Side note, I hope Turner puts it all together and stay away from the medical tent.

If ( big IF I know) Turner and Penning are healthy and show up it would be like adding an additional first round pick to both the O and D lines. Keeping fingers crossed. Injury breaks have to go our way sometimes, right?

I like the way you think Boston because I feel the same way!

May have a point ... Cameron Jordan was slow his first year.

It takes some time to get up to speed for DE's. If that's the case, then why do we keep picking projects that should take even longer to develop?

K Major · 08-22-2023, 08:25 AM

Yeah, yeah but we've all seen PLENTY of players with hustle (Lalos) out there in these pre season games. I have yet to see any type of pass rush from Isaiah. Show something.

Foskey needs to kick it up a notch ... at practice and in this last pre season game.

Agreed, but Lalos has been playing honing his skills in the farm leagues.

So what you are saying is that our highly rated 2nd round prospect is probably looking at a "redshirt" year, won't contribute much & needs quite a bit of work

?

I didn’t like the pick at the time.

One could argue that Foskey has greater ability than Turner or Davenport bc the greatest ability is availability. It would be a positive to see the lights come on earlier, and when they aren't, we know they may never be. But, at least he is on the field and he didn't cost a 1st round pick. It may be easier to teach him moves than to teach other players durability. The same issues with Foskey can and have happened with top 10 picks failing to develop, so maybe this teaches the lesson that you want more picks no less because its a crapshoot. Unless of course we are so amazingly deep that we need to trade up because we don't have roster spots for 5 rookies. Haven't heard that one lately and sure didnt look like it against LA. I would rather a player who plays too upright than one who watches too reclined.
