For 49ers’ defense, a standout game after a loss to forget
Dec 20, 2015 at 11:21 PM
• --
When 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula cited his team for a failure in the area of "fine focus" Sunday, he probably should have aimed that microscope at the offense. The 49ers surrendered just 242 yards to the Bengals, Cincinnati's lowest production of the season and the best stoppage of the year by the sharply focused 49ers. [...] they faced A.J. McCarron in his first NFL start. [...] McCarron, as the saying goes, is an NFL player, gets paid, too, and the 49ers held him to 192 passing yards. Had it not been for two bobbled passes by 49ers tight end Vance McDonald and a bad punt by Bradley Pinion, the 49ers might have marched into halftime 0-0. The Bengals finished with just one scoring drive of more than 36 yards. Credit defensive coordinator Eric Mangini, who has played all roles this season, from dunce to Mangenius.

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
