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.

      Interesting Take On This Years Defensive Line From Assistant GM Dodds

      By CoachLite · Posted

      The D-line personnel remain to be seen. My concern is whether or not Gus Bradley has the capacity to orchestrate the talent we have to best advantage. I'm skeptical. I feel Bradley is too dogmatic and ideological in his philosophy to use the tools he has.   In short, he can't see what he won't see, and I don't know if anyone on the team has the ability to change that.

      He hasn't been a pancaker since he got paid. My recollection is often iffy but wasn't it year 4 that he played with an ankle injury? And he came into the league with back issues.   I pound the table that our opponents don't give an inch to Fries when it comes to Fries knocking them back in short yardage. So absolutely our opponents can line up their strength to cover from Kelly to a L TE.  What has been shocking since his early Pancaking All-Pro seasons is him getting drive blocked so instantly and powerfully that he looks like a Joe. And occasionally big guys are around him in a flash. My first thought is he is off on the snap timing. Nelson is still executing loads of good blocks and I would put his pulls up against anyone. Yes, OK, definitely many of those are pancakes. When I was thinking of pancakes I was picturing him going mano y mano with the guy across from him and riding them for 6 yards then landing on them.  It's history.

      What is the percentage of runs behind Q that don't get 3rd and 4th and short.  Thanks in advance.  I'm sure you have the percentages

      Where did I say that Porzingis is better than Haliburton?   By the way, Porzingis’ stats are similar to Halliburton except that he averages 2 points more per game , 5 more rebounds per game, more than 1 more block per game, etc. Halliburton is a better passer… because that’s his job. But don’t dare argue that Porzingis doesn’t contribute as much.  Literally every stat proves otherwise.

      They should have won when Tatum was a rookie, or within the first 2-3 years as a 19-22 year old?   With no other support? Heck, Lebron didn’t win until he formed a Big Three in Miami. MJ had a fantastic team around him.     Now that the Celtics have a strong team around Tatum, they’ll be there for years.
