I think the biggest question mark for the colts was the D line. Consistent pressure from the front 4 is quintessential to Bradley's defensive scheme, which is why we went with Latu and picked up a new DL coach. The secondary, while young and needing help, was hung out to try by how long opposing QB's had to get rid of the ball. If the d line gets more pressure and the DB's play exactly the same as last year, it'll already be an improvement.
4th in the league in sacks . Stop
Corners ass
@@dariyus2004 That doesn't mean shit. Very little of those sacks were at meaningful times.
How can you say the biggest question mark was the d line when we had multiple injuries in the secondary and had practice squad players playing at CB
What are you talking about it definitely was and is the secondary your lost
Great job guys. Been watching for a couple years now.
No offense to Rodney Thomas, I'm sure he's a great guy and all but he should never play another starting snap for the Colts again. The only time he should see the field again is if we're up by a lot of points in a blowout and Steichen pulls the starters. He can come in with the 2nd string players. As far as Nick Cross goes I believe his natural position is strong safety and no way am I playing him over Julian Blackmon who outplayed him last year. Justin Simmons needs to be our starting free safety this upcoming season. I would feel more confident if the Colts fielded this secondary: CB1 JuJu, CB 2, Jaylon Jones, SCB Kenny Moore, FS Justin Simmons, SS Julian Blackmon.
I think Dallas Flowers will be CB2 and Jones will be a depth guy behind Brents and Flowers but other than that I totally agree
I like Cross at SS. I don't trust him in space (yet), but he fits the run pretty well and can thump a little.
I do agree. I'm just hoping that we get that one piece at free safety. I feel like that's all we really need.
Gus Bradley mentioned both Thomas and Cross in his presser. Corner is a bigger concern. One injury to Juju or Flowers and it's back to the Baker jr show. At least Thomas has had some success in year 1
Name any team that’s not 2 corners away from having mid corners? 😅
Jalen Simpson looks great we got him from auburn could be a great safety
I knew we weren’t going corner in the draft. Ballard really is straightforward and telegraphs his moves. Whenever he says “I like our guys” you can bet that we’re not going to draft that position. I think what’s going to happen is he’s going to see what he has in camp and in Daniel Scott. And if he feels what we have is adequate, he won’t sign anyone at FS. But if he doesn’t like what he sees, we’ll grab someone from FA.
Scott is a smart player who actually has instincts and gets turnovers unlike Cross who needs to play in the box Scott is a big safety who can run and his tackling is outstanding. People just keep being stupid and making judgements based on draft status. As if Ballard hasn't made several good picks with low round draft picks on D. Ive been saying they know Scott can play. His game is similar to Eric Weddle. One of the things he said about himself in an interview with a Tenn. Titans reporter when asked what set him apart he quickly responded "What i have between my ears" Meaning his instincts, understanding of the game, and ability to diagnose. All very important for a Free Safety.
Ballard did this a couple years ago…and had to admit in his end of year presser he didn’t do enough to solidify the safety position and now he’s doing it again with the safety and cornerback position!
Ballard said they want to look at their Safeties during these practice sessions and if deemed necessary they would bring in a Free Agent later.
I feel like the Colts are going to wait, at this point, until after June 1st. I can see Ballard signing someone after that. Worth the wait if another team can't afford to keep a guy we can use.
Ballard likes to comment on the guys he likes. Ones that aren’t performing as well, he doesn’t mention much. Also, the Colts are actually thinner at safety than CB. Ballard spent some good draft picks on CB in last year’s draft and he expects them to step up their game. Right now, safety looks like the #1 position where the Colts could add a free agent. There’s also no need for Ballard to rush to grab a free agent. He can evaluate who he has and as teams narrow down their rosters to 53, he can pick up a player that gets waived or do a low level trade if needed.
Mo really sure Brent was Second rounder but rush got cut and he was fifth rounder. Jones is a 7th rounder. Flowers undrafted. So really the defense relies heavily on late round guys at cb.
You know what I saw Daniel Scott’s highlights man he has so much potential remember he didn’t play at all last year we have to see what the kid has I have a feeling he’s going to be pretty damn good
You mean just like Nick Cross???
@@frostywarrior4649entirely different players. Scott is a smart player who actually has instincts and gets turnovers. He's a big safety who can run and hit. People just keep being stupid and making judgements based on draft status. As if Ballard hasn't made several good picks with low round draft picks on D
If we are pinning our hope at safety on Scott we are in trouble.
@@HurshRoad nope. And you know that based on what?
The problem with the Colts secondary was injuries and very little pressure on the QB.
