Yeah it was nice but he also had an insanely productive game about this time last year against the Giants and basically disappeared for most of the rest of the season.

It's a long season. Smart fans ride it out. Not so smart ones think that whatever just happened is OMG the new norm going forward.

Funny he is 2nd to Donald...the guy he reminds me of. Obviously not nearly as good but he has that type of game...he just needs to get home more but Micah and CO are stealing a lot of sacks from him haha
He keeps the QB from stepping up in the pocket to avoid the DE rush. It works both ways

Osa is sorta like Aaron Donald.

the defensive line reminds me of the 90s platoon defensive line. we had Haley, who was great and the rest weer good to really good, not great, but man we rotated those DL men and by the 4th quarter, the OL was worn out and they got to the QB in the 4th when it counted the most. so this is similar DL, we have Parsons who is our Haley, and Osa, Bohanna, Hill, Armstrong, williams, Lawrence, Fowler, Gallimore and they just rotate through and keep attacking that OL. they stay fresh and each present a different problem and the OL can't get comfortable or into a rythm. plus Quinn moving them around,lining them up differently, so far the DL has been MVP of the defense.
Yep. Wandstandt had them attacking and hungry. Haley played all the time and Jeffcoat and the rest of the crew came in and out with fresh legs. We had Cassilas, Lett, Jimmie Jones, Maryland, Tolbert. I'm probably missing a couple but that D-line was always flying to the ball. Haley set the tone and everyone followed. Parsons sets the tone and everyone is feasting.

They got Dairy Queens in Texas?

Hey, do you think that's the actual reason why McCarthy hired Quinn? Someone asked him if he wanted DQ?
And the your post before you were questioning fans about smartness?

There have been people posting here that Osa has been disappointing this year. Not sure what they are watching.

He hasn't been disappointing, far from it, but I do think this game elevated him quite a bit from where he was. I think he's our most consistent DT and certainly not a bad player. Stats can get twisted or skewed, though, by one big game, especially this early in the year. Glad he played well and hope it continues. We need that interior pressure without having to always rely on the DEs lining up as DTs to provide it.

I worry about the run D still

The Eagles will be a stout test. If we can limit their run game, it will ease one of my big fears.
Especially if Sanders is having a true break out year and not just hot. He has always beena guy that can gash you, but they have always seemed to go away from him

He doesn't even belong on a starting roster according to the experts here.
Thanks DA....

I knew someone would take offense. Hence why i said "not nearly as good".

Try and keep up.

Dude you basically made him 2nd coming of AD after one sack. Your statement would have been valid if you said Tresten Hill.
