Colts signing Kendall Langford

[jameszeigler834]

Agh come on. Looks like no fairley or knighton. Is he even good?

He is a quality rotational player he had 5 sacks in 2013 his production dipped a bit last season because of Donald the first round pick to 28 tackles and 1 sack but I think a solid starter as long as we didn't overpay him terribly.

[Robin]

Can this guy dance as good as RFJ?

[NewColtsFan]

If we don't get one of Knighton, Williams, or Fairley, free agency (defensively) will be a failure. We missed Ngata for whatever reason so we need one of these 3. Knighton and Tashaun Gibson would be perfect.

 

We missed Ngata because we expected him to be released and instead he got traded.

 

I had no interest in him at his current price and at the cost of two draft picks.    Sorry,  too expensive at that point.

[Dustin]

reading everyone's responses I am assuming this is supposed to be a RJF type guy? especially now that redding is looking into arizona?

 

He's basically RJF. Meh signing if it's for backup money. He at least has starting experience and has stayed healthy. 

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

And we have to factor in that he played on an amazingly stacked Rams dline... similar to many arguments against Hughes.

[COLTSFAN12to13]

Rams fans seem to think this guy was a really solid player for them, until Aaron Donald replaced him. 

[#BringBobBack]

i like the signing we're most likely not done with the DL but a good move to start improving it IMO

[Hoosiernsavga]

i really like langford solid rotational replacement for rjf i still think we'll bring in another FA or high draft pick good signing

I would rather have RJF!

[COLTSFAN12to13]

We still need some new safeties and some depth at DL and ILB. Hopefully we can grab Pot Roast. 

[Dustin]

I'm being a little to harsh because I'm expecting him to get starter money, but this is a decent signing if it's purely for a rotational role and not as a starter. 

[James]

I would rather have RJF!

 

Langford is not starting like RJF. We can and will do better than RJF in either FA or the draft.

[COLTS449]

WE "screwed around" and didn't get Ngata?

 

As if we had a choice in the matter?

 

Are there any other players who are not free agents that WE "screwed around" and didn't get?

 

I guess WE "screwed around" and let Max Unger go to the Saints today as well.

 

Sheesh...

 

Ngata would have made our D-Line unbelievable. He would have almost fixed our Run Defense by himself. We had the cap room, and I think we should have done whatever it took to trade for him. You'll see what I mean if Langford is starting next season.

[CCH]

Langford played 3-4 DE in Miami, and he was a good high motor rotational player. Will get to the QB, avergae at stopping the run. I like the signing though

[MTC]

Langford is better in a 3-4 defense. He'll be productive for us. Don't get the hate.

[#BringBobBack]

I would rather have RJF!

depending on langford's contract which im not expecting to be that high i think money wise cutting RJF was the right move financially  and i liked him as well but most likely langford will be cheaper and has a lot of talent himself

[DougDew]

Fairley would be a disaster.  Its a shame so many on this forum have been left to blather about him unchallenged for so many days. 

 

As far as Knighton..with Chapman, Jones, and Hughes, the Colts don't need another fatty.

neither do i

[Indyfan4life]

Some people are just never happy unless it's the biggest FA available that we sign. Jeez.

[PrincetonTiger]

Agreed

[TKnight24]

Forum is HILARIOUS

Moment is someone y'all don't know or not a top flight guy, you don't like the signing

:lol:

Boy y'all terrible

[BlueCollarColts]

I would actually be content with a Langford/Wilfork/Jones front line. 

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

Some people are just never happy unless it's the biggest FA available that we sign. Jeez.

 

If we gave $60 million guaranteed to Suh, Im 100% certain this forum would be at war!

[John Waylon]

 

Try again, Grigson. And try again till you get it right, damnit. 

[backshoulderfade]

Please, people are entitled to their opinions. Some people have voiced their opinion for both arguments so save the silly posts.

 He was also used as a DT. He is best as a 3-4 end, and has been considered a good Lane stuffer.

 In other words, an upgrade to Redding i run D. At 6-6 he gets his arms up in the passing lanes.

 Solid.

[John Waylon]

Langford is better in a 3-4 defense. He'll be productive for us. Don't get the hate.

 

If we start him, we are going to be SORELY disappointed. Especially with letting RJF go, because RJF has the better skillset. 

[HtownColt]

@OmarKelly: There are other impressive free agents the Colts are in play for.....I just can't name names right now (not allowed to).

+100.

 

This guy played like a grown man in the 3-4.  He's great as depth along the defensive line and could be a great option across from Jones. 

[Mitch]

Langford is great against the run. He'll provide very little pass rush though.If this is cheap or 3 mill/under I'll be happy. 

[throwing BBZ]

 Thanks Doug. There is such a thing as player developement. Don`t forget Kerr. Most bigs take at least 2-3 years.

[Dustin]

@OmarKelly: There are other impressive free agents the Colts are in play for.....I just can't name names right now (not allowed to).

 

Hmm.

[COLTS449]

Don't get me wrong. IF this is a depth signing, and if the intentions are for him to be a rotational DL, then Its a great one. Langford's a solid D-Lineman. Its just, he isn't the answer to our D-Line problems. We need a monster or 2 up front.

[Ja'Crispy]

Big shoes to fill

 

Also 9/10 on the synchronized spin at the end.

[MrNLM]

Langford has nothing to do with this.

 

you assume the Colts were in a trade war with Detroit.

 

IF we were we would have had to give more than a 4th and a 5th.

 

Not worth it.

 

You can refute it but, that would make you wrong. So don't do that.

always loved looking at the score while watching this video lol makes it even funnier

[Hamster360]

Can everyone stop freaking out until we see the contract details? If he signed for 4 years 28M$ with 12M$ Guaranteed, then yes, I will join you all in the freaking out. If he signed for 2 years, 6M$ with 1M$ Guaranteed, then he's a rotational player, and everyone shut up

[Ja'Crispy]

+100.

Rams fans I've talked to really liked him.  Maybe not a starter, but definitely solid depth.
