@RobertMathis98: I will say, my lil bro @BjoernWernerBTM is definitely going to make #ColtsNation proud b/c the kid is flat out playing good football.

And before the one person comes in saying "It's his teammate, he's gonna talk highly of him."

You can count on your fingers how many guys Mathis takes the time out to personally congratulate. He doesn't often do it

:colts:

Well if you compare last year's effort and speed to this year it is a night and day difference. I felt he was lazy or out of shape last year, but he did have a couple nice pass deflections. This year he is looking much better in preseason.

He was neither

Maybe he was just playing a position for the first time in his life and was learning the ropes to it then got sidetracked by injury.

Just maybe

But what do I know? I'm just a 20yr old apple juice drinker

I wonder if they will start Werner opposite Mathis if he plays well after the suspension is up? 

 

At the very least, they could get him out there in passing situations more often, improving on the pass rush Walden gives us in those situations. We've been dropping Werner into coverage a lot from the Rush spot in preseason, even on passing downs, so far in preseason. I wonder if that's to get him plenty of experience dropping back against pro competition.

I do not know for sure, but I seriously doubt that he was lazy and out of shape.

Exactly WH, Werner looked decent to me last year & it takes at least 1 season to master an NFL playbook so you can stop over analyzing schemes & just react to what you see & fly to the football. 

 

Werner should take a big leap forward this year IMO. 

 

Okay TK24 pretty much said the same thing I did. "Maybe he was just playing a position for the first time in his life and was learning the ropes to it then got sidetracked by injury." 

 

My apologies for stealing your thunder there TK. I missed that line initially. My bad. LOL! Good point though.

I hope he does, He is playing faster this year and more self assured, Lets see if that happens when it counts

I read ya Gavin, but I think Werner will make his presence known in November & December actually without a significant drop off or disappearing act. Yes, I know we all need to see the learning curve close for the better 1st. I agree 100%

He's even looked quite good in coverage so far in preseason, much better than I expected he'd be.

It would seem like an obvious move to me to replace Walden with Werner if possible.

 

Mathis is here at least until after the 2015 season.  It would seem to me to be a bit of a waste of Werner's talents to have him ride the bench for 3 years as "Mathis's backup"

Lol now I feel like a good German beer.......

I know what you mean Malakai432.

 

Just don't drunk too much German beer or you'll end up passed out wearing some strange outfit with lederhosen wondering why in the hades it seemed like a good idea at the time buddy. LOL!

Looking forward to seeing him wreak some havoc!

THE GERMINATOR WILL DESTROY YOU!

:lol:  :funny:  lmao Great saying there M Colts M! It's like the old Saturday Night Live skit about Hans & Frans mocking body building Champion Arnold Schwarzenegger. "We're gonna pump you up! Yawh!"  :P

 

Yes, I realize that Arnold is from Austria not Germany, but close enough. The joke still works in Luck & Werner's case man.  :thmup:

If Werner has a good year this year, I wonder how many Colts fans here, who have been trashing Werner since the day we drafted him, will publicly admit here that they're wrong.....?

I wonder..................................................................?

There's a higher chance the Dallas Cowboys will win a playoff game this year than for the Werner bashers to swallow their pride and admit their wrongness

Robert is a great person. Response to his fans. Got a retweet reply from him a few times. Anyways I'm hoping Bjoern has a great season. He is working on his covering which was nice to see a slight improvement. He needs to finish plays though on pursuing the quarterback or running back. That's the only thing I seen that was off. You can tell he got stronger as well without losing speed. Imagine the possibilities with the OLB'ers once Rob comes back.

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
