I don't know if i want him to make the team honestly, i like my D-lineman to both stop the run and rush the passer.

Tupou cannot rush the passer, unlike Atkins, Billings, DeShawn Williams and even Glasgow.

Peko was a space eater, eh. Raji was a space eater. They are good for taking up space.


Hardison has talent he just cannot get on the field and until he does he will be forgotten.

Fred just proves over and over that stats don't tell the whole story. Watch the damn game.

Haha....you nailed it.  I am just afraid of the banhammer so I didn't name names.  Of course, you knew who I meant when it comes to defending MJ.  

MJ is a really, really good guy and was a solid part of our defense for some time, but he just seems to have lost a step or two and doesn't have much of an inside counter move.  He just (seemingly every time) takes a wide arc and gets ridden 10 yards upfield.  Just because the QB sometimes scrambles in to him after he was taken out of the play was luck not skill.

I have always said:  show me what you are made of when it matters most.  Geno hasn't always been one to blow up a guard and kill a QB at critical moments.  I love the guy, but if you look when his sacks come it isn't always at critical times.   One guy that always seemed to make really big plays at big moments was Reggie Nelson, but a lot of that was the result of pressures and he was able to make teams pay.  Dre Kirk has actually had some big moments.  MJ simply isn't impactful at the key moments.  Solid run defender, but that is about it.  I can't wait to see what this new crop of young, tough DEs/LBs can do on the outside.
