Honestly the 2011 49ers defense is one of the best of the newer era. Such a feared secondary and killer pass rush. Paired with two HOF linebackers in Bowman and Willis.
if you go back to the dynasty years, you will come across at least 2 heavy hitters as well. i think you will agree that Ronnie Lott and Jeff Fuller were probably just a little better. they were at least as good as lol ... but your picks were great as well.
Can’t tell me this wasn’t 1 of the best defense of the decade! Justin Smith/Aldon Smith holding down the trenches. Bowman/Willis holding down the middle and Goldson/Hitner holding down the back. Man miss seeing this team!
Not even a 49ers fan but everyone can respect this Niners defense! Everyone on that roster were all stars! Aldon Smith Justin Smith Isaac Sopoaga Patrick Willis Navarro Bowman Donte Whitner Dashon Goldson Like are you kidding me? Someone did the fantasy drafting on Madden that year haha
Man this is what today’s NFL Is missing.. FEROCIOUS DEFENSE!!! When ever I watch Fox and Aikman says “This has been a very physical football game Joe” I think in my head WTF is he talking about..
Much love Goldson!! You and Whitner were the best hitting tandem of safeties in the past how many years. Both of y'all could HIT. No other teams had a duo like that
Ahhhhh!! Dante Hitner! Goldson knew no other way except SMACK! He didn’t last in the league cuz the rules changed and he couldn’t adjust Love love these 2!!! They set the tone for that defense.
Man, that defense was so fuckin scary in those days. Goldson and Whitner safetys and then Bowman and Willis LB. also Justin Smith and Akron Smith up front. And everyone else on that D was so dam tough....
The hit in that Saints playoff game set the tone!!! That was the opening drive and looked like they were going right down the field for 7. That hit forced 4th down and they got the stop. Would have been a flag in today’s pussy ass game
Ahmad Brooks was one. He got flagged for helmet hit on Brees that DIDN'T hit Brees' helmet. A vicious, clean hit that looked like it gave Brees whiplash. That cost us home field. Absolutely **terrible** call by the refs. The other was Aldon Smith who was sacking everybody. This defense at its peak would DESTROY any offense today--no question. Niners-D, whaaaat?!
really the only thing that defense lacked was consistent corner back play... we had good corners but whenever we gave up a big play it was always at that position. man that defense was freaking scary wasn't it. can we get Donte Whitner as our DB coach.
Despite all the defensive firepower of the 2019/2020 season, the secondary still feels a bit suspect. The current duo of Ward and Tartt leaves a lot to be desired. Goldson and Whitner combo was leaps and bounds better.
I know but they're still young along with the rest of the defense besides Sherman so I'm willing let it go at least for now. Still doesn't change the fact that I miss Whitner and Goldson very much along with the others.
Actually no consistent over the years Jimmy Ward has really been a very underrated consistent safety these guys could hit super hard and had a couple pics but besides wittner DeShawn didn't have as long of a rain
Reid stepped up and had a better year than goldson in ‘13 season, tho he wasn’t as big a hitter as goldson. I’ll never forget when Eric Reid over ran the play and just chased Marshawn into the end zone smh
Not sure why either of these guys aren't talked about anymore. Some of the hardest hitting DB's of all time

