Yes maybe but we play 3 LB's a bit so he is going to have to play and step up.

I figured. But Azeez is bound to see the field more often. Plus isn't he a bit faster than Greenlaw?

Not sure, but Greenlaw was the one out there once Kwon went down.

Azeez will probably split reps with Nzeocha at SAM, which doesn't mean much since SAM plays like 2 snaps a game.

Yeah, heavy emphasis on a bit. They play 3 LBs on the field for only a small number of reps.

Not against the Seahawks. They will definitely test our base defense.

Gotcha. So you think they'll sign someone to back up Greenlaw rather than give Azeez a shot at those reps?

Seahawks are predominantly 11 personnel team. 49ers match 11 personnel with nickel ie only 2 LBs.
I like Azeez better than Greenlaw cuz of his speed. Hope he comes up big.
Azeez has closing speed, good instincts, and likes to thump
Like this kid. Let's hope he is ready!
I know the job is going to Dre, but if it were me, I'd give this kid a shot at it too

Yes only about 20 to 25 %

Means Tartt needs to stop whiffing arm tackles and step up.

I personally thought he outplayed greenlaw in preseason.

But like both
