As I said in another thread on him I think once they add another worthwhile edge rusher his skill set as a coverage lb should be utilized more in the nickel and dime sets by covering tight ends and running backs - which he has been showing a strong propensity of doing!

 

Whether it's Basham or Perry stepping up this year (after Simon returns) or next year with another draft pick added to the mix.

So during the offseason, hopefully we bring in a pass rusher. We have Sheard, Mingo, Simon and Basham. Do we bump up to five or does someone have to go? Then who? Would be nice to get a pass rusher with our high first.

Theoretically we can run any amount of any position, but we typically roll with 9 players between OLB and ILB. With Mingo potentially able to fill in as a backup ILB I think it isnt out of the realm of possibilty that we keep 5 OLBs and 4 ILBs. But it all comes down to how good the coaches feel with the talent/depth at ILB.

Depth is a great thing to have.  If we use an early pick on this and the guy shows he is solid then you either keep all for depth or cut one, probably Basham.  Ballard drafted him but if he isn't showing any ability to get on the field and everyone else is, he is dead weight and needs cut.  There is no love in this game...

someone would probably have to go if we use a high pick on a PR

 

based on what we know right now, it would probably be basham

Based on what we know now, it would probably be Mingo, seeing as hes not under contract past this season. haha

 

I hope we resign him, but as of what we know right now, he isnt on the roster going into next yr.

He deserves some big props. He has played really well for the Colts this year. 

 

I really would like to see Mingo used more in a Jamie Collins Hybrid role where he plays inside and outside. the guy has immaculate speed and covers ground quick . he has surprised me to say the least.

I've said it before, but I'd like to see the Colts use Mingo at OLB and ILB and move him around so the opposing Defense doesn't know if he's going to rush, drop in coverage, etc. 

 

Use him like a Hassan Reddick or Ryan Shazier type of player. 

 

He's been a pleasant surprise! 

Like Jamie Collins is used

i was assuming we re signed him, but yeah that is no given

 

i would put him above mewhort and moncrief if we dont draft a pass rusher early, but FA is before the draft making it awkward.

 

its hard to say if any of these three guys will have a bunch of other teams interested in them or not

he is probably the most physically gifted guy we have on defense.  not sure if he would be any good at ilb, i guess it cant hurt to give it a try when simon comes back

You have a few players who have shined like this.  Clay Mathews did this for the Packers a few years back.  They had some injuries and pushed him inside but would still have him move around for outside rushes or coverage to confuse a QB.

      Food for thought, Nelson

      By DougDew · Posted

      I don't know if its a drop off or not, but short yardage goal line plays are often called to be run over The Pancaker and get stuffed frequently.  Can't say its his fault and you can't win them all, but the article indicates his run blocking is probably about #20 in the NFL if you just do the math between #4 PB and #11 overall.  If I read it correctly.

      Interesting Take On This Years Defensive Line From Assistant GM Dodds

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      Honestly, it may be our biggest strength on the entire team after adding Latu. The only concern is how much we will blitz with Gus Bradley as the D-Coordinator. If we get pressure, we can duplicate last year again IMO.

      By chad72 · Posted

      It is more like how the Seahawks defeated the Broncos. They went 7 or 8 deep on their DL. There were 1 or 2 household names but their 2013 collection as a unit of 7 or 8 was better than the Giants collection of 7 or 8 though the Giants' starting 4 were ALL household names.   The Giants primarily featured their front 4 but Spags augmented it with great safety and LB blitzing. Yes, there were rotational DL that contributed but the starting 4 still played heavy minutes unlike with the Seahawks.   The difference was the Seahawks DL got more help from the Legion of Boom than the Giants' DL got with a good but not great secondary like the Seahawks. To make up for that, Spags blitzed in a timely fashion with LBs Antonio Pierce, Kawika Mitchell that played great roles. Our secondary has to be at least good to very good, if not elite, for our D to play at a high level with the DL investments paying off.

      YouTube TV 2024 Sunday Ticket $199 Special ends May 16th

      By cdgacoltsfan · Posted

      Just watched Mike Florio on YouTube . He is saying the NFL is in court this week regarding their business practice of demanding top $ and only one choice ( all the early and afternoon sunday games). Hopefully they lose and have to offer other price plans and choices . For example..Colts only package.

      2024 NBA, Pacers and all NBA talk

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      I can make excuses about injuries regarding any particular year until the Cow's don't moo and the Pig's don't oink, but nobody cares. I 100% believe that had Dwight Freeney been 100% and played in the 4th Qtr in SB 44, Colts beat the Saints. It goes on deaf ears and haters just want to bring up, Peyton threw an INT going for the tie late. Nobody cares that Drew Brees couldn't do anything in the 1st half when Freeney was in there, they just cared who won. It's not the Pacers problem that Giannis was out and when we played NY, Brunson played every game and NY was favored in Game 7.   @NFLUp, I really hope that you don't think Porzingis is better than Haliburton because if you do, I really question your knowledge and that would be one of the worst takes of all-time. Haliburton is our engine that makes the team go.
