unfortunately you have Jay Gruden and for the majority of the time Alex Smith not doing shit when given the short field.

Indicative of a good pass rush. But don't let the Jacksonville game sway anybody from the recent narrative - our defense has been shit for the last 5 or 6 weeks, and I'm not going to give them a lot of credit for shutting Jacksonville down because that's a college level offense they've got there.
Our defensive front is skilled and strong, and Tomsula knows how to coach leverage. Aside from that, Manusky himself adds no value.
If they shut down Tennessee and the Eagles then I'll believe they've actually turned it around. I doubt it very much. When we get embarrassed in these last two games the narrative will deservedly flip back to Gruden and Manusky needing to be canned.
