Geathers

[dw49]

Total stud today. Great run stopper and seems to be getting better in coverage ?

[RockThatBlue]

He seems to be getting better weekly.

 

And yes, hes definitely improving in coverage. 

[Lef]

Love him. Only 2nd season. Has an bright future in the NFL. 

[jbaron04]

Yea,  green need about 2 more years I think but Clayton is a beast 

[oldunclemark]

so our GM made a good choice...?  wow..

[IinD]

He can definitely tackle that's for sure.

 

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.

Not to mention he was drafted in the 4th round... seems to be a steal so far!

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

[GoColts8818]

He reminds me of Sanders in some ways, he just stays healthy.

[Gavin]

Overall he has played well minus 1 bad game. I have no complaints. I do however hope in time he becomes more of a playmaker

No, no, he only gets "credit " for the bad picks, not the good ones....

Let's slow down a bit lol.

 

I like Geathers, but Bob was special.

Yes, because the criticism is soooo unwarranted.

He looked so much like a linebacker, I thought it was a linebacker.

[Dark Superman]

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.

I just miss him so much :'(  I've waiting for a player to fill the void for a long time

[will426]

If we draft another safety or  move butler to safety to keep geathers at mlb id like him even more

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...

[Superman]

Looks like the coaching staff is figuring out how to use him.

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.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Geathers is coming into his own. I'm liking it so far, usually a solid tackler.

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.

I missed him too.  For about half of every season he was with the Colts, it seems.

 

[ztboiler]

Geathers personifies what is working in the NFL and what we need a lot more of...Players that are good in space and big enough to do something about it.

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.

[BullsColtsFan1]

He played great today.  I think he's played solid all year.  Hes young too!

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?

[coltsfanatic24]

He's been great this year.

[throwing BBZ]

The Group is coming along ok.  Definitely some nice positives with our young'uns.
 Our DC deserves some credit.

[B~Town]

Kid can ball but one thing he doesn't get much credit for is how involved he his in calling adjustments pre snap . Geathers is really become a leader on our D

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.

[AZColt11]

I haven't been watching him specifically but he seems to be doing well when I have watched him.  Good pick.

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