but Bosa isn't elite? He may not be the best but he's up there. When the offense dictates that Bosa needs 2 blockers, I'd call that elite.

People think Sacks is all there is to determine if a DE is elite or not. Pressures are just as important and Bosa racks those up every game. He is constantly getting the QB off his spot. Not to mention how good he is vs the run. People probally thought Jackson had a great game a couple years ago when he had 3 sacks.

But he doesnt lead in any major categories including secondary ones in the past 2-3 years.

He gets paid elite money to not kinda get there but to make momentum changing plays on a regular basis. He just doesnt. He disappears.

Yesterday Etienne ran through this defense as Purdy gave them 3 extra posessions. Is Bosa a stud run stuffer......

Yes he does. He's top 5 in most categories outside of sacks, including pass rush win % and pressures.

You clearly don't read numbers well lol

So TFL and sacks he is where exactly in 2024........Lets ignore that. He is paid to make momentum changing plays not almost.

No there isnt.

Its great he is providing a level of pressure on the QB but there is a big difference in a fotball game between almost and a highly impactful play like TFL and sacks.

#49ers' pass defense EPA per play allowed splits with and without Nick Bosa is eye-opening:

Weeks 1-2 (with Bosa): #3
Weeks 3-5 (without Bosa): #26

I'm guessing John Lynch has to get a pass rusher (or 2) to help ease the burden on the 49ers' pass defense.

He has two major injuries in his 6 year pro career. Outside of that- what makes him injury prone?

Was Bosa rehabbing? Why wasn't he at this game to support like Fred. Obviously the injuries are different but hes a Captain and I'm just wondering where he was at.
