Kelce concludes with, "Taliese don't you f***ing disappoint!"


Fuaga said on his first interview on WWL that " I'll give you my all. "

That's one thing I love about this guy. He has heart. Said he doesn't even care about the money from getting drafted in the first round.

Ram and him are similar in a way.

Jim Nagy liked him more out of any other O-linemen that came to town this year, I think. He didn't exactly say that but he brought him up on multiple occasions. We have a Reese's Senior Bowl Lockeroom show that happens once a week while the CFB season is still in going on and then of course more interviews with him in January.

I think of all the linemen he liked Fuaga and Guyton the most. He liked how Guyton could bend for his size but just loved Fuaga's physicality.

there has been absolutely nothing in the 23 games he's played in a Saints uniform that leads me to believe he can or that he ever will, unfortunately... and a move to G is looking increasingly unlikely as well...

His current play has nothing to do with his ability and potential. His technique is horrendous. He has no chance until that is fixed. If we can fix his technique he can completely turn it around. He has all the other tools and ability.

I'm surprised Guyton didn't get more love. When i hear dancing bear I think of Guyton

I think he only played one yr as a starter so he doesn't have as much film as the others.

I honestly see most of these tackles working out somewhere on the line.

I’m pretty hard on the saints but I think we honestly knocked this draft out of the park.

I don't think there are many tackles who played in so few games as Guyton.

Only it kinda does(on Penning) He was a first round draft pick but is now 25 years old. He’s been in the NFL for multiple years. He’s not some raw freshman in college. He’s a grown man. Can he make some incremental improvements with great coaching and become a league average player, sure but the gap between what he is and his ceiling has shrunk dramatically every year at this point.

Very big on Fuaga though. Should hopefully be an anchor for a long time.

None of that matters. His technique was bad in college and he beat up on weaker competition by pure size and athleticism alone. His technique hasn’t improved much at all. Until he fixes his technique he won’t be good in the nfl. The sky is still the limit with him if he can fix his technique. If you watch him play and understand line play that is pretty clear.

I agree he can improve if he fixes his technique, but to say sky is the limit is crazy.

I just don't see it. Hopefully he can at least be serviceable.

I think it has everything to do with his ability.

Sucks because I really wanted him to come in and kill that position. The way they talked about him, he was going to be a future HOF.
