Happy Birthday 20th B-day Tuitt!!!

It's an honor to share a birthday with you.

First of all I am a huge Stephon Tuitt fan. Always have been and always will be. Also, I very rarely second guess the staff, its what they get paid for. With that said I have seen some pictures of Tuitt since gaining the weight and I don't like what I see. Stephon at 295-300 was strong and fast and I fear at 320, it might be a tipping point where he loses some of that speed. #crazythoughts

Could be wrong, but I think he was only 320 because he had had surgery and couldn't work out for a while.

295 last year, 322+ for spring camp, and likely to play at 315 this season.

Just imagine his sr year

I don't think he'll be here his senior year. Things could change obviously, but I remember he posted a picture from a website with his draft status and such, saying he had another year to make it better. That could be taken either way I guess (1 year to go, or another year and then who knows), but I don't like our chances.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

I have a feeling he will stay through his senior year. No info.

Breithlá shona duit! Stephon!

Breithlá shona duit! Stephon!

Does that mean "Big Baller, Shot Caller"

 

[Andy in Sactown]

Here you go big fella. Have a Kate Upton sandwich!

 

[rtrn2glory]

only question is will he be the greatest DE in school history after this season?

 

[Luckylucci]

If he duplicates his 12 sack performace from last year that will make him the all time sack leader and I would say Yes. That makes him the best DE in ND history.

 

[Riddickulous]

only question is will he be the greatest DE in school history after this season?

Alan Page (NFL Hall of Famer) and Ross Browner (One of the best DEs in CFB history) are both up there. I don't know if Tuitt will have their credentials by the end of this year.

 

[rtrn2glory]

and with one year of eligibility left to boot...I know mama tuitt wants that degree, but if he comes close to last year's production I can't see him staying for his sr year...he could have possibly been a top 15 pick in last year's draft.

I nearly fainted when this thread was at the top of the board... someone get me a brown paper bag please...

 

[FearTheBeard]

Trent Richardson says thats weak sauce. But really thats good, Tuitt will be even more of a monster this year.

If Tuitt was doing 435 with ease, he would've crushed Richardson's 475

Even more impressive considering his height and arm length.

 

[FearTheBeard]

And he may, but in the video Richardson said he benched 460 easily. It probly just depends what they mean when they say easy, for reps easily or just one rep max easily. But either way theyre both beasts i was just joking earlier, i always thought that was a cool video when i saw it.

 

[Old Man Mike]

I can easily be wrong, but I believe that Tuitt meant "easy recovery time" in this comment. That would mean that he benched hard but his system came back fast to "normal" after the strain. This is a measurement of how ready someone is to blast the power repetitively, as a DLine rusher has to do in real action.
