whats up with tui? is he gettin reps? He's huge. a guy that big has to be able to eat some blockers. has anyone seen him in camp? Has he practiced with the first team defense at all? Did he get minutes as nt during the first game?
Tui Alailefaleula. I saw him in on a couple of plays Fri night. Nothing too impressive. Definitely a backup and has "injury prone" written all over his helmut.
I wrote a bit about him in the game thread the next mornign. I actually thought he looked pretty good in the game. There was one bad play where he got locked up and didn't even see the guy run right past him, but there were more plays where he stood his ground and directed the play elsewhere, there was e en one really nice play where he stacked up the center, got off the block and made the tackle. He does NOT have great explosion or anything, but he clearly has power. I think he'll contribute this year.
I've been talking about him for like 2 months now. He got 3 tackles on Friday. Still got pushed around but I don't recall seeing him in the 4-3. He needs to be strong to play NT regardless of his weight because his job would basically be to keep 2 O-lineman busy to free up Vilma.
id make him the project of the Defense..if we can delveope him then we have a good stuffer in the middle
that guy down at mcdonalds is 350 pounds.. doesnt mean we put him at NT. Its more then just being fat.
