DE Nick Bosa (Pro Bowl, All Pro, 2019 ROY, 2022 DPOY, San Francisco 49ers)

Just seeing things differently doesn’t mean I am arguing. Not jumping off the cliff like you guys are because his head coach is not concerned, and you sit behind your computer thinking you know better.

You didn't see anything differently. I simply expressed the hope that a player - who missed most of last year and then tweaked a hammy in camp before this upper ankle sprain - was not turning out to be injury-prone. I didn't say that he was. I didn't mention the history of injuries. I didn't say I knew more than the coach. I didn't make any claim. I simply expressed a supportive thought for a Buckeye alumnus.

You reacted immediately with this nonsensical argument about a 300 lb man. First, you have no idea who fell on his ankle and the coach said nothing to identify who it was. Many reports say it was a "200 lb guy". Coming at the end of a running play, which is the only detail the 49ers have provided to my knowledge, it could have been another linebacker, the running back, anyone. Second, as I noted, you might want to review the digital archives a bit, because he had people 200-330 lbs falling on him many plays at Ohio State. It's not the weight, it's the position of the ankle, the angle of the striking force, and the force with which the other player hit his ankle.

As for what I know, I am a former marathon runner who ran more than 20,000 miles. I picked up a high ankle sprain in a race when a guy stumbled and hit my ankle as my weight shifted to it. He didn't weight 180 lbs soaking wet.

I should add finally, that I have not made one ad hominem comment. It is not childish to find an argument arising over such silliness to be funny.

SKULL SESSION: J.K. DOBBINS OVERCOMES ADVERSITY, GENE SMITH TALKS IMAGE AND LIKENESS BILL, AND JUSTIN FIELDS HAD A TOUGH ADJUSTMENT TO OHIO STATE

NICK BOSA – UNBLOCKABLE
. Just three games into his NFL career, after not playing competitive football since his injury against TCU, Nick Bosa is the best pass rusher in the league.

From Brian Witt of NBC Sports:

Believe it or not, three games into his NFL career, Bosa has graded out as the top pass rusher in the league, according to Pro Football Focus.

Bosa, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, has registered a 14.0 pass-rushing productivity grade, PFF's formula that places an emphasis on total pressures per pass-rushing snap. That 14.0 grade ranks as the best of all NFL edge rushers, and the top five consists of some standout company with 21.5 sacks between them.

...

Bosa has been improving on a game-by-game basis, and he's coming off his best performance yet in which he led San Francisco with seven pressures of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, the highest total of any 49er during Kyle Shanahan's tenure as head coach. This has all come after an offseason in which Bosa was significantly limited due to injury, but with San Francisco now enjoying its bye week, he believes he'll finally be at full strength coming out of it.

If Bosa is the most effective pass-rusher in the NFL at less than full strength -- three games into his career, no less -- just imagine what he'll be capable of moving forward.

I'll never forgive the universe for taking a full season of Nick Bosa and Chase Young killing quarterbacks in tandem, but maybe it's for the best because I'm quite certain Buckeye football games would have been slapped with R ratings towards the end of the season.

Unrelated, Bosa may be the most effective pass rusher in the NFL, but he ain't even the highest-graded rookie, thanks to Terry McLaurin.



Based on how this has been going the past few years, I've got a hunch a crystal ball of next year's NFL season includes some Chase Young and Jeff Okudah domination.

Nick has been pretty much "as advertised" thus far.

PICK NO. 2: EDGE NICK BOSA, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
2019 overall grade: 68.0
Bosa and the ‘Niners had Sunday off this week, but you can’t say that Bosa hasn’t deserved it. In three games, he’s racked two sacks, four hits and 11 hurries, and his pass-rush grade of 72.0 currently ranks third among 14 rookie edge defenders.

He has the benefit of playing on a very deep DL, so they're not having to throw him to the fire so much as utilize him in situations best suited for his abilities at this point as he gains experience. If he can stay healthy, he's gonna be a really good one.
