Not sure how long this thread will be relevant with cuts looming, but Mark Nzeocha has been second string to Eli during the preseason and has taken more snaps at SAM than anyone on the team. There's a good chance he's the guy they've identified to take over at SAM now that Eli is gone.

The key thing in the Harold trade is he wasn't going to be on the team next year...so whoever earns the SAM position would figure to be around for awhile. We saw what Coyle did last year when Foster was out...he got better. Same thing could/should happen with Harold gone. Warner's going to be in the mix, no matter what position he ends up in. With Foster, Warner & Malcolm Smith, Saleh has a ton of speed, and that's never a bad thing in the LB corps.

Agree
AND we got something for him instead of just releasing him.

In early warmups, Mark Nzeocha and Pita Taumoepenu were the two #49ers at SAM linebacker following this morning's trade of Eli Harold.

We have been hitting on 6th and 7th rounders the last two years.

Starting SAM, for now:
Shanahan said Mark Nzeocha would start at SAM on Saturday but said there are many options on the team, including his ILBs.
