COLTS449 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 There are better options than him, but at least this shows we are interested in an ILB. I was worried we would go with Muamba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip!You can`t always get what you wantBut if you try sometimes well you just might findYou get what you need. He may be the best available to US when it gets down and dirty. Go Colts!

Boiler_Colt Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I would think McNary would get the nod over Muamba. McNary was pretty good in the Nickel last year. If for some reason we were to sign Jackson, I would think McNary would still be the Nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think it would be wise to assume he's our guy. I wasn't assuming he's our guy, as I am aware that ILB is a need this offseason. If Grigs' idea is to bring in D'Qwell in a leadership role; then okay. But I think we give Muamba and McNary a shot. IMO it's our secondary first, ILB 2nd, then some DL rotation for our defensive offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgt_rob Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I liked what I saw from McNary but haven't watched D'Qwell at all. I'm assuming he's a big upgrade over Kavell and Pat? Any opinions on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarassedOffTheSite Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 @MikeWellsNFL 31sOne note about LB D'Qwell Jackson is that he was upset when the Browns fired Chudzinski as coach.

I would think McNary would get the nod over Muamba. McNary was pretty good in the Nickel last year. If for some reason we were to sign Jackson, I would think McNary would still be the Nickel. I think McNary and Muamba both have a lot of potential, but both are still a bit raw (it is probably too early for me to say that about Muamba, but I think it's safe to assume he is a work-in-progress). Jackson is 30 years old, and has had a very solid career up to this point. Coach Chud will be able to give our FO a good assessment of Jackson -- I would be very happy if we signed him to a 2 year contract and had him play a mentor role for McNary and Muamba while they learn to harness their potential.

Archer Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've got McNary starting next to Freeman, with Muamba as the #3 guy. Sheppard is the #4 guy that I'd be trying to improve upon (or force off the roster). None of this spells "dire need" to me at ILB. However, I'd be open to D'Quell Jackson or a late-round guy to improve depth. (We also love to keep extra ILBs for ST.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiler_Colt Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Pagano should know him from his time with the Ravens too. From what I've heard from Browns fans is that he's gone slightly downhill the past two years but used to be a great player for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNary is a heck of a blitz package guy.. I say keep his legs fresh and bring him down on certain blitz packages.. Jackson is a every down type of player..

Not to mention Angerer hasn't actually been healthy the last couple years, Conner only has 1 year of decent production as well, Really when it comes down to it not real good production actually , I believe the position we would get the best out of him is as OLB, He was very productive in that role in college, excellent blitzer from that spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
