Last season was a down year for Nick Bosa by his standards. And that's because he started slow. Through the first eight games of the 2023 season, Bosa recorded a mere three sacks. This was after he held out of training camp and signed an extension.
And that's because he started slow. Through the first eight games of the 2023 season, Bosa recorded a mere three sacks. This was after he held out of training camp and signed an extension that made him the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL.
In retrospect, missing all of training camp hurt Bosa's season. Which is why this year he participated in camp almost every day. “I feel like it's been a great camp," defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen said of Bosa. "I think he knew from the start, even talking to him when I called him in the offseason, I think that was always kind of his plan. And like you said, he's mentioned it in the past missing some time last year and going through it. He felt certain parts of his game, well now it feels like it's sped up and he's been real deliberate in how he's attacked it.
The 49ers will need Bosa to step up more than usual this season because defensive end has become arguably the thinnest position on the team. Which means he might need to play more than 75 percent of the defensive snaps which is his customary work load.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
