dgambill Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Our corners were not the problem yesterday. Also we don't go up against a pro bowl caliber qb and wr combo every week. Outside of Andre Johnson we are in a pretty weak division. The corners will be fine. Even great teams have issues stopping Marshall. Now that he has a decent qb he is very very dangerous.

dgambill Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 People will laugh when I say this but don't sleep on Locker and britt and Gabert and Blackmon in years to come.Well Britt has to make it on the field my friend....I'm not sure he can do that....and Blackmon isn't any cleaner. I will say both show improvement and we will have quite a tough division in a couple years but this year....those two passing attacks don't worry me....at least not nearly as much as some others we face. All I was saying is that this combo we faced yesterday...was one of the best we will face this year. Not that we may fair any better with others but Minny, Miami, Buffalo, Jets, Cleveland, JAX, Tenn none of those have as fierce a #1 wr or top 15 qb. Now...GB, Det, NE, Houston we better improve against lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldunclemark Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I thought outside of his good tackling, he was pretty poor in his coverage.Am I the only one who thought this? Powers played awful, but Davis was just meh to me.He was covering B. Marshall..who is Godzilla out there......I dont think our coverage was bad....we just didnt have any rush and we had physical mismatches....

smittywerb Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 May be the best two word post ever....love the positive spin!! LOL, ya know. You can't really say much. He came over 2 weeks ago and his first game is against a top 10 WR. What did people expect him to do? I think people got caught up in the fact that we had a new type of player on our team (and a good one) and expected a lot out of him. He'll adjust, and once he does, he'll be almost lights out.

BleedBlu8792 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It wasn't until they started sitting in zone that the DB's started getting picked on. Powers had his hands full, and even though Marshall took advantage of his size, Powers did a good job of shadowing. Both Davis and Powers' tackling were good as well. Davis had some darn good open field tackles on Forte that I've seen many DB's and LB's just outright miss. They played well I thought given the circumstances. Once there was no pass rush they were on their own and I they held on the best they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltsfanatic24 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 vontae played well vs marshall it was powers who cutler was targeting. except for one long play at the end vontae held his own vs bears. cutler started 1-12 int but once freeney was hurt he had a lot of time to throw the ball because they doubled mathis.

Gavin Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 we had pass rush after Freeney went down, as a matter of fact we got a sack by Mathis and some pressures by Redding and up the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProblChld32 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I Personally Think Davis played well, you have to remember that he is two weeks in to this Defense, it takes time for the Defense too create chemistry. I was extremely happy with Powers performance yesterday, IMO he played better than Davis did. The one player i am worried about is King, besides the one play he made in the deep thirds on Marshall his performance was terrible to say the least.

Coltswarriors Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Honestly, besides the play he got burned on by Jeffery I thought he played well.The Marshall TD he couldn't do anything about. Just great pass/route.He's only been here a short time he still has learning to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turner46992 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We have to go 1 day at a time with this team, The defense is a whole new defense compared to last year, yeah they had practice to get it down and 4 preseason games. but this is the first full game the team has played. Id give it a few more weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BProland85 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I cant really fault Davis too much for this game. He has only been here 2 weeks or so, and we had NO pass rush in this game.Pass rush has got to get better, and Davis and Powers will look much better once that happens. Plus Davis just needs a little more time getting coached under Pagano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSO Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Just imagine if King or Vaughn was playing in place of Davis, then we would be screaming about drafting a corner lol. Even on the play where he got beat by Alshon, Bethea should have helped. The open field tackle on Forte was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixfive Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Here we go again trying to find a player to blame. So why not Davis, come on people he is one player, I watched the whole game and Davis was never truly burnt by Marshall our any other receiver. Davis made a couple of good tackles. It was a team effort on this lose. The front four was not getting any push so that makes the secondaries job hard. So with that being said lets get off of this guys back. Since he came to the team people on this board have been looking for some reason to ride him. Davis is a good corner aggressive something that the Colts have not had in a longtime. Give him break, Go Colts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
