The 49ers' defensive line has been on a roll since Chase Young joined via trade on Halloween, but he hasn't been the only factor. Javon Hargrave, who had a career-high 11 sacks for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, experienced a slow start in the Bay after signing a four-year, $84 million contract in free agency. He's started to hit his stride, though, building chemistry with Arik Armstead and the D-line as a whole.
"We just know how to communicate," Hargrave said Wednesday of his budding partnership with Armstead. "We tell each other everything, what we're seeing, and really communicate off the field, too, like during this week, just telling him things, little tips we get. "Yeah, I think I got it now," Hargrave added. "Knowing all my plays, knowing what we're trying to do." 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan certainly has noticed Hargrave's increased comfort level, in particular in playing with Armstead.
