DraftMaster Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Also I notice that Cincy and The Skins have defenses ranked 4th and 3rd respectively. If we have a good offense now playing those defenses, what will it be like later on when we play worse defenses? Think about that for a second...Things lookin' up! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jvan1973 Posted September 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2018 Again, I'm so happy McDaniels pulled a McDonald's. Frank and company have things headed in the right direction. There will be head scratching mistakes, but I think frank is the right guy 21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Pennock Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I couldn't be happier with Frank Reich and the staff that he and Ballard put together. Also, those first and second year draft picks are meshing well together with a blend of free agents (Slauson, Ebron, Grant, Sheard, Woods) and waiver wire pickups (Moore, Muhammad, Desir, Glowinski). I fear that Basham is turning into Jerry Hughes and the moment we trade/waive him he'll take off. But - even if that happens Ballard will replace him with a Muhammad or a Phillips that will contribute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesjan3 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Sunday was the first time in a long time our defense has won a game for us, it was a great relief seeing this team making strides and not putting it all on Lucks shoulders. Things are definitely trending upwards with the changes being made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckColt Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 What a great change from the Grigson-Pagano defenses...and from the Grigson-Pagano offenses too. And Andrew's passes seemed to have a little more zip on them this week. Nice changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krunk Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Deangelo Hall said the Colts front got beat up against the Bengals, but against the skins they looked like they had 3 or 4 pro bowlers on the D Line. Ha Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha! I watched the Bengals game again. The D was much better than I thought. A few big penalties and a few big plays were the difference. Long Green PI, long Green TD. Long Mixon run before half. Stupid Geathers PI. Point is, like Sunday, they were swarming to the ball. They were getting inside pressure. Outside of a few mistakes, it was better than I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.ZapRowsdower Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 11 minutes ago, Mr.ZapRowsdower said: Exactly, give the O till mid season and I have a feeling we will be in for a treat. AC being back should allow us to take some more shots down field and open up some space for the run game. Andrew's comments on the line play and how excited he got talking about it is very reassuring considering we are without our starting LT. The left side of that line should be really good. The fact that our defense is going through our rookie 2nd round LB makes me even more excited about it. It was a great feeling watching our D and not having the thought in my head that we were going to blow it. Leonard is looking special, for a guy who got a late start you sure can't tell it. Love that he doesn't have a problem taking on a leadership role. Kid just keeps checking boxes and I think next week he's going to make his presence felt big time against Wentz.

They seriously remind me of the 2006 Colts playoff version of our defense in a lot of ways. I think they may be better though, because we see a lot more guys swarming to the ball with this D. I don't think it's a coincidence that we're playing a style similar to the Tampa 2 either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like 2 of every 3 games, Manning and the offense would score enough to make the opposing team give up on their running game and go pass only. Freeney and Mathis would then pin their ears back and go at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Colt Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 One point: The D is looking better and barring injuries it is only fitting they will get better as the season progresses. Through the Pagano years it appeared they had no answers and it was frustrating hearing Pagan say they will just keep plugging along as if there was no solution. Success is achieved on putting the right people in the right slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron11 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 on sunday they did look like a top 10 D they give up a lot of rushing ypc, and a big pass to the bengals though. our offense kept them off the field, and from looking too bad in that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Redskins D is ranked in the top as well. Like I said, let us wait till the first 5 weeks are over, we will see where we stand. If we are still Top 10 after playing the Patriots and Eagles on the road, then we will have to take notice. For what it is worth, Eberflus was McDaniels' pick that the Colts wished to honor the contract for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
