Jackie Daytona Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I had him on my wish list in draft season as a possible sleeper pick..... glad to see Colts have added him to the practice squad, hope he can be a solid backup and ST'er next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZColt11 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I did as well being a Hoosier fan. I saw he got cut by the Bolts and thought we might have picked him up before now. He's not the fastest guy but he's a tackling machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeedrinker Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Reading his NFL.com profile, it reads just like Matt Adams and Zaire Franklin's. He's just quite a bit slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoose Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Except Morrison couldn't cover his grandmother. Hopefully Scales has better instincts. That can neutralize the speed issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Adams and Franklin were in that 4.55 range if I remember. Scales was at 4.77. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison didn't have great timed speed but he's fast enough to play in the NFL. Morrison just looked slow because he took forever diagnosing the play and was hesitant to stick his nose in there. That does not seem to be case (at least from the scouting report) with Scales. They say is play recognition and diagnostic skills make up for any lack of straight line speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HectorRoberts Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Beween Leonard, walker, Adams and possibly this scales guy we could have a pretty good young linebacker squad here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to this piece on Reddit with a couple of other links... that is not correct. Also I was not using it as an example to say he can't play, just stating that he sounds a lot like Adams and Franklin; team leader, good football intelligence, hard worker, strong, good tackler, etc., just slower.

dodsworth Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 This defense relies on speed because speed kills in the 4/3 defense. Is Scales similar to Morrison? It doesn't hurt to kick the tires..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
