Anyone else remember Dekoda coming out of college? Dude was a 220-pound LB. I can't believe he's 260 lbs now lol.

Lol
Hmmmm
Just goes to show how bad our other pass rushers are
If you're only looking stats, which you are, good point then.
Sometimes it just clicks for a guy. Lorenzo Alexander had more sacks in his 10th season than his previous 9 combined. Coming into the season I didn't give Watson a shot to make the roster; however, once I saw him play in the preseason it was very obvious that he was pretty nasty as an edge rusher.
Don't be surprised if he keeps playing at a high level. The Raiders are a trainwreck (Gruden is a mess), but the kid is still talented.
One good year out of 10 is definitely not the norm..
But Hey fingers crossed something works out as a pass rusher for us!

Watson was a difference maker.
Just what we needed.

Following up on my previous post, Dekoda got up to 272. But he's down to 245 now.
49ers edge-rusher note: Dekoda Watson said that a huge part of his big performance against the Raiders was his drop to 245 pounds. Watson had been as heavy as 272 earlier this year. There's a common thread with successful edge guys in this scheme: Under 250 pounds.

I just have this feeling he's going to be the next Von Miller. The 9th year is usually a break out year for pass rushers.

Watson is better than Foster's sorry ass and we wasted a first round pick on damaged goods. Another head scratching move at the time by Lynch. His management has set our franchise back another 3-4 years.
