Taliese Fuaga Scouting Report
Strengths
Simply put, Taliese Fuaga is a dog. He plays with an attitude, finishing blocks both in the run and pass games. Fuaga uses great technique to stop the bullrush, and his footwork is impeccable, helping to make up for his stride length. If he locks onto you in the run game, you’re done, and Fuaga will look to bury you into the turf. He’s a right tackle that would fit onto any team, but his attitude both on and off of the field makes it so he can be a culture-setter for a hard-nosed, gritty team as well.
Weaknesses
As stated above, his leg stride is shorter than ideal. While his footwork helps to make up for it, he could be in trouble if/when he does start to slow down. In the right situation, Fuaga may be better served at guard as a result. Fuaga also can be a bit impatient and get overaggressive in open space, looking for a big hit instead of just locking on and making the play.
