Just for fun_fix the 49er defense

I was thinking about the Warriors squad, looking at their physiques, and decided I'd use them to make a better 49er defense, using current and recent warriors.

Here it is:

49er Defense: 3 linemen, 4 linebackers, 4 backfield

Nose guard: Turiaf, 250 pound of hustle. His job, stay low, and clog up the middle. If the center tries to take his knees out, vault him and sack the qb.

Defensive ends: Biedrins and Randalph. With their wingspan and speed, their job will be to stay on their feet, and put up a passing curtain so the opposing qb can only lob it over their 7+foot wingspans. Relentlessly chase the qb

Inside Linebackers:

Azubuike and Magette. These 2 will take turns blitzing the qb, and stuffing the runs.

Cornerbacks: CJ Watson and DNelson -- 2 quick cover guys that can cover the best receivers. Crawford and Ellis might be able to rotate in here too.

Free Safety: Brandon Wright will roam freely and swat down anything in the air

Strong Safty: Bringing back Baron Davis to lead the defense, call the plays and slam dunk any runner that gets past the linebackers.

Kareem as 12th Man

Lets bring back Kareem as the 12th man, to work with Biedrins, and the rest of the big guys. The guy is still 7'2", has great hands, and can pass. We'd only need his presence occasionally to give a 3rd option when Biedrins fouls out. Clog the lanes a little. Nellie could probably find a way to use him. Bring him in to post up with 10 seconds left for an occasional sky-hook. What do you think?
