BProland85 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Defense, Defense, Defense!Use Free Agency to sure up the OL, then in the draft, go all defense. In particular, a dominant pass rusher is needed. Someone like Bjoern Werner would be great unless we are in position to get Star Lotulelei or Johnathon Hankins.

coltnorth Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 There really isn't an area where we are great other than QB and maybe linebacker. We really need better play from the front 3 on the d line, we need better play from the o line to give luck more time, we need much better play from our secondary, and we need our wr to be more sure handed (other than Wayne). I know people think our receiving core is great but they have dropped a lot of passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Moleman Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 We need to get Lotulelei, T'eo, Hankins, or Werner with our first rounder.Our front 7 desperately needs a talent infusion, and that includes the linebackers. If we pass on T'eo because of our current LB corps, we're fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weslo1812 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Agree!! We have to adress up front and we need another S because Zib has looked horrible.

UKColt13 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 We need:A running back who can actually run.A receiver who can actually catch.

#12 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Unless Luck improves his accuracy, these small WRs look like a bad match. He needs a big WR who can adjust and fight for the ball.That said, this team can use help anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funktacious2 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 If I recall we only put up 9 points. I'd say our offense needs some help too... particularly in the running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tark The Shark Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 We need help in the trenches on both sides of the ball.It all starts up front with the team.

manning04 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 We have to go OL in the draft this offseason with our 1st pick. We still have Mckinney and Chapman whom we have yet to see play. they both will make a big difference on the line. No one lets their top OLmen walk. so we have to get one in the Draft.

Warhorse Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 What we need is Angerer, Mathis, Redding and Davis to play and Dfree to be healed. That and put Shipley in at center. Then all this overreaction will somehow be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're more dominant run stuffers.That's my understanding of them at least.....That's accurate, although Star's got the kind of first step that should demand double teams on passing downs. They're the kinds of players that'll get you a handful of sacks a year, but wouldn't get to double digits. They're both bigger assets at stuffing the run. That's perfect for us, because pass rushers are useless if teams can run for 5 ypc on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslo1812 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 We need alot of help especially on Defense. We need a saftey, DE possibly A NT and an OLB. Now offensivley I dont think our line played horrible if you look at it. There were a number of times he had time to make the throw. Some of them no body was open. Jets seconday played well. And eventually If you have to wait long enough pressure is gonna come. We did have some break downs but overall they were not horrible from wbat I saw.

Malakai432 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I like how Luck admitted he played poorly, something Michael Vick would never do. Hopefully the O will clear some things up and look much better against a 1-4 Browns team. I am somewhat worried that battering ram Trent Richardson is going to give the Colts D fits though.Hopefully they can get it together and come out with a win at home next weekend.

Smitto Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Next year the colts should focus on defense and I think that's where they will focus.. get a good safety, NT, DE and sure up the offensive line as best as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysp Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 We need a D-line that can stop a run and an O-line (in general, but one that can run) and also special teams (one that return a kickoff past the 20). Also, I'd love to see a relatively healthy team after only 4 games, but I no longer expect that from the Colts.Luck will be OK, though he had a pretty bad day today. But I'm happy with his first 4 games as a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJACKCOLT Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Both lines have to be upgraded. Good offensive and defensive lines can make up for alot of deficiency at other positions.If we had a good O-line and D-line, even as young as we are, with the players we have right now, we would be a contender.

hoosiercoltsfan82 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Most importantly we need to improve along both lines. A defensive line that can collapse the pocket and close running lanes, and an offensive line that can give the QB time and open up running lanes is the most important thing a football team can have.

hoosiercoltsfan82 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Defensively I am looking at this year as a litmus test. Why? Because of the transition from a 4-3 base to a 3-4 base. I half expect that is what the Colts management and coaching staff has done as well and that is why we did not address defesive very much in the draft. They want to have a season to see who really fits in the 3-4 scheme and who does not, then they can fill the needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopenhagenColt Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 we need a ss really bad zbikowski has been awful. we have a nt in chapman just have to get healthy.Sure Chapman needs to get healthy, but the notion that this loss was down to Zibi is just plain stupid. Our defense doesn't blow because of Zibi, it just blows. We have average talent overall and without Freeney/Mathis firing on all cylinders we have zero elite players on the defensive side of the ball. Even players who are better than average (Vontae & Angerer) are out injured.Why isn't anyone on here hammering Bethea? He has been performing well below what we should be able to expect and is easily as much at fault as is Zibi for our defensive problems, if not even more,Today was just plain awful, attacking and defending.. This years Colts are a mediocre NFL team with a few top players/prospects, nothing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
