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."

To be clear when I said soft marshmellow that is a comment on his body not style of play. He has still yet to transform into a rock solid DT in terms of body type. If he doesn't make some changes he'll be TAMU2.0
