Adam JahnsHOST
Okay.
Adam JahnsHOST
The player I want to talk a little bit more about is Thule Tuipulotu.
Adam JahnsHOST
Thirteen and a half sacks last year, former second round pick of the Chargers, 24 years old.
Adam JahnsHOST
Could he be your version of what Akeem Hicks became for that run of good Ryan Pace teams? where you're getting a player entering the prime of his career who could be a difference maker, not just for the rest of this season, but for a couple more seasons.
Adam HogeHOST
You're probably not going to keep them.
Adam HogeHOST
He's not going to cost you a lot of money.
Adam HogeHOST
So, but I think either of those players would be good additions and each comes with their own little risk and reward levels, a little higher ceiling long-term on Thule, but a little bit more risk involved as well.
Adam HogeHOST
All right, that's a good conversation, though, and we appreciate B-Man for the question.
Steph SanchezHOST
This isn't, you know, this isn't some revelation, uh, beside it just making sense.
Steph SanchezHOST
Um, and so as far as other names that may make sense for the 49ers, like you mentioned Thule, uh, from the chargers, their edge rusher 49ers listed there as well, as well, Vita Vea.
Steph SanchezHOST
Now, I don't know if the 49ers needed trade for any more defensive tackles.
Steph SanchezHOST
Yeah, that's out.
BillHOST
So trading him away, hopefully to a Super Bowl contender, just hopefully he can add more to his extreme Hall of Fame career.
BillHOST
So that doesn't hurt my soul, but when you start trading away cornerstones like a Derwin James, like a Slater, or like a Tuipulotu, I think that sends the wrong message.
BillHOST
Even if the return's good, I'm not necessarily down for that.
BillHOST
Coming from a guy with a bag on his head.
Andrew McFarlandHOST
I don't want to say getting rid of him.
Andrew McFarlandHOST
But maybe another team wants to open up his pockets, right? But the Chargers shouldn't expect Tui Pulotu...
Andrew McFarlandHOST
Again, if I said it wrong, I'm learning it.
Andrew McFarlandHOST
I'm so sorry.
Daniel WadeHOST
So if he kept that up through the season, he'd have eight and a half sacks, which would be most by a rookie since Joey Bosa when he came into the league in 2016.
Daniel WadeHOST
And also, he's only two sacks away from what Tuli Tuipulotu had in his rookie season.
David DroegemeierHOST
Yeah, four and a half.
Daniel WadeHOST
So not bad company.
Mitch HolthusGUEST
And four other interceptions.
Mitch HolthusGUEST
Tuipulotu is one of the more underrated defensive players in the league.
Mitch HolthusGUEST
They still have Khalil Mack.
Mitch HolthusGUEST
He's in there pecking away, and then the 25-
Pete FoxGUEST
So they're, you know, the, the linebacking corps on this team, even in spite of injuries, like Derwin James is out, but Dayon Henley's still there.
Pete FoxGUEST
Um, Deshaun Phillips, um, Tui, Tuli rather, Tuipulotu, those guys are all playing, you know, very good football at the top of their game, and they're capable of stopping the run and getting after the quarterback.
Pete FoxGUEST
So, uh, it, to me it feels like that's their best game plan, to try to slow down the run.
Jack JohnsonHOST
And last one for you here.
Craig StoutHOST
They've got a couple of pieces at outside linebacker.
Craig StoutHOST
I like T.R. Tartt as well, but you know, Thule, you've got, uh, Khalil Mack is still there.
Craig StoutHOST
Akeem Isidore actually looks okay.
Craig StoutHOST
Yeah.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
And the Chargers defense continues to do everything in their power to, like, save this team's season.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
Tuli Tuipulotu just, like, takes the ball away from Bo Nix.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
There was another Bo Nix strip sack fumble, I guess if you could call it that.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
Uh, Bo Nix just walks into his left tackle, who's blocking Akiem Ozitor, and he fumbles it.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
This is the second week in a row where I'm just like, "Man, Bo Nix, he's, he's, he's making stupid mistakes now," like two fumbles in this game.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
The one strip sack that I talked about where he just kinda walks in, walks back into his left tackle was a clear example of him just not having good pocket feel and when it can hurt him and, and how it can hurt him.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
But he tries to scramble and lets Tuli Tuipulotu just take the ball from him.
Marcus WhitmanHOST
But he's not making, like, high percentage throws.
