Does anyone remember OSA?

[blueblood70]

I understand and it’s a fair point. But who’s a better player right now? IMO it’s Osa Odighizhua.

That is not what they were doing. Kenny Clark was already here When they made the decision to get OSA in a trade because they don't feel he fit since there are two different positions they chose, the positions they would fill his spot with would be multiple players and that would rotate in and out. And they were right, Bullard Ogbonnia,

All those guys who have been subbing in have done an admirable job for less money and we got a draft pick. Is that really hard to understand?

Hello, everyone in here thinks they're an expert. They question everything that professionals do, but in this case they made a business decision. And when OSA was here, the defense was getting destroyed in big games against better offenses. That's a fact. He was getting ran over just as easy as any of these other cheaper players were. I think that's the only thing we need to talk about. That's it...

In short, yes, with this team and its front office track record, I question everything. Why wouldn’t we?

I'm sure you do, a former 3rd rounder we drafted from UCLA, who was traded by us to SF. I'm pretty sure he has this game circled on his calendar. What kind of game do you expect from him? I hope we're not going to make him look like an all star or something.

He wasn't a bad player for us, I guess he just didn't fit our scheme. Looking at this defense, what does that even mean!! Lol, please give your input

He fits almost any scheme if your DC is smart enough to understand how to use a good player. Letting him go was a massive miscalculation. I was on board and am wrong. Should have kept him. Same with Demarcus Lawrence. We'd be so much better today had we.

The biggest difference is Osa is now on a much better defense and team. When Osa was here and Kenny was playing for GB it was the opposite.

Osa 2 sks (9 qb hits) 6 tkls 10 ast
Kenny 1 sk (5 qb hits) 7 tkls 14 ast

Dallas badly misses him as an interior rusher.

Horrific trade.

The only team in the league that gives up really good players. It's not a head scratcher, it's a business move. I mean, why did Philadelphia move Jordan Davis? I mean, but they did. The Cowboys thought they got a fair offer and they didn't need OSA. Moving forward, as much as they could use the draft capital, it's pretty simple. All teams do it. I didn't say don't question. I'm saying that that was the reason and OSA would not have made us a better team this year. That the defensive line, especially the interior, for the most part, has been functioning better than it has in a long time. Sands a few missed tackles that turned into big plays. Right now, we should worry about the outside linebackers. That has not been resolved..

The way they've handled the interior and I still think in the future Overton and some of these other guys will get chances to play. And we'll get the next OSA. It's not anything we should be sweating because it doesn't affect the way this team is playing this year because we've seen it with OSA and Parsons and we've seen it without the defense. Doesn't look much different. It's just switched and now we're getting more pressure inside instead of outside, so lots of things to clean up, but I think you get my point,

I think threads are started like this because. People just want to complain and open up another. Alleged mistake made by the front office, which I'm telling you right now needs to be put to bed. It was not a mistake.

Neither was the Parsons trade. See above other guys like Garrett. And Bosa and even Crosby got traded for a minute. It got pushed back. But they get traded. Players move around. But why are we a franchise that has to question when they do that, get a. What I would call fair value for what he was making money wise it's got off the books for us and got us a 3rd round pick. I don't see where that's problem.

He will have a big game on us Sunday

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So I'll throw out this disclaimer

I'm kind of on the opposite end

I've only seen about 3 halfs on 49ers games this year but that limited sample he was very disruptive

Maybe he just had a good game when I saw him

You are correct either way the Dallas organization is a spirit killer

I saw a game he looked good a few weeks ago in. I think thats just him. Hes gonna rack up pressures but I just never see the consistent rush defense.

Osa wouldn’t have made any difference here. On the other hand, I wasn’t happy when we let DLaw go

Who is that, did he run for Congress?

9ers have the best run defense in football and Osa has played, by far, the most snaps of any DL.

Better coaching, better surrounding talent. That goes a long way with how mediocre players play.
Part of the reason he was traded had to do with his contract. Jerry even said that. I think it was a good trade.

Put Clark on SF, and Osa back here. You may be saying Clark is the better player right now.

9ers have the best run defense in football and Osa has played, by far, the most snaps of any DL.

San Francisco 49ers interior defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa holds a PFF run-defense grade of 41.3 (ranking 107th among 125 qualified interior defensive linemen) for the 2026 NFL season.

Giving Osa credit for their success against the run is a wild take.

 

[DasTex]

Supposedly he didn't fit CP's defense.

Who does?? CP might need a cheat sheet
