He looked great. He was solid last year as well albeit vs the 2nd half scrubs. Two of his sacks tonight were vs the 2s

pretty good. He was dominating those 2s which means he could probably at least be average against 1s. They should give him some opportunities against 1s to see how he does. Carradine also did awesome! I think Carradine will have the OLB2 spot while Lynch is retired and might take brooks spot once Lynch is back. Eli and Rush will make good backups

Like his play 2nite but he needs to be more consistent not show up every once N a while.

Marcus Rush was a beast tonight. Three sacks and four hurries in 21 pass rushes. #49ers



they've gotta find a spot for this guy on the roster. He flashed last preseason as well.

Lemoniers spot
If this guy had average size for the OLB position he would be a monster.
He made the roster last night
I've been hoping he could be our Skuta 2.0. He and Garrison Smith are pushing to get on this roster.
No way this guy doesn't make the team

FWIW: An article on Marcus Rush before the 2015 draft. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2420336-2015-nfl-draft-why-msus-marcus-rush-is-the-best-player-no-one-is-talking-about

Provides an overview of his strengths/weaknesses and technique.

Even without Lemonier it would be Lynch, Brooks, Carradine and Harold. Unless someone goes to IR or we carry 5 OLB's I'm not sure he makes the team. Then again we could keep 5 OLB's for the 1st 4 weeks with Lynch being inactive due to the suspension. Then after week 4 he is cut when Lynch is active again.

This. I think Rush has a good shot at making the roster due to the Lynch suspension. He could be the 4th OLB, get some game snaps and who knows what happens if he impresses.
Rush was in Denver's backfield repeatedly...3 sacks, forced fumble, constantly harassing the QB's and disrupting plays. Not sure what else anyone could expect from him. Both he and Skov were consistently causing Denver's offense problems.

Yeah, with Lynch's suspension -- Rush should be a lock to make the 53 for at least the first 4 games. A team desperate for OLB pass rush should not cut a guy who is lighting it up, even in the pre-season. Beggars can't be choosers.
