Hate the squeelers, but good for him.

They going to win the Super Bowl now lol

He's a solid player, not great, but solid.

Let's be real. Tyson is a great human being. But he was a bum of a football player for his time here.

"Bum"?  C'mon Man

We can, and have, picked up DL off the scrap heap that performed way better than him.

If he's such a "bum"...why would the squeelers sign him to a 2 year contract?

But you're wrong. He was never great, never lived up to his draft status, but he was not a bum. Who are these "scrap heap" guys who were better than him?

Abry Jones is one example.

He never lived up to the #10 pick, but that's on Gene Smith...not Alualu.

That and JDR's bull ring.

Get the hell outta here!

 

Tyson?

Lol...I meant "HE"...not "I".  Sorry for the confusion teammates.

Abry Jones was an UDFA. Hardly what should be considered "scrap heap"


Pretty much everyone agrees he never should have went in the first round. But calling him a bum is unfair to him. He was a solid rotational guy.

Jerrad is just being hard headed.  He knows Alualu is a solid player.  He just can't get over where he was picked.

He's a good guy, he was  kind of underwhelming for a first rounder though.

Anyway, good luck with the squealers,

Agree on this. A few of his kids play Little League at the same park my son plays at. 

 

He's a really nice person, and seems to be a great family man. 

 

But he was mediocre at best as a player, and seems to be regressing in recent years.

 

I am glad he is getting a deal from another team. But I don't see him being anything more than depth, if that.

I would say he was a solid player. But has not been for several years. 

 

I thought he actually had a pretty good rookie year, but never seemed to ever get better. And in recent years, his play (and playing time) has regressed.

But he was our FULLBACK!!!
