If he played as big as his ass was I’d be sad.

I hardly remember him doing anything. Then again my interest in UW football this year was at an all time low.
I don’t remember him doing much in 3 years and we were soft up front. Part of it was scheme but he’s nothing special. A decent rotational DT. He would have barely played from 2016-2018.

He had like one good play this year. A sack in the backfield but can’t remember against whom…maybe cal? Yeah that’s proof we won’t miss him

I think it is a bit of a loss. Did he make a lot of memorable plays? No. But dude was WIDE. That counts for something as a DT He has a physical profile that isn't so easy to replace

Taimani didn't have a sack this season, actually has zero career sacks. I think he recovered a fumble against the Beavs from a Tuitele sack?

Change the scheme from our current bulls hit and let Voi actually get in the backfield. I’ve had enough of this two gap, take up blockers bullshit.

Tuitele seems to have a higher ceiling than Taimani, he should play more this season.
Might be but this roster is running thin at even JAG's at the moment. One more pickup we are going to need to make via the portal from UC Davis.
Not a fan of Tuitele either and he’s another overrated recruit that I don’t think actually had commitable offers to the blue bloods (like Smalls).
He had a big play vs Oregon State, but I don’t have high hopes for him. Bandes is worse tho.
Saama Paama, Tuitele, Bandes, and Ngalu. Not one legitimately good player from the bunch. Tuitele is the only one that might even end up being an average PAC 12 starter. This was the leveling up bullshit that was always dumb.
It’s hard to top a four man rotation of Vea, Gaines, Jaylen Johnson, and Qualls/Levi.

Taimani started to come on last year but I echo the sentiments of those who say he hasn't lived up to the hype. He never seemed like he was in good shape. Huge frame but sort of got pushed around out there. This upcoming year was going to be make or break for him as Tunuufi and Peihopa had started to get lots of snaps. We're also most likely not running a 3-4 so the "nose tackle" position is probably going away.
