    See, that's what I don't get. The consensus here is that our defense needs to get younger and faster, because being old and slow is actually causing us to lose games. If old and slow loses games, then young and fast should help to win games, no?

    Nope. Good players win games, a mixture of young and old. People just fall for tropes and such. Plenty of "slow" (not sub 4.3-4.4 40 time) players at every skill position that are much better than their faster counterparts. I'd take someone who actually knows what he's doing and knows the position he's playing than some scrub who has good speed and physical measurables.

    Rookie mistakes aside, Green was far and away the fastest player on the defense, and provided some of the best pass rush out of everyone when they sent him on blitzes. That's an easy thing to overlook considering he was really raw in pretty much every other aspect of his game, but definitely something to build on.

    I actually think Geathers looked faster. Not that it matters because fast doesn't win us or anyone else games 

  3. He didn't look like he learned at all last year.  And got worse as the year went on.  Let's hope he put something together thus off season because I don't think I can handle having to replace a safety just 1 year after we took one with a second round pick.

     

    Not to mention our other safety is apparently made of glass so there's no telling how he'll end up this year. 

     

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if TJ Green is one of those guys that gets casually cut a few years into his career.  Maybe we could make him a pr/kr?

    As far as we know, which isn't much at all.

    I think you'd struggle to find any free agent signing without interest or visits linked via twitter in this day and age (2017). So he's probably right.

    And Poe is automatically a better playmaker than say, Anderson? I don't buy that, not if Anderson is healthy.

    If you're going to assume Anderson is playing fully healthy and to the best of his abilities then we have to assume Poe is as well.

     

    In that case, Poe is a much bigger playmaker than Henry Anderson lol

    I've posted the same thing about Ballard.     He should know Ballard depth.

     

    The only reason for all my posts is to calm down those who think we're giving Poe a 5-year deal at more than 10 Mill per with a big guarantee.     I don't see that happening.

     

    I'd like the Colts to sign Poe if he's healthy.      I'll take a deal for 1 or 2 or 3 years,  but not more.

     

    And yes,   I do trust Ballard. 

     

     

    I wasn't referring to you with that part of my reply. Just the other people who keep repeating the same thing as if no else can read the other 50 replies stating the same reasoning. I trust Ballard too and think he will at the very least make our defense look competent with talent alone next year. It's up to Monachino to coach their level of play up

    I think that a lot of people are discrediting Mingo for what he has or has not been able to do these last two seasons. Prior to last season no one on this forum would admit to being comfortable with Jack Doyle being our starting TE.

     

    Why?

     

    It's simple, due to what he has shown in previous seasons. My point is this, there is a reason we signed him, rather that be ST or not, he will get his opportunity to rush the passer. He's an OLB and that is what OLB's do. 

     

    Keep in mind that he has the physical assets to do the job. What's missing?

     

    I think Monachino will have fun figuring that out. 

    If you actually read between the lines last year you could see that Doyle was putting it together actually. I for one could tell he'd be a solid player and easily starting caliber with a QB like Andrew Luck to boost his level of play.

    I understand that....    that's not hard to say....

     

    But you're the guy talking about 5 years and 70+ million...

     

    I'm simply saying that's not happening because there's no reason for that to happen.

     

     

     

    I'm pretty sure half the posts in this thread are something to the tune of "I trust Ballard to know firsthand if Poe's back is an issue, etc. etc." 

    We get it people. You can connect the dots between Ballard being a Chiefs front office guy and Poe being an ex-player.... christ. lol

     

    I really hope you're right NCF but I got a bad feeling about this. Hopefully Ballard doesn't make that mistake. I'd be happy with a 2-3 year deal. Usually good DTs continue being good into their 30's so we'll get a good look at how he holds up over 3 years and make the determination from there.

