Always tune in to Poppinga. Took this with a slight grain of salt. Here's why:
First off, I'd say download the segment from the podcast--the one featuring Poppinga is there for the listening, so you don't have to search much. Brady is entertaining and has interesting things to say.

Poppinga has invented a sort of weight-lifting machine. It's in use in at least one Utah Valley fitness club, according to what I've heard on Criddle's show. It could be a lot more--I just don't know.

Per the interview in question, Poppinga brought in his machine to show Coach Tafisi and some of the players. Coach selected Handsome to sample the machine, and according to Poppinga, it was like "pulling teeth" to get him to do anything. Poppinga lit into Tanielu as part of a "you gotta pace the price" type of spiel....

I wasn't there, obviously, and only got this side. Was Tanielu still hurt at the time? Tired from a workout already? Did the team view Poppinga's pitch with skepticism? Is Brady being critical because it hurt his demo? Is it a matter of the things Poppinga talked about manifesting themselves in Tanielu? Some combo of all or none of the above? No clue.

Hence, the grain of salt. I'll reserve judgment on Tanielu at this point.
