      Which guy - you back to talking about Tuli? I like him - he’s a real football player.

        So I have read different things. Is it true he played last season at 290 and lost 24 pounds for the draft?

        Like, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.

          No, his weight was listed at 290 but he was never close to that.

              He’s light for an NFL EDGE, but he’s also very young. Let the boy develop.

                I read 266. Mack 269, Bosa 280. I see no reason to worry. As you say, he's young and he's polynesian.

                  Mack used to weigh less, i think. He’s big enough for edge, he’s got power. Hey - didn’t this forum gripe loudly that we didnt draft a 236 lb edge (ahem).

                  He may be too light to slide inside but he’s got a lot of want-it in him and might surprise on pass downs

                    He may be light now, but as mentioned he is only 20, is about to train with the pros and I'm sure lots of "supplements" are available to him - nothing banned, of course.

                      Play Mack and Tuli on the edges and Bosa inside. Once in a while when the situation is right

                        The crazy part about both Q and Tuli is that they are both set up nicely to learn the craft first-hand by 2 pros.
                        KA/Mike and Mack/Bosa respectively.

                        If Q and Tuli are as studious and focused as they seem, they're in prime position to up theirs games to an elite level.

                        Bosa still using the spin move he learned from Ingram
                        who in turn learned from the great (and briefly a Charger) DwightFeeney.
                        who in turn learned it from Patrick Swayze (legend has it).

                          We need some dirty dancing on the QB in the back field this season. Where's Sean Merriman when you need him?
