Yeah pretty nuts. I really think pita could be that sleeper x-factor of this D. Even if we got to wait till after mid season to start seeing it come together.

Remember y'all the kid is raw AF. Hes probably barely even tapping into his potential.

Wow, he does look bigger and stronger this year.

Yeah that's why I posted it. For the arm being in that position it's looking quite jacked. Hell probably put on another 2-3 lbs by TC. Should be perfect.

Looks like he's working on SAM stuff here

Here's to hoping. Would obviously be huge for our team

If his upper body is stronger and toss around tackles *and* still have the speed and explosiveness he had as a rookie, he could be a big factor in our post season. I'd love for him to develop a credible bull rush to counter his arc rush, and inside move.

OMG dude put up 24 reps of 225 when weighing 243 last year at his pro day. So 11 lbs difference and 15 months later, I bet my left testicle he can get up 30+ now and has gotten tackle worthy strong.

Make sure you donate to the local Sperm bank, just in case you are wrong.

Trying not to get my hopes up on this kid, but hopefully he takes the pass rushing job and runs with it.

I don't remember, did he have snaps last year at all?

Haha no way that much time goes by, gains 11 lbs of pure muscle, being so young that he didn't get considerably stronger and cant crank out an extra 6 reps. I'm sure the dude reps 315+ at the gym.

I don't think so, but he may have had a few in the Rams game.

I love Pita's urgency. The guy plays with his hair on fire.

He was only active for the Colts and Skins games and only played special teams.

Between Pita and Eli, our SAMs definitely look the part.

Eli is one of Baalke's last trash they need to get rid of. This year might be the year if he doesn't pan out at LEO.
