    You just never know what's going to happen with injuries before the final cuts to open up room in places where there was no room. Hopefully Campbell can win the punt return job and maybe they let Fountain return kicks. I dont think he could be any worse than Pascal at it.

     

    I'd like to see Fountain make the squad.

     

    Hilton

    Campbell

    Funchess

    Cain

    Fountain

     

    We plan on running the ball more consistently this year so we need those big bodies to block at WR.

     

    Or maybe we can go with the idea of putting Cain on PUP for the first half of the season.  In that case:

     

    Hilton

    Campbell 

    Funchess 

    Rogers

    Fountain

     

    Cain on the pup come back completely healthy i like it

    Not if fountain can’t return kicks or play special teams. Now that could change If camlbell can return kicks. Somewhere Rogers or Pascall is almost guaranteed to make it because of kick offs and punt returns.

     

    chesters not even a difference maker on returns... if fountain let alone anyone can catch a punt or kickoff they can fill the role

    I don't see any way he ends up with more than 4 TDs, I mean TY only averages a few more than that on 100+ targets. Plus, Funchess is huge and obviously Ebron will be targeted in the endzone. I think the plays he scores on are 15-20+ yards out. 

     

    3 receiving 

    2 rushing 

    1 return

    No, since I've never claimed he was bad at his job.  I've said that given the circumstances, I don't know how good he is.  I've explained this several times in this thread, and all threads about Hooker I comment in.  Why do you pretend to not understand the difference?

     

    bro wanna be right so bad lol it’s sickening. He’s a safety playing en a cover 2 scheme. That en itself is his protection. it’s literally begging the opposition to do everything else but throw it deep.

     

    When Hooker starts making plays like Eddie Jackson call me. For now he’s iight

    False.

     

    The Colts defense consistently ranked very well in numerous categories under Dungy.

     

    Yards Allowed:  2002 (ranked 8th his first year), 2003 (11th), 2005 (11th), 2007 (3rd), 2008 (11th)

    Points Allowed:  2002 (7th), 2005 (2nd), 2007 (1st), 2008 (7th)

    Takeaways:  2003 (12th), 2004 (3rd), 2005 (7th), 2007 (2nd), 2008 (13th)

    Passing Yards:  2002 (2nd), 2003 (5th), 2006 (2nd), 2007 (2nd), 2008 (6th)

    Passing TDs:  2002 (9th), 2003 (9th), 2005 (6th), 2006 (5th), 2007 (2nd), 2008 (1st)

     

    As you can see, the Colts defense made significant improvement in Dungys' first season as the HC, ranking in the top-10 in Yds, Pts, Pass Yds, and Pass TDs.

     

    The Colts consistently had a top-10 pass defense in a passing league.

     

    In 2007 alone, the Colts defense ranked top-10 in ten different statistical categories and top-5 in seven of those, AND had the Defensive Player of the Year in Bob Sanders.

     

    During Dungys' tenure, the Colts defense ranked in the top-10 in a statistical category 38 times, and top-5 19 times.

     

    That is the opposite of trash.  :hat:

     

    numbers dnt tell the whole story of greenery and mathis didn’t get get to the qb teams did whatever they wanted to us. teams started controlling the whole game based off dominating our D through the air and ground. the texans bootlegged us too death. i watched games.  

     

    take me up for dungy all you want but if we had such a good d and o where are the championships. gimme those numbers.

    You're entitled to any opinion you want,  but in my 7 years here,  you might be the first person I've seen blame Dungy....

     

    Most blame Polian for focusing too much on offense and not nearly enough on defense.    You had two HoF talents in Freeney and Mathis,  but everyone else was just a nice complimentary piece.  Even Bob Sanders only played in less than 50 percent of the possible games...

     

    The second person people blame is Peyton himself.    As you know he had a very poor track record of playoff performances for 8 years leading up to his first Super Bowl.

     

    And the third person people blame...    mostly on general principle and, well,  just because,  is Ryan Grigson!    He's also responsible for the stock market crash of 1929 and the kidnapping of the Lindberg baby.      

     

    But if you want to blame Dungy,  you go right ahead....    have fun with that one!

     

     

    you use words like blame 8ts not that deep for me. it’s sports entertainment. As a man attaching your success/failure to another mans ability is a weak characteristic.

