Marist Liufau will shock the NFL This Season, Here's Why

[SteveTheCowboy]

Sometimes I wonder if some posters have a masochistic streak and start threads just to get worked over.
I mean really
the title of this thread just invites ridicule

I want Liafu to become a great LB and he has flashed but that is all
so this threat title makes me roll my eyes

You can't rack up likes just hanging out or boring stories. Gotta juice it up man!

I hope he breaks out, didn't see much beast in him last year.

You expected to see beast mode from the 87th pick in the draft as a rook?

In fairness, the other 31 fanbases and engaging in the same kind of nonsense in regard to players on their favorite team’s roster. It is the off season. There’s better than 500 sure Hall of Famers in the NFL every June.

Right? Every team has "a guy" who's going to unleash his greatness this season. Dallas has an entire roster of future pro bowl players every June and our GM is among the very best.

People keep acting like this is just some pet project who had a few snaps

He played in every game last year and started 9. 50 total tackles, 30 solo, 1.5 sacks, 3 pass deflections, and 2 FF

These are good numbers for a rookie. He played about as well as you expected for a 3rd round guy that was considered a reach. Certainly someone to watch this season.

And he did that with a lame duck DC in Zimmer.
A very hard system to learn.

We need to see how he does with Eberflus, with LB's being his specialty.

Beasts don't hide or care what round they go in. They show up on the field. Looks like he'll be a decent player but he's not a beast.

Going out on a limb here I know, but I hope he can eventually replace either Sanborn or Murray in the nickel permanently.

I'm not a big fan of either.
