Denzelle Good

[C0lts088]

Didn't really focus on him the whole game, but when I did he looked really good. He really is a 'dancing bear'. Quick feet and good strength. Besides the 2 false starts, I'd say we might have a future RT

[Dustin]

Yes, we've got ourselves a future RT. 

 

He played LT today tho. 

[Mr.Debonair]

He played RT

[CanuckColtsFan]

Yeah he was serviceable. Good to see, we might actually get a solid line if Mewhort, Good, and Harrison continue their development. Things are looking up.

[CR91]

He played RT

 

hes talking about reitz

[C0lts088]

Definetly played RT

[Mr.Debonair]

hes talking about reitz

Yeah I missed the sarcasm orignallyv

[zo6scott]

was gonna give him a solid B+ right up till that last false start so a solid B.  GREAT first game!

[Dustin]

[will426]

Lol

[MPStack]

You can`t teach experience and Good got his first dose of it today. Thought he played okay for a 7th rd

pick from where is that U.

[Solon]

He performed better than I thought. With experience and coaching, he can be something special. Hadn't been active the entire season and was left alone 1 on 1 with Tampa's pass rushers. 

[JPFolks]

I thought he did quite a nice job being tossed into the fire, it was not only his first start, it was his first active game.  BUT... Hasselbeck got hammered all day long, 3 sacks and tons of hits and hurries. 

[BrentMc11]

hes talking about reitz

Where did I see Reitz mentioned?  Reitz played the entire game at LT.  Reitz LT the whole game!!

 

Good only had trouble with the quicker 4-4 end.  He dominated the big players that lined up against him.

 

So yes, Good is a future RT!!!   Reitz plays well every position he plays!!  Why do we even bring up Reitz here?

[BrentMc11]

Yes, we've got ourselves a future RT. 

 

He played LT today tho. 

Future is young....Reitz is NOW!!

[BrentMc11]

Who really got hammered all day was Winston.  I do not think some of you watched the game.

[dw49]

I believe he had 4 penalties today ? Gave up some pressures also . But not bad for a rookie from Mars Hill.

[MPStack]

Most of the pressure came up the gut today.

[JPFolks]

Who really got hammered all day was Winston.  I do not think some of you watched the game.

I didn't say Winston didn't get hammered.  He was not the topic or even related to the topic being discussed which was our rookie from Mars Hill and the results of his play.  I do not think some of you read this topic.  

[Dustin]

Future is young....Reitz is NOW!!

 

Good is the future much in the same way Ulrick John and Xaiver Nixon were the future. 

[MPStack]

Good is the future much in the same way Ulrick John and Xaiver Nixon were the future. 

 

Ulrick never took a regular season snap and Nixon was awful.

[MPStack]

After today's game, I think I`d take Good over Fisher on the Chiefs. Dudes a bust!

[Dustin]

Ulrick never took a regular season snap and Nixon was awful.

 

Yeah, i was more eluding to the fact that people have these fantasies that any of these late round/undrafted offensive lineman are going to be anything more than depth and/or PS players. 

 

And btw, I don't think Good played well at all. Especially in the run game. 

[NewColtsFan]

Good is the future much in the same way Ulrick John and Xaiver Nixon were the future. 

 

I didn't see the game....

 

And you may be right....

 

But do you really want to proclaim that after one game?       One whole game?

 

And, if so,   why?      What did you see that says Good has no future...?

[swankdizzle]

You can`t teach experience and Good got his first dose of it today. Thought he played okay for a 7th rd

pick from where is that U.

He's from Mars!

[Dustin]

I didn't see the game....

 

And you may be right....

And, if so,   why?      What did you see that says Good has no future...?

 

Because he's a 7th round pick from Mars Hill. As much as you all want to belive that doesn't make a difference, it does. 

[csmopar]

He did pretty good for a no name rookie from a no name school

[MPStack]

Because he's a 7th round pick from Mars Hill. As much as you all want to belive that doesn't make a difference, it does. 

 

Could not agree more! Don`t think anyone thinks this guy is the next Jason Peters, but he could end up being a serviceable depth future RT in the not to distant future. 

[NewColtsFan]

Because he's a 7th round pick from Mars Hill. As much as you all want to belive that doesn't make a difference, it does. 

