And an F for not signing Zeitler.

Why? He can't force players to sign, we dont even know if Zeitler had interest in Indy or if Indy had interest in him.

[IinD]

I do like how he's one of those 100mph type players. He's all effort.

We don't know but we had the money and we went after defense.  If he wanted to address the OL with quality FA he could have.  The vast majority of FA are there for the payday.  Money wins out unless your an older FA looking for a SB. Like Gore.  

[Fisticuffs111]

He was my "call out" guy from Superman's Call Out thread, and only because I expect so much from him.

I think he's quickly gonna become a fan favorite.

Good Lord,   you have no idea,  like all of us,  what the offer was we gave to him.   Why always on the hypothetical negative.   Simon had a great game,   that's what this thread is about

 Not a lot of twitch athletically but a very savvy/smart player....

Like what I have saw so far seems like we gotta a impact player on the cheap .

He's already one of my favorites. Best pass rusher the Colts have had in a while. Pretty good against the run too.

[NorthernBlue]

He's a beast. Steal of the offseason right now.

 

Now if only Sheard could pick it up a bit.

Sheard did ok today aside the penalty

I think Sheard played a bit better today. Don't think he had any sacks but he had 2 or 3 nice bull rushes that collapsed the pocket and ended in a sack.

He does get an A for Simon.  He had a great game and he probably was our best signing signing along with Hankins and Woods.  We spent our money on defense.   Looks like he thought our OL line was fixed.  Irsay even said so.  It's a long season.  We'll see. 

[krunk]

Hell everybody he signed on that D line has served us well. From Hankins all the way down to Hunt. And the numbers support it

Looked like his arm bounced of the QB's shoulder pass and just brushed his helmet. A ridiculous call IMO.

[Dark Superman]

I really love the addition of Simon.

Dude plays with a lot of energy and intensity.

At first glance I thought Pat Angerer was back in town.

[Dark Superman]

During the Preseason I got confused when I saw Simon representing the #51.

I thought Irsay brought Pat Angerer back. Lol.

You have no clue if we made an offer and it got rejected. It's highly likely that he took the colts offer and went to the ravens and said match it or I sign with them.

Yeah, it was Palmer's arm momentum that caused sheards hand to graze the facemask. Sheard had several pressures and a couple nice run stops. Hopefully he will continue to improve.

Can you imagine if that pass was incomplete and they awarded a first down due to that penalty ?

I would've got the torches and pitch forks out.

Yeah.. at least it was just 15 yards and not a game changer.. IMO anyway.

That penalty was nonsense. As he was trying to swipe for the ball. Palmer’s arm was hitting Sheard’s arm down towards him. That call wasn’t on Sheard imo

Twitter rumblings from around the time he signed suggested we had a similar offer and Zietler just chose to sign in Cleveland instead. In fact the Browns have the most expensive O-Line in the league and yet they have surrendered 10 sacks in 2 games already.

Which ought not have been called a penalty.  He hit the QB's arm which pushed sheard's hand into the QB's own helmet and face mask.  No foul.  Bad call.

 

Oops, edit for the offside clarification.  Sorry.

He's a white, undrafted receiver for the Patriots. 

[Mr Coffee]

Yeah, love that guy.  I think the D will really come together as the season voes on.  The 1st game was a really bad measuring stick.  Hard to play well when your O gives up 16 points and you're always stuck on the field.

I think it was Urban Meyer said the only way to stop him is with a bullet.

Simon signed here on a 3-year deal, correct?
