Montori Hughes...bust?

[BlueShoe]

 Hughes already has more time and experience in THIS system than McKinney does. 

 

Maybe you should look up where McKinney played before the Colts signed him.

 

Or is that not common knowledge? It is hard to tell on message boards anymore.

What, where he played with the Ravens and Chargers before that? 6 starts in 61 games isn't screaming anything special. He's been replaced numerous times, and I don't see it being any different now.

41 games played though as a Raven, That's 41 games worth of game film, 12 while Pagano was a defensive coordinator..Not to mention he was around McKinney for 2 years on the Ravens staff prior prior to Pagano being hired as the D coordinator. The rest I agree, I think he played solid (Though I did not chart anything yet) but I need to see more consistency out of him to shed the block from the Center and make a play on the ball carrier coming up the middle otherwise I'd go with Kerr over Mckinney and I actually probably would anyway because of Kerrs ability play anywhere on our D line and any front

41 games played can be a VERY vague stat, especially for McKinney. It only takes one snap to register having been in the game. On top of that, he's yet to play a full season. Again, if he were dominant player, I would have no problem with his age and injury (Wilfork). McKinney happened to be a cheap, relevant, pick up because of, as you said, the Pagano ties but also because of the budget constraints the Colts were dealing with at the time. Had the Colts had half of the cap space they had in dead money in 2012, I  would have been been surprised if he were signed here in 2012.

Explain to me what you saw with McKinney. What I saw with Kerr is a guy who could consistently separate from both DE and NT spots track the ball well, He showed he could stand his ground in the run game, Now I did read from Kyle Rodriguez that Kerrs versatility may not be needed and that maybe just a Nose Tackle only player may be needed which McKinney can provide that...Though again why go with a player that can play 1 position...mediocre really to be honest over a versatile D Lineman, 340lb D Linemen that can move like Kerr are not as easy to find at NT's, I think if Kerr goes on the PS we lose him, Not a back breaking loss to be sure, That's not what Im saying but he has shown talent

 

I agree with you about Kerr, based on last night's game. He didn't play against starters, but he was very good in the run game and rushing the passer. No one could block him, from either spot he lined up at. If he continues to perform like that, it's hard to see him not making the final 53.
