ColtsBlitz Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Great for us considering we had so many missed tackles. Hopefully will bring that with him and teach our young backers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZColt11 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Welp, that's better than 3rd to last I guess. Other than that, IDK what to make of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a better tackler than what we had. So pretty much we know he's an upgrade, unless someone else steps up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMeDy Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Problem is our coaches should be teaching the tackling, or at least they need to teach our guys better than what they've been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably tackle per attempt. Gives percentage and his was probably ranked 3rd best so he's the 3rd most efficient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they also add in assists and if he made a tackle he wasn't expected to make like when a guy comes from "nowhere" and makes the tackle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PFF has him ranked that high though, it's at least a positive at something we lacked all season last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albaby Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 It's a basic function of the defense and something that was sorely missed last year. I like watching Spence's highlights. He knows how to tackle and I'm thrilled that he's a Colt now. I see him as one of the starters at ILB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Guy Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 As long as the top two weren't DQ Jackson and Josh McNary, I think this is a positive sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it actually could reward a sure handed tackler but one that is so slow, he just doesn't get in position to make many tackles. I've never watched him play, but surely he must be better than what we are used to seeing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltsfan1953 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 If he can fall down and trip someone, he'll be better than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
