Oh yeah, I been saying that in the 49ers thread, people don't notice how intentional a lot of our sacks are. Not that we want pressure and sacks, but you`ll see Alex usually doesn't try to scramble backwards and do crazy stuff that will lose him big yards, usually it's "oh shyt, pressure, no one open let me make this a small lass" type of sack.
Almost all of our sacks are the 2-3 yard variety. He still is an extension of Harbaugh, but that's what we need. He turns it on when has to, and he can we have seen it before. He's not store but he's not Trent Dilfer either.
I say it all the time, 49ers are a symbiotic team, you can tell the philosophy is all 3 phases make this team win, not one like GB, NO or other type teams. The defense plays stout ball not giving up much, the offense plays smart and limits turnovers while running clock and ST gives us the field position.
It's all by design, that's Harbaugh for you. Not about stats or making anyone look good. I love it
