This is a good signing. Very pleased!  Does someone have a link showing where Hankins ranks as a NT? I have no doubt he is an ascending NT but not sure I'd say he's one of the best right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masnerj Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 If you really think about it, I would take Hankins over Poe if I could do free agency all over again.  Yes, Poe is the better player right now and was absolutely dynamic before this past year BUT he also has worse of an injury problem than Hankins. That back is highly questionable and he seems to be going downhill to be honest. Not to mention he has played wayyy too many plays as a NT which has probably increased his risk to injuries. Hankins is younger, has more upside, and in my opinion is more well-rounded.  Hankins with a 3/30 mill deal over Poe's one year deal any day, in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rackeen305 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 #ColtsFans Chris Ballard needs to sign DT Hankins. (2 mins later, Hankins signs) #ColtsFans They over paid him (my point) Even if the contract is $30/3 years, "some of you guys are crying about the contract. Can I remind you, Hankins is 6-2 320 lbs naturally. We have Parry 6-1 310 lbs playing the nose (NT). COME ON MAN. you stress that we need a guy, then when we get the guy you still complain?  Hankins is 25 years young and you got 6-2 320 Lbs. for 3 yes/$30 Mill.

Colt Overseas Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Run stopping lost us making the playoffs, when the Texans ran it down our throats in LOS, the biggest game of our season. With Hankins, a fit Anderson and Langford, Simon and Sheard at OLB, and Id expect a high draft pick at ILB, we should see a clear improvement on run D. Ballard always said 'its all about your fronts'.  He is backing his statement up. This is a statement of intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLTS449 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 YES!!!!!!!!!!! BOO YAH BABY. Hankins is a monster, and will thrive at NT with us. We just drastically improved our D. Now get a couple EDGE rushers and a corner in the draft and its on baby!!!!!!!  Also. He'll play the nose on base formations, then we'll keep him in there in sub packages too IMO.....Why? Because he's our best DT and maybe....Possibly our best defensive player. Say our base D is Kendall Langford - Johnathan Hankins - Henry Anderson. I expect Anderson to be a beast, but on sub packages one of Langford or Anderson will come out instead of big Hankins. JMO. Which one comes out obviously depends on which of Langford or Anderson is having the best year. My hope is Ridgeway comes in and has a breakout year and starts over Langford, but we shall see.  I don't care about the contract as I believe he'll be a top 3ish nose tackle in the NFL this year.  I'm so happy man!!!!! I mean just. HELL YEAH BABY!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 5 hours ago, Superman said:  I know he got moved out of position. I think I know how good he is, no question he's a really good player. I just never thought he was worthy of $10m/year. If we deploy him in a way that allows him to get pressure on the QB, then we can maximize his value to us. If he's just a two down guy anchoring against the run, then it's not worth it, IMO. Yeah I agree. He has to be a 3 down contributor for us at that price. Sure he can't play every snap but he has to be able to contribute on all 3 downs. I like that he is young (just turned 25) so he is entering his prime...but it is a lot of money....a lot. Maybe I'm gun shy with the the Jones deal so fresh and the fact so many others passed over this guy in free agency. Something seems a little desperate about it...seems this deal could have been done a month ago but I could be wrong. I worry he can be the "man" on this dline after being one of the guys benefiting from others on his previous team. I will say this. I pray he balls out...he would be 28 when he is free agent again and could land another nice pay day. You got a great gift...now go out and earn it Jonathan.  It is exhilarating knowing going into this draft we can focus on lb, secondary, and RB in this draft...the very 3 positions of strength in this draft which is deep we have many early picks to go after those positions. This defense will be young and will have growing pains but I can't wait to see that youth and athleticism make some plays for us...maybe get us a short field from time to time.
