Because he's Von Miller.

 

Yeah, I can understand the speed element if you are beaten around but when you get bull rushed by a guy weighing 50 lbs lighter than you into your QB's face, then you are not playing well with your leverage and/or are lacking in upper body strength. Being big does not mean being strong, that is what Reitz showed me yesterday.

I understand he was going against Von Miller, but he wasn't even getting a hand on him. Von just pushed him away like he's a lightweight.

The fundamentals should be drilled into him to the point they're second-nature. He wasn't getting low when he was driven back by Von. So I'd put this on coaching (Philben) as much as Reitz.

The Colts traded with Green Bay to take TJ Green. With the Colts pick, Green Bay took IU's All Big Ten Tackle, Jason Spriggs.

 

Not a fan of Jason Spriggs, really. And he's riding the bench for the Packers, unless you count his two STs snaps...

 

Much rather have TJ Green, the problem is he's hurt right now.

 

All this fuss about Joe Reitz... Von Miller serves a lot of RTs in the NFL.

    • 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.
