Definitely needs to be kept

Six Sacks since week 8.

He's just gotten better in the playoffs. He's never had more than 5 sacks in one season in his entire career!

Has really come on the latter half of the season and into the playoffs. Guy is full-throttle all of the time and never gives up. Doesn't seem to have much in pass rushing moves but he's finding ways to be disruptive and get home here and there.

Kocurek has a shoot the gap kind of scheme. If you get somebody like Ebukam who has some sort of short area quickness, long arms, and ability to accelerate, and good size, you seem to do well in his system. DJ Jones, Arik, Bosa, Key etc... I love how he schemes the stunts and they are getting better and better each game. The wide 9 is really very innovative development when joined with the Seifert/Carroll defense.

I don't know too much about pass rush moves but it seems like he's simplified his rush relying more on power and leverage. He gets decent push, at times, when he gets low and tries to push the OT into the QB. He never beats the OT clean, just kind of helps to constrict the pocket. Add this to the push that the DTs get, and the QB starts seeing too much traffic nearby to feel comfortable.

He was always a streaky player for the Rams, too.

if the DL all do this and work as a team it has great results

i love that the DL is working as a unit and no free lancing and leaving giant holes

Armstead was the main culprit when he did this at DE

Now that he is DT he is forced to play in a way that benefits the entire DL as a unit

He improved quite a bit when Armstead was moved inside

Agreed. Now I'm rethinking cutting him lol. However that 8.5 tag is a lot.

GGiven his durability I think he can be extended which will stretch it out.

Also giving room to resign other guys and potential free agents because I can't figure out for the life of me who is the backup to Kwan Williams🤔

Samson Ebukam has been hitting the weights hard this offseason. He's already put on 15 pounds & now weighs 260, per his IG

He finished last season strong with 5.5 sacks & 31 pressures over his final 8 games. #49ers pic.twitter.com/2KtlycLS4X

Nice, I really like Ebukam, glad we're keeping him, maybe extend him on a short team friendly deal, save some cap room too, same with Ward and Moseley.
