In all honesty, they have no choice, but to play FAU.

Um, that's pretty clearly a safety. LT clearly jerked him back in the end zone.

O.city 09-11-2023 02:20 PM

That happened right in front of us. I thought he looked pretty advanced for a rookie DL.

He's going be better than Karlaftis, definitely as a pass-rusher. Better get off, better hands, better plans. Think he's going to be a fun

Damn that's a good punch.

Maybe it was luck, but if that was plan, he just couldn't have done it better. As soon as the LT raises that right light to protect on an inside move (hands go up) FAU just drives two arms into his chest and gets low to rock him backwards.

From that point forward the rep is pure defense for the LT.

That's a HELL of a play. And its hard to teach it; that almost has to be instinct, at least in part.

I got him in saaandbooox.

He's gonna be a damn nice player, fellas. I was a little disappointed in the pick and I think I was pretty wrong.

Yeah he can play.

Clearly more naturally bendy and explosive, George is more about hustle and brute strength

I think we're going to be extremely happy with the Anudike-Uzomah and Karlaftis pairing for the next few years. They complement each other well, and Anudike-Uzomah adds some nice explosiveness.

He's more advanced than I expected.

Taylor Decker is a damn good LT and very techinically sound. To be able to beat him with a technical move, not just pure athleticism or outside speed, in his first pro game... that is enticing.

Right now Karlaftis is really just hustle. The power is reasonable but it's not sudden and because he doesn't have other tools, like FAU, he's easier to block. What makes a guy like FAU look better is the variety. Yes he's bendier and explosive but there's also still a credible threat of power. Add that to a deliberate or instinctive approach to rush plans. He's just...better, imo, or how it looks to me.

New World Order 09-11-2023 04:21 PM

Karlaftis is going to be a Paul Kruger type player. High energy, solid in every phase of the game…

MahomesMagic 09-11-2023 04:59 PM

I was a Felix guy before the draft and he's only getting started.

Expect him to hit another gear once he gets a bit more comfortable.

Karlaftis is really good in space knocking down passes and getting in the way. Sooner or later he will get a pick 6.
