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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
