Meant to post this last night. Thought this was a really informative evaluation of DT Shemar Turner and the process the Bears went through to determine their plan for upping his pass rush productivity (learning from the process they went through with Gervon Dexter) as he transitions from college... to the NFL. There have been almost as many defensive tackles taken (12) through the first 3 rounds as there have been edge rushers (15). The emphasis teams are placing on the interior pass rush continues to be shown.show more

did Poles say whether they view Turner as more of a DT or DE? He did both in college, and DE seems like the bigger roster need now (especially compared to 3T, where they already have Dexter, Jarrett, and Williams).

The ultimate test of body, mind, and soul. 💥 See what determined people are truly capable of on #SurvivingMann starring @DonUSFrogMann Follow for where to watch. #SEALTeam6 #Fearless #NavySEALs #SpecOps #TacticalTraining

Excellent question led to a really insightful answer. @CourtneyRCronin one of the best doing it!

Fantastic question and answer. Great job Courtney!

The unfortunate thing is I found his best reps were actually at edge

Great question and great answer. I love it when the team gives you direct and detailed responses.

Holy football nerd question there Courtney. Good stuff 👍👍

Truly amazed by @JohnDavidtrust this is way beyond retail level. Kept my eye on his trades, Banked $160,000 from this.

I’ll add this too, and I don’t think everyone appreciates this, Poles knows football. I don’t remember Pace or Emory ever sounding half this intelligent about the game.

What a fabulous question and insight overall!

Stop it. They had to draft another DT because their talent evaluation is shit and they drafted one last year that was garbage. You know every spot you pick in the draft and it’s like they don’t know when it’s going to be their turn and they have no idea who the stars are

A lot of wishing on a star here

Should of asked him if he had anymore surprises for today

🗣🗣🗣 Hip - Hop has changed everything. As A Former Manager, The Biggest ' NO - NO ' in Communication is Talking With Your Hands. Unreal.

Was Poles asked if they plan on him playing DT or Edge?

A+ question

Great question

@CourtneyRCronin Do you think there are concerns with Loveland's shoulder holding up?

Great question Courtney! And boy was he ready to give you a thoughtful answer on it. Just makes you believe that these guys are doing their homework prior to the draft and prior to any of their selections hopefully!

Loved the insightful question. Thanks for asking!

dude shut up u dont know fr

Appreciate you sharing this. I was thinking there are comps to Gervon and hoping they see potential for the same development. Appreciate you sharing this. What's your take on Hyppolite? Could you ask Poles if he comps him to Edwards with his tenacity? With a 4.4, could he play S?

Fantastic question

That was a great question Courtney!

Thankyou for being one of the best beat reporters out there. Asking actually football questions instead of asking a dude who just got drafted Jordan or LeBron

Followed because you asked the best question two days in a row
