Some Quick Things

Kelce was off last night. That is uncharacteristic and I don't expect we'll that again this year.
When should we expect to see some sacks from Karlaftis?
When should we expect to see some yards and touchdowns from Skyy?

I'm going to be honest, if Karlaftis ends up a bust then I'll own that, i liked him as much as everyone. If Moore busts I'm 100% blaming that f***er Toub and his s****y ST coaching. Zero acceptance of being wrong, I will die on this hill.

With Karlaftis work ethic I really don't see bust being a label he could earn. He will take time, absolutely but he will have every bit as good a career as Tamba had IMO.

Pretty much my take, but I also thought he'd do a lot more this year

Tamba was nearly a 100 sack guy.

That's an ABSURDLY high bar.

I mean if the guy manages 50-60 career sacks, that's pretty acceptable to me. I mean if he's Kyle Vanden Bosch you take that 100 times out of 100.

I'm not a big homer (IMO) and if he stinks I'll say it. I honestly believe barring injury he will be a guy that gets between 6-10 sacks a year for ten plus years. He's not going to be the guy who gets you 15 in one season but I think his relentless effort will make him an above average pass rusher.

I just think we lose track of how rare that is. 8 seasons of 8 sacks each is 64, right?

There haven't been 200 defenders in league history to hit that mark. And to get to 90 like Hali puts you in the top 100. All time.

I mean that's a damn stout 'expectation', IMO.

Kelce wasn't the same after the catch where he hurdled the defender and go flipped onto his head/scorpianed... he seemed a little beat up after that...

Karlaftis had some great pressures, but can't quite get over the hump. I think he is going to have a 3 sack game when he does bust out.

Skyy has the tools but is thinking too much, IMO, I think he will continue to get better as he becomes more comfortable with the offense and it becomes muscle memory.
