What should we really expect from Bosa this season? He will be a year removed from a ACL repair, with no pre-season under his belt.
He also lost a lot of weight/muscle, I think our expectations should be tampered back a little bit.
With that said, he is young so maybe he heals quicker.
Where are you getting this from? From all reports he's the same weight but a lower bf%(although I'm laughing at reports of him being at 3% bf)
Now we don't know how he's going to look after tearing up his knee(never something you want to see and hard to predict) but there's nothing that popped up in camp from him that should cause concern.
He's certainly not guaranteed 15+ sacks and DPOY just by being back on the field but Bosa showed even as a rookie he doesn't need preseason to make a big impact. The knee injuries sometimes are more mental than physical. He's been through it before and looks to be in great shape. I think he'll be ready to go and that's a bad thing for opposing QBs.
I hope he will be ready, but he is also human. He's a big man coming off a serious knee injury, we should understand that it may take time for him to get back to form.
My eyes tell me that he is not as big as he was as a rookie.
Do you perform at carnivals on that guess the weight thing?
This is from an article end of July
That's due to both his intensive rehabilitation from the Sept. 20 ACL tear that scuttled his 2020 season and a strict new diet that trimmed his body fat to around 9 percent.
The 49ers defensive end is still approximately 265 pounds, his weight when the 49ers drafted him No. 2 overall two years ago, but there's more lean muscle — perhaps an additional five pounds worth — and less fat, which is evident in his appearance.
Guy is basically putting up the same weight at the gym, apparently running faster(granted without pads and in workouts and not games) and is around the same weight.
His body isn't something we have to worry about, his knee recovery is another thing all together. Can't know one way or another how that goes.
