Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr
BTW. He leads the league in batted balls. Which isn’t exactly a flukey thing. And those can be as impactful as a sack
I tried to look this up (not because I didn't believe you but I wanted to see something in writing before I posted my thoughts) and the only thing I could find was something called "TeamRankings.com" where it has only Simmons of the Titans as a lineman with one more pass defended (that's the only category for tipped passes) than George but I'm not sure if their numbers are totally up to date.
Point is, he is either first or second by 1 for defensive linemen in deflecting passes, which is huge. Chiefs fans should know this better than anyone since you'll never convince me we win the SB without the three passes batted down by CJ. Karlaftis was a good to becoming great pick and will only get better with time. Not sure why anyone would knock him at this stage. [Reply]
That is not a particularly good look for Karlaftis, imo. That's just another prime example of how fucking awful our ability to tackle is. Unblocked, ignored by the RB, behind Russell, not even close to making enough contact to bring him down and all Russell had to do was tuck his head and take a half step forward. [Reply]
4 total pressures against the Donks. He’s approaching 40 overall.
The difference between him and Hutchinson is that George has had his hands on QB’s and just hasn’t finished the job even though it still ruins most of those plays.

He should have at least 6 sacks.
One of those would have been a safety against SF. Clark beat him by a step on that play. If you look at how close George was you could see that there was no way Jimmy would have gotten the ball off. [Reply]

He's st 3.5 with 4 games left I think that's pretty unlikely [Reply]

Tamba was just special.
He had an unrelenting motor and his hands were second to none. You always hope someone can become that player, but it's much harder said than done. [Reply]
