Samuel Womack getting the start in week 4?

He's small, but fast.....

Seems like a Kenny Moore type of guy. I'm guessing a slot CB

 

 

Strengths

 

Three-year starter and team captain in 2021.

Finished career with a whopping 41 pass breakups.

Able to post receiver with his jab all the way through press release.

Good ball/man eye balance from off coverage.

Dexterity to swerve and pivot in cadence with the route.

Searches for tells from wide receiver inside the route.

Shortcuts route breaks to find plays on the football.

Very fast and plays with good short-area twitch.

 

Weaknesses

 

Below-average tackle strength and toughness.

Loose with footwork from his backpedal.

Not always technically sound in his coverage.

Fails to keep feet under him, leading to slips in transitions.

High-cut frame limits body control to shadow from a shuffle.

Losses come when he fails to properly locate the football.

Needs to maintain poise and keep from grabbing downfield

 

Overview

 

Former walk-on who has developed into a ball-hawking slot defender. Womack has eye-popping speed and quickness with above-average ball production as a three-year starter. He's a natural at searching for clues and utilizing quality pathways to play the throw. Inconsistent technique and a lack of poise and positioning downfield are areas of concern that might not be easily correctable with coaching. Womack is not strong against the run, but he's sticky from press and instinctive from zone, which gives him a chance to compete for a roster spot.

Much better throughout his career when he has played outside as opposed to slot even though his body type would suggest the opposite. On paper an upgrade over Flowers even though Flowers has so few snaps we still really dont know what we have yet. Flowers hopefully regains his pre injury burst, we havent quite seen that yet.

He’s a playmaker.  Similar to Jones I would say.  I was expecting this.  He’s good that’s why two other teams put in a claim for him.

 

Since he is fast, his utility value on special teams could also be a reason for the waiver claims, in addition to his CB play. We just have to hope the CB play aspect of his holds up.

I'm excited for what he can bring.  He goes after the ball.  He along with Moore, Blackmon and Jones are players who are always looking for the interception.  If these four stay healthy i'm expecting more turnovers.

I don’t think he will miss the game. Womack started last week too I believe 

He didn’t , Flowers did. Womack only played 28 snaps and Flowers played a total of 41. Womack came in when Flowers got banged up.

Size and speed similar to Rogers. 

Not a Ballard guy, so it makes me hopeful.

Lol this made me chuckle, I’m right there with you man.

Womack has 2 starts on the season while Flowers has yet to start a game.

    • Colts need to run to the outside more this game. Not up the middle with Hayward.
    • 5 to 10, let's do it again (or do it for the first time!!)
    • If they play man AR will burn them. Young QB usually struggle with zone as we seen last week.  You are correct. You run towards watt. That’s how we neutralized him last season.   This doesn’t seem like it will be the week where the secondary is tested but if Kenny cant go it could be different. Our dline depth is being tested.
    • The NFL is a passing league.  Running is for killing the clock, for which you need to have a running game/RB powerful enough to run the ball when the opposing D knows you are going to run the ball.  Teams don't really need a big play running game. That is a separate issue from ARs play.   Since last year was a throw away year that followed a 4-12 season to focus on ARs development , that we did not get, this year should be that year.  Why would there be any complaints about that?   But, there needs to be better time of possession so AR can get more reps, not because we should be winning games in a season where we still don't have good enough personnel to contend for anything beyond a weak AFC South division title.
    • Good work, I dont agree with a few things, but thanks for the read   IMHO   We have depth for future and current very good OL We have depth and good starters at WR I THINK that we have 2-3 decent players at TE   I see our same 5 next year on OL   2 Years from now? The rookies this year will fill in     On Defense   We need interior DL help in the draft next year I hope we go early and get a blue chip   After week 1 and 2, I was ready to dump both LBs Week 3 they both played better, but I am ready for some new players in the offseason   I admit I was wrong about our safety room. Our two starters are decent players We need depth   At CB we need to add depth as well, And if a stud CB is available in round 2 or 3, I am fine with it       I really feel bad for Pittman, he needs an accurate QB to shine   Maybe AR can become that guy   (I hope)
