Could Henry Anderson win DROY?

Possible, Bud Dupree also got off to a good start on that claim as well.

Angelo Blackson for the Titans also got off to a nice start

 

I was impressed with Dupree.  I knew he had talent but I figured he'd be much more raw than what he showed.  

 

Blackson was surprising as well I didn't think he would get push like he did.   (I know I know its the Bucs)

 

Beasley was the one who looked raw.  Athletic as heck yes but very raw. 

 

Ronald Darby was outstanding as well, he's gonna thrive in the Ryan defense.

He's got two things working against him IMO.  Overall, the defense he plays on is not very good.  He's also not flamboyant.

 

However, I think he's got two things working for him.  The Colts are on national TV a lot and he has the potential.  If he has one great game on national TV, like say this Monday night, and the announcers continue to single him out, he could get on the radar.

Buffalo's o-line is about like ours...not great but adequate. Jets have a couple probowlers.  Let's see how the D-line plays Monday :)

Henry Anderson DL



Rookie DE Henry Anderson emerges as an early front runner for DROY.

Through the first two games Anderson has recorded a sack, 14 total tackles (11 solo), and played 83 percent of snaps. He's not an elite edge-threat, but his non-stop motor and play against the run has marked him out as an early candidate to be the Defensive Rookie of the Year. He's moved into DL2 consideration in IDP leagues and is a waiver wire must-grab in tackle-heavy scoring systems.

    • This whole time I never knew you were from Fort Wayne, I always thought you lived in Indy lol… We love to visit the zoo when I make my inevitable pilgrimage to Sweetwater (I’m a rocker 🎸).    Yeah I think Rod takes the cake, but I understand why some would say Bob Griese for Indiana.    Side note, if you are into rock bands one of my favorite bands of all time is heading to Fort Wayne this fall: Rival Sons. 
    • Believe it or not, but this hypothetical was a pretty real scenario for a while in the spring of 2012 before we let Manning go. Quite a bit of debate happened on this very idea.    In hindsight, I’d still have to say it was for the best for Peyton. I don’t think he would’ve made it to two more Super Bowls, let alone winning another one with us. Denver was stacked and primed. All they needed was a QB to guide them. We were the opposite. We needed a total rebuild.   As for Luck? I could see where him sitting would’ve benefited, but would he have learned to take less hits?    His rookie year was phenomenal. We went 11-5 and made the playoffs. At the time, it really felt like everything was working out for both Peyton and the Colts… 
    • Rod Woodson.😁. Actually from my city too.
    • What if, somehow, Jim Irsay had managed to successfully keep Peyton Manning and draft Andrew Luck?   I saw a graphic that compared how long ago every NFL team has started a rookie QB. Colts of course did it last year with Richardson. And with Luck. And with Manning.   Packers haven’t started a rookie QB since like the 80s.   Imagine if the Colts had let Luck learn from Peyton for at least a year or two, like Rodgers did with Favre.   Whether it was Polian, Grigson, or Ballard, let’s assume the staff could put together a team good enough for either QB to win. After all, the Grigson Colts with Luck beat the Manning Broncos. In the Playoffs.   But for the sake of argument, let’s say Irsay and whatever staff he chooses re-sign Manning, draft Luck, and then actually build an OLine to protect this thrice-in-a-lifetime QB passing-of-the-torch. Manning-to-Luck joining Favre-to-Rodgers and Montana-to-Young as the top-three greatest runs of QB play in the history of the NFL.   The careers of both Manning and Luck might have lasted longer with even more accolades. The 2010s coulda, shoulda, and woulda been the Colts decade.
