Ben Banogu

[CaptainColt12]

With Turay out for the year, are we gonna start to see more of Banogu? Or will someone else step up and be replacing Turay as our 3rd pass rusher, or even Houston having to play a lot more snaps, (I mean I feel Houston will play more snaps regardless). Maybe Lewis or Hunt can be moved to the DE position.

Hunt is better as a DE. I think we might see that.

No he's not. That's why he was released from Cincy because he wasn't good outside and they never gave him a shot inside like the Colts did.

Gerri Green getting the call up from P.S to help Banogu, lets see what the rookie draft picks bring on passing downs.

[throwing BBZ]

Hopefully Banogu plays very little. He is far from ready.
Muhammad is the next man up.

[Fisticuffs111]

Probably be AQM.

 

Kinda hoping we move Lewis back to end and see what he can do (never been a huge fan of using him inside). I figure we'll see more of Banogu but I don't think we'll really like what we see from him right now.

I'd love to see the Colts bring Green up from the PS!

Imo, Banogu looked lost as a pass rusher in college and so far in his limited snaps as a pro.

 

Hoping for the best but not getting my hopes up.

There will be times Banogu will be put in, but you are 100% right that he is still very raw and that Muhammad is up. This is pass rush by committee, so it hurts to lose somebody like Turay, but his loss of production can be minimized with others stepping up. I liked what I saw across the entire d-line last night. They were bullying this Chiefs front 5.

To be fair he was not a pass rusher in college, they do absolutely zero to help develop him. The colts didn't even draft him as a true edge rusher but he wanted to be so he worked all off season developing his pass rushing moves and then he got to OTA's and surprised everyone with what he could do. Hes very raw but we drafted him for a different role but he will get better.

This may have been brought up already in another thread, but what is everyone's opinion on why the Colt's D-Line was able to bring so much pressure on Mahomes, but gave Carr all kinds of time last week.  Effort, difference in skill and/size of opponents offensive line, playing more man to man in the secondary, or something else? I can't remember the last time I saw a Colts defense collapse a pocket like that.  Cheers.

I think there s a good chance Ballard signs a DL off a practice squad.

The Raiders have a very good o line this year, Rodney hudson is one of the best centers in the league. Gabe Jackson is massive and just moves people, Trent Brown and Kolton Miller are both solid tackles. The Raiders were able to stop the bears Pass Rush and run all over the best run stopping defense in the league. 

 

Where as the Chiefs, having no more Mitch Morse this year, as well as their new center getting hurt in that game. Average to below average guards, Mitchell Schwartz who is one of the best tackles in the league and Eric Fisher being hurt that game.

They didn't have to worry about the run.  I would think it frees you up when you just have to rush the passer on pretty much every play.

We need to see what Banogu and Tyquan Lewis can do for us at DE with the Turay injury. Hoping that our coaches are putting both players in positions to succeed. 

 

DT needs to be highly addressed next offseason though. Hunt should be replaced, and adding talent at DT who possess more strength and pocket collapsing ability will dramatically help our outside pass rushers and make this a potentially feared DL.

Hunt should never be even considered to play DE.

Tyquan Lewis can't stay healthy, and I don't know if Banogu is ready. Turay took a huge step forward for this season and its sad he's out for the season. Big loss for this team.
