    After reading Ale's background I can see one reason why coaches may consider him on defense. He is a golden gloves boxing champion.

    An incredibly important (but seldom talked about) skill for a defensive lineman is hand fighting. Defensive linemen can have a great deal of success if they can keep the offensive linemen from getting their hands on them. It requires lightning quickness and the ability to deflect the other person's hands and arms.

    NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long has talked about this, and so did another great defensive lineman from that era, Pierce Holt of the San Francisco 49ers.

    Several defensive linemen take martial arts in the off-season just to learn hand fighting techniques and to increase their hand quickness.

    Anyway, I have no idea what they will do with Ale, but his experience as a boxing champion is chintriguing.

    Kinda seems like Vakalahi to me. Since Malloe won't get Vakalahi, we might as well get Breasteffort and make Ale a strong as hell NT who's slow but immovable.

    So you're saying boxing skills are good for push up the middle?

    That's one of the acronyms I don't know. It always makes me think of lisfranc, the injury that cratered Ty's one almost mediocre season.
    I specifically asked for no racist crap

    Pretty much. And having a giant ass doesn't hurt.

    So you are suggesting he may have violent hands?

    From the 30 seconds I saw this year. I thought he would be blowing away the smaller guys he was going against. hopefully he puts up more film from this year. But he looked about the same as he was last year. So he still raw, giving him extra year to develop would not be bad. IMO

    We got him because he is an athletic 6’7 323 genetic freak. It doesn’t matter how good he is the day he shows up on campus you stupid fucks.

    I am not against taking him, just saying that grey shirting him would give us more time to develop him

    I like when he comments on other threads after he gets called out to analyze the film but avoids this one

    Bingo. This kid is massive and powerful. That's why we offered him.
