danlhart87 7,467 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Colts traded for Buckner and he has far surpassed my expectations. The Titans came to town and put a whooping on the Colts without Buckner. Henry alone rushed 27 times for 178 yards (6.6 YPC) You take those numbers and subtract them from the yearly average and that leads you to 270 attempts to 943 yards (3.5 YPC) And finally to further push the envelope Titans Derrick Henry ran 19 times for 103 yards (5.4 YPC) with Buckner in lineup. He alone makes the D better and has helped turn this team around. We all saw the difference he makes this past Sunday and all of you should understand Ballard trading 13. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
chickenMan 600 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Buckner and Leonard are my current two. Maybe Hines as well. I don’t think we win seven games without those three Link to post Share on other sites

07dleigh 64 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I can agree with Buckner. 32 may be second for me, before Leonard . He seems to make everyone in the secondary better like you see with the top tier free safeties. MAN he was sooooo close to making that play on MVS in the 4th. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Orioles22 287 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 So he has tested negative all week? It seems that way be worth a note for anyone reporting about the Colts. No updates on Castonzo or Okereke? Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, he's been DROY, all pro, pro bowler, nfl tackles leader etc right off the bat so a solid/good overall but not great season is seen as an off year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Something to factor in is that he now has Buckner in front of him who is making plays before the ball carrier gets to the linebackers so it’s only natural for his numbers to go down a little. In this case that’s a good thing. The way I see it the Colts now have two true studs on defense in Buckner and Leonard. Moore isn’t far behind them. If he was an every down corner he’d probably be up there with them but still Kenny is a really good player. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Totally random, but Kenny for whatever reason reminds me of our old boy Jennings that we loved to hate for years. Simply in terms of scrappiness/toughness. Link to post Share on other sites

No. Has he been as good as he thinks he is? No. But is he a large reason why we’ve won so many games this year? I absolutely think so. Leonard isn’t just skills and playmaking either; the leadership and energy he brings to the team is invaluable Link to post Share on other sites

What a treat as a colts fan, we get to pick which one of our star players is the MVP, hard to argue Buckner is a monster. Link to post Share on other sites
