I wish I felt more confident about his kid, I really do. I hope he can emerge.

His flashes were truly brilliant. That sack on Caleb Williams was just insane. This should be a big jump year for him. Fingers crossed.

Turner would be a full time starter on most teams and have plenty of splash plays cuz he is gifted. However Flo being old school guru of complex defenses a gifted stud like Tuner needs to fit the system and not the other way around.

I agree. I have no concern about Dallas Turner. The fact that he was behind Greenard, Gink AND a resurgent Pat Jones, and the fact that he was in a notoriously complex Flores defense, and the fact that he was an especially young rookie (almost 3 years younger than Jared Verse), and the fact that he had 3 sacks in only 247 snaps, which is a 12-sack per season pace, makes me think we'll be just fine.

But honestly, I don't expect a huge year for him in 2025. He'll still be behind (or rotating with) two pro bowlers. I'll say 8 sacks in '25. I think 2026 is when he explodes. Patience is required. Randle didn't have double digit sacks until his 3rd season. After two seasons, Chris Doleman had 3.5 sacks.

I dont expect a leap to 16 sacks this season either - for all the reasons posted since last season.

But boy, we really need to see significant improvement and we need JJM to pan-out as well.

The 24 draft is one of the most important I can remember in a long, long time for this franchise.

I actually believe he is going to have a very good season. If he plays the way he played at the end of last season, he will be just fine.

I think he'll matter a ton in terms of pressures/hurries, as well as TFL. The sack numbers may or may not be sexy, but his athleticism and drive should have him disrupting backfields all season long.

I think he’ll be fine. I don’t really think we need him to be exceptional or anything. Like if he can replicate what Jones did, that’s good enough. If we get more than that, even better. He’ll probably never live up to his draft hype if he’s playing behind 2 Pro Bowlers, and people shouldn’t be holding him to account when that’s out of his control.

I’m going to take the over and get him into low double digits. 10.5, maybe 3 FF, a couple picks, and dozens of ohmygoddidyouseethat! moments.