 

You know before he was at Mars Hill,  he was at North Carolina State.......

 

He's not without some level of ability.......     and big men often develop late......

 

I'm not making  a case for Good specifically,  only for big men in general.....

[GwinnettColt]

Did well on his first start.  A few penalties, but hopefully that's part of the learning process.  Seem to handle D lineman ok and learned from his first play (falling straight over) and improved.  

[swankdizzle]

Dustin is just being grumpy.  It's a new thing to praise the Colts' O-line. Denzelle had 4 penalties: a hold when he was beaten (for the one time in the game), a horse collar tackle (he has to work on his tackling), and two false starts. He played like, well, a rookie. But he dominated his opponent most of the game.  That's Good.

[OffensivelyPC]

He did better than most 7th round rookies do. I wouldn't day he's the future RT. Got beat quite several times in the pass game, but was often saved by the quick 2-3 step drops. Wasn't very good in the run game at all.

[Nesjan3]

Good played good, a couple rookie mistakes but what do you expect from a 7th round rookie from Mars Hill, he was probably so nervous he was puking at half time. Good to see that we have some depth on the Oline 

[21isSuperman]

Because he's a 7th round pick from Mars Hill. As much as you all want to belive that doesn't make a difference, it does. 

What round and college you come from doesn't determine how well you do in the NFL.  There are many stories of undrafted guys or guys coming out of smaller colleges who have a lot of success in the league.  I'm not saying Good is a future Pro Bowl tackle, but to say he has no shot because he's a 7th rounder out of Mars Hill isn't a good argument, in my opinion.  I thought he had some good flashes today.  He took a few penalties, but rookie jitters and all that can be taken into consideration.  Again, not saying he's a future starter, but I'm not gonna bury the guy right away

[John Waylon]

Not bad. Just gotta get some of his penalties cleaned up. 

[RockThatBlue]

He did pretty well for his first start. Run blocking was pretty bad but I don't think anybody on our o line did a good job of that today. I saw Harrison get pushed back several times. Still don't know what the staff sees in him.

[Malakai432]

I thought he did quite a nice job being tossed into the fire, it was not only his first start, it was his first active game. BUT... Hasselbeck got hammered all day long, 3 sacks and tons of hits and hurries.

Yeah he did a serviceable job. On the flip side, where the heck did the Colts pass rush come from???

A combined 8 sacks in today's game, ouch! I liked what I saw from the D, they generated a lot of pressure.

[ColtStronger]

Good surprised me for the most part.  I was very frustrated with all of the penalties 4 of Colts 5, but then again from somebody who was taking his first NFL snaps as a 7TH ROUND PICK.  I am extremely happy with the performance (because it didn't cost a game, and it gave the man some valuable experience). 

 

As some mentioned he handled his opponent well, and that's what matters.  The false starts can be cleaned up with practice and experience.  The horse collar tackle, well he is a tackle, but that's not his job.  Although, it was on a big play.  Griffers had a great catch and then fumbled, however there was another penalty, which negated each other.  Then 1 holding penalty is understandable regardless of lack of experience.  Tackles get beat at times, nothing to be too upset about.  So overall, I am optimistic about the performance.

 

That being said, I wouldn't worry too much if he has to fill in more in the future.  Time and work ethic will tell if he could be anything more, but when Castonzo comes back and the solid play of Reitz, I don't think we need him to be great anytime soon.  2 or 3 years down the road if he's hard at work and developes well I wouldn't be surprised if he did turn out to be "Good" (pun intended)

 

One more pun I wanted to throw out there (hypothetical), if he was in that position last week, and Andrew was the QB there would've been a pass play with the recipient of Good, and the passer Luck ;)  You get my point here... The Good-Luck combination lol.  Just something I wouldn't mind seeing in the future for a trick play TD!!

 

Okay that was stupid.  I admit, but I have a colorful imagination, so deal with it.

[ColtsLegacy]

For perspective, the Bucs have the worst group of DEs in football.

[Nostrils]

Yeah, i was more eluding to the fact that people have these fantasies that any of these late round/undrafted offensive lineman are going to be anything more than depth and/or PS players.

Lol this guy
