He was a 4-3 DE his first year at SF and he was not a disappointment. He finished 2nd in the league in tackles by a DE (73), and also recorded 7 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and 17 QB hits.
See if you can tell which one of these seasons was with the Bengals and which one was the season Smith was selected All Pro with SF.
Season "A"...81 tackles (50 solo)...7.5 sacks...8 TFL...19 QB hits...3 PD
Season "B"...58 tackles (45 solo)...7.5 sacks...6 TFL...20 QB hits...2 PD
The only reason Justin got more love from the media was because the Forty-niners had the #2 scoring defense in the league in 2011. (season B)