Bowman aint hof tho :/ but u right
@@luiscortes9098 I think he deserves a spot in canton
Nobody wanted the ball!
@@hidef_official he wasn’t as dominant as Patrick was for as long he was amazing but not as jaw dropping they are two top tier backers either way.
It might change with Fred azeez al-shaair and Nick and Dre and Jimmy ward and ambrey Thomas
Man I still remember these good ol days.. BBNG
The year that everybody was scared of the 49ers defense man i miss this team so bad
Terrified!
Bring back this type of hitting please nfl
Most feared safety tandem ever. I miss those days.
Lol @ "ever"
if you go back to the dynasty years, you will come across at least 2 heavy hitters as well. i think you will agree that Ronnie Lott and Jeff Fuller were probably just a little better. they were at least as good as lol ... but your picks were great as well.
@@jodyedelacruz3725 lol the 2 players that cut there careers short because they didn't know how to tackle just like Ryan Shazier
It baffles me why we didn’t have multiple superbowls during this era!!!!
Kyle Shanahan would’ve fumbled this team as well. Should’ve had at least 2 SBs with this damn team 😭🤧
"the hawk" and "hitner"...miss this secondary and team! The good ol' days...
You mean the missle and hitner
@@derekkimble9554 nah he’s the hawk
Hawk and Hitner where a great duo they remind me of Lott and Chet Brooks
Hard to watch the 49ers of today because just a few years ago we were dominating teams... It happened way too quick.
Yea you dont fix something that isnt broken. I said this then and i say it now. They should have kept smith.
That's what happens when you switch Kaepernick from a Vick style QB to a Brady..
The GM should've never tried to run Harbaugh's offense!
Jed and Trent happened... 🤦♂️
well, im sure ur happy now being the best team in the league
I come from the future, your waiting will be worth it
Single-handedly the reason why the 49ers were OP in madden 😂. Fumbles everywhere
Current 9ers team needs to draft a physical hard hitting safety similar to one of these two when they have a chance
Can’t tell me this wasn’t 1 of the best defense of the decade! Justin Smith/Aldon Smith holding down the trenches. Bowman/Willis holding down the middle and Goldson/Hitner holding down the back. Man miss seeing this team!
I remember they didn’t even use Donte’s name they kept calling him Donte Hitner 😂
Not even a 49ers fan but everyone can respect this Niners defense! Everyone on that roster were all stars!
Aldon Smith
Justin Smith
Isaac Sopoaga
Patrick Willis
Navarro Bowman
Donte Whitner
Dashon Goldson
Like are you kidding me? Someone did the fantasy drafting on Madden that year haha
Hate how ppl put music over highlights instead of hearing them on the field
Hitner & Goldson - The Lumber Liquidators
Right now till this day I still don't understand how they let a high caliber defense get out of the palm of their 🖑🖐.🤔
OgShawtBoi 1600 it was Trent balky fault
Man this is what today’s NFL Is missing.. FEROCIOUS DEFENSE!!! When ever I watch Fox and Aikman says “This has been a very physical football game Joe” I think in my head WTF is he talking about..
If the 9ers had this secondary again with the pass rush they have now OMG‼️‼️‼️😭🙈
One of the most feared safety tandem ever
Much love Goldson!! You and Whitner were the best hitting tandem of safeties in the past how many years. Both of y'all could HIT. No other teams had a duo like that
I miss this team
Ahhhhh!! Dante Hitner! Goldson knew no other way except SMACK! He didn’t last in the league cuz the rules changed and he couldn’t adjust Love love these 2!!! They set the tone for that defense.
Fucking miss our 2012 defense
Man, that defense was so fuckin scary in those days. Goldson and Whitner safetys and then Bowman and Willis LB. also Justin Smith and Akron Smith up front. And everyone else on that D was so dam tough....
49er FEARSOME is going to come back guys believe that! With the work ethic to match our win column. 49ERS IT'S TIME TO DESTROY THE LEAGUE TOGETHER!!!
That D was FEARED
The hit in that Saints playoff game set the tone!!! That was the opening drive and looked like they were going right down the field for 7. That hit forced 4th down and they got the stop. Would have been a flag in today’s pussy ass game
This was my favorite year of 49ers football
Those 2 guys were awesome, loved that defensive unit .
That's when people were scared of us but were coming back I know it
Who were the outside linebackers cant remember the names but they were legit aswell
we normally just used two LB navarro and bowman...they were a fucken wall
Ahmad Brooks was one. He got flagged for helmet hit on Brees that DIDN'T hit Brees' helmet. A vicious, clean hit that looked like it gave Brees whiplash.
That cost us home field. Absolutely **terrible** call by the refs.
The other was Aldon Smith who was sacking everybody. This defense at its peak would DESTROY any offense today--no question. Niners-D, whaaaat?!
Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks even they were beasts especially Aldon
Niners Forever! No Matter What! I do miss those days....Niners for Life.
goldson
We had 2 Ronnie Lotts at this time !
Outstanding content and instrumental! Ain't NOTHIN like seeing that lumber laid properly!
The memories........😔
That's that GOLD
Adrian Colbert and Jaquiski Tartt are the next tandem
Marcell Harris and adrian Colbert would be better
This comment didn't age well

God imagine this safety duo with the current defense
The coldest safety duo in the 2000s
You can’t do em like this anymore.

Hall Of Fame years of a defensive unit, gathered together🙏 NinerEmpire.NinerGang!!
💥💥!!HITTER SQUAD!!
Best duo!
Dope vid bro!
9ERS 4LIFE
Those guys put fear in opponents. Gotta get the secondary back right.
hell of a duo we had until we drafted that bum Reid
Carlos Iglesias Eric reid is hella good but dashon goldson is better
Reid stepped up and had a better year than goldson in ‘13 season, tho he wasn’t as big a hitter as goldson. I’ll never forget when Eric Reid over ran the play and just chased Marshawn into the end zone smh
Fuckin bash bros. Gonna have to cop both these jerseys not that the nostalgias hit me
00:45

RANDY JUDAH TALK 🎼❤️

Don't need the sound track ! Need the sound of those brutal hits yo.
sigh.

I always wondered "what if" chancellor and goldson played together...
