Davis was two near interceptions away from an all-time playoff performance at the cornerback position. He wasn’t downgraded once when targeted and was only dinged for a holding penalty late in the second quarter. Davis completely shut down the right side of the field. Targeted 11 times, he yielded five catches for 21 yards and added three passes defended and four stops. Davis’ grade is the highest we’ve ever given out to a cornerback in the postseason and the fifth best in the last eight seasons

Interesting note on run D

Outside linebackers Bjoern Werner and Jonathan Newsome both rank in the Top 10 at the position as run stoppers, with Run Stop Percentages (RSP) of 7.6 and 7.4, respectively. Nose tackle Josh Chapman had a +4.2 grade against the run, and was strongest  in the second-half of the season. Similarly inside linebacker D’Qwell Jackson found his best form later in the year, with a +7.2 run

Who said Newsome can't play the run.

Very nice to hear. Davis did an incredible job, as did Butler. Nice fact about Newsome as it seemed like he wasn't that great against the run, he can definitely do it all. At least Werner is stopping the run, next year will be the deciding year for him. Dqwell has been underrated this year IMO. We'll need a similar defensive effort Sunday against the Pats.

does anyone know who the dolphins got with that secound round pick we traded to them?

Jamar Taylor, CB started three games this year and was put on IR. He had 3 tackles last year. They were expecting a pick in the 30's considering how bad the Colts were at the time, instead they got a pick in the mid 50's.

 

the conditional 6th round pick never came to fruition for the Dolphins because Vontae missed 6 games thus played less than 65% of defensive snaps.

Looks like he wasn't IR'd until after week 16. And he started weeks 11, 12, and 16.

My friend is trying to tell me bc Vontae played 1 less game due to his concussion that Sherman is still better, despite Vontae giving up the same completions, being thrown to more, half yard less average per catch, same INTs, one TD for sherman vs none for Vontae, vontae's longest was 30 yards, sherman's 60, and more passes defensed. he just got snubbed for all pro because he's not as obnoxious as sherman

      Early look at end of season 2024 offensive lineman free agents

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Colt's end of season OL Free Agents  OC Ryan Kelly OG Will Fries OC Danny Pinter OG Wesley French - RFA RG Jack Anderson LG Arlington Hambright - RFA RT Lewis Kidd - ERFA LG Josh Sills - RFA   NFL Market OL Free Agents:  LT Jackson Carman (Bengals)  LT Andrus Peat (Raiders) LT Andre Dillard (Packers) LT Walker Little (Jaguars)  LT Jaylon Moore (49ers)  LG Ben Bartch (49ers) LT/LG Saahdiq Charles (Titans)  LG Kayode Awosika (Lions) - RFA LG Nick Leverett (Patriots) OC Drew Dalman (Atlanta) OC/LG Trystan Colon (Cardinals) OC/LG Bradley Bozeman (Chargers)  OC/RT Robert Hainsey (TB Bucs)  RG/OC Nate Herbig (Steelers) RG Daniel Brunskill (Titans)  LG/RG Chandler Brewer (Jaguars) LG/RG Michael Jordan (Patriots) RT Jake Curhan (Bears) LT/RT Larry Borom (Bears)  LT/RT Chuma Edoga (Cowboys) RT Calvin Anderson (Patriots)    A few from the above mentioned wouldn't mind targeting after this season: Dalman (Atlanta) – in 2023 finished 6th best OL in zone with an 82.3 PFF grade.  Atlanta ran the most zone concepts of any team in regular season (315) where Dalman excelled earning a 90.9 run-blocking grade. Hainsey (TB Bucs) - best fit is inside zone run scheme Anderson (Patriots) – with Denver used to playing in a zone-blocking scheme Moore (49ers) – 3-year starter at Western Michigan’s shotgun, zone-based run scheme Carman (Bengals) – good fit in a zone scheme Bozeman (Chargers) – move to OC seen an improvement Brunskill (Titans) - solid backup with starter potential in his 30's Little (Jaguars) – good at reach blocking and outside zone   2025 OL Free Agents: - quick shoutout LG Isaac Seumalo (Steelers) – 2025 FA solid starter for years but the team draft Mason McCormick to be new starter in 2024 also be 32 years old in 2025.  Q. Nelson good until 2026 and will be 30 years old.  Starting guard in a zone scheme ideal. RT Thayer Munford (Raiders) – 2025 FA playing well – trade? Munford in 2022 on 432 run plays, 335 or 77. Percent were zone runs where he earned the third highest grade among the conference’s tackles with a 79.5 mark (Ohio State’s zone-heavy run scheme).  Braden Smith's contract set to expire.  Munford key replacement as an option. RT John Ojukwu (Titans) – 2024 ERFA 2025 FA? – best long-term position might be inside as a zone blocking guard.  A five-year starter for Boise State’s run heavy (60-40 run-pass) RPO based offense.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By OhioColt · Posted

      It's not just drop percentages.  The Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.  Adonai Mitchell during his Combine forty reached top speed overall at 23.84 mph.  Even Pierce had been clocked running 19.82 mph which is impressive for a man his size.  Downs unfortunately wasn't able to find a good metric on but did clock a respectable Combine forty time.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Welcome back.   After taking a month off, you’ve returned.   I’m not sure where to start, so let’s try the night the Colts drafted Mitchell.  Late that night, you and another high profile Ballard-Hater had this conversation:  That you didn’t like CBs defense of Mitchell.  His big speech.  Why?  Because you guys agreed that “Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy or not.”   Your words.     When my chin came off the floor and my eyes back in my head I thought this:   Why would you OR the fans of any team ever think that what a GM shares on draft night is all he knows?   Because it isn’t.  A GM is sharing all that he wants to share, nothing more.  But what he doesn’t share is much, much more than what he does share.  Think an iceberg;  10 percent above water,  90 percent below.   A GM knows far more than he ever shares.    And now you make this argument….   If Mitchell doesn’t work out, Ballard has left himself open to criticism.   Two words:  who cares?   A GM can’t do his job well if he’s afraid of criticism.  Do you think the Steelers care that George Pickens is totally crazy?   No.  They care he makes big plays for Pittsburgh and catches first downs and touchdowns.  Mike Tomlin deals with the crazy part in private.   A GM has to have thick skin.  Ballard clearly does.   And he doesn’t care what others think of him.  Nor should he.     So far Mitchell seems to enjoy Indy.   I think the odds are good Ballard and Steichen can handle whatever baggage the kid brings.
