23 things to watch in Colts vs. Panthers game

Joel A. Erickson

Indianapolis Star

 

18. Indianapolis must find an answer at its third cornerback position, a spot where Tony Brown struggled mightily against New Orleans last week. The Colts went with Brown, a special teamer with little defensive experience over the past five seasons, because of the struggles of second-year cornerback Darrell Baker Jr. But after last week, Indianapolis might need to go back to Baker. The Colts also have recently claimed rookie Ameer Speed on the practice squad and former Falcon Darren Hall on the practice squad.

 

19. If the Colts wanted to go with a three-safety look, Indianapolis could get second-year safety Nick Cross on the field, but the Indianapolis defense has seemed resistant to that plan so far.

 

20. Free safety Rodney Thomas II has struggled with consistency this season, and he’ll have to be better to avoid some of the coverage busts that have plagued the Colts defense in recent weeks.

Looks like the Colts are going to try and make lemonade out of lammons.

I don’t know why Kenny Moore couldn’t slide outside

I want to see us run 3 safeties

 

Thomas FS - Cross SS - Blackmon Slot

 

move kenny outside

Jones opposite kenny

 

in 4-3 base kenny and jones outside

Gus and him are on record saying he gets higher value inside, but might be better to put blackmon or cross in the slot.

I'm sure the Colts want to keep the Panthers guessing about who they will start at the third cornerback start.

Seems to make the most sense. Even with that, I hope Bradley is prepared to bring some pressure on Sunday.

You must have a short memory.  Moore doesn't do well on the outside, even though he wants to get paid like an outside corner.

When has Kenny ever looked good on the outside?  He needs to stay in the slot, in my opinion.

Do you think he is worse than Baker

imo it opens us to blitz more. honestly when your corners are that bad, 3 safeties might be the best option

he doesn't do well, but is it worse than baker or brown?

Well the problem then is you have a hole at slot, and  now  a bad CB on the outside, creating an extra deficiency.

3 Safety sets makes too much sense, since they can't seem to find a 2nd corner, unless they decided they don't like Cross.

I wouldn't hold your breath on Bradley blitzing, we are lowest in the league when it comes to blitz rate.

If he wasn't ruled out, this wouldn't even be a question asked. Brents is the starter when healthy.  I think he is a key piece to the puzzle and a future stud at cb
