    Please no major injuries! That said, our tackling has been awful. A change is needed. In a league of parody, we should emulate the seahawks in how they coach tackling. A few years ago, there was a video of how "progressive" their coaches are when it came to preaching a "tackling strike zone". 

    The the type tackling Seattle teaches is called "rugby style". Urban Meyer has adopted this at OSU.

     

    Interestingly, Malik Hooker''s tackling using the rugby style was criticized by scouts prior to the draft.

    Now I think you're trolling me. His record means nothing when we can't beat the Pats, Steelers, and Raiders. Show me where Pagano has beat them and I'll take you seriously. Until then, we have no shot. That is a fact that is irrelevant. The real fact is he gets destroyed by the teams who matter, the teams who we have to beat to get to the SB. Talk to me again when Pagano has a competitive game vs the Pats. Talk to me again when we beat the Steelers or Raiders. Pagano can take his winning record and shove it, because he can't beat anyone who matters. The AFC Championship game was the one time in 5 years he had a favorable schedule in the playoffs. He then went on to get annihilated by the Pats. Add the Steelers and Raiders and you have an impossible scenario to make the SB. Again, his record means nothing when he loses to the PATS, STEELERS and RAIDERS EVERY TIME. 

    Look at the strength of those teams' rosters vs. the Colts. If a Chevy Volt couldn't win the Indy 500, would you blame the driver?

    What to do with TJ Green

    A lot depends on what the coaches want to do with Butler. He is our best nickel CB IMO. Will the coaches want him to swing back and forth between nickel CB and safety depending on down, distance and offensive personnel? Seems reasonable to me.

     

    With all the young DBs it might be tough to get get all of them the reps that they need to best sort the various roles out. But that is what the coaches are paid to figure out. I wish them well.

    Pagano is supposed to be a DB whisperer so this could be a perfect draft for him to show what he can do too.

    I hope Pagano has a few whispers of help for TJ Green as well. TJ was brought in for his unique traits. He needs a lot of development.

    Should Conley still be on the colts board

    First, I would 99.9% guarantee he was high on the Colts board. Second, as big as a Buckeyes fan that I am, and as much as I would love to have him on the Colts, the risk is just way too much. Ballard would be made to look a fool, to take him early, and then everything come back on Conley. Having said that, I would bet money that everything comes back in favor of Conley, and nothing happened between him and the female. The term "gold digger" is prominent for a reason, and a guy getting ready to score millions is an easy target to a lot of young women. 

     

    I remember my grandfather all through high-school, and up to the point I was going to play in college, saying for me to leave women alone as they were going to do nothing but cause me trouble. I still laugh about it today, because for the most part I listened to him back then, but to see all this crazy crap going on now, it's probably what I will tell my kids at that time in their lives.

    Far too early to draw conclusions. Generalities don't predict specific cases.

    It's a big game of cat and mouse, you want to get your top ranked guy on the big board, but as low as possible depending on where you think you can get him. A lot of this has to do with who you can trade down with, and if the teams in the middle of those picks have a need for the guy you want. Denver sounds like a popular team we could trade down with (from pick #15-#20). The question is, could Lamp fall to 20 as well? Would there be a good backup option if he didn't? We don't even know the first 14 picks yet, so there's little to no information to base this off of. Depending on who's left (Christian McCaffrey), I'd make a trade offer, but you don't know until the time comes. There's also a thread I'm going to make with a poll about this type of situation to see what people would do.

    If there are more than one or two players left that would make Ballard happy, it would make trading down more tolerable (and likely).

    Ted Monachino - Defensive Changes

    According to Football Outsiders defensive efficiency ratings, Colts were the 2nd worst team in the NFL at covering RBs in the passing game.

    No surprise there. I expect TE coverage across the middle was near the bottom too. Losing Freeman hurt. DQJ and Morrison were horrible.
