greg toler interview


CR91

This signing has me scared the most, even more than the Walden signing. Toler is the player that we are relying on to keep Vaughn off of the field, much like we relied on Powers last year.

 

I am afraid that Toler-- much like Powers-- has been labled as injury proned. I hope I'm entirely wrong, but I'm very scared about this.

If Toler can be that guy to have a firm grasp at the No. 2 CB position than I think the secondary has a chance to be one of the team's strengths, if it can stay healthy.

 

Butler is very solid option in the Nickel and Vaughn should be in the mix as well for the third or fourth cornerback spot. Not a ton of depth at either corner or safety but I like the frontline guys.

i dont get why people are so scared of vaughn covering a team's third or fourth best wr. there are posters saying they rather have undrafted rookie cbs then vaughn. the guy isnt a shut down corner by any means, but hes still a decent enough player that he can play against a team's second tier wrs

You are scared that the people that support their families by making these decisions may have made a mistake? Or you are afraid that the people who get paid to determine weather C Vaughn should or shouldnt be on the team are wrong?

Both. I'm no GM, but after watching the Colts play last year I thought that the D-line, pass rush and defensive backs at times were our weakness. We've addressed our pass rush with Walden and Werner, possibly Sidbury, and our D-line with the addition of Jean-Francois, Franklin, and hopefully Chapman and McKinney coming back. We lost Powers who was often injured and replaced him with another often injured CB in Toler. So in my opinion, we haven't properly addressed this area of weakness. I'm glad we added Landry and Boyett at the safety positions, but I feel that we haven't done enough to address the CB position.

    • I have rewatched the play that he got injured on last Sunday and after which he started flopping around like a fish.  Or worse yet a soccer player who fell like he has just been shot after getting nicked by a finger.   Honestly if he gets hurt from a hit like that, which was nothing in terms of hard NFL hits, and has such a low pain tolerance that his over riding thought at the time is to drop, and NOT PROTECT, the football?   I don't think he will ever last in the NFL.  I mean his instinct was to release the ball and put his hand on his hip.   Being honest I only see players who only think of themselves do that type of thing.  I am not saying AR is selfish.  I just think he is made of glass and can't take pain.    Watch the hit.  He got hit kind of on the back/side by a guy who is much smaller and who didn't even deliver that big of a blow.  It was a hit that all football players face every game.   I am not to judge anyone about the amount of pain they feel when getting hit by an NFL player.  I am sure it hurts.  But it should be very obvious by now that his ability to be tough and his pain tolerance threshold is very very low compared to other NFL players.    Not to mention, KNOWING THIS, he refuses to slide and even said after the game that he will "do what he do".   Play football.  Not slide.    I am not encouraged. 
    • This is just wrong. Objectively wrong. Several tweets have been posted on this forum over the last weeks with statistics showing AR very clearly has a lot of potential whilst not playing like crap - despite the narrative some here want to push. Don't get me wrong - it's not been all sunshine and roses either, but his supporting cast was pretty % through the first 3 weeks for instance - AR was near top of the league in receiver drops.   Playing Flacco whilst AR is ready gives us nothing. NOTHING. It'll just be a wasted season and we've had more than enough of that in the Ballard era.
    • If you had asked me before this week I would have voted yes on being our starter in 3 years.  But after what he said?  I don't have any confidence that he will never learn to protect himself. 
    • Sam will either be the backup or emergency QB. I will be interested if AR backs Flacco up or is the emergency QB.  I bet AR is dressed as the emergency QB or the backup. It’s going to be interesting what they do.
    • Haha yeah.  One thing a player should never do......even give the slightest insult to the home fans.   The people that pay his salary.   "People gonna talk, that's what people do".   Well now he can talk on the couch like all the fans that he dissed.   When you have played a grand total of maybe 5 total games out of what...22 now?   He really just needs to shut up.  And oh, learn how to slide.
