Marcus Rush in a hurry to win a roster spot with 49ers

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- On the heels of a three-sack performance against the Denver Broncos on Saturday night, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Marcus Rush entered his team's locker room to a chorus of hecklers.

Yes, Rush had just claimed the top spot on the list of preseason sack leaders in one game but that wasn't enough to take the focus off what he didn't do. Namely, Rush had Denver quarterback Paxton Lynch wrapped up for a fourth sack and let him slip away for a short gain.

"Yeah, I've already heard a lot about it," Rush said after the 31-24 win.