Kinda forgot about Daniel Scott lol. We’ll see who wins this spot
Doesn’t matter who wins it. They’re all crappy in that DB room
I’ve thought for a while we sign Diggs
I think corners was biggest issue last yr I know we need to give time for development but they let backups rookies and 3rd strings put massive yds up against us. Some will say cause we don't blitz, but I works together. We can't blitz cause leaves backfield empty. Tho I was hoping for cb first pick. I'm OK with Latu cause he's got enough speed to get to the qb without blitz. We had alot of sacks last yr without blitzing so I think we need a good cb. Kenny Moore could be the guy but to many times we play him in a versatile role and don't let him be dedicated back he can go one on one with almost any reciever.
The Colt's just signed UDFA Safety Craig Young.
Here's the thing, 1st Ballard doesn't tell the media everything he's thinking or planning. 2nd why mention a guy that got benched last yr or the guy that replaced him who played decent but not at a true starter level, 3rd if Ballards trying to bring in a vet at FS and it doesn't happen then you've shown Thomas, Cross and Scott he doesn't believe in any of them as the starter but gets stuck with one of them. Why would you show everyone yor hand then make your bet that's just not smart
Ultimately when half the DBs are injured then what..they need to add a veteran on a 1-2 year deal that can help or play at a higher level than the younger guys they have now. This seems to be a constant need either Safety or Corner or both…like almost yearly. I do think had the draft played out differently and we didn’t get the top 2-3 defensive guys on the board they would have went WR CB or CB WR but that’s just my opinion, I don’t get paid by the Colts so I doubt they care what I think lol
It won’t be Scott either. There will be a FA signing.
Hey Cody , Derek been trying to reach out to you guys. Would love to work on a original beat for your intro.😊😊
Xavien Howard will be a Colt!!
I still belive they need a Vet Safety period an maybe a corner 🤔 how u guys see this our defense is the biggest concerns right go Colts Nation
Agree. With JB not being able to stay healthy, we need depth a S at least.
We can say whatever we want about how we trust Chris Ballard but if a injury happens to our secondary room like last year, do us as fans feel comfortable with the secondary that we currently have??? The answer is hell no, Chris Ballard is on some bullshit right now and I'm thinking he's trying to get a good player for the cheap cheap and no free agents is having that
Man Ballard ball suckas is getting worse sad thing about it this dude is way better than the other one matter of fact why name the show bring the juice remind everyone of the Gregson days
I love the Jesus is king sign!
How do you think Jesus feels about genocide?
Here I thought the whole point of the US was denouncing monarchies
Me too. VIVA CRISTO REY!
@@jirikurto3859Please explain the relevance of that to the comment or the video
@@damonr4136 What the fuck does Jesus have to do with this video you fucking fake Christian?
Lol I think you're reaching for content!
Nah just had this thought today and wanted to get it out there
Yeah, but to be fair the sports media does it daily
@@BTJPod I was busting your balls guys. I watch your show everyday. I may not comment everyday but I watch your show everyday. To Cody bro. I really enjoy your content. I don't always agree with Derek, but he's a good guy too. We are all Colts family bro. I'm never going to be mean to you.
@@damonr4136 Bro, no offense when sports media does it. They got way more overhead expenses than a podcast does. They have producers they have to pay. They have all these people that they have to pay so of course they're going to do it and especially since sports is not just fact base news nothing's fact-based news anymore. It's all pinion pieces pretty much. It's like the editorial section of the newspaper. Everybody has their own little spin on it. Lol
@@tank9820 I can't argue with any part of that, especially the fact based part being non-existent nowadays and replaced primarily with opinion based news.
JESUS IS KING hopefully this won't impact the way the NFL feels about our team , u guys know how the media feels about Jesus 😉 GO COLTS !!!
If in the background "Jesus is King" bothers you, then leave the channel.
@@johngloser9423 why would it bother me, I said JESUS IS KING!!! AMEN!!!
Colts, Schmolts - you are sort of blocking part of your JESUS IS KING sign, making it hard to read. One thing you might do is get one that is a little bigger - there is considerable room on screen that is not filled with the sign and that is witness wasted, to my way of thinking. It would be easier to read, which is to say harder to block, if a larger sign making use of every square inch of screen space were used. Alternatively, you might consider using an electronic JESUS IS KING graphic superimposed over the front of the screen. Sure, part of your face would be obscured, but we can still hear pretty well and it's not strictly essential to see every contour of your face to get the gist of all the Coltstalk. Or maybe you could have the JESUS IS KING sign superimposed over the top 7/8 of the screen and a little closed caption reader along the bottom, just so there's no mistake about what is being said. Little Bible verses could be interspersed in between sentences, so there would never be any wasted caption space either. Happy to help. /s
Ballard said nothing about Diggs or Simmons. Those two players are weird youtuber wants, that have nothing to do with football reality in Indy. We have plenty of Safety depth - regardless of what the odd, glib, presumptuous meanderings are asserting on BTJ.
