I managed to get a picture of Greg Toler prior to today's game.

Vontae is a top corner in the league, but had Winston been more accurate, he would have been that trash can today. I don't think he's a 100% judging from the way he was running and getting beat. A more accurate QB would've ate him alive today. Hope he gets better soon.

It just seems that anytime a QB throws his way that it is ALWAYS completed if it's on target. Toler doesnt seem to ever knock the ball away. Even when he has over the top help, Toler still manages to play way off the WR and they still complete...

I've defended Toler in the past, but he has been playing healthy for a while now and still is playing garbage.... I say let him walk at the end of the season and move in another direction.

Sadly he has been getting burnt all year long also.  He has been banged up all year long though too.  Toler perhaps had that excuse the first week or 2 after he came back, but not anymore.

On a different note - it was kind of nice when MH picked on the weak link in the Bucs secondary.  And it didn't seem like Lovey was making any adjustment to help him out.

 

I'm not looking forward to watching Brown, Wheaton and Bryant run down the field on Sunday night.  If we don't put pressure on Ben (or Jones) it could be a long night.

The Bucs play a two deep safety defense. Bottom line. Man and zone, but mostly zone, and the corners usually line up on the same side of the field. We have two burners at WR, and Lovie wasn't going to commit a safety to one side to get beat over the top on the other side. Very predictable, which is the problem with that ancient defensive approach.

The real failure, though, is letting our receivers off the line with no resistance. You can't go conservative at every level of your defense and expect not to give up plays. They stopped us in the first half, but once MH started dropping passes in the window, the Bucs should have adjusted. But this is a Lovie Smith team, so...

I have this game in my DVR, which I will watch tomorrow. I was busy watching the NY Giants lose to the Redskins & Houston steamroll the Saints. 

 

Big Blue had a chance to dominate the NFC East & blew it. Grrr! NY couldn't score until the 4th QTR really? Coughlin is gonna get fired if this keeps up. End Rant.

If Toler is garbage, then what does that make Dustin? Fed up with the total negative troll anti Colt nonstop arrogant pretend fan attention seeking trollop posted on here. Perhaps it's time to join a Colts fan forum.

BHC, it seems you are mad online.

An easy way to get a lot of likes=post a picture of a garbage can.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
