I think the kid is obviously still learning and adjusting, and the thing about him is that you have full confidence in him making improvements. Especially year to year.

The fact that he has more pressures than Walker and Thibodeaux, while being just behind Hutchinson, makes it hard to use the word "disappointing".

The pressure is there, the sacks should come, and it will feel better when they do.
His run defense is very good too. The guy stood up Quentin Nelson and blew up a run. He holds the point really really well. Look at the runs in the Raiders games. There are not very many that are his fault.

He’s gonna be a good all around DE. Just takes some time

I totally agree that Danna back will help, because he's clearly been missed.

Hopefully that Frank Clark we saw early on can resurface more often, and stay on the field.

And speaking of availability, I'd have to say McDuffie is the most disappointing so far, through no fault of his own. You always want to see your 1st rounders play.
Absolutely. He's been pretty much an ever-present. Have to say I liked what I saw from McDuffie albeit he was up against absolute dross.

Karlaftis was always going to be a guy that you bet on because although he's not super bendy or a freak athlete, he has enough athleticism combined with the work ethic and desire to be great.

This kid was drafted and the first thing he says to his gf is that the Chiefs have some other good pass rushers. He was already envisioning his role and having success.

He just get its and he's a guy you know is 100% bought in. He's going to go workout with Pat's guy in Texas the next few offseasons, and he's going to keep getting better for the first 2-3 years.

I have no doubt he will be a good player/piece, and will really thrive shall we find a size/speed guy opposite of him.

Hopefully with Danna coming back, Clark can stay OFF the field a little more. Maybe it will help keep him healthier.

No doubt. In a perfect world, I think all 4 of our guys should be playing about equally.

Obviously he was talking about Clark because of name only.

I was listening to Detroit radio here in Michigan and they were complaining about Hutchinson's production so far.

I gotta stop listening to podcasts, the other day I heard Jeff Chadiha say Karlaftis has been invisible and disappointing as a player.

Well yea, he was the consensus #1 player in the draft, so expectations are obviously going to be different.

That whole defense is trash though.

Good point, and they probably thought he was going to be their savior all by himself, so expectations are probably ridiculous for most.
