I really don't care about the inside information he is able to provide. If Detroit was really serious about that, they can just sign one of the defensive players we release and put that player on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 And insider info is pretty useless since gameplans are not in place until the week of the game. He might be able to convey basic information that others could already provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pita is the popular name amongst fans, but he only gets in during 4th quarters of these preseason games so it can't be him. Possibly Attaochu or Watson? Dumervil!

49erurtaza Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hopefully he gets in early on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Harold in nickel situations wasn't in the game anyways. Or is Maiocco saying Warner will get some time at SAM on base downs? Warner had 7 sacks throughout college, it could be a good idea to try him at SAM. Warner - SAM Smith- WILL Foster- MIKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warner - SAM Smith- WILL Foster- MIKE I think I may be still battling through preconceived notions of Warner. I didn't have him tagged yet as a defender that can hold his ground well against TE/OL blockers. As an edge rusher, I'd figure him completely done if he doesn't get entirely around a blocker, and I mean worse than Manny Lawson. Just have to see more, I dunno. .. and I'm struggling to count on Malcolm Smith for anything, other than cap stealing and bench warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm going to be completely honest. I didn't even know we had a Mark Nzeocha on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have better options to rush the passer, which is a skill that we need more than coverage at SAM in my opinion; so if he's good, maybe he should replace Smith for the WILL (or put him at MIKE and Foster at WILL). Unless they're changing the essence of the SAM position to a coverage LB, then I think Warner fits there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudyZ Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 This was just such an obvious move to make. I already preferred Watson to him, and believed Pita should get more reps. I don't know about the other guy with a weird spelling, but he's perhaps shown more upside than Eli. During the offseason, I figured Marsh should be part of the competition at SAM, instead of Leo. I'd rather Atchou to rotate at Leo, perhaps with a returning Elvis, and perhaps even Marsh, while Marsh is also getting looks at SAM with Watson, depending on the context and the opponent. But I like the idea of simply having your best LBs on the field at the same time. I don't know if Malcolm Smith is one of our top 3. Has he ever been healthy long enough to show what he's got? But if he is, and Warner also is, scheme be damned, play all 3 as much as you. I know the scheme calls for specific roles and assignments, but you adjust to the players you have, you create new roles, and you give assignments that make sense. You don't just leave one of your best players on the bench simply because he doesn't fit a preconceived notion of what X player should be. If you don't have that X player on your roster, just play the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
