crazy over poor tackling.. cuz of that 2011 team.

My favorite hit was from Ahmad Brooks who turned Drew Brees neck into stretch armstrong.

2019 was a close run to 2011.. but yeah 2011 was incredible.. we should have been blowing out teams if we had an offense
