BAWSE!

The sack brooks had is usually the stunt we run with Aldon and Justin Smith. That would've been the record.

Noticed that and was puzzled.

9. Which defensive player will be the biggest X factor? Aldon Smith. The San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker should've made the Pro Bowl after producing 14 sacks in his rookie season. The people who overlooked him for that honor should have no problem noticing him when the playoffs begin. Smith is the kind of pass-rushing weapon that is vital for any defense in a season in which quarterbacks have dominated. A raw talent when the 49ers drafted him seventh overall, he's grown up faster than imagined, as proven by his 6.5 sacks over his past five games. Smith already has four multiple-sack games this season. He'll have at least one more in the playoffs.

NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year: 49ers LB Aldon Smith
I really didn't think I would do it. I thought for sure Miller had this honor locked up. But Miller's play and production fell off a cliff after his thumb surgery, and, although Smith played far fewer snaps and is more one-dimensional than Miller, I had to give him this award.
I actually considered giving it to Texans DE J.J. Watt, as well, but, in the end, this is a passing league and the pressure Smith can put on a quarterback was just too overwhelming to ignore.
Smith has a fantastic body type for rushing the passer off the edge. He is tall with very long arms with big strides. Smith is built for speed. But he also uses those long arms extremely well to hand fight and to keep blockers away from his body. Many players with Smith's dimensions lack power, but that simply isn't the case here. He is a natural knee bender who plays low with leverage, and he can convert his fantastic initial explosion off the snap into bull-rush power. He is adept with stunting and has more than just speed and a bull rush in his repertoire.
Smith was not a full-time player as a rookie, and he still needs work on early downs against the run as well as on his coverage skills. But those things will come before long. Smith is just too good not to be on the field full time.
