Well, it looks like Furious George played good enough in Sunday to shut Tribal up for a minute. That's a nice change for this thread.

The guy is a roleplayer, if he wasn't we wouldn't be complaining about the passrush. It's more of the same with this guy.

Of course, there's really nothing he can do short of being an All-Pro that would be good enough for you. For somebody who was absolutely certain that Karlaftis was going to be a bust, it sure does seem like your expectations were as high as anybody's. |

Never said he was a bust, 2 coverage sacks and 1 on a practice squad QB. That's roleplayer stuff. The glare of your Rose colored glasses, are blinding you. If Karlaftis wasn't then we wouldn't be complaining about the passrush.

Thought he had 2 good games before this and this was back to his earlier form, just a step too slow and really struggling to get pressure or impact the passing game. But sacks matter, even hustle ones, so that's been positive.
I still don't think it's happening for this guy until next year. It's a shame because a DL that has pressure pretty much exclusively from Jones isn't ideal. |

I think he's coming along. I know a good offseason workout regiment will do him good. Work on speed and power and technique being coached up he can be a blue collar player but we will still need an edge rusher.

I cheer for any sack we can get. A coverage sacks means the defense did it's job and probably offense lost more yards on the sack.

Yep agreed on both points. Think an offseason where he gets a chance to breath, take stock, work on his plans, get S+D work in, will help. We know he'll work, but he probably honestly needs a rest as well.

The Greek Freak is tied for 3rd among top rookie pass rushers with 3.5. Houston had 4 and Hutchinson is beast with 7 and 9 knockdowns. So the Greek is doing just fine amongst his draft class. Hutchinson was the 2nd pick in the draft and the Lions hit a home run. No way could we have traded up for him but we did hit a home run with McDuffie. I think Blake Vermer just went with BAP that's an edge rusher and liked the Greeks motor.
I still like the pick and he is just going get better and help us win a few Championships.

It's not all about sacks. There's been a few times over the last couple games that the opposing QB had to unload because George was in his face. Going from a stand up OLB in a 3-4 to a fist in the dirt DE in a 4-3 takes some time to adjust. If he gets 6 sacks this season (not counting playoffs), I'd say that's pretty damn good. He's a hard working kid that will be just fine with some off season work.

Will he ever lead the league in sacks?…. No But coverage sacks are still sacks and better than the alternative. |
