Wow...2nd rounder. Good luck JT!!!!

Hopefully, you'll be traded to a winning team. ;-)
My only favorite NFL team in mid-kid times was the Lions, especially when Barry Sanders was there but also with June Jones as QB/WR coach and Mouse Davis as offensive coordinator and they ran the Silver Streak. Lions have been pathetic and boring ever since then. Needless to say, I'm no longer a fan of the Lions, or any other NFL team for that matter.

Look at Green Bay for example, we heard nothing from them since Superbowl 1 & 2, then they got this guy name Favre. And Green Bay has been on the map since.

Not saying JT will be the answer, but in 3-5years, could be part of something special.
Mathew Stafford.

Why is a let down for our program?
Let down during the season. Probably let down is the wrong way to say it. It wasn’t his fault he was injured.

His injury really affected the defense. The opponent didn't have to worry about out LBs as much. Padello also became less effective when Tavai was out.

That play that Tavai got injured should have been dead a lot before he got tackled. It was clearly an incomplete pass IIRC.

Great video kapakahi. Jahlani is a fantastic representative of the UH football program and UH scholastics. Hope he recovers fully from his shoulder injury.

LOL...what game were you watching? Stafford was stuffed on multiple 4th down attempts, sacked, and intercepted. Dwight Howard was the MVP of the Sugar Bowl...albeit with a little help from the refs.

Favorite place to travel?

Tavai: There are so many places I want to go, but so far Hawaii is my go-to place. That's paradise. I love it out there.

Tavai is a good open field tackler, makes plays in space and good laterally. He is nothing like Al. Al created chaos in the backfield, had crazy explosiveness and was unblockable at times even when double or triple blocked. Tavai is closer to Pisa IMO.
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do. :zook:
