Geathers has been excellent the last 2 games after a rocky first game against the Bengals. He has had 22 tackles in his last 2 games with 13 of them solo. He is a good strong safety.

 

Hooker is a little rusty but he will get there. The Redskins game was a complete right off as Smith was never going to test him. Hooker made a good pass break up when tested yesterday.

Hooker may take a bit of time.

 

I don't see the tremendous closing speed that made him a star at Ohio State

and his few games here......  he may be healing as he goes

 

We need him to get there

 

Geathers had some good tackles yesterday, but he seems like a step or two slow this year

 

This defense needs BOTH of these safeties to play at a high level

Some of our downfield coverage is quite suspect...we have given up more plays than we should and Hooker seems to be a little scattered out there and unsure of himself. It's improving and that's good but the secondary has got to do a better job in coverage for sure.

After watching the highlights I agree, I feel Hooker seemed a little scattered or not confident.  That TD saving pass break up and tackling angles were encouraging at least.

Both playing really well.

 

That low shoulder roll cut tackle Hooker seems to do has me worried sometimes when he’s the last man to beat. Sooner or later people are going to expect it and vault him. I’d rather he wrapped up and lost another yard or 2 on forward progress than gave up touchdowns by making a poor cut tackle he can’t recover from.

 

Just my 2 cents.

Seems to me that team are avoiding Hooker. Maybe that's why his name doesn't get called often.

teams will probably always avoid him somewhat, especially after he gets more ints.  he needs to get his speed back and make great reads to be a factor

I must be missing what the rest of you guys are watching, all I see is a freak athlete.

 

That's one play, a HIGHLIGHT play, and I acknowledged it already.  It might have been because it was wet, but there was just some plays he looked hesitant on.  Trust me, I'm on the Hooker bandwagon. And I'm no analyst.  That's just what I saw when I watched the game highlights.  My eyes may have failed me :D.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
