[QUOTE="Marvin49, post: 483087, member: 7068"] Ordinarily I'd say I'm not that concerned. The Niners are really good against the run, but they have had issues this year with those BIG backs. The reason is that those guys have been able to break tackles after first contact, push the pile, and fall forward. The Niners are FAST and hit like mack trucks...but they aren't huge. If Harris is like Hunter, then I wouldn't be that concerned.... ...but with Justin Smith recovering from a partially torn tricep everything is kinda up in the air. Justin doesn't get huge numbers, but he's kinda like the spoke of the wheel on this defense. It all revolves around him. He takes up space and gives Aldon rush lanes and keeps linemen off Willis and Bowman. Jean-Francois (Justins backup) is actually a good player, but he's much more of an upfield, penetrating player than Justin is. In the past few games he's had a few sacks, but he also sometimes runs himself out of the play or doesn't occupy anyone so the linemen and TE/FB are getting to the second level. If Justin is 80%-90% of his regular self tho, I would not be all that concerned. That isn't a statement against Harris, its more confidense in the D. [/QUOTE]
