If he makes it, they have to cut Basham or Hunt. Basham hasn’t shown much, another disappointment.
I just can't see what Hunt offers on this defense. He has no edge moves, no speed and does not demonstrate power in run support. I'd much rather have Basham.

He's won me over! He's been the very description of what they're looking for from the position.

I’m concerned about our edges and who is supposed to have contain? It just seems like we are having issues containing outside runs and bootlegs.
You are correct. Look no further than the edge support from Skai Moore and Najee Goode. Moore is a rookie, so I can cut him some slack, but Goode is a 7th year player, that's not getting it done. They need to get Morrison in there at Sam now.

I can't imagine a world where Howards makes this roster. What an epic disappointment. Mark it down as a first for me to see a tackle just turn around and sprint towards the QB yelling "look out!" I'm am so thrilled that Frank pulled him immediately thereafter instead of hanging with a dysfunctional vet for vets sake. To call this guy atrocious (which another poster used after the last game) is spot on. I still think Haeg is the starting RT when AC comes back (which is a must). This just in...Good gets hurt again, ugh.
Ona brighter note, there are some interesting players on this roster even in the third stringers and I would add, our second and third string depth was much deeper than the 49ers.
I'm looking forward to the first game!
Agreed, Howard is NOT as advertised!
God help Andrew if Haeg starts though, he's a 2nd string player at his best.

Najee Goode is not a 1st string LB. Franklin is better already.

It's a 4-3, but there are a number of alignment variables. Generally though, they are responsible for runs in the "C" gap and to press/pinch down on the "B" gap.

From my armchair, Wilkins has shown great vision and recognition in both games, and is headed up the depth chart. He's runs smart, so I think the blocking will come fast to him.

Colts vs Ravens
First, the Ravens ran an aggressive rush package against the Colts. It included various twists, a multitude of blitz packages, and a fairly constant 6 man front. Using their defensive strength, in style, scheme and aggressiveness, was actually a great thing for this developing O-line. It provides a plethora of teaching / learning opportunities vs a vanilla attack that would have left the team (and Fans) with possibly a false sense of bravado.
To that: Nelson, Kelly and Slauson all got beat on the inside a few times. That inside pressure played a role in the way the game played out for AL. While Clark and Smith held the edges much, much better than many here have claimed (It sometimes seems like people see what they want to see and not what really happened). The 2nd unit was pretty much overrun, as was the third, as the Ravens did not stop their aggressive defensive calls and fronts. Howard, Burwell, Callendar, Glowinski, Haeg, Vujnovich & Webb was an orchestrated calamity.
IMHO, Wilkins has consistently shown the best vision and decision making skills of this current group. He would have seen the lanes the O-line made early in the game and the game story would be much different. Michael however got those carries and didn’t exploit the seams and lanes that the line did produce. Hines actually made decent decisions running behind much poorer blocking late in the game. I wasn't on the Hines for Pro-bowl wagon early on, and I'm not on the Hines to the scrap heap wagon either. He's a rookie who needs more time and reps.
Early, the Colts ran a lot of plays that taxed the blocking skills of the TE's. They won't like their grades.
Ishmael, Yes please!
AL was hitting most of his targets, but not in stride. When guys had a step or two is was lost to the ball placement resulting in a quick tackle and zilch for yak. JB did a nice job managing the high pressure and poor blocking. He was more accurate and quicker with his decisions than AL Monday.
D-Line has talent and depth on the inside with Woods, Stewart, Ridgeway & Autry.
The edge so far is best manned by Sheard and Simon, they just don't give up their edge. Delaire and McCain both have speed off the edge and will tax OT's. Hunt is listed as a DT but they have him on the edge. Why? If Turay and Lewis give us anything on the edge we'll be OK up front.
Leonard looks like high level player in the making. Moore needs more run support skill to make the front row. In the Najee Goode, Antonio Morrison, Matthew Adams battle for SAM, I like what I’m seeing from Antonio and Matthew more than what I’m seeing with Najee. Also, it's time to see more of Tyrell Adams & Zaire Franklin IMO, those two stand out clearly to me when they take the field.
Geathers !!!!
Desir, Wilson & Hairston continue to look like the 1’s to me. Milton next, and the rest is clear as mud?

If Andrew came out and threw fastballs and 70 yard'ers every day, he'd be completely disregarding his rehab protocols. Instead, he's following the correct process by focusing on his motion and release, then his timing and accuracy, and last optimizing his velocity and trajectory. He's right on track. This whole insider, secret source, scare tactic is crapola.
Let's all disregard the player, the coaches, our own eyes, and go directly into panic mode!

Smith has good size, good strength and good traits. It's easy to see why they like him. I like him, but starting RT, day 1, against the leagues elite edge rushers? That's asking a lot. Practice and pre-season reps at RT, heck yes, it'll accelerate his development. Let him have at it.

Looking like Hines is falling behind Wilkins
Wilkins looks like a quality addition to the RB committee. I really like what I saw Thursday night from him. He made the best out of every step he took. I saw excellent vision and decision making in that sampling.
Hines looked like he had a classic adrenaline overload in his first outing. That can happen, so I'm dismissing those awkward moments in my judgements. I do think he could be the KR they've been hunting for and hopefully a threat at PR too. Anything out of the backfield would be bonus stuff in my book.

I need to see what the starting DL does in pre-season games 2 and 3. Skai and Darius are going to need to be protected to an extent by the DL in run D. A lot of LBs can be drag down tacklers (cough Pat Angerer), folks that show up near the ball after most of the yardage is gained, but there are few that read the play fast enough to shoot gaps before the OL has had a chance to release from the DL. Since that can only come with time, the DL protecting the LBs has to happen to afford that luxury of time with this young D.
Taking right gaps most of the time (no Clint Session or Gilbert Gardner memories, please), not easily sucked into play action by maintaining a level of depth and making the occasional shoot-the-gap play is what I will be looking forward to. It all starts with our big DL uglies in the front, and the LBs will benefit with the ripple effect.
I am not ready to crown or disparage anyone yet.
Well said.
I'd add that the infinitely described "Speed Of The Game" effect was present. The game will naturally slow down for new players once they've had enough game reps. Thursday was their first real taste of how fast things can move at this level. I could see our new speed, strength and effort, it was visible, but the information processing was predictably a tick or two behind.
Go Colts!

Colts won a road game, in a hostile environment without these players. That says something to me, because there are some good players on this list!

...or not?
Hopefully, he's the best RT on the team.

Matthew Adams also had a nice almost-interception late in the game. Besides that one play, how did he do? I didn't catch the whole game.
Adams didn't stand out besides that play. It was a good play though.
Zaire Franklin made a number of very solid plays. Skai Moore looked very good out there and although I liked what I saw from Leonard, he had a number of gap assignment errors and bad angle misses in that game. Tyrell Adams and Jeremiah George also showed up on my review.
