Indy Star - Kravits,- SB contenders and early line is Pats Eagles

Top AFC choices

1. New England Patriots. Sorry if I just made you do a spit-take with your Cheerios. But it's hard to bet against a team that went 14-2 last season with a young defense that wasn't quite ready to take the next big step. Give this group another year of maturation, and they're going to be beasts.

This has nothing to do with the questionable additions of defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth and wide receiver Chad Ochocinco; it has everything to do with the amazing way coach Bill Belichick has revamped his team on the run in recent years -- a better job, we should mention, than the Colts

Very few QBs are good at throwing under pressure. Last year when Peyton had his string of INTs, he was getting pressured like crazy and the O-line was playing brutally.

Superman,

i AM GLAD YOIU Sid that, I hear so often how (insert top QB name here) can't throw under pressure, well DUH why do you think that is such a key to every teams game plan no matter who they are facing.

As it's already been pointed out, if you get pressure on any QB, you disrupt everything. The notion that Brady can't throw under pressure is also pretty difficult to support. He's built his reputation on it in lots of ways. Just because his line, more often than not, protects him well, that doesn't mean that when there is pressure he falters.

But if you need more than that, here's a listing of QB ratings from 2010 for blitz situations.

Brady was #2 behind Rodgers. Manning uncharacteristically did not crack the top 10 last year, but I think we're all aware that he had virtually no continuity on his line. Still, if I used your logic, I'd simply say that Manning can't throw with pressure in his face. Which I know is very, very untrue.

That D-Line for the Pats will be number one in rushing yards allowed this year at the very least. And with a young defense behind them that will benefit from another year together AND the leadership of the new vets....Take a look at the Pats schedule, because it may be another 14-2 year, if not better.

With Shaun Ellis it looks like maybe the Pats are going 4-3 all the way.

With not a lot of great LBs and none drafted or got in FA this may indeed be the case.

We shall see:)

Do you think this would this mean you'd see Spikes in the middle and kick Mayo to the weakside ? I'd also be curious to know who'd man the other OLB spot. I think a 4-3 means Cunningham moves up to the line, but who else can play the outside spot? Ninkovich?

Listening to the Felger show they responded to Belichick's press conf where he said when asked about a 4-3..."We're not changing our technique" which would be the two gap, but we "might change alignments" (4-3) depending on game plan/opponent. That tells me the 3-4 and 4-3 as he's done in the past.

BB has said many times he doesn't know what he's got until around week 4..or even later. Because he does build a different team each season.

So I'm retracting the 4-3 only:)

heck Ellis or Haynesworth might not even be on the roster opening day:)

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

      By stitches · Posted

      Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :

      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.
