His twitch/quickness/reaction/explosion r all very special. Even without the hair flowing, he very much reminds me of Troy Polamu. I'm *not* saying he's a ballhawk or has a nose for finding the football. The way he moves, the way he diagnoses the play, can play almost everywhere on defense... He may not be Troy, but I see a great defensive player all the same.

@arisandrews5672 7 ай бұрын

Watched him the last two years and always wondered why he never got the ink. He made plays because he is smart and fast. I hope he packs on a few more pounds

He quite literally does not play with smarts/instincts which is why he has a bottom 3% run stop rate

@@pdb6261Im a lifelong Cowboys fan, and I even agree. Hes got some athleticism, but if we are talking intelligence, then why was his tackle numbers so low, and his highlight reel so short? Hes raw, but needs coaching. Athletic, yeah, but football IQ? Thats his worst skill coming into the pros.

@frankieclayton9303 7 ай бұрын

He reminds me of a young Troy from the Steelers and that is a good thing from for the Dallas Cowboys

It would be, if Marist was even in the same league as Polamalu when he was in college or his first few years in Pittsburgh. The only similarity is they are both Polynesian lol.

🔥 I like Marist Liufau a lot 🔥 He's got legitimate dynamic traits that are needful for a smooth NFL transition And with DC Mike Zimmer overseeing his development... He'll only make up where Notre Dame short-circuited his production/development, etc Now I say this loosely bc due to how they used him, He gained tons of experience in diversity and 🏈 IQ ⚡ He's quite the savvy disrupted that's not easily fooled at all 🌩

At least he makes up for not getting Wilson or Cooper! As a Packers fan, I love that Cooper fell in our laps but this LB was sorta on the radar that GB coulda gotten if they didn’t go the Cooper or Hopper routine! Micah Parsons gotta be in love with this guy’s athleticism! Cowboys got a good LB

My only fear is that the cowboys never let a player stay at one spot and learn ! They move them around and they never fully develop at one spot

But he's his own person and what he's bringing he's going to bring his own style and on abilities on character but if he developed in that same mentality that Troy brought from the Steelers Dallas is going to have a dominant scary player

Man people throw around the teen “athletic freak” way too lazily. This dude is NOT sole DK metcalf athletic freak. He’s not Micah parsons, he’s not even Dez Bryant as an athletic freak coming out of college. Especially in todays nfl where every LB basically runs a 4.6 or under, his athleticism won’t be such a plus in the nfl cause he isn’t some crazy specimen.

@SgtSlaughtah 7 ай бұрын

Seriously is he even bigger then Bell? I hope he is still growing. Last season proved athleticism just isn't enough...

I knew what he was listed at. Listing aren't always accurate. He's not bigger then Clark, and Clark is undersized.

@SgtSlaughtah 7 ай бұрын

This "reported" 238 weight is 6 pounds heavier than 6' 0" Kendricks, 2 Pounds lighter than 6' 2" Patrick Willis & 6' 0" Ray Lewis NFL listings. For context 6' 2" Willis was listed at 230 at Ol' Miss. Now let's compare their frames.

Nowhere close to the player Smith was coming out of college though, and pre injury, wasnt faster than Jaylon either. Jaylon was a 4.4 guy bro.

Umm idk about this guy. He seems to give up a lot of run yards and stand in place to much. I like Tommy E for Ohio St a MLB better.

The USC play ...shows Caleb isnt that smart...I know the playbwas called and he followed it but he should have seen that edge was going to bite at the last sec and def should have kept for a walk in TD instead of a loss of yards

@RRR-ox9ud 7 ай бұрын

I like this pick even if he was over drafted. If he can be that 3 down backer with overshown it will help v the run. But they need studs up front

@kattiegodfrey1656 7 ай бұрын

Your right Mazi has to step up and we're counting on Zimmer to put him in position to do so. I think his talent is there as far as run stuffing. Also I think we've gotten faster in the back...Our LBs are this Liaftu Overshown (Micha) Thomas and someone else...all pretty fast guys but still hard hitters. Hopefully thst DT we got late ...pray he's a diamond in the rough! A TB12 of DTs 😅😅😅

Kendrics is an instinctual LB who’s a great run defender and tackler. Liufau is in the bottom 3% of run stop rate and misses tackles like it’s his job. Stop making things up

@morganpowell2999 7 ай бұрын

Man I think Payton Wilson would’ve been a better pick. Talk about athletic freak, and has insane instincts. I know the health concerns, but he hasn’t missed a game in two years. I think he’d be healthy for the most part on his first contract. Dallas doesn’t like to sign LB’s to long term deals anyways unless you’re Sean Lee.

@redtre125 7 ай бұрын

Payton Wilson is probably gonna end up like LVE meaning he's gonna be good but we've seen the injury before on players and I think they knew that there will be a high chance of more injuries to come due to the speed and the physicality of the NFL

@@kylemcneil4521 well like I was saying before, I bet he’ll play the majority of his rookie contract. Just don’t resign him. He has played without an ACL for 2 years and it hasn’t hurt his speed or athleticism. All I’m saying is, it’s a late 3rd round pick, get a good 2 or 3 years of good playing time out of him and move on.
