Seems like Indy rarely has those type guys that knock the snot out of people. Nice to see. Just hope he stays healthy.

That will be an issue because he has to nave high speed collisions to clean up the other side's running game

Sounds reminiscent of Bob Sanders.  A punisher that just needs to stay healthy.

Exactly my point.

 

He's definitely a punishing type hitter. 

 

I'd definitely take his lack in coverage skills if he keeps blowing guys/plays up.

As far as I can remember our deep secondary guys have made way too many tackles over the years.

 

I remember Bethea always having MLB type tackle numbers every year. Shouldn't be that way, but not much we can do.

Geathers sure did make a Linebacker tackle on that last play to win the game for us, stout hit on Murray

Wouldn't mind seeing Geathers as one of our ILB's down the road if Green continues to improve and as long as the Colts can fill the void once Mike Adams leaves.

 

Geathers and Edwin Jackson paired together could be the future of the Colts at MLB.

Adams had a decleating hit today that was very Colonel Bob Sanders like. Geathers is a thumper though. As well as Green. The closest thing I've seen to a Bob Sanders like seek and destroyer is Edwin Jackson. That guy closes fast and with bad intentions. I can't remember seeing that kind of speed and thump in our LB corp in a long time...

I think Gathers and Edwin Jackson both play the "other" inside backer spot next to the Mike...

 

I think they'd be both in the "will" spot....       not sure how often they'd be on the field at the same time, if at all....

 

Perhaps others can chime in?

They were both on the field in base D much of the day yesterday.

When Edwin sees something he just blacks out and flies to the football with head busting on his mind.  I like the kid!  He's a really good tackler.

I never said he doesn't deserve some criticism. Of course he does. But he also deserves credit for guys like Hilton, Doyle, Geathers, and others.

 

Yes, he does.  He has had numerous good early round picks:  Luck, Hilton, Mewhort, Moncrief, Anderson, Geathers;  Kelly, Green and Ridgeway look to be great picks this year too.

 

But he has missed on way too many early round picks to keep his job.  He's blown 3 first rounders in a row (Werner, Trade For Trent Richardson, Dorsett).  That is unacceptable and should cost him his position.

It would not have bothered me a bit if Irsay  had made a change last off-season. But he didn't, so we live with it. We all know the bad and good of Grigson's record, he's not going anywhere soon, so why not enjoy the half-full glass?

That's not that unusual though. Those guys can sit back and see the entire play develop from their position, and the good ones can react and be down in the tackle box almost instantly. As good as the LB corps for some of those really good Baltimore defenses were, Ed Reed still led the Ravens in tackles a couple of times.

I think it's premature to call Dorsett a missed pick.

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      If there are no more injuries then it's probably going to be Harrison, Cross, and Blackmon.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Hey Smonroe good to see you again,   Buckle up for the wildest ride of the Colts' training camp this year. So get this: Anthony Richardson, our once-heralded franchise quarterback hopeful, has taken a detour from throwing touchdowns to chasing them as a defensive end. Yeah, I'm serious. It's like watching a superhero trade in his cape for a pair of cleats.   Remember when Richardson was supposed to be the next Manning or Luck? Now he's out there, trading playbook pages for defensive schemes and praying his raw athleticism can translate to sacking quarterbacks instead of being one. Life comes at you fast, folks. I'm on the sidelines, and Richardson looks like he's still wondering if someone's pranking him. Meanwhile, Laitu Latu, the defensive behemoth, is showing him the ropes with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop. "Come on, Richardson, channel that quarterback precision into tackling!" Latu bellows, as if Richardson's secretly been holding back.   After practice, I catch Richardson in the locker room, staring at his battered playbook like it's the Rosetta Stone. The guy looks lost, but you gotta give him credit – he's trying to morph into a defensive beast under Latu's tutelage. Who knows, maybe he'll discover his inner J.J. Watt next.   Fast forward to game day, and the announcer's like, "And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: Anthony 'The Quarterback Turned Defensive Dynamo' Richardson!" The crowd's buzzing with curiosity, half-expecting him to call an audible and throw the first-ever defensive Hail Mary.   Surprisingly, Richardson doesn't completely embarrass himself. Sure, he's stumbling through reads and tackles like he's reading a foreign language, but he manages to make a few plays that even Latu would nod approvingly at. It's like watching a midlife crisis turn into a midgame surprise.   So here's to Anthony Richardson, the quarterback who found himself on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Who knows, maybe this season will be the comeback story to end all comeback stories. Or maybe we'll just get more memes than tackles. Either way, it's gonna be one heck of a ride.   Keep grinding, AKB

      I'm not certain if we are bringing in another safety. Do you understand now?????? The other guy thought we would. I said I'm not certain

      Funny. I created a thread a while back that completely discredits this notion that he’s a running back…    He’s a pocket passer. Who runs on designed calls. Check the tape.

      All funny stuff @AKB and good fodder to stir up conversations during this dead period.   AR at RB?  I don't want to be "that guy" but if he gets injured every time someone touches him, or he lands wrong... his career isn't going to last too long at RB.   Now, maybe at D End????
