Robert Mathis has a message for Colts Fans

[TKnight24]

@RobertMathis98: I will say, my lil bro @BjoernWernerBTM is definitely going to make #ColtsNation proud b/c the kid is flat out playing good football.

And before the one person comes in saying "It's his teammate, he's gonna talk highly of him."

You can count on your fingers how many guys Mathis takes the time out to personally congratulate. He doesn't often do it

[Gavin]

I hope he does, He is playing faster this year and more self assured, Lets see if that happens when it counts

[ColtsLover4ever]

I have high expectations for Werner and the team in general, but I'm taking a wait and see attitude. 

[Warhorse]

Well, if that occurs....which is what I have though all along...I can just imagine......

 

 

 

47 whines = I half hearted guess I was wrong

 

 

Bring it!     Bjorn to be Wild!

[NewEra]

Have always loved the pick myself. Good to hear he's coming into his own. He's going to be a wrecking ball

[Gavin]

You dirty talker you! ;)

Wasn't so optimistic about him but he's looked so good in camp and preseason. It's not just that he looked good it's that he's looked much better at things he struggled at.

[ruksak]

[Shepman]

Well if you compare last year's effort and speed to this year it is a night and day difference. I felt he was lazy or out of shape last year, but he did have a couple nice pass deflections. This year he is looking much better in preseason.

He was neither

Maybe he was just playing a position for the first time in his life and was learning the ropes to it then got sidetracked by injury.

Just maybe

But what do I know? I'm just a 20yr old apple juice drinker

[bestQBever]

one thing I noticed in the 2 preseason games is that he is WAY faster than last year. Great expectations for him.

[BlueCollarColts]

I wonder if they will start Werner opposite Mathis if he plays well after the suspension is up? 

[Superman]

I really hope Mathis is right. Werner has looked good in preseason so far, and he's the best option to provide some pass rush while Mathis is out. 

[Superman]

I wonder if they will start Werner opposite Mathis if he plays well after the suspension is up? 

 

At the very least, they could get him out there in passing situations more often, improving on the pass rush Walden gives us in those situations. We've been dropping Werner into coverage a lot from the Rush spot in preseason, even on passing downs, so far in preseason. I wonder if that's to get him plenty of experience dropping back against pro competition. 

[ColtsBTM12]

He's showed obvious improvement in the preseason so far and I hope it carries over to the regular season, we're gonna need him to step up.

[twfish]

Mmmmmm apple juice, cheers buddy! Can just about count the months down on my hands if you know what I mean

I do not know for sure, but I seriously doubt that he was lazy and out of shape.

Andrew Luck probably told Robert Mathis to say that.

 

Those Berlin Boys [Luck & Werner] are a rowdy bunch when they throw back a few cold beers especially a good dark ale with 2 dots over the o's logo on the bottle. 

[southwest1]

Exactly WH, Werner looked decent to me last year & it takes at least 1 season to master an NFL playbook so you can stop over analyzing schemes & just react to what you see & fly to the football. 

 

Werner should take a big leap forward this year IMO. 

 

Okay TK24 pretty much said the same thing I did. "Maybe he was just playing a position for the first time in his life and was learning the ropes to it then got sidetracked by injury." 

 

My apologies for stealing your thunder there TK. I missed that line initially. My bad. LOL! Good point though. 

[SLILLINGTON10]

Training wheels are off for him with mathis out for 4 weeks. hope he produces.

[southwest1]

I hope he does, He is playing faster this year and more self assured, Lets see if that happens when it counts

I read ya Gavin, but I think Werner will make his presence known in November & December actually without a significant drop off or disappearing act. Yes, I know we all need to see the learning curve close for the better 1st. I agree 100%

[ProblChld32]

Simply put he has been making plays and putting alot of effort this off season. Cant wait to see him wreak havoc this season. 

[ProblChld32]

I wonder if they will start Werner opposite Mathis if he plays well after the suspension is up? 

 

im assuming they will

[HOZER]

Looking forward to seeing him wreak some havoc!

THE GERMINATOR WILL DESTROY YOU!

At the very least, they could get him out there in passing situations more often, improving on the pass rush Walden gives us in those situations. We've been dropping Werner into coverage a lot from the Rush spot in preseason, even on passing downs, so far in preseason. I wonder if that's to get him plenty of experience dropping back against pro competition.

He's even looked quite good in coverage so far in preseason, much better than I expected he'd be.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Looks good so far Honestly if he doesn't get hurt last year I think he would even be further along! Nice to hear Robert give him some love!

[Valpo2004]

It would seem like an obvious move to me to replace Walden with Werner if possible.

 

Mathis is here at least until after the 2015 season.  It would seem to me to be a bit of a waste of Werner's talents to have him ride the bench for 3 years as "Mathis's backup"

[Malakai432]

Lol now I feel like a good German beer.......

I know what you mean Malakai432.

 

Just don't drunk too much German beer or you'll end up passed out wearing some strange outfit with lederhosen wondering why in the hades it seemed like a good idea at the time buddy. LOL! 

 

[southwest1]

    Great saying there M Colts M! It's like the old Saturday Night Live skit about Hans & Frans mocking body building Champion Arnold Schwarzenegger. "We're gonna pump you up! Yawh!" 

 

Yes, I realize that Arnold is from Austria not Germany, but close enough. The joke still works in Luck & Werner's case man. 

[CanuckColtsFan]

I really think Werner will come into his own over time. I also think he'll get a sack or two in the first four games.

[HtownColt]

Werner was playing a 266lbs last year

He is listed at 257lbs now on colts.com, he put in some work in the offseason and it shows in all aspects of his game

[NewColtsFan]

If Werner has a good year this year,  I wonder how many Colts fans here,  who have been trashing Werner since the day we drafted him, will publicly admit here that they're wrong.....?

 

I wonder..................................................................?

[throwing BBZ]

I wonder if they will start Werner opposite Mathis if he plays well after the suspension is up? 

 

 Hopefully Mathis will be used more often as the pass rush specialist he has always been. That would mean FEWER 1st downs for those who don`t get it.

There's a higher chance the Dallas Cowboys will win a playoff game this year than for the Werner bashers to swallow their pride and admit their wrongness

[BPM_Colt]

Hopefully he comes into his own this year and produces (especially the first 4 games)

 

Looked lost to me at times last year, but I think we will see a big leap in Werner

[a06cc]

Robert is a great person. Response to his fans. Got a retweet reply from him a few times. Anyways I'm hoping Bjoern has a great season. He is working on his covering which was nice to see a slight improvement. He needs to finish plays though on pursuing the quarterback or running back. That's the only thing I seen that was off. You can tell he got stronger as well without losing speed. Imagine the possibilities with the OLB'ers once Rob comes back.

[OLD FAN MAN]

Well, if that occurs....which is what I have though all along...I can just imagine......
