Polynesians as a group have far and away the highest percentage of their men reach the NFL of any racial or ethnic group. No one else is even close. The biggest advantage UW has over REAL football school in the SEC is proximity to Polys.It's nice to see him show some signs of life but the practice shouldn't have ended and the entire team should have been forced to run gasers until they began to vomit.
That is what builds a TUFF football team and brings them together. Makes them realize they are only as strong as their weakest member. Which in this case its not surprise its coming from a Defensive lineman. I promise you after that punishment you're not gonna see that happen again.
They need to treat Shelton like the Vincent D'onofrio in full metal jacket. Kid is still a big dumbfuck soft marshmellow like every other Samoan we've had on the roster the last 10 years. Lawrernce Lagafuaina? When is this staff gonna learn that samoans are the laziest fucks on the planet and are better off selling ice in Chevy Suburbans than trying to play football.
Shelton isn't soft. He is a hot head who doesn't always play smart, (although he made the Pac 12 all academic team proving he isn't dumb) but he is far from soft.
The lazy Samoans is an interesting thought, but it is a generalization. I think maybe we have had some lazy, poorly coaches players at UW, but there are many good Samoan players in college football and the NFL.. They are naturally strong and stout. They typically make better guards or DT's. When we had a DL full of Samoans it wasn't an explosive or athletic line, but that is no reason to avoid all Samoans because they are "lazy."
Of course there are a few diamonds in the rough but overall I think they are overrated and eventually break down. Ngata is the only one that I can think of in recent memory that has been consistently great. I forgot about Ta'mu. He's another that never really lived up to his potential except vs Nebraska and we all know that game doesn't count as they didn't even want to be there.
Your whole theory is fucktarded. More polys, less morons.
Yeah I saw the 60 minutes too but i'm still not buying. Name a stud poly player that has been drafted in the NFL the last few years? The jury is still out Lotulelei. Te'o? You seem like a Te'o guy. More big black dudes on the DL, less polys.
Jamorrrrrraaa!!11!
One of many fails. Aldrich couldn't gain weight. The doogs talk about his big offers but I dont think he made one sack. Same with Potata'e who's been a total disaster. Jamora's knee is fucked. Lagafuina can't stop eating. Tupou hasn't scratched the depth chart. The kid from cali (Pio something) who kiffen dropped last minute got kicked off the team for smoking too much and being lazy. ETC ETC ETC. They look good on paper but more often then not disappoint.
