Cory Redding

[oldunclemark]

I thouhgt he was just an average player..maybe slightly better

..and that may be true..or not

But in watching the NFL Net replay of the game....Redding is the verbal leader of the defense

He's talking it up and channelling Ray Lewis with inspirational words...

Very good pickup by R. Grigson

[TKnight24]

Veteran player from the 3-4 Defense, he's supposed to be the Leader.

Zbikowski was supposed to be a Leader too, but I'm not quite sure what happened in that Process

Not to say that Grigson had nothing to do with it.... but, as I recall the story that both Redding and Pagano tell... right after Pagano got the job the 1st call he made was to Redding..... saying, "Cory, I need you, come to Indianapolis." And Redding said that was all he needed to hear.

Again, I'm sure Grigson was highly involved, but the first step seems to have been from Pags....

[Nobody]

Redding is a top 3-4 end in the league.

Our 'D' leaders are Mathis and Freeney...all-rpros but they arent talkers like Redding

I would not call him a top end in the league..that's a stretch...

But I certainly respect his leadership and NCF...you may be right....it could have been Pagano that got him here.

he spoke very highly of him.

....any way he got here....we need him now with 3 top defenders out........

i think what makes redding a good player is hes versatile. he can play a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT. his second sack was in the DT position. hughes had the pressure on the edge forcing rodgers right into redding. when was the last time we can say we got pressure from our DT.

Is it out of bounds to say, best FA acquisition we've had in the past 15 years?

I'll let you know Sunday night after he tries to lay his mighty swift sword on Tim Tebow

Booger McFarland during the super bowl run might have something to say about that.

2nd best to Reggie Wayne. I think most of us had come to terms with Wayne being a goner.

[ColtsLegacy]

Booger McFarland during the super bowl run might have something to say about that.

No he wouldn't considering we traded for him.

[RomanianColtsFan]

He got fined by NFL this week, unsportsmanlike conduct, but I am not sure what he did.

@mchappell51: #colts DE cory redding confirms nfl hit him with fine -- in the $7,800 range -- for his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty vs. packers

That was a trade though, not a FA.

[Boiler_Colt]

Well, yeah, not counting re-signing our own guys.

[ColtsLegacy]

He hit Benson a little late on the play he got injured. It was pretty weak but I can understand the personal foul call. I don't agree with the fine, however, but it doesn't surprise me coming from Goodell.

[ColtsLegacy]

Well, yeah, not counting re-signing our own guys.

Yeah, I understand. I say it more in jest considering most of us had already written Reggie off.

[oldunclemark]

@mchappell51: #colts DE cory redding confirms nfl hit him with fine -- in the $7,800 range -- for his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty vs. packers

Irsay will gladly pay that

[JoKeR]

He kinda head butted Benson a split second after he was tackled, it looked very avoidable. It looked like he was making sure Benson was down but there was no question he was down, the head butt didn't seem malicious, it looked like their helmets touched as Redding pushed down on Bensons torso.

[JoKeR]

Yeah, I understand. I say it more in jest considering most of us had already written Reggie off.

Really, didn't think he'd leave, he's played those offseason twitter games before. At the end of the day, Reggie is a Colt and comes to work. Kudos on the creative answer though.

The combo of him and Booger, made McDonalds and Burger King very rich

[Gavin]

Im not sure Simon fit the Tampa 2 we were running

[DarkHorseColts]

I liked Simon OK in 2005. Not so much after that.

I like Redding a lot more than I thought I would.

[ruksak]

His big mouth seemed to irritate several teammates. There is a difference between a leader and some guy with a giant mouth. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have a guy that's stepping up to light a fire....but he has to pick and choose the time for this, and from what I saw that mouth just runs on a constant.

I honestly felt this move was highly underrated. Cory Redding has been a beast in the 3-4.

hit to head of Benson

[DoomOf21]

Adam Vinatieri is easily the best free agent pickup we've had in the past ten years. Anyone remember the playoff game at Baltimore? Five field goals, either tying or breaking an NFL playoff record?

I liked Simon OK in 2005. Not so much after that. He had a career ending injury/condition, therefore me and all the other Colts fans (excluding DoomOf21 and Tmack) will forget about his contributions and consider him an afterthought.

Concerning Corey Simon: He was a big factor of the best defense the Colts have had in decades.

"I'm Robert Mathis and I had 11.5 sacks in 2005."

Corey Simons best year with the Colts isn't even as good as Mookies best year as a Colt

The portion in red was your addition to my original quote, I never said that, nor is it what I meant.

Looking back at my post, I can see where it might be misinterpreted.

I was speaking strictly to my perception of his on-field performance, which is the same as yours above: the '05 Colts D was very good due in large part to Simon.

Helmet to helmet on the play Benson was injured. (unrelated to helmet hit)

Apologies, I thought it was pretty standard to insert comments into a quote when there was multiple quotes used to address a specific point. My comment was concerning the idea that a lot of fans have that he had a run of the mill football injury or just played poorly. In fact he had a career ending condition that cut his time playing football short.

[PrincetonTiger]

What about Rickey Proehl?

[PrincetonTiger]

Cory was a great pickup

2 sacks against GB

Why on earth would you have ever thought this?

[Coltswarriors]

Redding was by far the best addition to this team during the offseason (not counting the draft of course).

He's been playing lights out and he's been a tremendous leader.

It's all good. It was a fly-by post by me & I didn't take the time to be precise in what I meant. Takes 2 to tango.

Back on topic...

He's been playing lights out and he's been a tremendous leader.

I underestimated his play and way underestimated his leadership. Dude has charisma.

[Douzer]

I really like Redding too. Like Mathis & Freeney, Redding is "bringing it" every week. Like those two, he knows the difference between "wanting: to get some and "going" to get some.

Go Colts! Get Some!
