(ONE MONTH LATER) I think that both of these teams (the Texans and the Cowboys) have shown to be good or (at least) pretty good. Those 2 games are my biggest concerns of what remains to be played for the 2018 Colts in the regular season ........ I am also moderately concerned about the Titans game because of the Marcus Mariota factor. o

2nd in the league in points, giving up 18.2 per game. 5th in the league in yards, giving up 318.2 per game. Tied for 4th in 1st downs/game, giving up 18.4. Their D this year is what we can potentially hope for in a year or two. |

There are the people that think we play a Tampa 2 again. There are the people that think any zone coverage is bad and indicates we're going back to the Ron Meeks days. There are the people who think this is a good defense for not spending a lot (that was never true even in the Polian days, but even if it was it would have nothing to do with this defense). I do think the pitfalls of a defense like this are pretty well-known. You can't sit back in zone too much and let a QB slice you up little by little. You can't get away with playing 4 DEs on the DL every snap. You can't vacate the middle of the field and expect to get any stops. But just about any modern NFL defense (read: NOT the Tampa 2) can be successful with good players. What I find interesting is the lack of stars on Dallas' defense. Outside of Lawrence, they don't really have superstars. |

As for that Dallas defense, LVE and Jaylon Smith are becoming two of the best LBs in football. That defense is fast and physical, which is exactly what I think Ballard and Eberflus want. |

I remember Smith being talked about as a top 5 pick before his injury. It's great he's made it this far after shredding all his knee ligaments. Is he a superstar though? Probably not yet. Maybe at the end of this season. Crawford and Irving both seem like good players too. Their CB1 was a first rounder. They have talent. But they're getting it done without selling out like the Jags did.
