Can’t Wait For Year 2

[JustInTime]

I would have had him do less year 1. Less drop backs. It will pay off in the long run. His bend is 1 of 1. His closing speed is insane. Derrick Thomas 2.0. Jordan Love will be Dave Kreig.

Me too...Drinking from a firehose. 

This maybe crazy, but I'm still not convinced the 3/4 is our long-term D either.

He's 22.

He was buried behind Gink, Grennard and Jones will benefit hi long term.

He played a bit more than people realized. And he had an impact. He will be special this year.

Needs some muscle weight and he knows it. My guess is he'll be a bit bigger this season. Fingers crossed, he's a young guy we need him to be a playmaker.

He could use some more power, but people expecting him to be Jared Verse are going to be disappointed. He just doesn't have Verse's bull rush and likely never will. Those are two totally different edge rushers with two totally different playing styles. Likewise, Verse will never have Turner's foot speed, bend or athleticism. It would not surprise me at all if in a year or two Turner is the more impactful edge rusher.
