TJ green

I say cut him because I don't think they have much plans to keep him anyway.  He's a high to mid 2nd round pick who will still be a backup at the end of his second season. He still has zero situational awareness.  Sometimes it seems like he still hasn't learned much.  I meant to me he should be getting those snaps Darius Butler is getting, but he hasn't shown enough to warrant that.   Yes Butler is way more experienced and plays with much more awareness, but my issue is he's much less of an athlete than TJ.  Butler doesn't even have good range for the safety position and hasn't made that many plays this year.   TJ should be at the point where he should be taking snaps from Butler but he isn't.  We know Hooker and Geathers are going to be the starters next year most likely.   And you know between FA and the draft they are going to bring in better players.  Players who have the things TJ doesn't.  Hopefully he'll prove me wrong, but I have doubts.   I've sort of lost the patience I had with him.

I would be willing to give him another year under a new DC.

He has the size and speed. He just needs a Coach that can bring out the best in him.

Look at Tim Jennings and Jerry Hughes.

He's only in his second year on his rookie contract.

I'd give him one more year to prove himself.

hahaha this guy

Green has played pretty well the last couple of weeks.  The piling penalty was stupid but if you watch he jumps on the pile before the whistle blew.  If he had come down on his feet instead of then rolling on top of the ball carrier it probably would not have been a penalty.

 

Until Geathers comes back to form, Green is the best safety against the run on the Colts roster.

I don't think calling them injury prone is fair. 

 

Geathers has been out a while for a massive hit he laid out during the Titans game last year (to win the game on a fourth down stop) and you cannot mess with the neck and so I think he will be solid in the lineup once fully recovered, and Hookers injury looked a sore one and I am sure he mentioned it was only the second time he had missed games through injury in his football career (cant recall the exact quote but something along those lines).

 

Agree we need more depth though just in case.

Geathers has had other injury issues besides his neck and Hooker was injured quite a bit at OSU which is why he never saw the field until last season. And he need surgery after that lone season haha

i don't think so.  i think this is just all kinds of wrong.

 

green is terrible.  against the pass.  terrible.  against the run.  terrible.  

 

there are probably 30 dudes just sitting and waiting to get a tryout that are better than him tomorrow.  no practice needed.

Well.... there.... you ... go.

 

Quite frankly though, your few words on a forum don't change what I have seen.

 

But thanks for your input.

    • Holy cow!     And then shows he should have been picked top 5 
    • This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though.
    • This would make us much better and talk about excitement, we really haven't been legit good since 2020 when Rivers surprisingly played good and Taylor was up and coming, + Leonard was a maniac back then. I have had tremendous patience with this team and Ballard. It's time to crap or get off the pot, being average gets old after a while. This fanbase is used to us making the playoffs every year, when it hasn't happened in 3 seasons, time to do something.
    • Boston takes an L at home against a Butlerless Heat team. I can't stand Boston, this is too funny.
