Team effort: Turnovers haven't helped 49ers defense Yes, it's true, the 49ers are on pace to allow a staggering 501 points. That would tie for the third-most in NFL history. [...] it would be the most since the 2008 Lions (0-16) - the only winless team since the NFL adopted a 16-game season in 1978 -- allowed 517. [...] it's worth noting the 49ers offense and special teams deserve credit, um, blame, for some of those NFL-high 219 points. Opponents have scored points off 12 of the 49ers' 13 turnovers this season, and 10 of those giveaways have allowed opponents to start drives inside the 49ers' own 37-yard line. [...] even without those 54 points, the 49ers would have allowed 165 points, which would rank 23rd in the NFL. Opponets have scored 59 points off the 49ers' 13 turnovers this season: Turnover: interception. Turnover: fumble (muffed punt). Turnover: fumble. Turnover: fumble (kickoff return). Turnover: interception. Turnover: fumble (kickoff return). Turnover: INT. Turnover: interception. Turnover: interception. Turnover: fumble returned 9 yards for TD. Turnover: interception. Turnover: interception.

Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
