Whoops, you beat me to it.   He just forced an interception (making the guard look like a turnstile), hit Blount on the play he got hurt, and then hit Stafford on the play he got hurt. That

Anderson, Simon, Melvin and Hankins should all still be on this team. I think this is either CB making huge mistakes or we are in rebuild and have no intention of winning now and even next year

Umm, what? Patricia was never coming here, that was McDaniels.

Watching him tonight, he's very disruptive. Jets got him for pennies on the dollar.

He definitely had no place in a 4-3. Just ignore the fact that he's playing on a 4-3 front half the time with the Jets haha.

Yes questioned it then still do now.  It is what it is.  At least Hunt is performing so it's sort of a wash. I mean we could've had both and really attack in waves... Ugh y'all are really trying to spoil my good feelings from the game by bringing this up aren't y'all...

On the other side, another Belichick disciple is off to great start.  Jets might drop a 60 burger.

they might, yet another INT just now.  ESPN moved the game to ESPN2 at 5:52 to go in the 4th....raiders v rams more important indeed! On the Detroit side it's called a Scorebored.

Correct and he couldn’t stay healthy.  

 

Now maybe if you started your argument with his health you'd be taken more seriously.  

 

Tackles and sacks are not a way to judge a 3-4 defensive lineman.  They are not there to do either of those.  If they do then it's "extra".

It was really hard to ignore his presence, no doubt.

I get that his health was a question (even if one of his injuries was pretty freakish) but I'm not a big fan of the fit argument for cutting players on the DL. A lot of people thought Woods wouldn't fit, heck even Hunt himself said he didn't like playing in a 4-3 defense, and they looked like two of our best D-linemen yesterday.

When Anderson played here he missed 19 games, played in 29 of 48 games. Had 43 Tackles and 3 Sacks. Not like we got rid of an All-Pro lmao 

This. Hard to blame management on this one. He was hurt too often. Glad he’s doing well now but it’s one game. See how well he holds up before making any bold statements.

Hes a 3-4 DE...   he’s not very fast or twitchy...    he’s not much of a pass rusher....   he can make tackles around the line of scrimmage,  but he’s not known for penetration or pressure in the backfield.

 

Im a Stanford fan...   love Henry...   but he was clearly not a scheme fit.

Big time mistake letting Henry Anderson go.  No way he was not a fit for our defense.

 

100 percent false.    3-4 DE better against the run than the pass.    I’m a longtime Stanford fan.   Glad when we drafted him when we were running a 3-4 defense.

 

I preficted we’d trade him.   It was not hard to see this coming.   Ballard knows what he’s doing.

Easy with the intellect here fellas... He CLEARLY could have played in any scheme on any team. Everyone here agrees with me.

Over 3 years he had 65 tackles and 3 sack and he was injured a lot.  That’s why he isn’t with us anymore. 

 

Yeah as much as I hate to admit it, I have to agree. I like Henry Anderson as much as anyone, & I didn’t like getting just a 7th rounder for him, but he only made it through 10+ games once in his 3 seasons with the Colts. I can see how it’d be tough to give him a roster spot in that 4th season, which would’ve also been a contract year.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
