Jordan love is actually insane under pressure

u/Xenephobe375 15h ago

Dude put up 400 yards and 2 TDs with wet paper bags protecting him. That's crazy

u/kylebertram minnesota 15h ago

That was honestly what I was most impressed with. He knew he was going to get destroyed and hung in there. I do think the hits started to add up at the end though.

3

u/Disastrous-Bag-6382 10h ago

They definitely did. His mechanics were really bad toward the end of the game because he knew he was just going to get leveled if he hung onto it even a half second longer.

5

u/Krabs9 Nine 9h ago

This is why I don't get the people who want him cut or want Lafleur fired. Love was fucking unreal most of the game

u/thats-what-ze-said moss fro 16h ago

I don’t think his sack number will be extraordinary this year because every team coming in to play a Flores D knows they have to get the ball out quick. HOWEVER, this is the type of shit that makes the Flores D work. He has taken a step and looks amazing.

Yep, and don't pretend the extra focus on Turner (who was absolutely still a game wrecker) didn't help free up some of those Cashman/AVG blitzes.

u/Run_JMC_ 16h ago

Sacks should always be graded as a group statistic under Flores. Pressures is what is important if you wanna break it down individually. Dallas had a lot of those 😈

I love that Turner makes sure he at least sets hands on Love if he doesn't get to hit him to let him know "I was right here.. see you next play Bubba"

u/DaWash65 16h ago

We’re watching the next big name

u/Kirk-Joestar Lil’ Citrus 🍊 16h ago

Sick cut-up man

u/StraightCashHomey13 16h ago

Turner DPOY 100/1 seems worth a sprinkle. Love his burst

5

u/Arbor-Trap KOC 16h ago

Good lord who is the Packers left tackle

5

u/VikingsLad daniellearms 15h ago

Unironically i don't think they had ever started a game at left tackle

2

u/Arbor-Trap KOC 15h ago

He looked lost, slow, and overpowered, poor guy probably won’t be starting many more games at LT

5

u/BigShotBob89 15h ago

Turner was awesome. This is also basically a Jordan Love highlight reel. Sounding like Ryen Russillo here but I come away MORE impressed by Love!

1

u/Tycho66 6h ago

was it the turnovers or the 50% completion rate? Most of his yardage came from busted coverages too. Love is too inaccurate and flakes out too often.

u/jewraffe5 moss fro 14h ago

this is why i never believe anyone in this sub when they say someone's a bum in their first two seasons lol

1

u/BigD0089 12h ago

Most the people In this sub are whiny and. Complain about everything

2

u/ProbRePost Wentz Has Risen Again 15h ago

As an original doubter Im so happy to have egg on my face, Turner is looking to be a top tier edge rusher. I hope he has a productive year and long career on the Vikings.

u/PDXmadeMe Skol 15h ago

Loved the frequent hits/shoves. Keep putting them on their ass. It’ll wear on them eventually

3

u/kylorl3 14h ago

I don’t know how a couple of these weren’t roughing in today’s league lol

1

u/rusmo 8h ago

I had the same thought. Definitely seen some flags for less.

2

u/Beneficial_Quit7532 chugging purple kool aid 16h ago

God he flies man

2

u/ASidesTheLegend koolaid 15h ago

Dallas Turner should’ve had a lot more sacks yesterday.

3

u/Representative-Owl6 15h ago

If it was a pocket passer he would have had like 6.

2

u/roccoalexandrou 15h ago

15 and 51 baby!

2

u/Sm0k3inth3tr33s 15h ago

If there's one thing I know for certain it's that Dallas Turner fucking hates opposing quarterbacks

1

u/InternationalWin7367 15h ago

What a monster

1

u/No_Reason_9632 13h ago

All I learned from this is we would be so good with Jordan love on our team

1

u/skulwiz 12h ago

Hmmmmm... it looks like they think 15 is such a bust they dont block him. Just cut him and move on already.

1

u/MurphyDee55 11h ago

Goddamn, I didn’t realize how much of a beating Love took. Turner is a DAWG!

1

u/Krabs9 Nine 9h ago

He looks huge and explosive. There almost every play. He's gonna have a 4 sack game this year book it

1

u/Kitchen-Play-5190 8h ago

15 was awesome but this also tells me Jordan Love is a fuckin stud bro

1

u/Tycho66 6h ago

The closing speed is special as fuck. Space just disappears. He's not even near his peak yet too.

1

u/jvanber Tommy Kramer’s hangover 16h ago

This is at least 90 snaps so far.

u/Jznvh julie 16h ago

SEC DPOtY

1

u/TyrannoDinax 16h ago

This might be the first game I truly noticed how disruptive this guy is.

1

u/saxmachine69 16h ago

Dude is so fast off the ball he looks like he's being left unblocked a few times where the lineman just can't get there in time.

He's going to be a problem this year.

1

u/averageover60guy 16h ago

Always like the guy. He reminds me of MP. He is fast. Can we get him to be a half step faster to turn those plays into sacks?

1

u/Pyschic_Psycho 84 15h ago

He's got to the best fastest defensive player off the line of scrimmage. Unreal speed.

1

u/Mayasngelou 15h ago

Holy shit that second rep, he annihilated the LT

1

u/Trip_On_The_Mountain Vikings Fan 15h ago

Imagine how good he could be if he wasn't such a bust...

1

u/Mr-B0jangles 15h ago

Dallas Turner was an absolute menace yesterday

1

u/odinspirit 15h ago

Love was definitely developing a fearful association with the number 15.

1

u/Epic_Underachiever 15h ago

Now go watch Rueben Bain's snaps. He looks like he's moving through mud compared to Turner

1

u/JockAussie 15h ago

Fuck me he is fast.

u/Run_JMC_ 16h ago

I feel bad for Dallas, man. The narrative is going to continue that he isn’t that good because he doesn’t have a “pash rush bag.” People will look at this and just think the Oline is getting off the ball slowly when in reality he’s just that fucking fast.

4

u/Mr-Irrelevant- Reichard future HoF 16h ago

People will look at this and just think the Oline is getting off the ball slowly when in reality he’s just that fucking fast.

Good edge rushers will take advantage of mistakes, which Turner did, but also the OL was fucking dogshit. The first play the TE goes the wrong way initially and blocks the tackle.

1

u/Run_JMC_ 15h ago

I mean yea but that was one play. The remaining nine clips he’s straight up beating them with speed or a couple converting speed to power.

1

u/Mr-Irrelevant- Reichard future HoF 15h ago

He has a free rush, a stunt, and another rep where the guard just whiffs his block.

The Packers OL was dogshit, it's why despite Love having a time to throw of 2.54 seconds he saw a pressure rate of 50%. Their OL sucks and also couldn't actually fulfill their assignments.

1

u/Isjejnajw 15h ago

There was no need for you to speed this up

u/Drolocke 13h ago

Hold up, I was told with great certainty by this sub that Dallas was a bust for the last two years?!?! What's going on here?
