If Haeg can also come back after the bye week, that is some solid reinforcement for our lines.
Man, this draft class has the potential to be something special. Another draft class anywhere like this one in 2019 along with a quality free agent or three could really tip the scales on this squad.
As a reminder:
7 games / 12 tackles / 0 TFL / 7 QB Hits / 3.0 sacks / 1 FF / Kemoko Turay
7 games / 07 tackles / 5 TFL / 3 QB Hits / 3.0 sacks / 0 FF / Dwight Freeney
7 games / 07 tackles / 2 TFL / 0 QB Hits / 2.0 sacks / 1 FF / Robert Mathis
I am NOT trying to say that Turay is going to be a Mathis or Freeney.
I am SAYING that the kid is improving and looking good. Interviews indicate that he is studying the HECK out of film and drinking in everything Mathis can teach him.
Also, this:
1 / 05 / DE Bradley Chubb / 9 QB Hits / 6.5 Sacks
1 / 14 / DE Marcus Davenport / 5 QB Hits / 2.5 Sacks
2 / 46 / DE Breeland Speaks / 3 QB Hits / 0.5 Sacks
2 / 52 / DE Komoko Turay / 7 QB Hits / 3.0 Sacks
Only 3 rookies have more sacks than Turay: Chubb, LB Darius Leonard (4.0), and FS Derwin James (3.5).
Seriously excited by this draft class. Seriously excited.

I like Turay’s progress, but he is still a liability against the run and can be blocked by TE’s. That Sony Michel run was right at him in the pats game. Chubb is a much better run defender and has tackles behind the los. Still that is comparing a top 5 pick with a low second rounder. Turay looks to be developing well, and this is a marathon not a sprint. I still think we need a big name or two along the dline like the Eagles, but we have a nice base now.
