Until the Colts Defense is Healthy.....

Buzzwords, buzzwords, buzzwords and more buzzwords.  That's literally all we have to go on right now when it comes to our defense... none of us know and can't accurately predict anything that we'll see this year on defense. Just wait till we play and let's all stop acting like we've seen anything that scares us/intrigues us in the preseason.

And I'll be here to shove it down their 8 stupid throats.

Ummmm .....    :no:

 

One of the most treasured things on here is... civility.  We can disagree and be civil about it.  Thanks.

Our owner basically said the same thing the other day.  

 

The optimistic approach is that we may take our lumps at the beginning of the season but the team should steadily improve as guys come back and the lines gel.  

 

So besides the rough games we'll only have to endure all the whining here.   

 

 

I posted as I did to try to head off some of the whining.

 

I just know that this website was not a fun place after the Philly game,  and that was only pre-season.

 

I'd like to see us fans keep our powder dry.     It's a long season....  a marathon....    this is only the beginning.   Like Irsay,  I hope we get better as the season goes on.

Not a shot at you or anyone in particular,  

 

 

But are posters going to continually point this out daily or even hourly all season?  If you follow the colts or even football in general, by now you should know the question marks on this team. 

 

 

Yes I know i don't have to read it or respond but I wanted to vent.

 

All I know is i hope this team makes a lot of people eat some crow

 

I appreciate the thought,   but as I noted to another poster,  fans here went crazy over our loss to Philly,  and that was only pre-season.      As I noted then,  given our injuries,  a game like that was likely to happen and no one should've been surprised and yet so many fans here were.

 

What I'm really saying is that we'll be a very good team when we're healthy.    Please be a little patient.

 

I didn't think that was a bad message to send.....

Cmon y'all... 2-2 would be an awful start in these first 4. I only entertain the notion that we will lose 2 games because of how slow we have started in the last couple years. I know that anything can happen, but I only see 1 scary game in the 1st quarter of the season. 

 

4-0 is more likely than 1-3 imo... Feel free to rub it in my face if im wrong, though (as is your God-given right as a Colts fan).

Nothing wrong with a 2-2 start considering the new coaches and the players that are out.

    • I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.    
    • Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.
    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
