Colts Pick Tim Fugger (DE)

[Captain Americolt]

So Nobody wants a CB. Ive seen that in every thread. Maybe Dennard is off everyones board after he punched a cop thats why hes falling so dang much. I hope we could get him with the mr. Irrelevant pick. You think that 1 girl would like it?

[HtownColt]

Carter is not backing up Brown. They'll be sharing snaps with Brown getting the nod for most of them.

thats a nice way of saying backing up

[ColtsPacersfan]

Great another Defense player. I like this pick we needed help on the defense. I also liked the last pick as well. The RB had be head scratching. But I have faith in Grigs, Pags, and Irsay. Unlike Polian whoever it was the eldest or the youngest drafting in the past few years. I can't wait until the draft grades comes out. I think the Colts will get a pretty good grade. Now lets hit the FA market see if we can get some veteran talents.

[esmort]

I'm there with you, but I'm curious to discover what they saw in those 3 that we're not seeing...

I agree I would love to see their draft board, because some of our picks seemed out of left field.

[Andy]

thats a nice way of saying backing up

No it's not because Carter is getting a good amount of snaps. It's not like he's never seeing the field.

[NewEra]

Love this fugger already!

Awwww, the little one is throwing a tantrum.

[jemack]

It's pronounced Few-ger for inquiring minds

CBS sports has it pronounced Fug-er

if your not on the starting 11 that means your 2nd on the depth chart which means your backing up somebody.doesnt mean your not getting a good amount of playing time just means your behind somebody on a depth chart

Ha! We all have our opinions. Mine are just smarter

They'll be sharing snaps... it's not really backing up. We have two meanings of backing up, but I see them as sharing snaps. A backup is a player that plays behind a guy, rarely or never sees the field and only goes in when the guy is injured. That's not Carter.

[Warhorse]

only thing this dude is going to challenge for is a roster spot or practice squad spot

And this is different from most 7th round picks how?

Interesting. Multiple pronunciations

I was going off of this.

I figured his college announcers would have the right pronunciation.

[unvrsty07]

Looks like this kid embraces hitting someone I like it

Come on, Andy. If you're not a starter, you're a backup. The only positions this is bendable for is slot receiver/tight end/fullback, which are situational positions. But on the depth chart, Brown will be #1, and Carter will be #2. He's a backup running back.

[LightninMax]

It appears to me that the Brain Trust is taking what they believe to be BPA within a priority stucture of importance. They are systematically creating depth within each aspect of the defense, pass, and run attack. They're just getting to defense and looks like CB/S will be last in line.

[Deano1818]

I like it.......

Need some passion

thats not backing up what you talking about thats desperation lol...its like a basketball team you dont play with the same 5 the whole game no you use your backups..if your not backing up somebody your starting or not playing at all you wouldnt call Tebow a starter(for now) no he is the back up

[jemack]

Do you think they'd pronounce his name correctly on TV?

Talk about a fugger waiting to happen.

[MAC]

What am I missing? I'm looking at a draft guide with 889 players evaluated, and he's not one of them. NFL.com itself doesn't even give him a grade. Did we really need to use a draft pick to get him?

[HtownColt]

And this is different from most 7th round picks how?

i was responding to everybody above me talking bout he a potential starter in the offseason which is ridiculous

[coltsfanatic24]

Really want a CB!!! C'mon, Griggs!! Havent we all punched a cop in the face at one point??

we have a good trio of cb's that will play much better under chuck pagano's hybrid defense. powers,thomas,rucker are all great in man coverage but we used them wrong last year.

Well, then he's a backup that's getting quite a bit of snaps. Either way, we're arguing over nothing.

Fugger is a german name, the Fugger family was a famous merchant family

[WesurehavesomeLuck]

I can assure you two out of the three or maybe all three will be available when we pick.

well dennard is gone

[Nobody]

Thomas is terrible in man, and this new scheme requires CBs a lot more.

[Charliemac24]

Dennard is off the board like grigson cant be serious not to pick a quality corner when we had so many chances....smh dont make sense seriously....how many corners do we have 3...smh

[HtownColt]

Thomas is terrible in man, and this new scheme requires CBs a lot more.

how do you know he didnt even get a fair chance Jim Caldwell just threw him in the fire towards the end of the season..He deserves a fair shot this year along with Rucker if they dont show flashes in preseason then you can judge him but at least give him a fair chance

[Nobody]

How is wanting a CB in the 7th not giving our CBs a fair chance?

im not talking about that im talking about flat out saying he's terrible in man and all that.he didnt even get a fair chance..

Then, why isn't there a pronunciation symbol over his name?

[jvan1973]

Is his middle name "Motha". Just askin!

I will be calling him Moe.. Timmy "Moe" Fugger

[jemack]

I will be calling him Moe.. Timmy "Moe" Fugger

I havn't bought a jersey since '87. But if he becomes a starter, I will buy his jersey and customize it to ("Mo" Fugger).

PRICELESS

Thanks. I found info on him online - including the online version of my draft guide - but still. Apparently he was utterly ignored by everyone until his pro-day in late March, by which point the draft guide had already gone to press. Lots of players slide up/down in the last few weeks of the draft season, but for somebody to come from completely off the radar and warrant a draft pick is pretty bizarre.

[WSnotch]

Name is pronounced Few-ger. lol

[chad72]

http://www.nfldrafts...=2012&genpos=DE

He is on this, Tim Fugger from Vanderbilt

Sorry, but us Yankee pigs want our fun..... Please?

[dgambill]

He looks like a very good special teamer. I don't see him really being an answer at OLB...can we work him into the middle? IDK

Seems like he would be better size wise as a ILB. IDK if he is strong enough or big enough to really be effective rushing the passer. Maybe others have a better perspective of the kid.
