Jerraud Powers: Star In The Making, Or Injury Prone Useless Player?

[Andy]

I think Jerraud Powers is a star in the making, and has the potential to be an elite cornerback. IMO, he'll end up better than Hayden. I made this thread wanting to see what the fans think of this guy. So, what do you guys think of him?

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

He is the best CB on the team right now..... and quit frightening people with

the title, Andy! :whew:

[indy_nick]

He's definitely solid and is showing a lot of upside. Lets just hope he stays healthy and doesn't get over-paid like Hayden did. I wish we had one more proven CB but it's time for fresh blood in there. Can't wait to see our secondary mature.

[jonatron]

Yeah, this title had me scared. I thought you were implying he was hurt again.

I think Powers will be (if not already) better than than a healthy Hayden. I am actually really excited about our CB this really. Powers and Tryon are good in man coverage. Both are good tacklers.

Lacey seems to go for the big play (strip balls, interceptions etc.) He got burned a couple of times last year because of this. Needs to be more consistent.

I do not know much about the other guys and anxious to see how our current depth plays out.

Back on the topic of Powers: If Coyer doesn't have these guys playing 10 yards off the line, Powers will be Pro-bowl worthy.

wouldnt call him a star in the making. maybe a top 15 corner in the making. he's definitely better than Hayden.

He's the best corner on our team, how could anyone label him "Useless player" lol?

[GoColts00]

Powers is a very good CB, but one thing i noticed in the pre-season game the other night was he tried to hit hard at the goaline w/o wrapping up! Fundamentals make the difference between good and Pro-Bowl.

[hurricane1122]

future pro bowler for sure.

[Korey]

He is a star already for us. The title had me a little scared...

[JoKeR]

Future probowler or atleast probowl caliber, since it is a popularity contest.

Most CB's do that especially with guys bigger than them like TE's they just try to go for your knees all in all he's a great tackler and had good coverage skills. Definitely the best corner the colts have had in a while.

You can get all your questions answered here

Hopefully he has recovered well from his arm injury. That video made me flip out and dayum eager to see him back in action. Fortunately it wasn't a serious knee injury or something which sometimes players never fully recover from.

[mark_dk]

I feel pumped after watching that hit on Charles!

[coltfaninnewyork]

He has a chance to be very good,hopefully the injury bug is gone.

[21isSuperman]

I don't think anyone on here would label him as a useless player. He is the best corner on the Colts and is, in my opinion, a star in the making

1. Lacey was fantastic his rookie season. People seem to quickly forget.

2. If our front 7 ever would have done their job...seriously, like ever...Lacey's aggressiveness would suddenly become big plays for us and we'd be commending him.

I love Lacey I just think he is a nickle corner at best. That's not a bad thing, in fact for undrafted free agent that's a major acomplishment. I do think Tryon played better than him last year, Tryon had me sold when he went one-on-one with Andre Johnson in the season opener last year and handled him, it was one of the few bright spots in that game.

[SubZero]

you also have to note that powers had a broken bone......those dont become as injury prone as muscles or tendons

[CR91]

doesnt even matter if he makes the pro bowl because he wont be playing
