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 is a good left end, he is an asset to the defense. He plays smart, is good against the run and gets pressures and some sacks. No need to hate on him at all. He's like an old school left end. [Reply]
I don't hate him, I just think he has been overrated by some. Maybe it's swinging too much the other way now. The problem with our DEs is they can't generate quick and consistent pressure, and I think Karlaftis has kinda become the embodiment of that. He's a hustler who gives full effort, he just doesn't have a real elite characteristic.
But we're crying out for speed from the edge. [Reply]

We are.
Spags isnt.
He has a true speed rusher on the roster now and seems content letting Chris Jones tell him to play Nose.
If Uche can't even get himself activated on gameday, Spags simply doesn't give a shit about speed rushers. He's wrong, IMO, but it is what it is. [Reply]
George is fantastic within the system. Unfortunately for a large part of this year the rest of the line has not been great. The last few weeks with Ohminihu back the lines had better rush integrity and hits showing up across the board. [Reply]

Love Spags and Andy, but their most annoying quality is letting unproductive players keep playing because they "know the system". I think they just get too attached to guys and don't want to make them feel bad. [Reply]

Outstanding draft pick. I don’t think you pay the guy as of right now. He’s a good complimentary rusher not a difference maker on his own [Reply]

The "system" has won 3 Super Bowls in 5 years. I think they've earned the benefit of the doubt. [Reply]
