Man we're never going to get that second corner spot fixed.

[NewColtsFan]

 

Disappointing news.....

 

For me,  especially Good and Robinson....

 

Our job just got a little bit harder...

 

[BPindy]

Robinson being out really does hurt. Could've used Butler at safety. Hopefully Geathers is ready to help against Minn and Oakland

[krunk]

Robinson and that groin have been a pain in the butt the whole season.

[Coltsfan1953]

We may have to win a shootout. 

[lollygagger8]

With Robinson out, the coaching staff has got to know by now not to put Butler on the outside at CB.

 

I'm good with Vontae and Melvin on the outside, Adams and Butler at safety. If they need Butler in the slot, then I guess Green will have to come in. 

 

It's Morrison in coverage that I'm worried about.

The Texans throw to the TE more than most teams. Look for Fedorowics to be targeted often against Morrison.

Can we ever have a 2nd corner that isn't always out with a groin

Can we ever have a 2nd CB period? 

 

That's the real question

Look for us to trot out 3 safeties (add Green), and 1 ILB (Morrison out).

We would have Adams and Green at the safety spots. Butler will be in the Nickel, with Davis and Melvin on the outside. Who will be the third safety? I remember doing this when Geathers was playing, but he is out this week.

You would have to wonder if Grigson is going to keep him around come end of season.

I wouldn't. Cut him, re-sign Darius Butler, Keep Rashaan Melvin, and try again for a second corner in FA or the draft.

it will be interesting to see what happens, especially with butler.  hes having one of his best seasons and looks like he could certainly play safety

 

he will be 31 on opening day next year, and its pretty rare for a corner back to get a new contract at that age.  he would be one of the smallest safetys in the league though, definitely the smallest starter

[NorthernBlue]

With all these attempts at fixing 2CB through FA not coming to fruition, plus with Davis' health (he's no iron man), the Colts may need to think about investing an early pick into a CB. Perhaps a 2nd.

I'd keep Butler in the slot and not worry about him at safety depending on Green's development. He won't cost much and if we needed a safety at any time he would be there.

@TKnight24 thanks for all the updates but the threads with twitter in them are really hard to read with the screen scrolling constantly.

[jbaron04]

That's always the case for the colts, we could get iron man Joe thomas who never missed a snap in his career and would get hurt in Indy 

[BullsColtsFan1]

Jaelen Strong and Braxton Miller are both out for the Texans.  Johnathon Joseph is questionable, I read earlier in the week that he was doubtful. 

[Luck2Hilton4TD]

No real surprises except for Robinson.

Yeah, it jumps on my phone screen. It doesn't do it on my laptop though. And I'm not really sure I can do anything to make it stop jumping 

[AZColt11]

Their injury report is about double that of the Colts.

Where did you see that?  Are you sure Strong is out?

Nevermind I found it.   Having him and Braxton Miller out is a good thing. Mainly speaking about Strong.

[Defjamz26]

Robinson being out sucks. You guys will be surprised to hear this from me but I have a lot of confidence that Rashan Melvin can hold it down with Robinson out. And Butler has looked good recently.

 

If anyone has benefited from these crazy injuries this season, it's Ridgeway. With Kerr out he'll see even more action.

Strong is trash though. His only notable performance was against us last season. Hasn't done anything in the league since.

Earl is the smallest and look at him lol

I'd skip this year on CB and go olb  first two rounds and OLINE in the third again

His only notable performances have been against us is the key word.  I don't view him as a baller either although I will say I haven't seen them make much  use of him.  I'll say that before I say he's trash. I do know Obrien goes to him more against us.  With him and Braxton Miller out there's really not much Osweiler has to choose from.  Hopkins won't get much done with Vontae on him.  There's really not much left other than Fuller and Fiedorowicz.    I like it that way.  With Morrison on the field I'm going to assume we may see them make more use of those backs in the passing game.   Akeem Hunt is pretty fast at 4.3.

I'd just platoon Green and Butler at safety. Green is better against the run, and given how awful Osweiler is, I'm expecting we'll see quite a bit of Lamar Miller.

I think it's been more of a pain in the groin!!

Until Osweiler gets his **** together or the Texans find a quality QB no receiver is going to look very good for the Texans. Hopkins numbers have even suffered this year because Osweiler has been inept. Strong has to improve his route running but he has enough speed to beat corners deep and can high point the ball

[krunk]

I'm feeling some kind of way about not picking up Casey Hayward and Opting to go with Patrick Robinson. Heyward is sitting there with 7 picks and can play on the outside. Meanwhile Robinson is inconsistent when he plays and we never even know when he will play half the time. Wish we would have gone with Heyward now. Iwas okay with Robinson at first, but its become more clear that Heyward should have been our move.

Nitpicking, but a quick Google search gives me that Butler is 5-10, 188. Tyrann Mathieu in comparison is 5-9, 186. Smaller side for sure, but possible

[Archangel]

IMOP The Texans are more than likely to run against the colts to keep Andrew off the field. They do not want to get in a shoot out in this game. The Texans are aware of the cb situation for the colts but would rather run clock management in this one. The promblem with the colts are no matter who plays at cb if you cannot put a little pressure on the qb your corners will be non effective. If the colts can contain the texans qb who likes to scramble and put a little pressure on him and play tight on the wide outs, Then the corners will be extremely effective but then you have morrison he is the one that concerns everyone here.
