Sione Fua could be a Monster in our Defense.

[Bj-Monster23]

I went back a couple of days ago and watch a couple of stanford games from last year. And I notice on there Defense I saw these huge guy at NT putting a lot of pressure on opposing teams. I mean completely collapsing the pocket on almost every play of every game I watch. Then I notice it was Fua our third round draft pick. This guy can be a monster with the right focus and work ethic. He draws a double team on every play and still gets in the backfield and F" poo up. He does everything I know, a coach Like Rivera would want to see do in his defense. Also he does one thing that Rivera has been stressing and that keep the linebackser clean.

One can only hope your assessment rings true.

And oh yeah, FIrst!

[CarolinaNut]

that's probably why we drafted him.

[Bj-Monster23]

Our Defensive line can be pretty good if Fua and Mcclain can turnout pretty good... I swear i hope they do. They both have a lot of potential. Im really hoping Everett Brown can really break out this year. He was really on the verge last year into he got hurt for the rest of the year.

[CatMan72]

This ain't the PAC 10, but I think Fua will be a very productive player and we need a true NT when we use the 34 alignment on certain plays.

...still need a vet DT, Cofield sounds good to me.

[Urrymonster]

Just remember that DTs very very very very very very rarely play to their potential in their first year in the pros.

So if he doesn't play amazingly from day 1, be aware that he could improve significantly in the 2nd-3rd years.

Yeah thats true.. I also watch the Bowl game between VT. He did does guys the sameway. They are more of an physical offensive line group anyway. But What matters is what he is going to do in the NFL. The right work ethic and preparation he could be a really good NT in the league. And yeah We really do need to sign a vet. I wish we could get a haynesworth that actually wants to play. But it looks like the Eagles have there eyes on him. Probably be the right place anyway.

[vorbis]

playing with his peers in the senior bowl he definitely stood out to me. i was really impressed with how stout he was.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Dude is going to be a beast, bank on it. He's got a smart head on his shoulders and I don't see work ethic being any problem at all. I think Fua and Hogan will be the steals of this draft. Although, they were drafted in the middle rounds so how much of a "steal" is it really? If McClain and Fua have good rookie seasons, this defense is going to surprise a lot of critics around the NFL.

Are we talking Youtube highlights or actual complete games? Not razzing you, just curious how you got ahold of these games.

[4Corners]

that's probably why we drafted him.

:jc:

[mercules20]

we had a good defense last year

it was just the fact that they got a 4 play rest that killed them last year.
