Colts Speed Rushers

[Matabix]

Need opnions.

Did Turay show us enough that he is capable of double digits sacks or still to early to tell. My opnion is he's inconsistent but showed flashes of what could be.

Also who is our other speed rushers or we all power?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think it’s to early to tell. This next season will show a lot. Mathis seems to like him so we will see if he develops. 

[Jdubu]

I absolutely think Turay has several of the same traits that Mathis had at an early stage. I am not sure if he has the ability yet to get double digits this year without another partner to help split up the concerns but he has high upside imho. Needs strength and reps. 

[Scott Pennock]

Speed rushers are Turay, Winbush and Phillips, everyone else seems to be more power/technique in Lewis, Muhammad and Sheard.

 

I see Lewis and Turay as our bookends by 2020 unless we sign or draft a better player at either spot. Either way I see them both as 8-10 per sack guys....

[Fisticuffs111]

I think he's shown enough to at the very least be a solid rotational piece. One of those guys who could get anywhere from 6-10 sacks per season going forward, especially if he stays healthy.

[Colts_Fan12]

I love Turay personally i just want him to get bigger so he can play the run better and I think he will be a starter. working with Mathis is great too!!

At this moment....   I don’t see s 10 sack player on the roster...

 

I see players who should be 6-8  sack per year players...   Turay, Lewis, Sheard, Autry.  (Yes, I know Autry got 9 sacks last year).

 

And other players who should be more like 4-6 sack a year players.   Hunt,  Muhammad.

 

And, between FA and the draft,  we should pick up at least two or three more pass rushers.   

 

This and more hopefully leads to a better defense.

It's not necessary to have a 10 sack player if they could all just take turns sacking the QB.

The ol sack by committee.

While maybe not in the category of a speed rusher.  I think people are forgetting Jihad Ward .  That kid is good .   he is averaging a half sack a game.   Which puts him at 8 a season.  And they can move him around the line .  Like Houston does with Clowney/Watt . Obviously not on their level  but still a very good player.  

 

I want to add to the D line in the draft, but I don't hate what is already in place with Lewis Turay Ward Sheard Autry and Hunt.  There is some talent and good rotation there.  Lewis is going to be a beast IMO

   I was thinking the same thing. I was at the Washington game and he jumped “off the page” with his quickness for a big man (I think he’s in the 290 range.)

  They’ve got some talent now but I still hope they go Dline in the first (preferably a DE) and a DT in the second with WR being the other 2.

Yes, this! Ward is underrated, and I think once he comes back from injury, he'll prove to be even better than last year. 

 

Keep those guys fresh and rotating out. Ballard has said he values DL / OL most of all, and Reich said he loved that Philly rotated so much talent in and out as well.  

[Matabix]

Sounds like most are in agreement with Turay. With the game on the line and you know there passing do we have the personel or do we need another that maybe is just a sack specialist?

[Douzer]

I'm expecting the D-Line to get 2 additions in the earlier rounds of this draft and another via Free Agency. At least one of those three will be a strong edge rusher IMHO.

[CR91]

if we draft Brian Burns, this should be played everytime he gets a sack

Agree with this.
