Fili Moala out for year (merge)

This is another Big Loss for the Colts. Moala has been playing very well.

In our Thursday night game, Mike Mayock commented he thought this was Moala's best season in the NFL and that he had worked very hard to become a 3-4 DL after all his years as a 4-3. Props to Fili for coming so far. Sorry for the injury.

Need to find a way to overcome.

Next. Man. UP!!

Yeah, I believe Mayock when he says that.

Since we dont play a 1-gap 3-4, pass rush is not something expected too much out of our 3-4 DE. That is why I feel, with Frathis out there, Rico Mathews (who was another hit-and-miss 1-gap DL in our former 4-3 like Moala) can be a good run stopper. I am intrigued to see that Geathers guy and what his long arms can bring to the table. :)

Fili Moala - DL - Colts

Colts DT Fili Moala suffered a torn right ACL in Indianapolis' Week 12 win over the Bills, and is done for the season.

Moala went down late Sunday. It's a big blow for the Colts' shaky run defense, though they have a pair of potential replacements in Martin Tevaseu and Josh Chapman. Moala had been battling knee issues all season, and missed three of the Colts' first 11 games. Making $615,000 in the final year of his rookie deal, Moala will be up against it to be ready for camp next summer.

This sucks...Moala was really starting to perform well under this new defensive scheme.

I still say if 3-4 DE Sheldon Richardson is available in the 1st round next year we should get him. Having a good DL will do wonders in making this 3-4 defense great.

Richardson is the guy I been eyeing all year. this guy is a man amongst boys on the Dline even in the SEC.

What sucks is that he could (and probably will) miss the beginning of training camp.

Even if he has a speedy recovery, he'll only be back in the middle of July, which means he'd miss OTA's and workouts on top of being out of shape for the start of training camp.

This is a really bad break for him.

Didn't AP tear his ACL around the end of last season, and made it back in time for this season to start? Pretty sure he hasn't missed a beat...

He is a free agent at the end of the season.I don't see the Colts re-signing him.

He tore it a few weeks later from now, but he missed all of training camp and preseason. His first game was Week 1.

I said that Moala is/would probably going to miss the majority of training camp. He's not AP, where he could miss and know he'll get his starting spot back. Plus Moala's a free agent.

Plus, AP recovered the fastest way possible and made it back only in week 1. As stated in one of my earlier posts, if Moala recovers like AP, he'll be back by the end of training camp.

Why wouldn't we? He's a returning starter, was playing well for us, and won't cost much to re-sign.

I think the fact he wont be ready for a long while will have a lot to do with it. People want to point to Adrian Peterson when talking about ACL injuries, I assure you there a million players who never play the same again to every one that recovers that fast.

On the bright side, we can re-sign him for cheap this offseason.....

I'm not quite as impressed with his game this year, but he has been more effective than years past.

You can say the same about Jerraud Powers too. :)

What is it with the Polian draft picks from 2009? Moala, Powers, Collie - rounds 2 through 4 all on IR

2010 - Ijalana, Nevis - rounds 2 and 3 on IR, who is next, Delone Carter???

I don't know if these guys were injury prone in college, but Polian sure did have a knack.

Either that or it's the strength and conditioning coaches. I just don't get how we're consistently so beat up.

I'd get them away from 56th St. and get them literally chopping wood like the lumberjacks and carrying them. Maybe that will help, LOL :).

    • his reaction to 5, but specifically 6 qbs going through 15 tells me they have 8 or 9 guys they consider premium players.  go back to 2018 draft and he identified premium players as game changing, teams game planning against through the week players. And identified 8 non qb players that year, obviously Q being one of them. I think about those comments a lot, especially when he traded away for Buck. I say there is 8- possibly 9 premium non qb players on the colts board. If one is there at 15, that’s who they take. If not, you can bet it’s a trade back.   
    • good interview with Rich Eisen today.     Talks about fantasy world of getting Harrison.      
    • Do u ever get there is any sense of urgency with Ballard when he speaks bout the team? I hear a lot of I think they should. He just comes across like a guy who feels that he is safe as long as Irsay is the owner. Smooth talker, I guess, and I tire of the soft ball questions from the media. Your team was like at the bottom of the league and that was against horrendous qb play.  Your 2nd round pick corner couldn't stay healthy. Your other corners are late round picks and one coming back from serious injury. I know it's a presser and he can't give it away but man, you would think his defense is just peachy. I honestly think this D needs so much work both schematically and on the talent side. I do think listening to him, he will trade back. I think that the guys that he really covets will be gone or way too expensive. The  top 3 wrs will be gone as will be Bowers. Mitchell is probably not his guy the Dends will go fast. There might be a guy at say 12 but I think he won't pill the trigger and say give  up a 2nd or 3r rounder. 
    • I see most of this forum is fine with Ballard doing what Ballard's always done.   So I'll just remind everybody that he is 54-60-1 and he doesn't have the QB excuse anymore. If he thinks that playing conservative with trading back for more picks and the cap are always the way to go, then I just hope the fan base, and Irsay especially, make no excuses for how those picks work out (and how the top prospects that he didn't make moves for worked out). It's going to be incredibly easy to compare how his strategy works vs what the Texans and Jags have done in FA this year, and it'll be very easy to follow how MHJ,Nabers,Odunze and Bowers perform.
