49ers defensive line coach Jim Tomsula insists the razzing by his defenders is all in good fun. Tomsula started Smith for the regular season finale in 2010 in Tomsula's lone game as interim head coach following the firing of Mike Singletary.
"They're throwing that out there. That's an inside joke to Alex,Sac �� Dos Kanken Soldes," Tomsula said. "They all just like him so much, they really do. It's a good banter, is what it is."
