There may be significant change coming for the San Francisco 49ers' struggling defense. Since Week 2 we've seen the 49ers mix up their personnel to try and help that unit.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Wednesday in a press conference indicated Hargrave's season-ending triceps tear may act as a catalyst for some scheme changes.
The number of players the 49ers can realistically rely on to 'step up' in Hargrave's absence is small. Defensive end Nick Bosa will need to look more like a Defensive Player of the Year.
They may have to alter things in the secondary as well changing when and how much they run zone coverages vs. man coverages.
