The positives on Karlaftis are that he looks to have tightened up his tackling and reading of the run game, which frankly wasn't that good. He's also finally turning pressure into sacks. On the other hand, I don't think the improvements as a rusher are as pronounced as people are suggesting. Against Denver I thought his overall game was really solid, but he had one pressure on something like 24 pass rush snaps often against Billy Turner.
Is he improving? Sure, a little, certainly his tackling and finishing plays. Is he going to be very good? I still think so. But right now it's not any more than that. |

JJ Watt (NOT COMPARING PLAYERS) didn't really come on till late his Rookie season either. Lets hope he follows that trajectory

JJ had 5.5 sacks, 30 hurries and 4 batted balls as a rookie on 776 snaps. Karlaftis has 5.5 sacks, 33 hurries and 7 batted balls on 684 snaps and one game to go. JJ had 3.5 sacks in the 2 playoff games he was in as a rookie…and then had 20.5 sacks in his second year. Production wise, they match up well this early in their careers, so we can dream about that kind of explosion of production going forward, but without adding a difference making end across from him while keeping Chris Jones, that’s unlikely. |

Eye popping numbers, indeed... anyone still disappointed with him?

I think at this point only one person is disappointed in him. I also think at this point he is trolling and purposely being obtuse. This kid has been impressive this year and has only gotten better as the season has progressed. This is even more impressive because most rookies hit a wall because of the longer schedule vs college. He hasn’t and is getting better by the week.

To see how he stacks up with Watts rookie year was a serious eye opener, but if anyone expected him to come in here as a 10-15 sack, game wrecking tour de force as a rookie... they were fools |

Swimmers tend to have very good stamina and great core strength, especially water polo players because of all the endless treading water with pretty much just their legs. One of the reasons I thought he could do well, just because he wouldn't get tired as quickly as a typical football player.

I've been in Houston since 97' so I had him on my screen alot. (2010/11) Now he doesn't have the body of JJ, but he is strong already in his own right. George's late season surge reminded me of JJ Watt's. Now if he goes into the playoffs and has a pick six and 2 sacks first game... I will cum my pants. |

Once BV puts another badass on the other edge, this defense is going to make this team unstoppable.

Love the youth in the back end of the defense: Gay, Bolton, Sneed, McDuffie, Cook, Watson, Williams…a lot to be excited about. All drafted by the Chiefs too. I’m all for extending Jones at the right price. Karlaftis appears to be another really nice piece.

Anyone upset with GK at this point in the season is just a hater.
The last half of the season he has really been a force for the defense. And it's exciting to think about how good he will be next year. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G using Tapatalk |
