Caple discusses the most important part of the team.
I honestly thought that Tupuo would make the kind of splash that Kikaha made when he arrived, or that Dissly seems to be making now. Hopefully this means the Everett native is finally showing up.
Occasionally we're hearing about Vita Vea and Jaylon Johnson, but one name that I haven't seen in the local rags - Greg Gaines. Kid is probably getting pounded by Charles, Tanigawa, and Christe, and getting in shape in the process.
My man crush on Caple will be complete if he continues with pieces like this.

Passion, if you haven't watched Vea's highlight video, I suggest you do so. He's out of shape and probably 20 pounds overweight, but I will be surprised if he isn't a monster in a year or 2.
Good news about Tupou. I didn't expect much of him. Maybe getting a fresh start with a new staff is what he needed.
Dissley is a surprise. I know Mathis has been hurt, but I wasn't impressed with him last year. He looked fat and soft. Too slow to be a DE, too small to be a DT. Of course, a redshirt year should have happened.
Choate said McGary is raw, but has huge potential. He's massive and doesn't have much fat at all. However, if he's not figuring it out by mid season, maybe he should switch to OL. We could also use him at tackle. -
I've seen it. If Vea has any motivation - at all - he should be an absolute terror.RoadDawg55 said:Passion, if you haven't watched Vea's highlight video, I suggest you do so. He's out of shape and probably 20 pounds overweight, but I will be surprised if he isn't a monster in a year or 2.

Mathis is a bid of a head scratcher. He has all the tools to be an force as a Red Bryant-type DE, or a 3-technique in passing situations. Might be a work ethic issue.
Elijah Qualls? Elijah Qualls? Bueller? Bueller? -
By the way, Evan Hudson was interviewed after practice Wednesday and identified a freshman that has impressed him thus far - Will Dissly.

Not hard to see that Dissly would be a player for anybody that knows shit ... he's clearly got a work ethic based on his background ... but he was a high caliber basketball player in HS as well while playing WR on offense ... if you have the ability to do that at a relatively high level that means that you have to have quickness ... place that kind of athlete on the DL and it's not shocking to see a kid that is able to beat OL off the ball, penetrate into the backfield, and cause problems.

Disagree. There are a lot of kids who fit that criteria that end up doing nothing in college. I doubt that will be Dissley, but it could. He's getting reps with the twos, big deal.Tequilla said:Not hard to see that Dissly would be a player for anybody that knows shit ... he's clearly got a work ethic based on his background ... but he was a high caliber basketball player in HS as well while playing WR on offense ... if you have the ability to do that at a relatively high level that means that you have to have quickness ... place that kind of athlete on the DL and it's not shocking to see a kid that is able to beat OL off the ball, penetrate into the backfield, and cause problems.
I did like Dissley though coming out of high school. Coming in at 6'4" 270 instead of the 6'4" 240 he was listed at in high school definitely helps. -
Heard that Shelton has taken Vea under his wing and grooming him as the heir replacement to his NT throne.
