There's almost no premier talent on our D and that's straight fact. For what he's had player wise, he's definitely not a glaring problem that's for sure.

 

Our O didn't help them at all this year and they finished .500, I think that's decent so I can't hate on the guy.

Sheep!    SHEEP!!

 

Without numbers you can't figure out if today is Monday or Tuesday?  

 

SHEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Who are the players?      Who are the play MAKERS?       Who are the DIFFERENCE makers?

 

The Colts don't have them.       Take it up with Grigson!!

 

Manusky is good.       The Colts need way WAY more talent on that side of the ball!!

 

Screw the numbers.      Manusky has been doing it with smoke and mirrors since he got here.    It's glue and duct tape.      There's NOT enough talent on that side of the ball.      Too much time and money on the offense!

 

Think!

Talent gap is valid and obvious logic in Manusky's defense....but that doesn't insulate him from the full assessment of his body of work.

I like Schwartz as a DC, but doesn't he run more of a 4-3?

 

When Schwartz coached the Bills in 2014, I remember them playing a 3-4. He ran a 4-3 in Tennessee and Detroit. So I am certain he can work with both.

One of the complaints (still a complaint really) when he left the Bills and Rex coming in was that they went from a 3-4 under Pettine, to a 4-3 under Schwartz, back to a 3-4 with Rex.  I'm not sure of all the differences, but one of the things I didn't like about Schwartz was his reluctance to blitz and instead use 4 rushers most the time.  That's fine if you have 4 guys who are good enough to constantly get pressure on the QB, but that doesn't describe the colts.

He makes ZERO adjustments in games, which is why we get blown out against good teams. His mantra is "This is my gameplan and we are going to stick to it" He should have been shown the door after that BLOWOUT loss in NE in the AFC Championship game, how anyone can stick up for him and support him is beyond comprehension. Sure we're not playing with a full deck, but at least try to hide the weaknesses instead of intentionally exposinng them for the other team.

Dear god....

 

Just read this about his tenure in SD and how he ruined the then #1 defense in the NFL

Also, FWIW, a change at DC is not likely, In doing research of Manusky, as it turns out, he is very close to the Pagano family, going as far as saying himself and John Pagano were brothers, I'm sure now that Pagano won't fire Manusky with his rose colored glasses on, if he was really treating this like a professional business he wouldn't have been the DC in 2015 let alone 2016.

Well for one last couple years there have been TWO teams we've looked terrible against steelers and pats and he's had a lot of tires against them and his game plan always seems the same. Even this year when we played the pats he was playing smart till 1 player went down then he decided oh let's play zone and not bracket gronk anymore and then gronk explodes on us

Yeah, that's the real issue I have with Manusky.  The Steelers game was probably the worst case against Manusky from that perspective, and it happened twice.  We had our hands full to begin with, but we basically went in and did the same darn thing we did last year.  Might as well have just saved everyones legs on both teams and replayed the first game and call it a day.

 

Same results, different gameplan. Both times undermined by Greg Toler's badness.

OK......

 

So do I take it that you're for a change at DC then?

My expectation is that he will be retained....but I think there is a valid case for and against as stated earlier in the topic.  The deficiencies in coverage gameplanning and coverage adjustments are hard to ignore for me, however.

 

I hate to ever reduce it to one moment, but the decisive moment to me was the Steelers game.  You have to at least take something away from a great offense.  We made no attempt - back to back years.  That's a poor reflection.

      Next Defensive Coordinator

      By chad72 · Posted

      Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.

      You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.

      What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields.

      I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs.
