49ers All-Time Defensive End #2
After almost doubling our vote total from last season, Fred Dean has won again, this time with two-thirds of the vote. Although Hardman and Hart had greater career numbers with the 49ers, Fred Dean is definitely one of the truly beloved 49ers. It helped being on the Super Bowl teams as that...
49ers All-Time Defensive End #1
In a not so surprising result, Tom Rathman had an easy victory at fullback over Joe Perry. Plenty of folks are going to be disappointed by that, but as I mentioned in that post, I think the answer is to separate out the all-times by pre-Walsh and Walsh to the present. We'll see how we deal with...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1989
This is a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers 1989 season. 1989 ushered in a new age for both the NFL and the 49ers, but how would it affect the product on the field? How could George Seifert possibly fill the shoes of Bill Walsh? 1989 would end up being one of the most memorable...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1984
I would like you to enjoy a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers' historic 1984 season. After 1982 and 1983, the 49ers were still a team without a definite or recognized identity as a true league power. They felt differently in their hearts, however, and this will show you how that...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1981
What follows is a brief historical summary of the 49ers 1981 season. 1981 needs no introduction. Just three years into Bill Walsh's tenure as head coach, the 49ers not only reach the Super Bowl, they win it. Read on to see exactly how it happened. And then learn something about Fred...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1980
What follows is a brief historical summary of the San Francisco 49ers' 1980 season. Bill Walsh was taking the team into his sophomore campaign. Joe Montana was slowly wresting the starting job from Steve DeBerg. The defense was ... awful. 1980 was a transitional year, as the team shed the last...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1979
Fooch's Note: Howtheyscored was having issues posting this so I'm posting it on his behalf. Normally these go up a little later in the day, but given that we're finally entering the Bill Walsh era, they definitely deserve a little more prominent placement. What follows is a brief historical recap...
49ers All-Time Defensive End #2
After 153 votes, I'd like to congratulate Fred Dean, the first defensive end on our all-time team. While Cedrick Hardman and Tommy Hart put up better career numbers, Dean is definitely a favorite among 49ers fans. He had an impressive impact on some of those 80s championship squads and that...
49ers All-Time Defensive End #1
Now that we've got Nomellini and BY in at defensive tackle, I thought we'd fill out the defensive line with a pair of defensive ends. Over the last 40 years, the 49ers defense has gone to battle with a number of extremely talented defensive ends. They've rolled out the likes of Chris Doleman,...
