Great stuff. I dont really know how Carr got that first pass off either. Awesome to see him able to throw an accurate pass with pressure around him.

It's FUAGIN' Time! He Big D Bullied those guys especially Derrick Brown and A'Shawn Robinson.

2nd coming of Willie Roaf? LOL Surely hope so.

Great watch. Even mentions the name Willie Roaf in comparison.

I think we have indeed found ourselves a great one.

Crazy he put all that on tape in his FIRST game. League better take notice.

Baldy’s opinion is probably IMHO one of the best covering the league today. I am on cloud 9 with the thought that Fuaga could be in the same, elite category as one of the greatest linemen in NFL history…..

Derrick Brown is one of the best young DTs in the league, dude had over 100 tackles last year as a DT. Fuaga and Penning neutralized him.

Whats crazy too is both Penning and Fuaga are not even playing their natural positions. I keep forgetting Fuaga was a RT because he looks pretty smooth at LT and will only get better. Smart decision to move him.

I think we have really taken for granted how much of a slam dunk the Fuaga pick looks like. That's a building block for 10+ years at a critical position. Well done to the front office and to Fuaga himself.

Yep, assuming it was them that made the call, genius decisions by two of the best OL coaches in the game in Benton and Dennison to flip-flop these two.

Yep. Those OL picks are not sexy or fun at all, and a lot of times even if they don’t bust, you end up with “merely” a good player…however sometimes you REALLY hit the jackpot.

We may have indeed captured elite, superstar level play at what I think is the second most critical offensive position on the football field, for the next decade plus. Having an elite LT is truly a game changer and opens so many things up.
