I think it was Chris Jones who said yesterday, that Karlaftis has a high motor and high energy level.

I just pictured him sacking the QB and crossing the QB's arms undertaker style.

I thought the defense looked fast and if not for a few blown coverages, would have kept the Bears from even getting a first down.

Yeah, the defense impressed for sure.

The minor issues that the secondary had in the first half will be ironed out. The big gain that Williams gave up was just an incredible catch.

Bottom line is the guy has literally been exactly what we had hoped for when we drafted him. Both in terms of makeup and performance.

If he's able to keep it up, the sky is the limit. But this fanbase is absolutely going to go wild over someone like this. It's gonna be fun to see.

We all know he still has a steep learning curve, but he is smart, and ask everyone around him questions on how to be better at football. He has a high motor with the mental aspects of the game too. Someone on the team, called him a sponge.

I bet by late in the third quarters of games, the bigger, fatter Tackles will be tired. They will want to take a few plays off here and there, but George won't let him. Tamba, DT, and Jared Allen all played relentlessly as well. They all turned out to be in the Ring of Honor.

How about a big hand for Willie Gay. :clap: Dang, he was flying around, Trent even mentioned his plays.

Our LBer's all looked pretty good.

Leo looks like a Beast as well. Adding thumpers like him and Cook are setting a hard-hitting tackle clinic for the rest of the team.

At first I was like "looks more like a good 3-4 DE" and now I'm like double digit sack rookie season book it.

Karlaftis was impressive for sure. I am surprised by how fast and powerful he is. Has All Pro potential and this is no exageration. Eye test doesn't lie.

Good highlight video on George today. Looks like he tipped a pass too

https://youtu.be/-6sP89M5vxg

Halfcan 08-13-2022 09:22 PM
Jones and George are going to create a lot of pressure. It should give Clark plenty of chances to get sacks, so I hope he is ready. Spags has a ton of options with blitz packages as well. We just have to be patient, it might take some time for it to come together. When it does all click, this defense could be dominant.

RealSNR 08-13-2022 09:58 PM
I said double digit sacks for this guy his rookie year and got laughed at.

Suck my dick.

ThyKingdomCome15 08-13-2022 10:12 PM
-George had the best outing by any rookie today by a lot.

-He's going down as a first round gem. PFF had him as their #10 overall pick at, we snagged him at #30. I'm absolutely loving it.

- One sack, two QB hits, a tipped ball, and maybe played a full quarter. On Field's scramble George was a half a step away from sacking him there too. I'm very impressed.

Yes

Not to mention the secondary as a whole may be much improved. If we can get pressure with just four then it takes a ton of pressure off Mahomes and the offense. This may be the best TEAM in franchise history if that defense can lock down opposing offenses.

Mahomes has never had an elite defense to lean on. This may be it, plus it's a young defense overall.

staylor26 08-13-2022 10:16 PM
He's the biggest takeaway from the first preseason game for me.

I absolutely loved him, and I honestly didn't think he'd look this good this fast.

He just does all the little things so well, and people really underestimate his upside/athleticism. With the weight he lost, while maintaining that strength, he looks like a force immediately.

Pitt Gorilla 08-13-2022 10:19 PM
He's pretty much exactly what Bert said he would be. Not sure how that's surprising at all.

He's a very unique talent. He is explosive, yet very twitchy. If GM is looking strictly for a pass rusher who fits the mold of past legends then it's easy to overlook George. That's exactly what happened. His unique style of play, a non-typical style, is why we were able to get him in the first place. Spags said it all in his phone call.

Also, his motor is next level. Him and Pacheco will offer a noticable spark to both sides of the ball just in the way they go about their business. It's exactly what this team needed.

Big hats off to Veach and co.

lcarus 08-13-2022 10:29 PM
Early last season when we got off to the slow start and our defense was a dumpster fire, I remember looking up the best mid-first round DEs and this guy immediately caught my eye. At the time it appeared he might go too early for us to get him without a trade up. Which we ended up doing for McDuffie and fortunately still got Karlaftis with 30. It worked out so damn well.

dlphg9 08-13-2022 10:33 PM
He looked better than Frank Clark has ever looked here. Dude was whipping those tackles uh and looked more dominate than Frank ever has.

This kid is going to be a stud. This may be the best draft class of Veach's career and that's saying something.

Veach wasn't GM, so don't consider that draft his.

BossChief 08-13-2022 11:12 PM
A few of those reps he dominated were against Charles Leno, JR. not an elite LT, but he’s probably top 10. He was the 14th rated OT (regardless of left or right), on PFF last year.

The kid dominated him.

If it were a full game, it would have gotten ugly.

SAGA45 08-13-2022 11:39 PM
Curious to see how PFF grades the edge rushers after this weekend. I havent watched many of the other games but Karlaftis has to be top 5.

ThyKingdomCome15 08-13-2022 11:49 PM

And one thing to keep in mind-Karlaftis' approach is one that will wear on an OT as the game goes on. He's going to get a lot of late game sacks as OT's wear out with his relentless motor. That physicality is going to play.

Phonetically the names are the same and if they were on the same team they would be lined up right next to one another.

A few of those reps he dominated were against Charles Leno, JR. not an elite LT, but he’s probably top 10. He was the 14th rated OT (regardless of left or right), on PFF last year.

The kid dominated him.

If it were a full game, it would have gotten ugly.
That was awfully nice of the Commanders to let Leno Jr go back to his old team for a preseason game.