    Yes a solid ROTATION. You don't have more than two positions for OLB. We signed Sheard to be an OLB for our 3-4. There are two OLB in a 3-4. Therefore, all 3 of them can not play different positions. and don't forget we have ayers on the roster. We have our two starters in Sheard and Simon as of now. I assume Mingo would rotate behind Sheard at the Edge and Ayers would rotate at the SAM with Simon. 4 people is a rotation. You don't usually play third string much in a game. I think we will draft one and that will make Ayers or Mingo expendable. But that will just make for a better rotation. 

    Well mingo has 0 sacks the past two years playing 32 games and can't set an edge so I'd assume he's just going to be special teams.  I don't think he'll he part of the rotation.

    It's really not insane... you have three stud running backs in this draft and a deep defensive draft.  I'd rather take a stud running back and draft some good defensive players in the 2nd-4th rounds.  Running back could be the key to a top 10 offense.  We've never had a running back people have to fear taking it to the house. It's why our play action game isn't very effective.

    It really is insane. How can you look at our defense with a straight face and say that you're okay taking a damn runningback in the first over a difference making shutdown corner, a versatile Middle Linebacker, or a potential pass rushing beast? Hell, I'd even go for a Defensive Tackle too.

    It's crazy to see people overlook these things for such an overvalued position. Look at how good the scheme can make a runningback look, or just look at the Pats. They don't need a top 5 runningback to wreck opponents in big games year after year. 

  10. I think it's disingenuous to use a 2 year time frame to make them seem comparable. Bottom line is both were in a contract year, one performed very well and would have even been even better if he didn't miss a few games. While the other folded and didn't produce. He even was said to "freelance" in a team coached by Belichick so that says something imo.  

    Also the guy makes it seem like it's double the contract but that is nonsense. We're all smart enough on this forum to do basic math. Perry is making 12 mil a year avg over 5 years where as Sheard is making ~8 mil avg over 3 years. That's a pretty significant difference (1.5x the money vs 2.0x the money). I'd have gladly paid that for a guy who's proven to be an elite qb rusher in his prime vs a guy who declined in all numbers across the board/has never shown signs of being a 1A or elite pass rusher in his prime. 

    I'm not stupid either, I realize we would have had to offer slightly more money to get Perry than what GB offered. I also know that interest has to be mutual between Colts and Perry. I'm not saying we could've or should've signed him.

     

    I am just saying this comparison is not good reporting and tries to make it seem like their differences are negligibly for the money increase.

    Luck was under pressure,  forced the ball.   They should have run it.   But the past is just that.    Allen will be great in New England if he stays healthy

    I agree. I personally don't see him having any drop problems. Weather it be him being more focussed naturally or a product of NE's "training".. I think he'll be a stud

    Sack numbers can be misleading. How many of those sacks were coverage sacks? I would say Sheard and Simon are capable of getting coverage sacks. Not to mention he was bad against the run.

    Looking at our current secondary I don't see much potential for coverage sacks... V. Davis who we hope returns to being good, nobody at cb2 as of now, the oft injured Geathers and a literal madden creation with no coverage ability whatsoever in Green. We're in a rough spot there lol 

  13. I'd rather have splurged and gotten Perry for the price of Sheard and Simon.

     

    But i'll go on record as saying that I really do like Simon and have always wanted those high motor chip players for us. I don't at all like Sheard at that price or at all really but I hope Pagano can coach him better than Belichick did.

    Isn't Ad Hominem. It's my argument against someone saying I'm making things up when there have clearly been people upset about what we spent on him, rather than being happy we have someone at a good price that is an immediate upgrade over any LB we've had recently.

     

    I can't take anyone seriously who quotes him.

    Sure it is m8. You're straight up not acknowledging his post and attacking the person rather than is content. All because of a Grigson quote.

    He had 8 the year before and he has been in the league 6 years he has had 5 or more sacks every year but one.

    Can't really judge a player on something he did 2 seasons ago. He's in his prime and should be just as good as ever. It's worrying that he slowly lost playtime and lacked the discipline with silly Billy
