I'm Samoan so I'm not trying to brag about the Maoris.

actually false, samoans do have a form of the haka, which is formally called the "siva tau". So we are not mocking the Maoris..

Sole, tell me that Soap didn't do a pukana then. Tell me that wasn't a moko on his face. The pukana and moko are both Maori. The pe'a(Samoan tattoo) goes around the waist. Our other tattoos go around the arms or shoulders. Since when did we do our tattoo like the Marquesians and Maoris? Learn your culture before you fia poto on the CPU.

sole, I responded to my previous post and realized my sese. se aua ke popole, I know what you're talkin about...Sopoaga should just get a soga'imiti and show that (obviously if he could)..and I aint tryna fia poto with you. I do know my culture so don't trip.

Sorry bro. I just thought that it was obvious.

He should be benched period. He is a scrub.

He's kept around because he's the strongest on the team. All brawn and no brains in my opinion. I would love to see Ray Mac start on the line with Aubrayo and Justin.

WTF are you talking about? The guy shows his Samoan heritage and you think he hes got no brains? Sopoaga starts because he is a key piece to the 49ers run defense. He is big and athletic enough to set the edge on runs to his side and keep them from being long gains. He is probably the most improved player on the dline. Mcdonald is a good player but I don't think he is as good against the run as Sopoaga is. Ray is the better pass rusher.

The "all brawn no brains" comment was towards his ox-like strength but inability to use his hands (technique) to beat his opponent. He's improved since being a rookie, sure. But enough to warrant being a starter over the likes of Ray Mac, no. Ray has shown his ability to rush the passer, is more athletic thus the higher number of batted passes even though he has less opportunity to play than Soap. BTW, we need pass rushers badly, if you haven't noticed. Someone that can deter the other team from double teaming justin smith all the time.

Let me get this straight. Soap is Samoan. His facial tattoo is Maori. And his haircut looks Huron (native American) from Last of the Mohicans. This dude is LOST.
