From Colts.com:
- Sanchez’s net punting average of 43.2 is the third best in the NFL, which is thanks to good placement and coverage, as the Colts allow just 4.5 yards per punt return. That also ranks third among qualified punters.
- Opposing teams simply aren’t throwing the ball anywhere near Hooker this season, his second in the NFL. Hooker’s 138.0 coverage snaps per reception allowed figure is the highest among all safeties in the NFL. When in coverage, Hooker has been targeted just three times total, allowing two receptions for 36 yards, and picked off the other pass attempt thrown his way.
- Kenny Moore II has the 13th most coverage snaps from the slot position in the NFL, but has allowed the fourth-fewest receptions (14) among that group. His 63.1 passer rating allowed ranks second, and his two interceptions are in a three-way tie for the most in the league in that group.
- According to PFF, “Leonard currently ranks sixth among the 120 linebackers who’ve seen at least 50 defensive snaps this season in terms of overall grade, and he’s the only linebacker in football who owns a grade of at least 75.0 in both coverage and run defense. Much has been made about Leonard’s lofty tackle totals, but if you look a bit deeper into that total it’s even more impressive: Leonard leads all linebackers with 34 total stops and his 4.4 missed tackle percentage ranks seventh-best among the 68 linebackers who’ve made at least 20 tackles this season.”
- At Rutgers, Turay had roughly half the number of pass-rush snaps as some of the more highly-touted edge guys in this year’s draft class, like Bradley Chubb, Marcus Davenport and Harold Landry. Through the first eight games of his NFL career, Turay has the second-most total quarterback pressures of anybody in the 2018 NFL Draft class with 25, which trails Bradley Chubb — the fifth-overall pick — who has 32. Turay’s also done his damage with 31 percent fewer snaps than Chubb (414 snaps).
- Both head coach Frank Reich and offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo have sang Kelly’s praises in recent days, and for good reason. Kelly has allowed just one sack, two quarterback hits and three hurries to this point of the season. He is PFF’s sixth-best overall rated center in the NFL through eight games.
- Hines, as advertised, has been all over the field for the Colts’ offense so far this season. He’s had 246 snaps from the backfield, 18 from the slot receiver position and 33 lined up out wide.
- Ebron was also advertised as someone who could line up in multiple spots and be effective as a pass catcher, and that, too, has been the case so far. Ebron has lined up in more of an inline, traditional tight end spot 119 times, but has been used much more in the slot, with 174 snaps there. He also has 43 snaps lined up out wide. Whatever the Colts are doing is obviously working, as he leads all NFL tight ends with seven touchdown receptions to this point.
- Luck’s numbers when facing a clean pocket so far this season? 172-of-247 passing (69.6 percent) for 1,658 yards (9.68 yards per completion) with 18 touchdowns to four interceptions.
Buckle up, Colts fans. The ride in the 2nd half of the season is going to wild! :)
The future is so bright, I gotta triple up! :cool::cool::cool:
