The other side of the ball
There's alot to be optimistic about on the offensive side of the ball for a change, but I can't shake the feeling that the Geathers/Hooker injuries are going to continue to be a problem for this season. And with a deficit of proven talent on D, that will be a significant problem for this new unit's development...........I hope I'm wrong but this just feels like the unwarranted optimism they had for Luck playing last season..........
“I think it will be good and because of the way the offseason goes where there are a couple guys where you get close and they’re probably close, but it’s like let’s just wait until training camp, get everybody out there, be at full strength,” Reich said. “That’s what we’re hoping and optimistic for because it’s a long grind.” https://coltswire.usatoday.com/2018/...training-camp/ |

I like the talent in the backfield. Based on their new head of athletic performance I'm optimistic about Hooker and Geathers. Wilson is going to be good for a long time. Desir and Hairston can be effective, especially if the new scheme fits their skill sets.
Beyond that though, this roster is a big question mark at best, and a shit show at worst. I'll never support cutting Hankins or Anderson. Our DTs went from a roster strength to a weakness for no reason. Our DEs will be mediocre. Our LBs haven't been good for over a decade. We'll get run on badly again this year, that's nothing new. |

I'm interested to see how Basham looks in Year 2 + a 4-3. He showed some good speed off the edge a few times last year and I want to see if it translates into consistent pressure this go around.

I don't know what they cut those guys on the DL either
Most of the D is a big question mark We may be back to the days of needing to score 30+ to win. Which will be frustrating. But it will still be more exciting and keep me more interested than the shitshow we watched last year. |

Even though Reich is a rookie head coach, I believe he's already better than Pagano ever was. That right there will be an added bonus and improvement for the team.

Unfortunately agree about the defense. I just don’t know what we have. Maybe this will work out but I’m hoping I don’t have to watch games being lost because people run all over us. I think with all these young guys the first part of the year may be ugly. Hope I’m wrong again. Still looking forward to the season. At a minimum I hope I get to enjoy watching players mature It’s fun to see guys become good

I'm hoping he's better. But until you see the guy in action, you never know. There are some people who are terrible decision makers under pressure. Reich has shown he's good on the field, so lets hope that's going to continue.
