I just hope it doesn't mean davis's injury is something serious

I'd  imagine it does.  They are scrambling now to bring a vet in.  "Week to week" in Colts speak often translates to out for the year.  lol

A month isn't the worst news.

True...I'd take that as a win if that is all it turns out to be.  Particularly with the addition of Cromartie to the mix so long as we still retain a CB corps of Davis, Robinson and Cro upon Vontae's return.

Yeah. Even if its a bad one. Like that running back who I wont mention his name (Even though that was at the beginning of the regular season) and Jerry Hughes. Jerry Hughes could have blossomed into the beast he is now with us, and we would have that game wrecking OLB we desperately need. How excited would we all be right now going into the season with Jerry Hughes and Robert Mathis as our starting OLB's?

Jerry Hughes was our version of Vontae Davis. The colts and him just didn't mix. Chances are he'd signed elsewhere not to mention he did jack crap here.

It also allows us to play Robinson in the slot where I think he's better at. Gives us good depth too with Butler brown and smith

Injuries suck no matter how anyone looks at them from a player perspective and a fan but this could be a blessing in disguise. Just unfortunate it came a the expense of Vontae going down

Down the stretch we can have Cromartie, David and Robinson. Interesting. Even though Cromartie is older, he still brings good size and physicality we lack at corner.

 

I like the move. Just hope he's healthy.

So we'll face the Lions, Broncos, Chargers, and Jaguars for the time we will be missing Vontae.  Overall, I don't think his injury will put us in too deep of a hole.

 

Lions: They hve Marvin Jones and Golden Tate, but I don't think those two will do too much damage.

 

Broncos: Mark Sanchez/Trevor Siemian/Paxton Lynch doesn't worry me too much.  Sanders and Thomas are very good WRs but they need a good QB to throw them the ball. 

 

Chargers: They don't really have a running game so at least we can work on preparing to defend the pass.

 

Jaguars: If we don't have Vontae this will be a tough one.  Robinson and Hurns are both 6'3" and have Bortles throwing the ball.  Those two might really kill us in that game.

The only problem is we play Denver right away in week 2 and Vontae usually shuts down Demaryius Thomas, that has been a big part of our wins vs Denver. I don't think Cro can hang with DT but then he may surprise us with a few good games since he won't have the wear and tear of the season that early. However, the QB situation is thankfully dicey there. If our OL holds up and we get 20-25 points without turnovers, I don't think Denver can hold up.

 

Chargers, Lions and Jaguars are sneaky but we should get 2 out of those 3.

 

Fingers crossed. This might change our nickel formations to 3 safety nickel from 3 CB nickel.
