1. The upcoming 49ers @ Eagles game is a possible preview to the NFC Championship game, if the 2 teams get by the juggernaut Lions. Who wins this matchup?
Do we know where Minn is playing Turner? Is it DE or is it OLB? I thought I had heard right after the draft the Vikings were using him at OLB. Yes? No?
I know Turner, I know how good he’s been his whole football life. If the Colts had drafted him I would’ve been fine.
Im not reacting much on the weight…. 257 vs 250. Seems Laiatu lost weight for the combine while Turner gained a little. That happens all the time. I think the Colts have Latu listed at his normal 265. Just an observation.
The comp I was referring to was a graphic (by Colts Cast I think) that compared his final two years to Myles Garrett.
Latu weighed 257, Turner was above 250 at his pro day. They have different frames, but they are not that far apart in weight.
Turner just has the upside. In the past, he's the exact type of ER prospect that Ballard would drool over. But he wasn't a project. He was the #1 ER in his HS class, started 3 years at Bama and produced in the SEC (DPOY). Has dominated at every level.
It was certainly a change of approach and I would agree that Partridge had serious input.
