San Francisco has one of the toughest defenses in the NFL when healthy. The biggest weakness on this defense has to be at cornerback.

Nose tackle Glenn Dorsey is already out for the 2014 NFL Season. San Francisco 49ers’ 3-4 middle linebacker Navarro Bowman is expected to miss the first six weeks.

San Francisco 49ers 3-4 right outside linebacker Aldon Smith may receive a suspension. Smith was seen making a bomb threat at the LAX airport back in April. If Smith gets suspended it will most likely be an 8 game suspension.

Patrick Willis compliments Bowman at 3-4 middle linebacker in San Francisco. Willis turns 30 in January.

This was supposed to be San Francisco’s last year to have a championship caliber defense. With all of these issues on defense, now you have a suspect 3-4 front 7 that can be exploited.

The 49ers are capable of getting hot near the end of the year and making a Super Bowl run. At the end of the day, the 49ers are only as good as their defense.
