They mentioned how Justin bench pressed the O lineman into Brees.
Justin and Sopoaga each use 200lb dbs for reps when they bench press! DAMN!

How would you like to be a QB, dropping back to pass when you see your fat O-lineman's ass coming to get you?....Bull Rush! MAN!!!

Best d-lineman in the NFL. Period. End of story. Quite possibly a top-5 player period.

Man was I wrong about him. I thought we way over-paid for him and now turns out we way under-paid for him. Crow never tasted so good. It'll be a damn shame if the AP voters are dumb enough to give DPOY to anyone else.

That play where he was being held but bull rushed and willed his way to Brees, grabbed him by the pads

DPOY easily. Best D-Lineman in the NFL easily. Quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite 49ers.

Wow, never really though of it that wa but true. BY was such class act and a great player... I still remember Ulbrich and the guys carrying him off the field after his last home game.

Probably, but BY was a better DT. Anyway, they are both 49er legends.

I just remember when he signed, some complained that we paid to much for a guy who gets two or three sacks a year

good job by nolan. Even a broken clock is right twice
