Anyone else excited for Sunday besides myself? Baldinger was asked on the Game yesterday which player he was most excited to see in Detroit. His answer shouldn't surprise you. "Bosa!" "To me, he is the one guy—we saw it last year—that cannot be replaced on that football team. The way that he plays, the energy, the effort, the talent, he's the one irreplaceable player. And he makes everyone in the whole building better. He makes John Lynch better. He makes Kyle Shanahan better. He makes Javon Kinlaw better. He makes everybody better. And so, that's the one guy I can't wait to watch." "He plays with such power," Baldinger explained. "Can he play with more finesse? I know he can, but sometimes you just want to run guys over, and there's a place for that. And then there's some guys that you just want to be able to literally just do a two-hand swipe to, and just eliminate them. I just think there's a balance between power and finesse at that position. He has the ability to do both, but I think knowing when to do that, knowing when the game is in the balance."
Baldy's last sentence rings true. Bosa is a smart player so I'm sure he used the down time to reflect on some of those philosophical balances, and I expect we'll see some of that veteran maturity on display this Sunday.
