Smonroe Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Did he look a bit tentative? Even on the INT, it looked like he was beat but made a great recovery. I think he'll be fine and is an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPM_Colt Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Played well. Like his size. Pretty good CB duo in Davis and Toler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarColts Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Greg Toler had a pretty good game to me outside of his PI call, he made a great recovery to get the INT, and he was never really "beat" on the play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Superman Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Toler looked great. He got beat a few times but on those plays Eli Manning had all day to throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smonroe Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Toler looked great.He got beat a few times but on those plays Eli Manning had all day to throw. Yeah, that's probably what I was seeing. Eli had a lot of time on most plays. I don't think he ever threw at Davis as far as I can remember.

schwamm Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yeah, that's probably what I was seeing. Eli had a lot of time on most plays. I don't think he ever threw at Davis as far as I can remember. there was one to Nicks in the first quarter where Manning had all day, and Davis got beat, but I didn't see any others.

Hoosiernsavga Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really like our top three cb's in Davis, Toler, and Butler. We are horrible past that hopefully those guys can stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danfish98 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thought he was up and down a little but he'll be the best #2 corner we've had in a LONG time. I agree that if he, Davis, and Butler can stay healthy the secondary should be much improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really like our top three cb's in Davis, Toler, and Butler. We are horrible past that hopefully those guys can stay healthy. Yep, me too. I am a bit scared of the cheap shots Pete Carroll and his Seahawks fellas can subject us to. Golden Tate and the other WRs do cut blocks and go low on CBs all the time during run plays. Jim Harbaugh does not coach that way, however. It was really amazing though, what Dungy endured with Jeff Fisher's dirty Titans and JDR's dirty Jags. There was more than a fair share of chippiness and the Colts' mental fortitude saw us through so many years of those. My admiration for Dungy does go up when I see how many things were done the right way in hindsight, though the playoff wins disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgww Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I thought he played well. And that PI call was total nonsense. Both Toler and Bethea were playing the ball. Very ticky tack...typical of today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamLoloJones Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Toler will get better, he seemed to be getting beat off the line, and out of breaks, but his closing speed was remarkable.

MB-ColtsFan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'll go back and re-watch the first half later. It looked like he was getting picked on to me.That's what went through my mind. I think they threw to Davis' side once and then they started pickling on Toler after that.He looked to be playing off at first but later started pressing more. Great read on the pick. He had a pretty solid game tonight.Butler also looked good in flashes. Overall, not a bad game by the Corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcosys Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wow, that is so petty and irrelevant.I have to agree with BOTT on this one.

Thats like saying, meh Ariel Castro worked hard and seemed like a cool guy, who cares he kindnapped 3 lil girls and held them for 10 years. Not really. Those two things are about as similar as the Pacific Ocean and the local fishing hole. Yeah, both are bodies of water, but.... Castro is clearly guilty of heinous wrongdoing (I'm the biggest "innocent until" guy around, but it's pretty obvious what's going on there). Cable was accused, never charged, tried nor convicted. Some of the accusations were strange, and one of the women who supposedly was accusing him later released a statement saying she never accused him and the accusations weren't true. Also, the comment being responded to wasn't about the Seahawks offensive line, or their offensive line coach. I'm not trying to start anything, and I apologize for derailing the thread, but I think the comment was out of place, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja'Crispy Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm watching it right now. Had to record it while I was at the Sabbath concert...anyway...Davis is looking pretty much like a shutdown CB right now. Toler is definitely getting picked on. I agree with some of the concerns, but he isn't giving up any big plays. A lot of slants and quick stuff as well as throws in which Eli has a lot of time.

Davis is Revis-like (you just don't throw it at him)Toler is Cromartie-like (almost pretends to get beat so the qb throws it and he jumps it) Now Davis and Toler are no where near the talent level of Revis-Cromartie, but the style of play seems very similar at this stage...just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis certainly is not Revis, but in our CB pairing he is definitely the guy that won't be thrown at much. I just haven't seen Toler enough, here or in AZ, to predict what he will be like. I think the two of them have the potential to be a scary combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycolt1 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I thought the DBs played pretty good myself. It was their first game together and it does take time for these guys to gel. They will get coached up and study some tape and more than likely play better with more reps. We cant forget who they were playing. The Giants are a very good team. There are times when they make defenses look bad. All in all I thought the Colts played pretty good considering what went down last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova! Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Toler looked great today. I don't think he got beat on the INT, he had the right angle to cover any route the receiver would make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKColt13 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm on the fence with him atm. I need to see a little more consistency from him in man cover situations before I label him as a great pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonMcG Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I am not aware of how he was instructed to play, but I believed us to play press-man the majority of the time. If that is the case then he was indeed playing far too loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be fine and is an upgrade. I think he did get beat for a split second on the INT but immediately rectified it and made a great recovery. I thought he was good overall tonight. One of the positives i took away anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittywerb Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think seeing as Manning had a lot of time to throw, I think Toler played well enough. You can only ask a DB to stick a WR for but so long. That INT was also beautiful. I liked what I seen from our DB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsfanatic24 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 He played well throughout the game, did get beat on one play but showed great closing speed and picked off Eli. Toler is at his best when he's just playing man coverage, he's not a press CB like Vontae Davis. I also thought Davis played great this game Eli rarely looked his way and Butler was good in coverage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgww Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We'll get a better feel once the season starts, when we're giving more than vanilla looks on D, and Landry is back there striking fear into hearts of WRs/TEs. The whole package should look pretty good, things looked a lot better last night in a preseason game where a few defensive starters were missing and we weren't going to show anything exotic on D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it may have been "catchable" because it was in teh same zip code, but for all intents and purposes, it wasn't a catchable ball...by anyone.
