Should have some scheme familiarity since he played under Gus Bradley in 2017. Was a 3-4 OLB from 2014-16 so probably has experience dropping into coverage. Perhaps can be Sam or Leo for the 49ers.

I initially thought the same, but given his inability to stay on the field, it's best that he's only used as a rotational piece in pass-rushing packages.
Eli is likely safe--for now.

Sus likes it
I've seen him play many times and always thought to myself "I wish he was on the 9ers."
Nice, seems like a low-risk upside move

That's what I see...the perfect Sam for this team if he can stay healthy.

This signing has little bearing on Eli Harold and Dekoda Watson. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but Harold and Watson play SAM, who's main responsibility is run defense on the edge. Attaochu will be a LEO in our scheme, his main responsibilty is pass rushing.
You can rush from the SAM role we still need a LEO

Nothing wrong with competition for Eli Harold at SAM.
Nice low risk signing.

It's not the easiest to find film on Attaochu, but all the clips I'm seeing have him rushing off the edge, haven't seen him in coverage at all. If someone finds film of him in coverage I'd be interested. I'm seeing him more as a LEO and I'm just not understanding the Eli Harold hate. I don't see Attaochu as his replacement.

He'll play edge and get after the QB.
People get way too caught up on the SAM/Leo stuff.

Yup, thought we would end up with him

The #49ers signed former #Chargers LB Jeremiah Attaochu to a 1-year deal worth up to $5.125M, source said. He gets $2.5M fully guaranteed. Played in 4 games last year, but had 6 sacks in 2015.
Basically the cap space we got from the Kilgore trade.
great signing, could be like the goodwin version on defense.
Being that I'm a Georgia Tech fan...I like it.
