This is team is really good in spite of having 3 clear areas where we're somewhere between not very good and absolute dog-shit. That's amazing and should be celebrated. But I don't see how or why people think it necessary to ignore where we're weak.
From my perspective having 3 crappy areas is also kind of encouraging. It means a team this good can get even better. I mean ANYTHING at DE or DT would probably make us better, almost anything at OT or WR. You can acknowledge that whilst also enjoying the UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS we're having. |

I still think he’s white Tamba. He just doesn’t have Jared Allen across from him chasing QBs to his side like Tamba did early.
He’s been really close to having 3-4 sacks at this point and the more he refined his technique and learns his opponents weaknesses, the more those plays that were/are close will convert into finished sacks. Also, Tamba and Jared were all we had at end at the time and Tamba was playing about 90% of snaps…where George isn’t anywhere near that because they have 4 they rotate here. So less opportunities. I still think he ends the year with 7-8 sacks and may get more. He will start to produce more down the stretch. |

It's the fact that he routinely gets outplayed by Shart Clark that makes me irritated.

I'm no NFL scout, but I see nothing about him that says "high ceiling". His college tape was good, but so was CEH's.

For crying out loud, it's week 6, guys. You guys know that a lot of rookie pass-rushers, some of whom played for this team, started slow in the sack department that later became solid or even great pass-rushers, right?
Just one example: Justin Houston. No sacks through his first 10 or 11 games, finished the season with 5.5. The following year he had 10, then 11 the next, then 22. Now I'm not saying Karlaftis is going to follow the same exact trajectory; some of you knee-jerk reactionaries can keep your pants on, I'm just saying that we need to let things play out a while longer. The kid is a rookie going into his 7th week in the NFL. And it's not like he's been shut out. He's got 4-5 QB hits I think, 13 pressures(?), a TFL . . . he's shown some flashes, he'll be fine. Still think he can get 7-9 sacks before the season is over. |
