If Bethea has another 100 tackle season he's coming back next year. Which I was already expecting him to do especially since he actually has a good safety partner.

 

 Of course he won`t have a 100 tackles. And if he goes a third year in a row with no Int`s, I would Hope they say thanks but no thanks.

If Bethea racks up 100 tackles this season, something went seriously wrong with the defense. Landry could possibly get 100, although I don't think he should either, but he should be the ONLY guy in the secondary that even comes close to that number.

To be honest, he's going to have to show that he can be the ball-hawking FS we need him to be rather than a run of the mill tackler. This is Bethea's time to shine.

Well he had 100 last year cause he had to play in the box which isn't the right job for a FS. That pick Zibs had vs the Bills would've been Bethea had Zibs actually been good at his SS position but he wasn't so Bethea was in the box.

But all of that is in the past now, & I'm predicting a 3-5 interception season for Mr. Bethea this year

IF justified by performance this season, we'll need to sign DHB and Bradshaw to extensions due to short term contracts this season which will take a fair chunk of the money. and Bethea due to contract expiration. Would like for the majority of FA spending to be in the defensive backfield to provide star quality playmakers and safety depth because passing is the driving force for most offenses in NFL. Spend rest of money on player retention in order to allow team to develop greater cohesiveness and diversification. Let's use draft to seek 1st round WR or a superstud DE like JJ Watt and mid-draft picks for linemen and linebackers and late round picks to pick players whose skills fit Colts style of play or fill a very specific need .

This is nearly the exact same philosophy Polian used. I'm not so sure I'd like to see Grigson follow that same way of thinking.

      Practice Squad

      By CoachLite · Posted

      Never underestimate the role of the practice squad for preparing the team for an upcoming game. This give developmental players the opportunity to think like the opponent and learn the nuances of the game.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By CoachLite · Posted

      My concerns are less with the players than integrating the way the players we have with the strategies and tactics from some of our coaching - especially on defense. There are no perfect football teams, but you can develop strategies to beat any football team if your are smart enough and creative enough. This brings me to my concern: Are some of the coaches we have too dogmatic in doing things the way they've always been done? I guess we'll find out in a couple of months.

      My 2 cents, 4 counting inflation, on the O-Line...    While I agree with @CR91 regarding injury issues, I also agree with @NewColtsFan that the line is above average. Talk about straddling the fence, lol!  They both make valid points though.   LT: Raimann got a late start in college football due to mandatory military service in Austria. He played his first two seasons as a Tight End before being converted into a Tackle. So he was late in the game at LT coming out of college, 25 at the start of his rookie season. That could be either good or bad, meaning he has room to grow or he may be at his ceiling. I am of the belief he has room to ascend and will.   LG: Q isn't the player that the Colts drafted due to injuries, though he seemed to turn the corner last year. I am of the belief that he will continue to ascend to near All Pro status, though it is tempered.   C; Kelly bounced back last year from injuries, family issues, and concussions(yes, they could be considered injuries). I am of the belief that he will be one of the better Centers in the game this year, though Bortolini may be waiting in the wings.   RG: Fries is considered the "weak link" but played reasonably well last year. Another ascending year is very possible and most likely will price him out of the Colts plans in 2025, especially with Concalves and Bortolini as possible replacements.   RT: Smith showed a warriors heart playing injured last year and hopefully his offseason surgery corrected the issue. He has a 19+ million dollar cap hit next year, so there is extra incentive for him to perform to it and hopefully an extension.   Bench: Concalves and Bortolini come in with solid press clippings, and the ability to play more than one position, but have to show it at the pro level, I believe they will. Freeland was shown the baptism by fire treatment and had mixed results. Let's hope he learned from his mistakes and worked on his strength, as the Swing Tackle spot is up for grabs. I don't rule out a veteran FA to take that spot though, plus Witt is a relative unknown quantity due to missing his rookie campaign.    In conclusion, I could see a very good and deep Offensive Line, though injury and experience concerns are definitely something to be aware of.
