Yeah, I've seen it before. I watch a ton of college football and I was very familiar with Rush before he even became a 49er. He had 7.5 sacks as a senior playing on a loaded defense. He was a solid Big 10 DE. Regardless of the B/R hyperbole, that's about it.

This happens every year it seems. Last year it was Glenn Winston. Before that it was LaVelle Hawkins. People never seem to learn that preseason production means exactly nothing.

That said, I'm all for giving Rush a 4-game tryout. I don't know how much run he's going to get, though, since I'd rather have Brooks, Carradine, and Harold on the field instead of him, even in obvious passing situations.

No I've watched him as well prior to him coming to SF...we all know preseason production means nothing but you know what's worse is having no production in preseason lol.

Whenever his had a chance to play he's done something...I'm willing to throw him out there and see what he can do the first 4 weeks...he wouldn't be the first or the last UDFA to prove his worth in this league when given a chance.

I'd like to see who exactly Rush beat for his sacks this preseason. I'm going to see if I can find the highlights to see if he beat anybody who might actually make a roster. So far only found this one:

- Strip sack of Sanchez against the Broncos. He beat #66 Kyle Roberts,a 2015 UDFA out of Nevada. Roberts was cut yesterday.

Lemons run defense is way overrated. And we all know he can't rush the passer for s**t. Dude's a scrub. I'll take the potential in rush over the sub par play of lemonear any day.

That's why I said earlier I don't think he is making the team. The guys he was beating were horribad. Even Denvers starters are bad. They are back ups to a terrible o line.

Lemon been playing against nobodies and still had yet to show anything. The players don't get to choose who they go up against. All they can do is play their best and so far Rush's best > Lemons best.

I'm not arguing to keep Lemon. I'm arguing to keep Cromartie or Reaser.

Not a bad idea. We should be able to get by with 3 OLBs for 4 weeks.

So we should only go into the season with 3 OLBs?

Fair enough. I'm all for a 4-week tryout. I'm just not expecting much.

I'll take a Dan Skuta type player but we will see

Skuta was solid here in 2014. I get the feeling the scheme and the players around him made him look a lot better than he actually was. He was pretty much useless in Jacksonville last year.

He's probably a pretty good analog for Rush. Not sure about Rush's ST ability, though. He better have some if he has any hope of ever dressing on Sunday.
