Next year, Turner will again be behind Greenard and Van Ginkel, but he'll likely get all the Jones and Ward snaps, so I expect to see improvement in his impact. But I don't think we'll see the player we all expected until Van Ginkel's 2-year deal expires the following year.

Turner had the highest percentage of hurries/pressure per snap when in the game as a rookie. Please correct me if that is wrong or a variation of that. I know I read his hurry percentage was a massive 68% or something. Watch the last 7 weeks when he was in the game. Just watch. You will see all you need to know about Turner. He disrupts the game. He will get a lot more plays with Jones being gone. Flores had mentioned a while back when asked about his skill set, "he said, you almost have to make new plays for him." Read between the lines on what Flores said. Turner is a freak, and he causes trouble. People took that as he doesn't get his defense, and he is struggling. That is not what he meant IMO

Continuity on D will have a big impact, especially on a 2nd year guy like Turner. Hell, even Gink/Greenard should be more at home in 25 with the scheme.

IF they can aDd a disrupter in the middle? Even better!!

You may have to suck it up this year in the draft and just stay at 24 and get that DT for this defense. There are two guys I want out of this draft. DT Derrick Harmon and OG Luke Kandra. I would be a very happy camper if we only drafted those two guys lol.

I hope we end up having a team that is willing to give us a pick or two for Darnold if we tag him. If a team really wants Darnold, that is their best way to go about it. Ask us what we want and tag him. Allows them not to have to compete with another teams. Let's face it, there will be multiple teams that want him. We just need that ONE team that wants him that much more.
