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
George Karlaftis generated a career-high 6 pressures on 20 pass rushes (30.0% pressure rate).
Karlaftis has recorded at least 3 pressures in every game this season and has nearly doubled his pressure rate (15.1%) compared to his rookie year (8.0%).#CHIvsKC | #ChiefsKingdom
George Karlaftis recorded a career-high eight pressures in yesterday's win over Chicago.
His 16 pressures this season rank sixth in the NFL behind only Aidan Hutchinson (19), Maxx Crosby (19), T.J. Watt (19), Myles Garrett (18) and Micah Parsons (17).

I did notice that on many plays, Jones got doubled by linemen and George got a chip by a a RB or TE. That tells you which Chiefs the other team thinks are the biggest threats. [Reply]
We kept talking about how Jones would make sacks for Karlaftis. Fellas, Karlaftis got a sack for Jones yesterday.
That spin he made (an actual spin move, not the Shart Pirouette) put that LT in a blender and you saw Fields slam the brakes to keep George from pile-driving him - only so Jones could do it instead.
If that's Shart on the edge, Fields gets the corner and probably runs for 4-6 yards.
Karlaftis got Jones one step closer to his incentive by being a MUCH better player than the pile if shit we mercifully and finally jettisoned from this roster. [Reply]

Frank Clark taught him that spin move. Those words straight from George’s mouth. Put some respect on his name. [Reply]
[QUOTE=DJ's left nut;17129613]He looked amazing on Sunday.

This defense is so much better with all the guys who are young and ready to run through a wall every game. Previous Chiefs defenses had too many guys that were not like that, top heavy. Now Spags can tell players go 100 miles an hour and sit if you don't. [Reply]

It's fun watching them come together. Anudike-Uzomah didn't do much with his snaps yesterday, but considering what he has already shown I think you can still be really excited for him moving forward.
Once everyone is healthy, available, and up-to-speed, KC just has so much depth at the DL spot. They can really run in waves and maximize effectiveness of guys. [Reply]

yeah, my favorite whipping boy, Malik Herring, looked game yesterday and showed up more than FAU did.
He's young; long way to go yet. As you said, he's flashed enough already to be excited about his potential. [Reply]
It’s so promising to see so many young players make strides under Cullen. Pretty much every single DL player is noticeably far better now than before he took over. This DL is going to be NASTY towards the end of the year and going forward.
You NEVER want to lose a guy like CJ95, but if we do end up trading him in the offseason, I have high hopes for the player they choose to replace him being coached by a guy that has proven to be able to bring the best out of his players.
My fear is losing Cullen to a team wanting him as their DC while also losing Jones to a trade. [Reply]
