Ryan Leaf says Steelers should run straight at 49ers’ Nick Bosa over and over

It’s true
I have a strong feeling bosa is not out of shape.
I agree. They should do everything to his side.
I get what Leaf is saying (without a training camp, Leaf believes Bosa isn’t game-ready), but with Bosa — who generally skips preseason — has gotten a sack in three of the four Week 1 games he’s played.
Historically, even though it’s a very small sample, Bosa hasn’t been slow outta the gate w/o a preseason
I’m betting Bosa will not be on the field for most “running” downs. Not in week 1 anyway.
To this I say I hope they do, because it’ll be fun seeing Bosa’s first game back from his holdout involve an unbreakable record for single-game TFLs.
The guy literally comes from a family of NFL talent, knowledge, and resources. To believe he wouldn’t know how to get himself ready without being around the team is silly.
Lol, go ahead. Might work, but it probably won’t.
Nick Bosa is actually good against the run but okay.
Why would anyone ever listen to Ryan Leaf or take him serious? Not saying a person can’t change, but his comment is as sensical as his previous decision making on the field in the NFL.
He’s not wrong.
Leaf must not know about Armstead, Hargrave, Warner, Greenlaw, Ward, Hufanga…. Smdh
Who cares what Ryan Leaf has to say? Close to JaMarcus Russell as the biggest bust in football. That aside, he was never in the kind of shape Bosa is year-round. I know there’s “football shape,” but I’ll bet on Bosa being ready to contribute
Ryan “junkie and NFL bust” Leaf , is yapping his jaw?
Good luck with that.
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton.
I couldn’t stop laughing after, “Ryan Leaf says …”
😂😂😂
I guess Ryan Leaf is rooting for the Niners?
I hope the Steelers run all day long, because Najee Harris is one of the most overrated players in the league.
I agree they definitely should lol. Good luck. That dude feasts on the run.
Pretty sure Bosa and Hargrave are right next to each other also, sounds like a great plan.
Ryan Leaf?
LOL
QUIT FUCKING TALKIN TO ME. KNOCK IT OFF.
Oh. No. Don’t do that. Please. No. That’s the last thing we want. Anything but that. Please.
They’re scared of this man. Like they should be.
Ryan Leaf? Is that guy any more relevant than the drunk that lives on the corner stool in a bar that opens at 8 in the morning? Sure. Go for it lol.
If he’s saying it like NB’s out of shape, bad take. But if he means you run at elite rushers to wear them down and disrupt their rhythm, he has a point
The Niners aren’t gonna allow Bosa to get tired. He’ll likely rotate out a good amount.
Do you want to get a ton of TFL? Cause that’s how you get tons of TFLs.
These sorts of tales are always wild to me. “Xyz is back from injury. Take advantage” “he is low on game reps. Take advantage”.
1. Let’s not act like Bosa is the type to let himself lose his fitness. He probably knew it’s a matter of time before he signed a new deal in SF.
2. Let’s not act like a man forgets about how football works because they took a few extra weeks or a month off. How many preseason reps do first string players get anyway? Preseason is all about the guys who are fighting for spots to prove themselves.
3. If Bosa plays against Pittsburgh, that’s because the coaches think he can contribute. If he’s on the field, that means he is good enough and can’t be run down.
4. Bosa has come back from serious injuries and won DPPY. Can we not pretend time off has ruined him? If a man can come back from that, time off is nothing.
5. Even Bosa at 30% of his peak is better than most pass rushers anyway
the worst number 2 pick of all time talking about the best 2nd pick in the nfl in way over a decade
