"A Bunch of Bullies on Defense"

[Adonai]

Arthur Jones is talking the talk.

 

“We’re going to be a bunch of bullies on defense”

 

“We’re going to knock people off the ball and get after people this year.  I really truly mean that and believe it."

 

“There can’t be any soft guys on defense to play at a high level.  I’m not saying there is that here.  I’m saying (it’s) the mentality I’m going to bring and what I expect out of myself.”

 

"“I don’t want to speak too soon, but I feel this year is going to be special - we have a whole bunch of guys who are bullies, and that’s what you need on a defense - a guy who is going to step up and get in someone’s face and play hard.  It makes me want to play hard for them."

 

"It’s a great locker room, great team.  These guys are awesome here and I’m a part of something great.”

Luck and his boys are great but bring me a title caliber defense and this ol boy is happy.

Jones: “We’re going to be a bunch of bullies on defense! Watch!” ::Gets into a fight with opposing player::

 

Referee: "Unsportsmanlike conduct on the defense, #97."

 

Jones: "What choo talking bout, ref?" ::Accidentally bumps into ref's finger::

 

Referee: "Unsportsmanlike conduct on the defense, #97. Contact with an official. That player has been ejected."

 

Roger Goodell: "Mmm, I smell green, and it aint grass!"

Ha, yeah I was thinking the same think...

 

I hope by bully he doesn't mean bone headed moves like last years Walden head-butt...

 

But with that said, I do sorta like the mentality & shift from the dungy era defensive persona...

[Coffeedrinker]

It's a good thing the Colts didn't sign Jonathon Martin... he doesn't like bullies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a joke, don't start throwing rotten tomatoes at me.

[MacDee1975]

Meh.....talk is cheap.

 

This defense will be average, at best.

[ProblChld32]

Being a defensive player you gotta love the attitude and mindstate  :clap:  

[pgt_rob]

I like it.

[Coffeedrinker]

Does this not qualify as cheap talk as well?

[NewEra]

I have been wanting a smash mouth defense since as long as I can remember. Would be great to see that on the field. They showed glimpses last year. But was really inconsistent.

[USAFHoosier]

As a young kid I watched the eagles with my grandpa and loved that defense, the Reggie White years. Have wanted the colts to be on that level ever since

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

More titles are won with teams with elite defenses and marginal offenses than vice versa.

Offense sells tickets but defense wins championships.

A lot of luck goes into it too.....good thing we have that.

[SOMDColtsfan]

Is this that "monster" of which we have been waiting for? I sure hope so! Please let the Colts finally have a mean, nasty defense this year      

[Warhorse]

Dr Jones....can you do sumthin about my pain?

 

Ya....getup cuz I'm comin again.....

[Gavin]

Meh sounds good but Ill wait and see if it happens

I play for the Colts?

 

Familiarize yourself with the idiom "talk is cheap" and the appropriate contexts in which it can be used before you decide to spout off again, hero.

I'll settle for at least top15

Coffeedrinker used it in the same context you did

Colts player predicted a NASTY defense this year: You call it cheap talk

You predicted an average defense this year: Coffeedrinker calls it cheap talk

Is that not the same scenario but with different variables?

[TKnight24]

I'll settle for at least top15

Only way I'll settle for a top 15 is if we're top 10 in turnovers forced

Then & only then will I settle for a top 15 overall defense

Top ten in turnovers forced is achievable. Butler is an INT machine and Mathis had a few strip sacks last year. Freeman also had a few INTs himself so if we can get a few more turnovers from other members, that is definitely plausible.

If we can teach LaRon Landry how to wrap up, we'd have more forced fumbles. Dude can knock anyone's head off, but it's boom or bust with him when he just launches at the person

"It’s a great locker room, great team. These guys are awesome here and I’m a part of something great.”

That is the kind of leadership you see from a guy brought up and mentored by Ray Lewis.

So only Colts' players can talk cheap? 

Additionally, I am very familiar with the phrase "talk is cheap", it's typically used when someone voices an opinion or thought on an item with no real intention of acting upon that opinion or thought.  Jones has the chance and will act on his statements; whether or not he's successful will have to wait and see, you on the other hand can do nothing to direct your opinion, you have absolutely no control over whether you statements will prove true or false.  Therefore, the phrase "talk is cheap" applies to your statement more-so than anything Jones has stated.

No. Apparently you -talk- about them.

 

Familiarize yourself with the idiom "talk is cheap" and the appropriate contexts in which it can be used -

 

Perhaps it is you who should familiarize yourself with the concept of irony, not putting your foot in your mouth and then being too prideful to acknowledge either.
