BritAlex Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Does McDaniels affect anyone's thinking on what we might do on draft day? There's obviously been whispers of Barkley - McDaniels' offenses haven't been built on the prototypical elite back play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't look like a deal is already official, which I doubt it is, but yeah. Deal can't be official until after the SB and McDaniels signs. It's as official as it gets.

Coltsfanforlife12 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 This begs the question, are we going to switch defensive schemes? It’s not a huge deal either way we’ve got the pieces to play both, with the exception of maybe the OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a promotion, but the team can block anything that's not a head coaching job. In this case, Eberflus' contract expires after the SB, so the Cowboys can't block him from leaving. Lol. Right.

The offense runs well with Lewis and White, neither of which are on the level of Barkley. If we were to select a RB in the third round, the offense could run well too. Barkley would be like Kamara but better. Kamara can do everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young up and commer would be ideal for that position. You want someone that's moldable and can grow into the role while McDaniels runs the show. I'm hoping we get some experienced position coaches though. You really need veteran coaching experience somewhere in that building. As awesome as it would to get someone like Defilippo, he would just leave in a season or two. I assume McDaniels wants someone that will stick around and grow together.

McDaniels has made the offense work with Lewis and White and previously with Blount and other RBs. Colts have Mack. If they pick up one more, McDaniels offense could still work around them.

IndyScribe Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Good thing is that the coaches are young. Peetz is 34 and McDaniels is 41. There's nothing about Eberflus so I have no idea how old he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Barkley necessarily, but I do think McDaniels will want mis-match weapons.

Judging from where he’s come from and the mistakes he made in Denver, I’d expect him to build from the trenches and defense. OLine. DLine. And Linebackers. McDaniels schemes guys open. I could see us passing on Barkley & trading back unless his hands are receiver like... Somebody posted a video of a tight end that looked VERY athletic. From a small school. I hope we can snag him even in the 2nd if we have too. He looked very Gronk like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - on one hand I love the idea of Luck getting a true top-level talent to work with, but with your sensible hat on, you have to think that Mack ticks a reasonable amount of boxes in terms of what JM looks for in at least one of his backs. The boxes he doesn't tick could be ticked on day 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
