Jetsfan80 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Fellas, here's the thing. Sione Pouha is a kid who started his college career by going away for THREE YEARS on a Church Mission. And still, upon his return, Utah stuck with him and made him the starter 2 years after his return. Does that not tell you something about his heart and passion for the game, as well as his abilities, when you consider that he still started for a big program after taking 3 years off? Does it not also tell you that this kid will be a leader and an upstanding citizen? This doesnt even include that fact that he is, as Ham affectionately likes to say "a mountain of a man" at 6-3, 330 who happens to bench 475 and squat 675, and is also a perfect fit for our needs. Seriously, is there anyone who can tell me this kid is not a match made in heaven for the Jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I like the pick, but I just would have like C.J. Mosley there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I like the pick, but I just would have like C.J. Mosley there. Of course you would, because he's more well known. That doesnt mean he's better, or better for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Of course you would, because he's more well known. That doesnt mean he's better, or better for us. Thats not it at all. I knew exactly who Sione Pouha was. I knew he was a big man, but just his age scared me off, because IMO, he is no better of a prospect than Mosley.

stormshadow19 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 With Pouha, you know what you're getting. There's very little risk involved. And, on top of that, he fits the need the Jets have, is a man mountain, and is a damn fine citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 This guy didn't play against top competition and didn't even have great numbers CJ Mosley played in a stronger conference and had better numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when do numbers for DT's matter? Completely different players and systems. Pouha is a run-stuffer, meaning he just takes up space. Guys like that never put up big numbers, but damn do they help you win football games. Only numbers I care about for Pouha are 6-3, 330. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 DTs job isn't always to produce - Jon Vilma needs guys up front to protect him so he can play his game... Pouha is a legitimate player - his age is meaningless we have to be realistic about these guys... 10 year starters are rare for a single team these days - if Pouha is great for another 4 or 5 years that's a worthwhile pick. we have to be realistic, even if a guy can play for 10 years that doesn't mean the Jets will employ him in his 2nd or 3rd contract...

Savage69 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Those Hawaiian and Samoan players always seem to be tough dudes!! I think we have our Ted Washington/Pat Williams type player here!! And this guy will not only help the LB's, but may take some of the load off Drob and let him get some sacks this year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
