Before the fact that the San Francisco 49ers lost Thursday night’s game to the Baltimore Ravens became known to the public, the former 49ers coach Steve Mariucci praised on the team as he headed for the NFL Network’s sideline set at M&T Bank Stadium. However, there is no idea on how he thought about the 49ers after they lost 16-6 to the Baltimore Ravens.

“I love the job Jim (Harbaugh) is doing,” Mariucci said of the 49ers coach before the game. “I love the fact they’re playing smash-mouth football. I love their offensive line — those guys are crazy. But the key thing has been Alex Smith. There is a good rapport with Jim and Alex, who is healthy and doing what we’ve expected out of him.”

Wearing San Francisco 49ers jerseys, Jim Harbaugh does really do a good job in bringing their defense back to be competitive since 1977 when Mariucci started his first coach career for the San Francisco 49ers.
