I agree with jd7 -- he definitely brings a physical presence.

 

I also like how they groomed him last year -- I think it was huge for him to get decent experience on the defense without being asked to do too much, as he was a little raw coming out of college. He seems intelligent, he is definitely athletic/big/strong enough to play in this league.  What I really like about him is he seems to have a knack for making plays -- some of his fumble recoveries were pretty impressive and it's pretty obvious he is aware of where he is on the field and aware of where the ball is.

 

I am expecting TJ Green to be groomed in a similar way this year, with plenty of reps on STs as well as in nickel/dime/hybrid packages on D.  I truly expect these 2 guys to be form a very formidable safety duo for many years to come.  We have a stud in Vontae, so if we can get another 2-3 CBs to step up and play solid in the #2 CB position and the slot, we have a chance at having one of the better young secondaries in the league in just a couple of years.

I feel like he's still somewhat raw.  Hopefully a year of NFL experience under his belt, plus time with experienced DB experts liked Mike Adams and Pagano, can lead him to reach his full potential.  Could we see a potential starting safety combo of Geathers and Green in 2017?

He's a hitter, that much has been established. I want to see him actually make some plays on the football in pass coverage. That's where I have some unaddressed concerns with Geathers. Hes more like a linebacker in space than he is a pure athletic safety. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Hes definitely raw and has work to do in coverage, but its hard not to love the physical presence he brings. Can't wait to see if hes progressed this year.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Stephen · Posted

      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.
