I enjoyed this. Another high character guy. Underrated IMO. I’m interested to see if experience helps his pass coverage or if he will come off the field in 3rd and long situations.
I believe it will, he was better as the season went on!! An improved pass rush wouldn't hurt either!

I think its right!

I also don't agree with the article but there is some truths to it. Geathers and Hooker, are injury prone, Farley is coming off injury. If everyone is healthy great but its yet to be seen. I am much more comfortable with the CB population than the safety population. As far as Wilson, I personal like how he came along last year. Love his size, he plays well in games, he needs to be better ALL THE TIME in practice, if he wants to play!!

I expect Rock to start day 1 opposite Desir, with Moore in the slot. Rock looks that good. We have a complete secondary right now, and I believe someone will shine at CB, FS, and SS this year with everyone we have.
Wow slow your roll dude. I love Rock, wanted to draft him, but were have you seen him in the he Looks that good statement? I am not ready to just say he is a starting CB without at least seeing him in some pre season games. The NFL does have a learning curve.

I have been trying to sort through the DF deal and seeing what his actual cap hits are for this season. What I have found was that he pretty much has a 7 million dollar roster bonus plus his yearly salary. My question is, lets say that DF really does not do well in the camp and through the preseason but someone like Fountain really shines through. Knowing we are keeping TY, Cain (most likely), Campbell, and they seem extremely set on Rogers. That makes 4. I know they have hinted to maybe only keeping 4 this year but I can't see that, it has to be at least 5 if not 6. Under the scenario that we only keep 4 or even 5 and Rogers is a definite guy for the special teams play primarily, slot back up secondarily, and Fountain is clearly outplaying Funch, what is the cap hit if we cut him prior to making the 53 after preseason is complete?
I know it is far fetched and certainly not happening if that 7 million is his cap hit but I was looking for clarity on that part. Thanks, and this would certainly be a huuuuuge shocker if it did go down like this.
Stop worrying about it. There is a 0 chance of him getting cut IMO!

Leonard flies all over the field. So I think a guy that stays in his lanes like walker works best with Leonard. We keep hearing Bobby compared to Leonard. Well if you have two LB just buzzing around at the same time your going to get beat. I think Bobby will be a good backup to Leonard not someone who will take WAlkers place.
Agree Walker was VERY GOOD last year. Just saying!

Nice good for Andrew!

I think the Colts expected it. Nothing new here!

Cyprien, was a good player. Id be for it!

What numbers?
Like I stated, you're not going to pile up stats like INTs and Deflections when the other team avoids throwing the ball at you.
The numbers provided earlier already show him as the best at what he does. You can't improve upon being #1 at how often your zone is targeted and how often you allow receptions. If the trend continues, his INT and Deflection numbers might actually go down, but that wouldn't be a bad thing if it means QBs are avoiding his zone all the time.
Numbers compared to his first year. Look I don't DISAGREE with you. I watch safety play a great deal, as i was a D-1 safety myself. There are a lot of factors that go into Hookers zone targets. Who you play a lot ie our division is not a pass happy division by any sense of the word. The Colts are a light weight wise defense I think teams in general try to run against the Colts. I watched Hooker a lot last year, I think teams know he has ball hawking skills, but I NEVER got the oppion that teams avoided him either. I honestly expect him to be better this year based on defense familiarity and health.

I don't really know the coverage packages the Colts ran most of the time. But I doubt others have either before showering praise.
I believe he is ranked #1 in "deep ball preventions" because he is taking away the deep ball in only one half of the field, (his zone) not the deep ball in the entire field, (a bigger deep zone) like Ed Reed would be responsible for in the Pagano defense. (we changed schemes)
So the stat is irrelevant if it is not adjusted for safeties who are responsible for one half of the back half of the field, compared to safeties who are responsible for for the entire back half of the field.
I have read where we have not been able to use him for which he was drafted (cover 1?) because we don't have the other players available to let him roam the entire back half consistently.
Definitions:
Cover One is a man-to-man coverage for all the defensive backs except for one player (usually a safety) who is not assigned a man to cover but rather plays deep zone and reacts to the development of the play. In a traditional Cover 1, the free safety plays deep and all of the other defenders lock in man coverage to an assigned player for the duration of the play.
In traditional Cover 2 schemes the free safety (FS) and strong safety (SS) have deep responsibilities, each guarding half of the field. The NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears, and New York Giants run a variant of this defense called the Tampa 2.
You need to know if the stat accounts for safeties playing cover 2 or cover 1. Safeties who have limited targets in more plays in cover 1 are more impressive when speaking in terms of taking away the deep ball. Not to mention if the other players assigned coverages underneath (CBs, SSs, and LBs) stink, the QB will simply take the intermediate routes because of how bad those guys are, not because of how good the FS is. Which equals fewer targets/snap for the FS, even though the play of the FS had little to do with impacting the stat.
Hooker is good. I think he will be better this year a year removed from his knee injury. Really interested how he plays this year. His numbers are down IMO because of what you have stated SCHEME! I do think his numbers go up this year, due to familiarity with the defense, knee, and being able to practice now for the first time this early in the season, at this juncture. I think hes going to have a nice year if he doesn't get hurt.

His list is a good one. Luck if not top 5 he is close. Its like ice cream all flavors are good which is your preference. I don't think his list is a sleight to Luck its his oppion. Luck has to prove him wrong.

Also says that even the rookie Shak Taylor, plus Hairston and Milton are performing better at corner than Killings has.....
And although I like Milton as a special team guy, he is not a good CB IMO.

Hes on my list for the most underappreciated players on the team
Agree NEWSFLASH Walker was real good last year!!

You are not looking at the bigger picture.
Ballard is drafting for the future. Not if Sweat or Tillery are better than Banogu.
Chances are that 2nd round pick next year will be a higher pick than the Colts will have.
Besides, Sweat more than likely was ruled out over his medicals. That is the rumor anyway.
And Character as well.

Williams definitely the odd man out imo. I actually think Wilkins might still take thd spot over Ware. We shall see how camp turns out.
Good signing regardless. Competition everywhere.
This is ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE!!

Well if we weren't going to use him get something for him! I thought when he played he showed some promise. I lot of DL guys on the roster now though.

So what is he playing? Edge or one of the LB spots?
Edge IMO or a rush LB in sub package! I will be shocked if he sees any time at Lb regularly he’s there to rsh the passer

Maybe the trench guys he has now are better than what was available, in his mind?
The guy from from TCU and Mississippi state are listed as linebackers but they’re going to be Rush ends

Both Quincy Wilson and Kenny Moore are on notice, in my opinion, In case they become free agents after this year, One due to his contract and the other possibly if you cannot crack the starting lineup.
In the case of Quincy bad practice habits! I think EVERY DB on the roster. is on notice at this point!

I like the fact they only gave the two 4ths
Honestly you only gave up 1 4th rd pick
-
I don’t think he beats out walker I think he is our new cover LB on passing downs to start! fast, long arms, athletic, probably needs to add some strength. Like the pick and his skill is a weak point for the defense!

Fountain is looking good
in Colts Football

Fountain's, got a chance, but I thinks Pascal makes the team. When given opportunities he preformed pretty well and he has size!
