Via San Francisco's KNBR sports radio station, 49ers general manager John Lynch had this to say about his defense's lack of sack numbers against the Cardinals last Sunday: 

“I was a little bothered, you throw it 57 times and we’re not able to bring him down. But sacks are a byproduct of being around the quarterback. I thought we did pressure Jacoby Brissett I thought our guys rushed well. We just need to tighten up our details and sacks will start to come.” 

His comments come as the 49ers are currently the 32nd (worst) ranked team in the NFL in sack rate with only 12 through 12 weeks of play. To be fair, this is what it looks like when you're missing multiple all-pros and future hall of famers in the absences of defensive stars in defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Fred Warner. 

Is there a way for San Francisco to create more pressure for opposing quarterbacks? After a silent trade deadline, what else can they do personnel wise? Let us know in the comment section below.
