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
Karlaftis could have sold out for a sack the other night - he had Herbert dead to rights but pulled up and left his feet to force a bad throw into the dirt.
A good play is a good play as far as I’m concerned. [Reply]
People have trouble with pronunciation of his name. Just remind yourself that Karla has floppy tits and George really likes them. It really helps me to also pretend I’m hearing that in play by play man Mitch Holthus’ voice [Reply]

Generally, yes, you're correct. Depends on the source sometimes though, and there are plenty of shitty ones. Hell, it's really hard to get your hands on good pressure data reliably. [Reply]

I was so happy to see it. I scream at my tv like a lunatic on bath salts when the rusher has a perfect shot at the QB and they go flying right by him.

Some of the hardest data to find for sure, and it's rarely consistent source over source.
I've almost given up on trying to use it for anything which sucks because pressures really do impact plays in a big big way. No, they're not sacks, but apart from sacks and turnovers, I'll take a pressure over pretty much any other 'compiled' statistic.
And it's damn near impossible to find a consistent definition or accounting of them. Frustrating. [Reply]

Also, sacks are not recorded as pressures, so Hutchinson had 9 pressures AND 3 sacks.
George is more a more versatile player in Spags system. We got the right guy. He drops in coverage occasionally and does pretty well. He's a better fit in the system we run. [Reply]
Was a little disappointed that George didn't try something besides the power rush vs. their Ts. Not worried about him though. He's a smart guy and he'll start putting some moves together that'll make him more effective sooner rather than later. [Reply]
