San Francisco 49ers defensive end Justin Smith has played in 185 consecutive games. That streak looks to be ending tonight as the 49ers will take on the Seahawks. Adam Schefter of ESPN, reports that Justin Smith will be inactive tonight with an elbow injury that he suffered last Sunday night against the Patriots.
Smith plays over 90% of the 49ers defensive plays and are a completely different defense when he is not in. Although, head coach Jim Harbaugh listed Smith as questionable, their plan is to make the Seahawks think that Smith will be active tonight. Smith has not missed a game since 2001, when he was a rookie for the Bengals.
Hes the Troy Polamalu of the 49ers. Take the working COG in the defense machine and the whole thing falls apart.
