@AHColtsFan18@StampedeBlue Two things can be true. He absolutely improved in the first half of the season, but I wouldn’t say it’s nitpicking when it was a clear weakness of the offense that opponents were going out of their way to attack.
Posting this clip because I'm writing about how Atlanta and Kansas City exposed Jonathan Taylor's decline in pass pro throughout the season and how the Colts were unable to punish pressure like they were in September.
Taylor is a special back. You pay him to carry the ball and score touchdowns.
But it's also not absurd to think having a Zack Moss type of back to compliment him is a good idea.
First 2 weeks of the season DJ was blitzed like crazy thinking he'd struggle like he did in NY.
Anthony Weaver and Vance Joesph paid the price.
Then in Nov., Ulbrich gave the Colts a 41% Blz/Db (highest since Sep).
Spags blitzed at a similar rate.

Not all of this falls on Taylor of course, punishing pressure is an 11-man job. Jones lack of mobility also made it easier to bring pressure.
But the pass pro ability we saw in September was not what he brought to the table late in the year.
I’m sorry, this is a gimmick… this is why I couldn’t stand Robert Saleh with the Jets… show us your TACTICAL advantages ON THE FIELD… no one cares about eliminating seed oil and you running up and down the stairs for the cameras before the game… if the Seahawks or Rams eliminate seed oil, then let me know, maybe it’ll mean something
If you know Chris Ballard you know a scout probably had to not just bang the table, but break that thing in half to draft Caden Curry
Would have the shortest arms of any pass rusher drafted in the last 10 years
George Gumbs is a converted pass rusher who was struggling to get knockback vs. TEs.
It’s a fifth round pick with some athletic upside but I think he’ll start on the practice squad
While I’m glad they did not force a need at DE…
It feels like a rinse and repeat of filling the DL with players who become just good enough to price themselves out of the Colts budget in FA while spending their entire rookie contract developing and not adding value to the Colts
Don’t think I’m adding anything new but Day 2 thoughts..
- CJ Allen is a put it in the fairway pick for this scheme. Love it
- I like Haulcy.. I shouldn’t be shocked they addressed S early, but I was
- This is a Ballard Draft so thinking tomorrow will be virtually all OL/DL
@VeveJones007 No they weren’t… BUT their star 3T is recovering from a herniated disk in his neck at 32, both CBs are coming off injuries— one coming off a very severe string of concussions.
They have a great NT, a FS who played pretty solid, and some intriguing depth pieces. It’s not great
I think it’s more likely than not that the Colts trade out of their pick in the second round.
*On paper* this is a bottom 5 defense in the NFL imo.
You need competition and you need depth fast.
My read on the Kenny Moore situation is that he saw what happened to Shaq Leonard..
And in a year where the Colts are flipping that side of the ball in an attempt to get younger, it’s the perfect time for a clean break with an organization that he clearly loves
If you love Bryson this is great news.
If you hate Bryson this is also great news because he’s a fantastic hate watch.
Either way the PGA wins so I’m happy
🚨👀⛳️ JUST IN — The New York Times is reporting that Bryson DeChambeau and his team spent part of Masters week “meeting with organizations to discuss possible options if he chose to leave LIV.”

@Colt_Hoosier Of course I am. I don’t know him personally, I’m assuming you don’t either.
I think it’s a pretty insecure to win a NC and be so bothered by a podcast clip from a 22 year old months later that you feel the need to go on Twitter
You’d owe me a million dollars then.
I’m sure the IU fans love it. I have no dog in the fight and think it’s very bizarre to coach a national championship defense and be bothered by podcast clips from a 22 year old.
Very insecure thing to do imo.
@ColtsFilmRoom What exactly did he say that's so weird and insecure? Adorable? 😂 Is he not allowed to comment on this? Think he earned the right and the benefit of the doubt to do that much. Be willing to bet a million dollars youre a Purdue fan btw....
