Trai Turner - Kony Ealy


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Interesting to see two physical protoype players next to each other and how inheritied physical traits determine how far you will go in football at a given position. Turner is an amazing physical prospect for a road paving guard.

As an aside, according to my body type I would best be used somewhere between punter and assistant turf administrator.

Someone pls give turner a bigger jersey. The old saying is still true, don't judge a book by its cover. Looking the part helps, but its still only part of the formula. There's a ideal size for everything, example horse jockey. You will not find any 300+lbs jockey in the pros, same for not finding any midgets playing OL. Someones makeup, desire, drive, evironment, and mental iq makes up for not being a certain shape. Zob you could have been a player if given the correct upbrings, plus with modern meds/drugs maybe even played on either line. The knowlege of food has came a long way just in the last few years.

Few years back, a buddy of mine and I were watching a 4pm game after the Panthers game and noticed the difference in linemen between the other teams and what we had.  "Look at that guy?"  my friend said.  "Why don't we have anybody that looks like that?"

 

I think with Gettleman in charge that's not gonna be an issue anymore.

Agree 100%. We became a very small team under Hurney.

I know you were just joking around, but that's not always true about punters. Pat O' Donnell, the 6th round punter out of Miami chosen by the Bears, got 23 reps on the bench press at the combine.  To put that into perspective, Jadeveon Clowney? 21 reps.  Kony Ealy? 22 reps.  Trai got 25, but still, some of these punters are strong dudes.

From listening to Gross' podcast the kicking team has a ton of time to kill. They could have a lot if gym time if the want.

    • These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
    • See that's the thing what I saw in game 2 was so embarrassing id rather they could just forfeit 
    • Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
