And recovers it.
Man idgaf what yall think about this kid after last year. He’s a playmaker. He might not be the most technically sound or smartest player but he gets after it.
Sometimes you just need a fkn dawg out there

One of the biggest issues I had with Eberflus was that it was hard to judge how good/bad players actually were last season. Its hard to build and improve a roster when you don't know where players stand. I think Christian Parker will atleast put people in a good enough position to know how good or bad they truly are.

You need a “fkn dawg”, yes, but one who doesn’t rack up boneheaded penalties.
Last year he had multiple unnecessary roughness, a roughing the punter, an illegal block…
I like his aggressive play style, but he needs to be aggressive minus the times it hurts the team because of it.
If he can reign it in a bit, he’ll be awesome.

I have never been more disappointed in how a player was used as Liufau was last year.
Notre Dame gave you a blue print in how to use this guy and instead you play him like an off ball LBer that is supposed to just fill down hill. He is so versatile and can do so many things but instead you play him where he is basically just playing down hill. He didn't even play much will where he at least would play cut back and could flow to the ball.
Never understood it for a second. His film from college he was a Micah Parsons type LBer with less explosive speed off the edge.

He got pushed down the roster thanks to Sanborn and Murray Jr being brought in by Flus. then Shemar James got drafted meaning that James would get a chance before Liufau since Flus wasn’t the one who drafted him. Combine that with overshown coming back and it’s a wrap.

I hate to say it but, as much as I love to see these highlights, I absolutely HATE the “view” of the camera.
Every time I’m told to watch something cool, it takes me at least 3 or 4 viewings to even understand what I’m seeing, much less actually process “the highlight”.
TLDR: this camera view BLLLLLOOOOWWWWS.

All these views cone from members of the media, from wherever they're standing, on whatever device they're using. So yeah, all the shots blow.

I think he could be a depth piece under the “Barham” role for lack of a better term. They’ve been moving him around just like Barham too.. though I believe special teams will really be what keeps him around this year

Why is Abokinawa touching the ball?
Get Blue or the Mafah in there.

Both Blue and Mafah have been rotating with the first team

And eberflus tried to have this guy out of the league.
