Does anyone remember OSA?

[big dog cowboy]

of course we lost that trade.

By any measure the Cowboys won that trade and it wasn't close.

Lol no.

Is the defense better? No.
Did they save money? No.

 

[DarkVader33]

He obviously wasn't. If he is the biggest part of the best run D in football then you can't conclude that he was part of the problem elsewhere.

The point is that his skillset does not prevent having a strong run defense, which is the logic that this board loves.

He is not the reason why they have a strong run defense.

 

[shabazz]

I faintly recall an Osa human-urine in the league......maybe the Giants?

 

[LouBrown]

Did I say he is?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I’m basing it on age and upside. Clark is 31 and Odighizhua is 28. Osa may not have quite the same stats, but that’s not always the bottom line, especially for DL who can have big impact without the stats.

IMO Osa has more upside overall. It’s not by a ton but to me it’s more about Kenny Clark’s decline. Four years ago I would probably have said Clark was better.

Oh I agree Clark is on the downside I just dont know how to say who's better when they play different positions and Clark's stats are better.

So 49ers have a good rush defense and he's a part of the solution but the Cowboys had a poor rush defense with him but he wasn't part of the reason?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Did I say he is?

You verbatim said he's played the snaps as to imply that it's because of him.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Who is that, did he run for Congress?

I'm not talking about that on here nice try

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dallas badly misses him as an interior rusher.

Horrific trade.

CP said he didn't fit his system.

So it was a good trade. And it got his contract off our books.

 

[big dog cowboy]

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.

Ding ding ding!

 

[big dog cowboy]

Lol no.

Is the defense better? No.
Did they save money? No.

Oh my gosh I know you are far better than that.

 

[FaSho]

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

Opposite for me lol. I watched one game and he was getting completely dominated.

FWIW, PFF has him rated 88/125 DTs

Big Q is 16th, Ogbonnia 26th, and Clark 73rd

 

[LouBrown]

Oh my gosh I know you are far better than that.

Where am I wrong?

The defense is not better. The defense is not cheaper lol

They're paying him $16m this year against the cap. They saved < $3m by replacing him on the roster with Barham.

You’d rather have Osa?

 

[LouBrown]

You’d rather have Osa?

Than Barham? Yes and it's not even close.

The Cowboys can't rush the passer and Barham can't get on the field because he isn't....good.

They should have kept Osa, signed a vet, and then drafted another LB (Elams-Orr) with the Moore pick or the pick they traded for Winters.

I don’t think Osa would be getting on the field here over Q which is why they traded him.

 

[Fmart322]

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

If you ask me, we did him a huge favor by trading him to the 49ers. He shouldn't be resentful one bit, imo.

 

[Bunston10]

Career game for Osa coming up me thinks.
