One of those concussion defender helmets.

I believe that was #69 Anderson. He looked pretty good out there, again. Dallas got 56 yards rushing

Sam O and Anderson putting in work

He's got a nice motor and I think he's pretty good rushing from inside. He's the Arden Key of this iteration of defense

I know he isn't a rookie but it almost feels like he is. A good find for sure.

Man, whoever identified this dude after the SB deserves major props. It's crazy that he was acquired as a reserve/future contract. I'm watching SO work his technique, power, tenacity, rush plan, etc, and feeling confident in saying he's legit. Even when he's not getting home, the dude constantly moves the QB off his spot and affects the QBs drop. He's also a hammer in the run game. The squatty build, power and tenacity kind of reminds me of James Harrison.

He's also only 26 years old.

SO > Leonard Floyd

This kid is a keeper for sure, him, Bosa, & Beal could be a nice future trio, still need a legit speedy rusher opposite Nick, I do like Floyd & Gross-Matos, as short term guys, not long term.

Why isn't he in on more plays? He flashed a few times last night and seems to have high football IQ as well.

This years version of Charles Omenihu and Kerry Hyder. Random depth DL who start getting a hand on the QB as often as an elite pass rusher for some reason.

Check out this rep vs Seattle in their money package with Sam playing a wide 4. Absolutely filthy win by SO. I'm sure Nick has been giving him pointers on the double swipe. I love that Sorensen is mixing up his personnel in these rush packages and also allowing his guys to rush standing up. One of the impressive things about SO's athletic profile is that he's an explosive dude in a short but BEEFY package.

#SanFrancisco49ers DE #SamOkuayinonu with the smooth euro step double swipe sack. 9/10 times that jab step will freeze the feet and prompt the hands. If the DL beats the hands, it's almost always a sack or pressure. pic.twitter.com/aPjlgs90sG
