I was thinking about the Warriors squad, looking at their physiques, and decided I'd use them to make a better 49er defense, using current and recent warriors.
Here it is:
49er Defense: 3 linemen, 4 linebackers, 4 backfield
Nose guard: Turiaf, 250 pound of hustle. His job, stay low, and clog up the middle. If the center tries to take his knees out, vault him and sack the qb.
Defensive ends: Biedrins and Randalph. With their wingspan and speed, their job will be to stay on their feet, and put up a passing curtain so the opposing qb can only lob it over their 7+foot wingspans. Relentlessly chase the qb
Inside Linebackers:
Azubuike and Magette. These 2 will take turns blitzing the qb, and stuffing the runs.
Cornerbacks: CJ Watson and DNelson -- 2 quick cover guys that can cover the best receivers. Crawford and Ellis might be able to rotate in here too.
Free Safety: Brandon Wright will roam freely and swat down anything in the air
Strong Safty: Bringing back Baron Davis to lead the defense, call the plays and slam dunk any runner that gets past the linebackers.
