    Luck Retires/ The timing of it all... (merge)

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    This is horrendous. We're going to be stuck in purgatory with no shot at any top QBs. OL is finally good, just in time for this. With our luck it'll be back to bad once we actually have another QB. This sets us back a half decade if we're lucky, decades if not. This is the most painful news in Colts history, counting Peyton's retirement.

    Dropped an interception.

     

    Thats about it. Not terrible. Hasn’t really done anything all year besides miss a bunch of tackles. Hopefully that will change next year.

    This isn’t true at all lol. Last I checked a couple weeks ago, PFF had him with an elite tackling grade and having allowed 3 receptions all season. He’s not been tested and he’s been very good in run defense.

    I live in PA so I rarely get the chance to see the Colts televised much during the season. I'm curious to know what your guy's opinions are about Anthony Walker Jr as a started playing next to Darius Leonard. I don't hear too much about him but he seems to quietly having himself a solid year. I always liked the pick and thought Walker showed flashes of being a solid starter for us down the line when he was drafted. Do you think Walker is our starter of the future or someone you think we can make an upgrade over?

     

    - Bill.

    Lowkey leader of the defense, flies around the field with his athleticism. Him and Leonard could both legitimately be captains next year. Needs to refine the coverage and clean up the missed tackles though, I would like to add another good LB this offseason but wonder if Ballard has it low on the priorities list.

    Running Back

    Mack has honestly been better than I thought he was, but would really be a better change of pace guy. Love Hines’ electric ability and Wilkins is a smooth runner. But a guy to really be the leader of this backfield, IMO, is still needed. LeVeon, Tevin Coleman, there’s some good backs set to be available, and a lot more good ones in the draft. I wonder if we might use one of our seconds on one if we really love him.

    Nice clip!  

     

    Horrible soundtrack...

    If you don't like contemporary music, pop/rap/remix kind of things, you are never going to like a highlight video's music. Just annoys me we have to deal with this comment every time a highlight video is posted. Not trying to single you out here though.

    Nicknames

    Malik Hooker- The Ball Hook? Captain Hook?

     

    Quincy Wilson- There's gotta be something there with him being a CB (who put guys on islands) named Wilson (as in Castaway). Can't think of it. QDub itself sounds pretty good.

     

    Tarell Basham- easy, Bash 'em!

     

    Zach Banner is the easiest, Hulk or Bruce.

     

    Marlon Mack- Mack Attack? Mack truck? lots of options here

     

    Grover Stewart- The Muppet Monster. I don't know, gotta be a size/athleticism kind of thing.

     

    Nate Hairston- Might be the hardest because he's so new to the position. "The Natural" if he takes to it right away? 

     

    Anthony Walker Jr- already was called "The Franchise" at NU. 

     

     

    Who is the best player in the NFL at each position?

    in NFL General

    QB: Aaron Rodgers

     

    RB: LeVeon Bell

     

    WR: Antonio Brown

     

    TE: Gronk when healthy, Delanie Walker otherwise?

     

    OT: Joe Thomas

     

    OG: Kelechi Osemele

     

    C: Alex Mack? Not sure.

     

    NT: Snacks

     

    DT: JJ Watt when healthy, Aaron Donald otherwise

     

    Edge rusher: Khalil Mack and Von Miller are neck and neck

     

    Linebacker- Luke Kuechly 

     

    CB: Chris Harris Jr.

     

    FS: Eric Weddle

     

    SS: Harrison Smith

     

    Just a quick list I threw together

    Playing sports/football was invaluable for me as a kid. We already coddle kids more than necessary, and my kids (if I have any) will play contact sports if they want. It was too fun and good for me for me to deny them because I'm scared of something unlikely happening.

    Will there ever be a unanimous GOAT?

    in NFL General

    Posted

    Well obviously it's impossible for a true unanimous GOAT but it's possible for almost everyone to agree, like MJ in the NBA (and LeBron isn't on his level to me but that's an argument for elsewhere.) That said if Jerry Rice or LT (my two top non QB players ever) aren't even in GOAT discussions, I don't think it'll ever be a non-QB. I could see lots of people agreeing Tommy boy is the GOAT because the media says so but for various reasons he'll likely never be in the running for that to me.

     

    TL;DR- kinda

    Thumping linebackers always have fun highlights but there are real issues there in coverage for Bostic. Maybe he surprises and is a 2 down starter but that's his ceiling IMO, and I don't think he makes the 53.

    Ballard seems to like experienced OL

    I think thats the case with most OL that get drafted at all. Players, no matter the position, get knocked all the time for lack of experience.  I think its more of a coincidence at this point - at least I would say there isnt enough evidence as it pertains to OL. Hooker had one year. Hairston had 2 years total as a CB (he was a WR converted to CB). We'll see over time.

    Maybe it is the case with most drafted linemen, but I think my post is a pretty strong case for it being more than a coincidence. I didn't pick and choose guys, literally everyone in this list going back to 2013 played all 4 years.

    Hello again friends! I noticed this coincidence yesterday and considered writing something up about it.

     

    Draft pick Zach Banner started his final 3 years at USC after being injured as a freshman, 27 starts.

    UDFA Deyshawn Bond started all 4 years for borderline power 5 school Cincinnati.

    UDFA Chris Mullen started 49(!!!) games at Rutgers.

    Even physical freak UDFA Jerry Ugokwe started 42 straight games at William & Mary.

     

    Going back to his days in KC- they took one OL in 2016 (Parker Ehringer) and he was a 4 year starter. In 2014 they took Mitch Morse, who started his last three years after being a key backup as a freshman, and Zach Fulton who started 40 games for Tennessee. Plus Eric Fisher first overall in 2013 (played all 4 years at CMU). Couldn't find start data for Eric Kush from Cal (PA) or Laurent Duvernay-Tardif from McGill. 

     

    It seems a bit too deep to be coincidence. May be something to keep in mind for future drafts as to who we may be more or less high on.

     

     

    What to do with TJ Green

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I think TJ could play SS if he reaches his potential. As for what to do with him, all we can do is try to develop him and put him in positions to show what he has and succeed. No need to move on from him before his rookie contract is up, and if he still hasn't shown us anything, whether it be at SS, nickel, or even FS as a backup, then let him go.

    Who's your starting defense?

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    DE: Henry Anderson

    NT: Jon Hankins

    DE: Kendall Langford

    OLB: Simon

    ILB1: Spence

    ILB2: Edwin Jackson? most interesting position battle to me

    OLB: Sheard

    CB1: Vontae

    CB2: Quincy Wilson

    Nickel: Butler/Hairston

    FS: Hooker

    SS: Geathers

     

    I should say that I expect some significant growing pains for the young secondary members who are getting so much playing time, but it's better than veterans sucking.
