its my belief that teams are moving away from 4 linebacker sets. A lot of the formations now a days call for an extra secondary player whether it be a safety or an additional corner.speaking of PWillis, i know a lot of knowledgeable CFB cats in here are already looking towards that 2017 draft. yall know any good ILBs we should keep our eye on this year? besides a competent QB, I want nothing more than a competent, run stuffing ILB to complement Bowman.
you could tell 52 was sorely missed last season on run plays. more often than not, he was able to get to a back immediately after they got past the line of scrimmage and before they could break into the open field. we were getting GASHED up the gut last year, and not just by Marshawn.
[h1] Teammate on 49ers DT Arik Armstead: ‘He’s killing it’[/h1]
Jim Harbaugh has often said NFL players make their biggest jump between their first and second season.
And it appears 49ers defensive tackle Arik Armstead, 21, could be a prime example.
The No. 17 overall pick in 2015 has had an impressive start to training camp after a quiet rookie season that included one start, 19 tackle and two sacks.
Armstead, listed at 6-foot-7 and 292 pounds, has been consistently collapsing the pocket with a strong bull-rush. When Eric Reid was asked if he noticed Armstead had a different mindset in his second training camp, the safety smiled.
“Have y’all been watching the kid?” Reid said. “He’s killing it. He’s focused. He’s making plays. When you see him, he’s doing what you think he should do based on the way he looks. The kid’s a monster.”
The 49ers have drafted a defensive player in the first round in four straight seasons. In 2016, it appears Reid (2013), Armstead and cornerback Jimmie Ward (2014) will start, while defensive tackle DeForest Bucker, the No. 7 pick this year, could join them.
“If (Armstead) could being DeFo along with him,” Reid said. “That would be awesome, too.”
kap tried to test the rookie and paid the price. i'm digging rashard robinson's swagger. that look he gave deandrew white after he snatched the ball.

hearing nothing but great things about him in camp. he's up to 185 lbs. his situation is very similar to lynchmobb's coming out of USF. #steal

Well, that didn’t take long.
Niners rookie defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, the No. 7 overall pick, required fewer than six training-camp practice to vault from third-stringer to starter. Buckner, Arik Armstead, a 2015 first-round pick and Quinton Dial have been forming the first-team defensive line.
“We didn’t give him anything,” defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil said. “He had to earn it. He earned our respect. He earned the players’ respect. I think all of our guys know, we don’t care where you were drafted. You’re going to have to earn it.”
The 49ers’ other first-round pick, Joshua Garnett, could soon earn a similar promotion. Garnett, who missed most of the offseason program because he was still enrolled at Stanford, has been lining up as the second-string right guard next to tackle Anthony Davis. Guard Andrew Tiller and tackle Trent Brown are ahead of them on the depth chart.
Tartt returns: Safety Jaquiski Tartt participated in his first practice after he spent the early part of training camp on the active/non-football injury list with a pulled muscle.
Tartt, a 2015 second-round pick, doesn’t figure to crack the starting lineup with Eric Reid and Antoine Bethea on the roster. However, O’Neil indicated he’d be used extensively in other defensive packages. The 49ers plan to have Reid cover tight ends in the slot in certain situations.
(Tarrt’s) “a guy that’s a part of our plans,” O’Neil said. “I’m excited to get him out there and get it rolling, because we haven’t really been able to utilize some of those packages because he hasn’t practiced. And then when he’s back, that allows us to do some things with Eric and allows us to do some new things pressure-wise.”
