It is often in the 3rd or 4th year a developed player is finally plugged in for a quality 8-10 year vet.

Check out how 5th rd DP Arthur Jones did replacing Cory Redding. Kruger for Jarrett Johnson.

 A few young Colts that I thought showed some real promise.

Clifton Geathers

Lawrence Guy

Mario Harvey

Justin Hickman

 

I liked what little I've seen of Guy, I hope he makes the roster again this season. However everytime I hear his name I get this in my head:

My apologies have wrong kid,the one they interviewed just coming out this year

Ahh, that makes more sense. Anderson probably couldn't get an interview if his mother owned the NFL Channel.

I still have hopes for the kid, he was a good player pre injury.

Honestly, most 340 pound offensive linemen are no stronger than their 290-310 pound counterparts.  They may be harder to move in some respects but the extra size comes with some major downsides.  Very few players become more effective at their job when they get that big and it's likely in his best interest to drop 20+ pounds.

 

People get too hyped up about size sometimes.  Size by itself means virtually nothing.

I think people see guys like Leonard Davis or Ted Washington have dominant spells and want someone like that, or even Ngata. Of course, it's much easier to get to that weight than play like those guys.

The NFL has successfully imported the Samoan athletes into the sport....I think it's time for the Sumo wrestlers.

The bigger guy may still be at a disadvantage if his weight is distributed differently than the smaller guy. I'll take a 6'2", 290 pound guard over a 6'6", 340 pound guard any day and twice on Sundays assuming all other things are equal. Why? The shorter guy (very likely) has a lower center of mass which helps tremendously in the battle for leverage that blocking entails. The bigger guy has more reach which is also helpful but in a far more situational manner because interior offensive linemen don't have to cover very much space like a tackle would.

Also if the strength is the same then the littler guy is going to be quicker in the open field than the bigger guy which is extremely advantageous when it comes to getting up to the second level of a defense and taking LBs or DBs out of the play. Keeping that extra 50 pounds in motion is taxing on athletic performance.

Yeah that's true also. Give me the short fire hydrant built guy. Quad and core strength is huge. That's the thing. There are so many variables. Just give me the better player! Heh, that sounds better.

Don't forget Tongans. Both Ngata and his cousin Moala are Tongan.

 

But I believe the Samoans have the largest ratio or NFL players to Samoan population in the world.

      2024 NFL Season -- Week #4 All Around the NFL game discussion

      By Dunk · Posted

      Thanks for the good wishes. I wish the same for your Vikings. Tough division game for them.   Mixed feelings on our QB. I can't deny Anthony is an amazing athlete, and he's shown flashes of what he can be. Some really wow throws, but misses some lay-up tosses. Seems very intelligent, and wants to win. I'm sure he's like most young Qb's trying to get used to  the speed and talent of NFL Defenses, and maybe being coached to stay in the pocket and not run as much as he did is giving him some trouble. I think 7 games is too few to tell how good or bad he might be eventually. I just hope he can keep healthy, and keep improving.

      Next Defensive Coordinator

      Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.

      You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.

      What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields.

      I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs.
