DE Nick Bosa "Smaller Bear" NO POLITICS

Shop Find 49ers gear online
Bosa has been helping his teammates from the moment he arrived at Santa Clara. His kick slide looks pretty damn good. Maybe he can help the OTs.

Looks like he's giving Fred Warner some tips on rushing from the edge. He's teaching Fred the double swipe, and I can tell he's emphasizing the importance of using jab steps to draw the punch and being in a position to clear the tackle's hands on your third step.

$90 million LBs better be hitting the QB.

Possibly if he adds a JJ Watt "Jab and Go" move?

Maybe, but sometimes, you got to stick to what got you there.

Just don't want to keep needling him all year to get DPOY

This is supposed to be a serious thread. Stop poking fun at him.


he wants to be on our team I swear

My apologies, just trying to inject some humor.
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.

Who wrote that article? What are they supposed to say; "he lost a lot of weight and his knee still hurts"?

Do you notice that that article doesn't tell you why he's not playing in the pre-season?

The article is from July 27th, by Matt Barrows.

What are they supposed to say? Well typically reports who write stories that aren't forced gather information and relay it to the public. Do you think there is a competitive advantage that's happening here with misleading article about Bosa changing his diet to put on more muscle and trim some fat? That's pretty standard when you're working out. Drop fat, gain muscle but stay at relatively the same weight or even gain weight in some cases.

Basically you're saying your eyes are 100% right and that article is make belief? Realize how silly that sounds?

We also know 100% why he's not playing in pre-season. Because he's a valued member of this team/defense coming off a serious knee injury. There is 0 reason to risk aggravating the injury during games that don't matter. Now if he's not playing week 1 then we can talk.

Why is Aaron Donald not playing in preseason? He wasn't even injured last year. Why is Christian McCaffrey not playing in preseason? Why did Adrian Peterson not play in any preseason in 2012?

He's not playing in the pre-season because he doesn't have to. They're trying to be cautious and keep him fresh for the season. Like you said he's coming off a major knee injury. Him not playing the pre-season has nothing to do with his weight and muscle which you were incorrect about.
