Ummmm, no!

I know right? Tell that to Hysterikal. I tried to explain to him Huf is clearly a defensive end. He just doesn't listen.

He brought dude a happy meal lol

He can't be Lance's friend. He brought Lance McDeath. Some friend he is.

Lance gonna eat fast food everyday to prepare his body for between the tackles runs. Let Trey Eat.
Huf a good teammate.

Or, a quick way to the graveyard by way of high blood pressure and obesity. Huf must don't like Trey.

People talk about Talanoa's speed.. but maybe he doesn't have top end speed... but he sure does have quickness.

Quickness + anticipation... in the middle part of the field? Shiiiiit he is fast out there.

This. The guy got crazy closing speed too. Hell Ed Reed's 40 was only 4.57 while huf's 4.61. his speed is not that bad.

I don't care what the timer says, Ed Reed played at like 4.28 lol.

Hufanga and Gipson are 2 of the top rated safeties right now. Terrific!

Keep rehabbing Ward!

what good is pure speed with no vision, anticipation, and recognition? Kid has a natural nose for the ball. Can't wait to see him continue developing!

Reminds me of Borland. Instincts+quickness can take you a long way, even if you lack ideal speed/size.

Looks like a future Pro Bowler, once he becomes a household name, maybe All Pro too.

Has an uncanny knack for "KNOWING" where the ball is gonna be. Tackles like a tank, really quick moves but it is in his brain pan that he ends up in exactly the right spot, play after play.

Other thing is he has terrifically great hand-eye coordination, and addtionally, really quick hands..strong ones, too. Having a guy who can cover and break up plays in the DBackfield…priceless. It is also the DB we have not had since…wow, i can't even remember when. Teams with legit SB desires, have to have great players at LT, QB, CB/S who can cover and stop plays, RB, and TE. Those are required and we have been close, but Talanoa now gets us there.

Yeah and Ryans said he's so inquisitive in his prep that it forces DeMeco to ensure HE'S on top of his game because he knows he's going to ask those questions. He said he's one of the very best prep players he's ever been around.

Said the same thing. I normally hate using this tag line, but honestly....it applies here: it hasnt even been close.

My son took my Lance jersey so I replaced it with a #29
