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.

    • When a team has EXPECTATIONS you have to show them that your fandom and praise is EARNED.  People would be mad if the they lost two one goal competitive games like 2023 but they wouldn't have gotten booed out of the building because the effort and competitiveness would be there but to lose in THAT fashion at home with your entire top line going free lance and saying fug this yeahhh.
    • Well with back to back road games to open the season again we really can't afford a "slow start" at least not for the psyche of the fanbase that is already at rock bottom from years of losing. I think that will depend on our approach to preseason this go around. But I do agree the makings of a culture change could be big for us. At the same time we heard talk of this last year and then we got the doors blown off multiple times. I can agree with you it's best to try to maintain perspective until we get closer to the midway point of the season. The main things I want to see early on even if we aren't necessarily winning is spark and toughness from the offense and defense and at least keeping games close.
    • First goal hmmm im going with Verhague
