Colts sign LB Andy Studebaker

That's the ONLY difference?  LOL!

 

I agree, there are talented players from the lower division schools.  Very few from D3 though, probably less than a dozen in the NFL.  And we may have the best one. 

 

What I still don't understand about Studebaker is how the Jags cut him.   Apparently his cut didn't even make a ripple of news and was expected.  Could have been scheme.

 

Heck, he may not even be active and will probably just play STs if he is.  At this point, I'm confidence that Grigs knows how to improve the bottom of the roster with the best of them.

 

Pierre Garcon (Remember me?), Redkins, D3 - Mount Union

 

London Fletcher, Redskins, D3 - John Carroll

 

Fred Jackson, Bills, D3 - Coe 

 

 

I'd say they're all slightly better than Studebaker. I get your point, though.

I was taking about Freeman!

As long as when he is in the game (if he gets in the game) he dont rush upfield 10-15 yards before the running back even gets the ball leaving a massive hole then I'd say he is an improvement against the run, sacks are nice but they are utterly useless if a running back can gain those yards right back by running right at the same guy that put them in a hole to begin with (Mathis)

I wonder if he's another one of these "beasts" that either gets cut or traded within 2 weeks.

Someone might as well start the thread now about being mad Grigson cut/traded him.

It happened for the first Q...       then?

 

Missed tackles maybe but Colts were there.   The former administration would have "did what they did"..  

 

And got toasted.

    • Only if Sheldon isn’t available.  
    • Yeah, Ebukam almost looks clumsy next to Latu. He's just so fluid.
    • Did Hou actually get that much better? This really does remain to be seen. I am of the opinion that the signing of Diggs is a signing that has been made about 2 years too late. He won't be bad, but he isn't a top 10 WR in the NFL anymore. I wouldn't put him as any more dangerous that Pittman, so WR's are a push. We have the better RB, Mixon is great and all, but he is not JT. We have the better Oline, and it isn't even close. TE's are a push, we have a lot of upside, but until it is realised im very "meh" on our TEs. QB - I would argue that Stroud is probably more likely to regress to the mean in year 2 vs improve. That rookie season of his was a bit silly, and they had an easier schedule last season too. If he really does build on last year and get even better, then our entire discourse here is probably irrelevant as we will have another Mahomes level QB on our hands to deal with in the AFC and within the AFC South no less. So unless Richardson is also a Mahomes level talent in that scenario, we are done for anyways. To me, our success in this coming season comes down to 2 groups on this entire team. 1. The QB (because... duh) 2. Our DBs. If we even get average play from the DBs, I think this team has the ability to win the whole damned thing (supposing Richardson stays healthy and is what we all hope he is). I would also argue that Houston are paper thin. If they lose a OL starter, Mixon or even one of their starting WRs.... they have a very big drop off. And injuries happen in the NFL. Just sayin...
    • If he wasn’t fast enough or athletic enough anymore for linebacker, then he’s not going to be able to cut it at Safety where speed , quickness, athleticism are even more important.    Wish it wasn’t so….
