but undersized and will be targeted when he is on the field. Tough to hide against the DCs in this league. As a starter means we are in deep trouble.
Lavonte David 6'1" 233 LBS
Patrick Willis 6'1" 240 LBS
Jon Beason 6'0" 237 LBS
Unai Unga 6'1" 233 LBS
From what I have seen so far this guy is always around the ball which is more than I can say for the other linebackers on the team. Cant figure how he is undersized
Reminds me a lot of another ex Giants'fellow Polynesian who found himself here - Kawika Mitchell.
Like Kawika, he's quick and "shoots the gap" very well (that's the whole idea of the original 4-3 defense).
Recall that's how Tom Landry made Sam Huff famous - assign the defensive line to hold the L.O.S. and let the MLB make the tackle.
Unga sometimes looks a little lost (he acknowledged that in the interview), but that's just being a rookie (we've seen some of that from the vets who are also getting used to Spag's defense). That's correctable ...
What will make Unga good here is his physical ability (and much more importantly his instincts and quick reaction to the ball).

I don't think that makes any sense. Unless there is some reading between the lines here that I'm not picking up on.
