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.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By smittywerb · Posted

      Pass rush.     That is the key.  Control the line.  Make him make plays.  Make him uncomfortable.  Hey, if he Stroud beats us with his talent and we’re making him complete these great plays, then chalk it up to the game.  But we can’t allow him (and any other qb) to be comfortable and pick us apart.     I hope we see our front 4 provide that pressure because that will make everything else much easier.  I honestly believe we have the corners for our scheme in Moore, Brents, and jones.  But we don’t have the pressure.  Or the FS unfortunately.  Our corners jobs in this scheme isn’t to run step for step with wide receivers.  It’s to stick with them and prevent YAC.  Moore is the best nickel in the game, Jones was one of the best corners PERIOD in preventing YAC, and I think a healthy Brents will be good too.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By smittywerb · Posted

      Agreed.  After this last off season, I kind of give Ballard a pass on taking long to find a certified DE (if Latu pans out).  Like QBs, they don’t grow on trees.  You either have to draft one high, get lucky with one in the draft, or sign one in FA for loads of cash.  All I can ask for him as GM to do is try.  He hasn’t been perfect by any means but at least he’s tried with the DE position specifically.   i also think Shane being here has changed his thinking.  Before, Ballard might’ve went with Turner due to the higher upside.  But maybe Shane differs and wants proven players.     Either way, I’m glad we possibly have our stud at a premium position for the next 5 years at a cheap rate.     And gotta thank the Falcons for us landing Latu.  Lol

      Sure, but I know you're smart enough to get the gist of this post - a potent offense is more important than a good defense.     Today's NFL favors the O in the rule book and encourages scoring.  D's have to hang in there and most play it safe.   Of course, it's simple, of course it's not easy to have an elite O, and of course it doesn't always lead to wins.  But, in my opinion, it's the way a GM should build a team.  (Yes, I know about the Manning years.  That's another conversation)
