Well that sucks

I just can't find the words.....

[Bluefire4]

Welp.. don't know how we stop the run without DQ and Kendall Langford so I don't know how we win next week.

[Dudley Smith]

Great. Our "leader" on defense. Pound Cake will have to really step it up.

[runthepost]

Welp looks like I'm starting Lamar miller 

[John Waylon]

Interesting.

I'm actually not all that surprised by this, if I may be honest.

[PeterBowman]

I know he's the vocal leader on the D but is it really that big of a loss?

[krunk]

It will likely be a mix of Mcnary, edwin Jackson and a lot of Clayton Geathers.

[VaAllDay757]

Man morrison is not ready smh

I'm thinking taking out McNary and putting in a tackling dummy......same results.

[Bluefire4]

Geathers HAS to get healthy for this stretch if we have any chance.

[SilentHill]

meh it's not a big deal.

Geathers has to get healthy and be on the field though.  I am sure he's over the concussion but I am not sure about the neck issue?

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Very, very nice. 

 

Id roll with Geathers as a permanent ilb the rest of the season imo. 

 

Use Butler/Adams as the safeties ; do not start Green if you want any chance at a win please. he's not ready 

[coltsfan77]

Just when you start feeling a little better and seeing some light at the end of the tunnel! Smh!!

Sadly, it seems the ones getting popped are the older guys trying to keep up with the young bloods. I get it. It's just unfortunate that we'll be without him the rest of the regular season.

[NorthernBlue]

Are you kidding me? Just when things are going good.....

 

DQ isn't all that great, but he's literally our best ILB and leads the Colts in tackles. Huge loss in the run game plus he's the defenses vocal leader. This actually sucks.

It won't be very very nice if Geathers and Robinson are more injured than we know.

Yes.  I know he isn't the player he used to be,  but we lose leadership along with a defensive captain.  He was the veteran who got everyone in the correct locations.  They will miss that most of all.

 

And of course,  he's much much better than Morrison or mcnary.  Wonder if we sign Nate Irving now? I would...he knows the playbook and could step right it. 

 

[jbaron04]

Oh hopefully Ayers and ed get more reps since they can run.  Morrison and mcnary are the worst in coverage 

[will426]

It'll be geathers and Ejax only if geathers is healthy..I honestly don't want Morrison to play but I don't want Mcnary to play lol..Morrison is a bit slow and can't cover hits hard but that's only IF He's close enough to make the tackle.. Mcnary can't cover nor play the run and kills us with untimely penalties....I call for AKEEM AYERS TO START WITH EJAX  if geathers isn't healthy that is May my wish come true

may have too, but who'd you cut, DQ? or put him on IR since he has a "neck injury"

[Grind Hard]

Losing Jackson was addition by subtraction. More Edwin Jackson more Geathers more Butler at safety I like our chances.

 

Our defensive line is 1 of our strengths any we might be getting Langford back so they will plug and chug in another linebacker.

 

Guess that's why the colts have been trying linebackers out all along they knew this was coming and have been planning on it.

 

1st a pizza guy now this he's gone at the end of this year if not now.

[MacDee1975]

People trash DQ going on 2 years, now all the sudden he's this huge loss.....lol

[Dustin]

Best news all week.

[krunk]

Well maybe even this Deon King guy might have something. He was a tackling machine in college and runs 4.6 so maybe an option?  Not likely but just looking through the choices.

[21isSuperman]

Is it just me, or have Colts players been caught with PEDs a lot recently?  Mathis a few years ago, Art Jones, DQ, LaRon Landry, and I feel like I'm missing a few others

Shhhhhh! 

[BrentMc11]

Could use a hybrid 4/3 that can move back to 3/4 to try to confuse Osweiler (Not hard to do IMO).  I am not seeing McGill on the field enough.  All the man does is make plays.  When you lose your best tackler, whether you like him or not...you will quickly how much you missed him....DQ was the defensive leader.

 

I don't agree with all of you guys that say it's the best news of the week.  Mine was seeing Green Bay beat the Texans in the snow.  Go Colts...short week to prepare.

 

Where is Earl Okine when you need him.

I meant it more sarcastically like an "oh great...". Just when the mojo starts flowing we lose our defense's leader.

Let's not pretend like Laroid wasn't a walking pharmacy his entire career. 

 

He's the type of guy who curls in the squat rack

Langford can't come off IR now can he?
