    Latest NFL.com 3 round Mock has us taking

    in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

    Posted

    I like Thomas a lot, I'm just not sure how he fits in our defense, as BCoop said above.

     

    I'm also not sold on Cunningham. Just watch a Reuben Foster video, then watch a ZC video. ZC is NOT a good tackler, every tackle is an arm tackle. He gets in position to make a play, but then just tries to latch on and drag the guy down. Foster arrives at the ball carrier with bad intentions and explodes through him to make the tackle. 

     

    I think Mixon in the 3rd is smart. Lots of teams probably waiting til the 4th or so to take a pick on a guy with his issues, but if we do the same thing then chances are he's gone when he pick. He is worth picking up in the third.

    D'Qwell on Cromartie / Bosa

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I'm pretty surprised at the number of people here who think Jackson should have just said "no comment" or something similar regarding Joey Bosa. He was asked a question, and he answered it. Not only that, he prefaced his answer with something to the effect of him not knowing all the details of the situation. Do you really want every player to turn into Chuck Pagano and "coach speak" their way out of every question? It reminds me of how politicians answer questions, and it makes the whole interview pointless. D'Qwell answered a question that he was asked, gave his perspective as a 10 year veteran of the league, didn't say anything personally offensive to Bosa, and I thought he conducted himself quite respectably. Is everyone really this sensitive nowadays? 

    How could we pass on Whitehair in the 2nd round?

    in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

    I have to agree. Would have loved Whitehair in the 2nd to put next to Allen, or even a few other players that were still on the board. Maybe they feel comfortable with who we currently have at guard. Obviously they see something in Green, it just seems like a strange pick considering what was available. As I understand they were pretty excited about landing the guy, hopefully it works out for the best

    Colts Hosting Another Workout With Reggie Ragland

    in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

    Posted

    I don't follow college football that closely, so I'm far from an expert, but from what I've seen Ragland looks like a D'qwell Jackson clone. Great instincts against the run and stuffs attempts up the middle, but lacks the speed to track down outside runs and is a big liability in coverage. I don't really see how anyone could say otherwise when watching the film... And for the record, that play against Henry that everyone is talking about, was actually called PI against Ragland. 

    Buffalo Could Be In For A Surprise...with The Rest Of The Nfl Taking Note.

    exactly their offense will be based of the play action of their run game if we're blitzing they have no receivers outside of Sammy that would get open for a quick pass and even Sammy won't be able to being that if Vontae is allowed to shadow him he's locked up

     

    Is it really that hard to use punctuation? Your posts are borderline incomprehensible on first read. Each post is just one massive run-on sentence

    Coby Fleener leaving his mark

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I don't think fleener's problem is that he's physically not big/strong enough, I think it's that he plays soft. I usually don't like that term, but in his case it's pretty accurate. For as large of a man as he is, he seems afraid of contact. When's the last time you saw fleener run over a defender? Or truck a defender in run blocking? Or even aggressively win a jump ball? (In before someone posts a gif of the rare occasion he may do this type of thing, I'm speaking generally) I dunno, maybe that's why he's healthy and Allen isn't. I think he could have a lot of production if he started playing more like a tight end instead of a wide receiver. He has improved the drops though, I'm definitely glad about that.

    Colts' future not as bright as it seems

    in Colts Football

    Wow, peytonmanning18 sure derailed this thread. I think he needs to spend less time looking at boxscores and more time watching colts football, because he's made himself look foolish several (being kind) times in this thread with poorly formed, inaccurate opinions. Not to mention arguing like a gradeschooler... 

     

    Anyway, I think Clayton made a mistake in choosing teams to compare us with. Mainly because the  panthers, bears, giants, falcons, and saints (they may be an exception, but brees came into new orleans as a veteran) do not have quarterbacks remotely near Luck's level, especially considering he has only been in the NFL for THREE YEARS and continues to consistently improve. He did make some valid (if not obvious) points, obviously we need to draft well in the future, as does every team. But I believe that Luck, like Manning, will have us in contention every year. True, it's unlikely we will be able to sign free agents of the caliber that we did this off season in the future, but how many teams can say that they will either? I think a considerable part of the reason why we were able to obtain multiple pro-bowl level veterans is BECAUSE we have Andrew Luck. Obviously that is not a sustainable solution, so yeah, draft well... not exactly a profound revelation from Clayton there.

    Your top-10 power rankings

    ^ You seem to have forgotten the packers, which is strange considering your avatar 

     

    Also you have some highly questionable picks there... Falcons at #3? Giants at 4? Cowboys not even listed? I like that you tried to explain your picks, but I very much disagree with your rankings. But hey, that's what this thread is about, right? 

     

    And I think some people in this thread aren't considering that some of these teams (including us) have made significant changes over the off-season. 

    the colts have now been in indianapolis longer than in baltimore

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    There is really nothing to get over. As a Baltimore fan, its tough what happened, but history is history. The first chapter of this history occurred in Baltimore, and it was a very fine history. All the records will say Baltimore/Indianapolis, like the 2-2 Super Bowl record. Irsay has the records, but the old events still happened in Baltimore. 

     

    To me, its phase 1 Baltimore Colts/Phase 2 Baltimore Ravens. Those who have a straight line from Baltimore to Indy, to each his own. I personally enjoy talking about the old Baltimore Colts, answering any questions people have on the Ravens, or commenting on current Indy Colt topics, as an AFC rival. Like I said, whether they have been in Indy or Baltimore longer is pretty irrelevant now, because I think both cities have had a good run of NFL football success. 

     

    I like your perspective on the situation as a Ravens fan, it does seem silly to be upset about something that happened over 30 years ago. But don't you think the fans who still harbor resentment (or straight up anger) towards the Colts are being extremely hypocritical? Considering that Baltimore basically "stole" a franchise from Cleveland, and they seem to have no problem with that. I'm sure those fans are few and far between now, but it was not that long ago that your scoreboard had the home team labelled as "Ravens" and the away team labelled as "Indy".   

    dorsett and moncrief are the future of the colts

    in Colts Football

    Don't forget about TY. TY Hilton, Phillip Dorsett, Donte Moncrief, and Duron Carter are the future of the Colts. Moncrief will be Julio Jones esk. Dorsett - Desean Jackson esk, and TY will be. Well TY.

     

    esque

     

    not "esk" 

     

    lol

     

    And I'm not sure why this board seems ready to give up on TY just because we now have another small, speedy WR. He's the only WR we have that's proven anything on this team. And I'm one of the few that actually liked the Dorsett pick...

    J. Freeman wants NEW CONTRACT, skips workouts

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I can understand he's a bit older and is trying to get a pay check, but after last season I really don't think he's in a position to demand much of anything. Not effective at all at run defense. Pass defense is better but I'm not totally convinced. I want to like the guy, but he just gets washed out in most running plays. I'm not a huge DQ fan, but at least the guy has a nose for the ball and can stop a run play solo. Not to mention our abysmal ability to cover the middle of the field last year partly lies on Freeman (along with the rest of our LB and safety corps). I don't get real into the finances/cap situation, but I'd rather not invest too heavily in him right now. Don't get me wrong, his first season here was pretty impressive. I just didn't see much last season out of him. I do think he has potential to be a decent player (as we've seen), and maybe improving the D-line and safety play will help our LB's look better.
