Overview
- Morris, who held his first 49ers news conference Thursday, vowed to do whatever it takes and to build the defense around his players.
- He said the scheme will match the roster, with stars like Fred Warner and Nick Bosa driving the calls.
- He noted San Francisco’s four-man rush identity and pointed to past use of three- and five-man fronts to add flexibility.
- The 49ers drafted Romello Height, a lighter edge rusher who can rush or drop in coverage, which could expand five-man packages.
- He arrives with two Super Bowl titles on his resume to steady a unit that battled injuries and inconsistent pressure and to halt the team’s run of five coordinators in five seasons.
