I wanted the Vikes to sign him. I would have been happy with Minshew too, but I am satisfied with what we have. Now, I could do without the injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to see how Darnold does with a competent head coach and some really solid play makers around him. Obviously he hasn't turned into what he was drafted to be but I think he will look much better in this offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superrep1967 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 How did we get talking to someone else on the Latu thread? This kid is going to be great. We're lucky to have Latu. We better get to the quarterback quite often with our secondary. IMO. But Latu is going to be fun to watch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's not the case at all. Plenty of guys played well, but it's the preseason so you don't get too high and you don't get too low 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Latu both in the short term and for sure the long term. As Baldy said, he's an impact player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKB Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Man Latu is a beast. I think if some young guys can produce, and if we make like 1 signing a lot of the complaints on here would be almost non existent. I am excited for these rookies tbh Anyone else going to the cardinals game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Superman Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 My biggest concern about Latu besides the past neck injury was his size coming into the NFL. I know his technique is Elite but I thought NFL Tackles would be bullying him around because of him being undersized. This guy is ridiculously strong and is only going to get bigger, stronger, and better. That. Is. Scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckner mentioned the size when comparing Latu to Bosa, and he certainly didn't say anything about size disparities. If anything, he mentioned that Laiatu is taller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t mention Bosa by size, he was talking about Bosa’s big reputation and similar playing style. Buckner said he was telling that to Ballard the other day, that Latu compared favorably to Bosa.

NCF, Around a minute in, Buckner says, and I'm quoting verbatim "One thing I can say, I mean, he's a little taller than Nick but uh, um..he just, he's slippery".

NewColtsFan Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 What are we debating? Buckner goes on to say he was talking with Ballard about comparing Latu to Bosa. He wasn’t talking with Ballard about size. He was talking about ability. I’ve already noted that Latu is an inch taller. That isn’t the point of Buckners comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt.45 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Bout time the Colts had another blue chipper at DE. Been too long, 98 and 93 have been retired for a hot minute. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latu was always going to be ahead of the curve, because his polish is his calling card. Most of Ballard’s edge rushers that have been drafted have been guys with athletic upside but no polish. Latu is the first pass rusher we drafted that was already a nuanced pass rusher to come out, plus had the athletic profile. Also 96.3 PFF Grade. I don’t think people realize how great of a pick he was. This is the first time since maybe Taylor that the Colts drafted the undisputed best guy at the position. That’s why Ballard was laughing maniacally on draft day saying “We got the best freakin rusher in the draft” on WTNP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
