Seahawks are predominantly 11 personnel team. 49ers match 11 personnel with nickel ie only 2 LBs.
Means Tartt needs to stop whiffing arm tackles and step up.

I personally thought he outplayed greenlaw in preseason.
But like both
This is taken from 49ers program. Azeez is an incredible human, words I say cannot do justice to the adversity he has faced and overcome. I hope he balls out.
• Al-Shaair grew up in a family of nine, with his mother Naadhirah supporting him and his seven siblings. In 2012, struggling to make ends meet, the family moved into their grandmother's home in Tampa, FL. One night, Al-Shaair awoke to the smell of smoke encompassing the house. He was able to wake up and lead the rest of his family to safety, as they watched the house burn down. The family moved from place to place before settling in a long-stay motel. Al-Shaair chose to sleep on the floor, as the family had to fit into one room. He trekked two hours by bus each day to attend school and football practice, often only eating once a day, making sure any leftover food went to his mom and siblings. His work ethic on and off the field grew in that adversity. "My mom always told me, 'What's meant for you is meant for you,'" Al-Shaair said. "All you can do is put forth the effort, and I believe that I've done that."
• While at Florida Atlantic, Al-Shaair decided to move his two younger brothers, Abdul-Lateef and Abdur-Rahmaan, into his Boca Raton apartment. Constantly worrying about if they were eating or getting into trouble, Al-Shaair began to serve as the father figure of the household. "They were doing bad in school with their grade. I moved them here to put them in a different environment," said Al-Shaair.

Originally posted by Luckycharms:I agree. If Greenlaw struggles I hope we don't hesitate to put in Azeez. I really think he could be like an E Man, diamond in the ruff, unknown backup who has to play and ends up being surprisingly good.

I think Azeez will be better in pass pro than Greenlaw who is short and a bit slow. I do like Dre on early abs running downs. Good, sure tackler.
We're going to be starting two rookies and a second year guy at LB.....

One of those "rookies" is currently leading the conversation for DPOY. Warner is the communication head for the defense and has the absolute trust of Saleh. He knows the defense thoroughly and has been getting guys in the right place all year. As to Dre Greenlaw, he is going to be a solid player. Bet on it.

I could be wrong but I think Stubby was referring just to the LB position...in base, starting two rookies, Greenlaw at WILL & Al-Shaair at SAM, along with Warner at MIKE. One of the Matts mentioned Al-Shaair was the first one in at SAM with Greenlaw sliding over to WILL after Kwon went down last game.
