He was one guy who stood out to me last night. He may not of had sexy numbers but for as big he is the guy is very explosive and has much quicker feet than I anticipated.

He's like a human wrecking ball and is always shoving his defender either backwards,to the side or keeping the push at a stalemate.

He's young and this was his first full year of playing since he missed his entire rookie season.

Keep improving and moving forward big guy.. He may very we'll be our Vince Wilfork of the future..

Yeah I like Chap too. But let's face it, when the QB starts scrambling, he is a liability. Too fat and slow to catch anyone. He needs to lose that big ol' belly and get into better shape or both knees will give out in a couple of years.

Clearly you didn't see him run down Smith in the KC game. The guy is a superb athlete

Chapman played ok at times but he's not creating double teams like NT's suppose to do. I still think we need a new starter at NT. Louis Nix would be great but he probably won't be there. Daniel Mccullers is 6'6 350 lbs could be there in the 3rd round. John Jenkins made a huge difference in the Saints run defense and Mccullers could do the same.

Seriously....give him time. He was a "rookie" this season! He will improve, get even stronger, and work on technique. Stop with the "we need so and so" FA crap. Chapman is developing nicely. He needs pieces around him on the line and some depth though

This is a huge myth, No NT will always draw a double team...Not a one...Its up to that NT to beat his man and for the ILB's behind him to be strong enough and use proper technique to get off blocks.....as well as not overpursuit....Because NT's will be blocked one on one alot more then people think no matter who they are...No NT in the game now or ever will always draw a double team......Jenkins made a difference cause he could consistently get off his block, separate and wrap up the ball carrier not because he always drew double teams

I got excited when he got deep and in Brady`s face.

His strength was supposedly off the charts at Bama.
Yes it will be interesting going forward what weight he chooses to play at.
 JMO but it looks like a double team might move him 2 yards but he maintains his shoulders forward extremely well and digs in.

Looks like a stud at doing his job.

Now we need Montori to come on strong in year two.

Vince Wilfork, Ngata consistently create double teams but i didn't say that a NT had to every play. Just not seeing the push from Chapman that i see from some of the top NT's. Good depth guy but i think we need a new NT.

17 times we gave up 4+ yards running

 

The other poster exaggerated, but the run fits were sound. Sloppy tackling was the reason we were giving up an extra 2-3 yards from time to time, but for the most part, we controlled the run game. Could have done better, but it wasn't that bad. They just wore us down, and then broke the big one.

There were several times in this game where pressure was applied and I saw #61 in Bradys face

and I thought it was Josh Chapman for some crazy reason, but it ended up being Jeris Pendleton.  I'm wondering if anyone here is giving some of the credit for Pendletons plays to Chapman when it was really Pendleton who

made the play.  I was a bit confused at times during the game!  Pendleton kind of intrigues me, seems he gets very good push on the pocket. Seems to be a pretty active player......

 

As a side note don't get me wrong, I like Chapman as well.

I've liked what I've seen so far from Pendleton considering I expected virtually nothing from him when he was signed.  However, what I've noticed is that he's primarily brought in when the Colts go to a 4 man front and Chapman has never been on the field in a 4 man front that I've seen.

 

 

So I don't know about other people but I have been able to distinguish between the 2 based on formations they usually play in...and of course they wear different numbers :P lol

      Bad clock management at the end of the game

      By Dingus McGirt · Posted

      A “fireable offense?”

      AR vs Bryce Young

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      It clearly isn’t all the line  in panthers land. Dalton had no issues. Young is small and meak. He gets swamped up. He isnt like Murray. If young had Murray’s body type he might be ok but he doesn’t. He looks like he don’t know what he is doing.

      Bad clock management at the end of the game

      By ColtAndOrioles · Posted

      That is so far my third biggest gripe with SS.  First being his offense seems very vanilla.  We are approaching Frank Reich status here.   Second I don't think AR is making as much progress as he should be.   Third he seems to make very poor in game decisions and then takes the blame as if that is a huge testament to his character.   I could care less about character.  Just learn how to coach.  And when the clock is at 2:01 and you have a kickoff coming against a team with 1 timeout left?  You run the ball out of the endzone and you literally scream at your special teamers or your special teams coach to do that.   The fact that he didn't literally tells me he is a stupid person when it comes to football IQ.

      Colts vs Bears post game thread

      What did you think of Luck after his first 7 games? How about Peyton Manning? Josh Allen? Richardson has a higher completion percentage (54.8) than Luck ( 49.5) and Allen ( 52.8) through his first 7 games. And less than 5% completion percentage behind Manning (59.5). Richardson has more Yards per throw (7.4) than any of them (Manning 7.1, Allen 6.8 and Luck 6.5) . Richardson has a higher QB rating (72.7) than Manning (71.8) and Luck (65.9), and less than 4% points behind Allen (76.3). Sure..... Allen is the exception that proves the rule.... ok. Richardson's accuracy is the type of throws that CAN be fixed. Those short and intermediate throws are easier to fix than the deeper routes. And oh by the way, it's not like we havent seen him do it. He had a darned near 60% completion percentage last year in the games he played as a pure rookie. The guy is coming off of season ending surgery and had no offseason and you are writing him off..... give me a break.

      AR vs Bryce Young

      By jimmy g · Posted

      Today AR is ahead, but he wasn’t when they were picked. Young WAS far more accurate in College. And he led a team to a National Championship.  That has to mean something.
