Oh my
Where did this guy come from? Sack last week and put up a ff + several quality pass rushes in limited opportunities
I thought he played really well. Even knocking the ball out. Great play from him. Very surprised.

He was signed to the teams' practice squad last year, during the playoffs I think it was playoffs, then signed a reserve/futures deal after the Super Bowl, he looks like a keeper, would be just an ERFA after 2024, $1.03M tender for him & Jake Tonges, I hope we promote Evan Anderson to the 53-man roster sometime this season, even if we get Kalia Davis back, definitely if Davis isn't back.
Okuayinonu (oh-KWAHN-new) looked like he has the GTFO that Kocurek likes

Agree. Davis honestly looks like a good rotational piece at both DT spots, but the dude just can't stay healthy. Just like in college, solid player but unfortunately he's always hurt.

Luckily for the 49ers Davis isn't a UFA till 2027, he's a RFA after 2025 since he missed all of 2022, I'm not all concerned with injuries, the happen, I'll wait to judge whether Davis can be a long term answer or rotational piece or not, but Anderson & Okuayinonu are two good players that need to be kept. I'd like to also see Nugent get some time, doubt he will get signed by another team though.

he had a real quality sack against LA too. He's looking good

He's played well in every game I've seen him in. At worst, he seems to be a great quality depth player but I think he may be a gem.

im just glad we are finally getting something out of the unknown backups for the first time in a couple years.
Him and Warner were the best defensive players on the field.
Liberia huh'

here I was thinking the brother was Nigerian.
Sam O looked impressive today. I hope he gets more reps.
Wow. As a lifelong Niner fan who prides himself on knowing the roster and, quite possibly, dedicating too much attention to this team...I admittedly had no idea who the f**k this dude was.

I'll be sure not to make that mistake again.

We're thread bare on defense and guys like him—and Kevin Givens—can make the difference and patch the holes of the boat.
Liked great today on the rotation. Hoping be continues to do well against better olines.
What a pleasant surprise.