     

    Belichek is the bar whether yu like him or not he wins. Dungy is trash en comparison as far as a football mind and overall coach. Bill doesn’t make excuses. Yu win or yu lose, why doesnt matter.

     

    Yu don’t win 3 straight SBs w a dungy bc the mindset doesn’t dictate ruthless consistency.

     

    Everybody played at part en that sham y’all deem the peak of colts football. Peyton was a golden boy his fans don’t hold accountable, but you see across the nfl landscape media and other fan bases Peyton will never be the Goat bc time and time again he lost when it mattered most. Dungy and Caldwell might as be the same man and Polian isn’t w out fault his approach to facilitating talent left the colts hollow. 

     

    Ballard is the best thing to EVER come to indianapolis.

     

    His demeanor is Belichekian. if yu don’t produce or met the standard, you’re gone w no second thoughts. The rest of Colts nation will finally see what a team looks like. 

     

    i’m ending this here bc i am my own man as all of yu should be and to highlight your opinion w the validation of another is weak.

    If I read you correctly...   Tony Dungy added NOTHING to the Colts.    And that’s your....    opinion?!?   

     

    Holy Cow!!

     

    Well...    there’s always someone.   Always one in every crowd... 

     

    And I thought I had read it all here...

     

    Shaking My Damn Head....         :facepalm:

     

    his forte was defense our defense was trash. We had peyton Manning and got to 1 SB w dungy if that’s not underwhelming idk what yu think success is lol

    Oh B'S! First of all there is no one who could have been the HC under Manning who would not have been called over rated. No matter who it was the fans would say he got whatever the accolade is because of Manning. 2nd of all there is a pretty good difference between the type of QB Peyton was under Dungy vs a mediocre guy like Jim Mora. Peyton matured a lot under Dungy and turned the ball over less. Our teams were always well prepared and disciplined under Dungy.  And Dungy made the right calls during the games. I dont care who our coach was. It's very easy when you have Peyton and some of the guys we had to say the coach was over rated. He got the Hall of Fame for his entire body of work which stretched all the way back to his days as a DC in Minnesota, his work in Tampa, and Indy.

     

    yu must’ve missed where i stated idc to debate

    That's ridiculous. The GM is almost always the boss of the HC. Every team has an established chain of command. That's just the way things work. 

     

    grigson was paganos boss ohh. frank and ballard dnt share a vision and work together ohh.

    A GM that micromanages the HC is Ryan Grigson... A GM is only as good as the HC he hires. It is absolutely a partnership in today's world. Very rarely does a GM keep his job longterm if the HC he hired doesn't pan out... 

     

    they just want to argue and not see reality. Dnt waste your time.

    I’ll always believe that Dungy wanted a Colts defense equal to his Tampa Bay defense but Polian and Manning wanted offense.  If We had that kind of defense we would have won multiple SBs. So blame Polian instead.

     

    a head coach and his gm work together if one has power over the other then the weaker individual shouldn’t be here anyway

    The first part of the "read" is to identify what defensive formation the defense is in. Next, read the "tells" of what certain players intend to do at the snap. Three, take advantage of what you expect the defense to do, given 1 and 2. We either need to mix up the initial look, or provide unpredictable transitions from any identifiable look (i.e Cover 3). If you keep the opposing offense guessing what will happen at the snap, you've probably already won. We've never had this luxury before due to lack of talent.

     

    Watching the "plain" Cover 2 (Tampa) during the Dungy years was very frustrating to me. I thought it was a "bend, don't win" strategy, and the weakest part of the Colts play.

     

    reason why dungy was and is overrated. He was our mike tomlin

    Ballard doesn't think Willis is too far off from Abrams. He thinks he was one of the last remaining elite safeties on the board according to the Colts standards.  My eyes usually see what Ballard sees but on this one I'm just keeping an open mind.  I'm going to wait till the pads get on and I can see him live.

     

    measurables between willis and abrams are extremely close willlis weighs like 10 more bounds i believe

    Video is an excellent visual on how Ballard suggests Banogu will start his career...I share your excitement that we would invest a premium pick in a player intended to be used with such versatility!

     

    There is a snap of him playing LEO as a rookie at 3:08 and one more after that, but the other snaps with his hand down are as a nickel rusher in tandem with Clemons or Avril.

     

    everytime you see seattle en a bear front w irvin as the 4th rusher en a wide alignment is Irvin en his Leo role i don’t get what you don’t get
