Maybe the Colts are switching to 3-4...haha. Would probably be seamless now...especially with who they have added.

I hope it means we're going to have a LOT of looks to throw at opponents.  We need to trick Brady eventually.

Once again this graph shows that Ballard once some very high-level competition. Every one needs to bring their A-game to training camp. With the addition of Green we seem to have a lot of great inside-outside play all across the LB positions. I don't think we'll be complaining about the linebacking position this season. It was a weak spot for us last year so Ballard went out and fixed it

Definitely looks like they're trying to address the problems we've had in pass coverage on crossing routes and rushing the passer as well.

 

Looking like the udfa's will be where we try to address OL depth.

All I know is if I’m on the defensive side of the ball and not named Hooker or Leonard, I’m very very nervous and prepping my resume just in case

Patriots.com had a draft video of him where he appears to be at least a defensive team captain - even above Sweat and Abram....

 

Also a suerior athlete per his RAS Score.

 

With Ballard, Dodds and Hogan comparing these draft picks to historically successful players it's just a matter of their mental game beyondcthat as to whether they'll fit in.

Yeah I agree. You can see what Ballard was talking about when he got here. There will be competition EVERYWHERE. I'm definitely a fan because he's preached about how we will constantly try to get better from guy #52/53 on the roster all the way up.

 

We're definitely more 'rangy' and athletic along with speed everywhere on D.

    • No surprise, but these are some low scores. I hope the people who say that CB coverage doesn't matter that much in this system if the pass rush is adequate are right.   Cornerbacks - Coverage Brents 50.1/105th Jones 36.5/125th (of 128)   Safeties - Coverage Thomas 60.0/65th Cross 49.6/87th (of 99)  
    • Has all the makings of a trap game, unfortunately.   Love being out is getting the headlines, but the Colts might also be missing their best defensive player (DeFo), their best S (JB) and one of their starting ERs (Paye).   And one thing that might be overlooked is that while Willis hasn't passed well, he can run. We haven't seen this defense against a mobile QB like that since Week 3 of last year. In that game, Lamar went for 101 yards and 2 TDs on the ground.   So expect to see some designed runs from Willis and frustration when he converts 3Ds.   And after how HOU ran all over the Colts, GB might not even have to pass all that much, so Willis' deficiency as a passer is mitigated. And it's only going to be more difficult with key injuries/limited players on defense., including arguably their best two run defenders in DeFo and Paye.   GB is also a SB contender and need to get back to 1-1. This game ias at Lambeau Field, where GB has a really high winning % and have won 11 straight home openers.   I would love to see a blowout, but I think it's close. I will go with the Colts winning 20-17 because the offense can score just enough to win. And 0-2 would be a depressing start to the season.
    • Patience is a virtue.  They were banging on Fries right out of the gate.  Not all players will work out and all players do not develop the same.  We all know that.
    • I wonder what Gus's excuse is for playing 5 yards off man ON THE GOALINE.     I mean cmon....Like Lombardi said, it was a high school play.  
    • They are due for it. But the Ravens and Texans will also be in play.   It will be those Top 4 dogs in play for the SB from the AFC when it is all said and done - Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Texans
