PA on Dallas Turner

[MaroonBells]

If you're seeing this on Purple Persuasions Twitter, you're seeing this quote from PA on KFAN. Before this get out of hand, here's the quote. 

What do you do with Dallas Turner? I'm just going to lay it out like that. What do you do with Dallas Turner? Where do you play him? How much do you play him? Do you care that he was a first round pick? Do you care that Gabriel Murphy is outperforming him in training camp and the Texans game? Do you care that O'Connell came into the Texans game really, really excited to watch the Dallas Turner performance? And I certainly can say the HC of the Minnesota Vikings thought it was a bad performance. I wouldn't know. I just know that there wasn't a lot said about the old 15 after the Texans game, and there was a lot said about 59. So that would be, I guess that would be the potential proverbial dark cloud on the horizon.”

The operative part here is "can say." But I listened to the audio and the context makes it very obvious he's saying "can't say."

If Gabe Murphy is outperforming him, then good for the team. We need players, no matter where they come from.

As to Turner, have heard lots of good things from him, from the coaches, from JG and others. Guess those all can be ignored because Gabe had a good preseason game.

If Turner can develop some power moves it would be to his advantage. I think he will be good but it would be nice to see something from him in the pre-season. I would give him a lot of snaps in the next game.
Not sure I put much stock in what Paul Allen has to say!

If you watched the draft day video, Kwesi asked whether O'Connell wanted Turner or "someone other defensive player (likely Verse). O'Connell went with Turner. Hope he doesn't regret it because we gave up a lot for Turner.

Turner didn't have an impact game, but we also didn't have over half our starting defense in there from the start.

Also I'm pretty sure Turner was pulled after one or two defensive series so not sure how he was supposed to have a gaudy stat game.

If Murphy can sustain this level of play with the big boys come the regular season, we'll be in a great spot despite losing Pat Jones. Being 4 deep at pass rusher is HUGE
