49ers Turnovers and Sacks of 2009. Part 1 of 4, or 5.

Although he is playing very well. In fact , the whole defense is playing GREAT !

Nice touch

For a guy who just had offseason knee surgery and missed most of training camp, McDonald’s been a beast.

That was the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. Props to you, Sultan of Seitan!

Fooch, can you front page this? lots of work.

1) nice play by P-willy
2) Smith gets the great initial push that makes Warner uncomfortable. Should have been a strip sack (attempt at least) with the rusher coming from where Warner wasn’t looking.
3) McDonald actually prevents the sack by running into someone, can’t tell who it was, Parys probably but Manny disrupts a throw that never should have been attempted in the first place
4) Lawson gets the great outside pressure that forces Warner to step up into Smith and McDonald. So often a sack is caused by a player who won’t receive the statistical credit
5) Just a great stunt by Smith, God it felt good watching that one happen!
6) McDonald might have gotten away with a hands to the face there, but hey, it was a heck of a move. That’s a true individual sack right there
7) Lawson gets good pressure, ball shoulda been caught but again, Goldson showing his knack for being in the right place at the right time. WILSON!!!!! Not shown in this replay, Michael Lewis’s great block on Burleson during the attempted runback
8) Mark Roman? that’s good defensive scheming, F@#$^#$^ You Favre 9) Hoo-Ray for Ray! It looks like they just overloaded the LG and McDonald did a good job of bouncing to the inside and getting those big mitts up. Clements did a nice job of scooping the ball on the run... 10) Good pressure from Manny forces F#$^#!@$^vre to step up into Franklin, yeah NT sacks!!
11) Spencer does a good job of tracking the ball down. Couldn’t tell if it bounced off a niner’s hands or the WR. More of a Viking mistake than anything, but hey, I’ll take it.
12) Willis does a great job of avoiding Jackson, one of the better blocking RBs in the league. Nice to see him blitzing some more
13) Really mostly a colossal Rams error but give Jason Hill credit for flying down the field to knock whichever Ram kicked the ball into Danny A. so that neither Ram has a chance to recover the ball. Way to go McKillop for recovering at the bottom of that pile. According to Sando he’s the first NFC West rookie to score this season…didn’t see that coming.
14) Nice burst from Spikes but give credit to Brooks and Smith for also being on the scene
15) Good pressure from the niners, though the Rams actually did a pretty good job up picking up the blitz. This might have been a coverage sack more than anything.
16) Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb play by Boller, but nice instincts and reactions by Willis, you gotta catch that ball to score that touchdown.
17) I give McDonald full credit for executing that difficult scoop and run but not enough people are giving Lawson his due for staying true to his assignment, reading the reverse, penetrating into the back field and hitting Danny A. to ensure that the ball was free
18) did that play happen? I didn’t see the game, was that a fumble? If so, good job
19) Great, athletic play by Willis with McKillop cleaning up the crumbs

So that’s 18 turnovers and sacks through 4 games, which puts us on pace for 72 this year. I say we can do better, but that’s a damn good start

Awesome video compilation by the way
