SANTA CLARA – Here’s what stood out to me during Tuesday’s OTA.
THE GOOD
- DE Arik Armstead. Armstead is the 49ers’ second-best interior pass rusher after DeForest Buckner. Today, Armstead consistently pushed offensive linemen into the backfield using long, powerful arms. Armstead also beat a guard to the inside with a quick swim move, a move I hadn’t seen Armstead use effectively before. He seems to be improving as a pass-rusher. But, he still struggles against the run. He loses sight of the ball carrier, and fails to set the edge against play-action rollouts by the quarterback.
