Adam Vinatieri Jersey Stitched

OverviewOn December 2nd Youth Denzelle Good Jersey , 2018 the Indianapolis Colts will travel to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. In this week thirteen match-up, I sought to understand our opponent and get a better idea of how they may attack our new-look Colts.The last time these two teams faced off was just three weeks ago when our Colts came away with a close victory. Since that day the Jaguars have fired their offensive coordinator, benched their starting quarterback, they�ve placed a $13,000,000 per year guard on injured reserve and they are seriously starting Ereck Flowers at left tackle. What a magical time to be alive.Let�s figure out what we can expect in week thirteen.Special TeamsKicker:Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsJosh Lambo has turned his career around in Jacksonville. Before being signed by the Jags, Lambo was a career 81% field goal kicker and was 90% on extra points. Since being signed midway through 2017 he has hit 97% of his field goals and 94% of his extra point tries. This season Josh Lambo has been perfect in every game except for his week ten game against our Colts. Lambo missed both an extra point and a field goal. Had he made those kicks, the Jags would have won the game. I don�t think Lambo missed because he was playing the Colts, so we can�t expect that he�s going to miss again this week and he�s still one of the best kickers in the league. I would still rather have Vini. Punter:Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY SportsLogan Cooke only punted three times in our week ten matchup, which was tied for the second fewest punts the Jaguars have had in a game this season. That�s not great for our Colts, what�s worse is Cooke�s 44.0 net yard average. A 44 yard net is good Denzelle Good Jersey Stitched , but I would take it if we can force more than three punts this week. Cody Kessler might grant us more opportunities to cut into that average this week, but if the defense doesn�t play better than in week ten, he might surprise us all. Returner:Steve Flynn-USA TODAY SportsDede Westbrook will return punts and D.J. Chark will return kicks. Both return spots were filled by Jaydon Mickens before suffering an ankle injury that ended his season. Chark returned three kicks and had an average of 36 yards per return and a long of 47 yards. Chark was effective as a returner and I don�t expect anything different this week.Westbrook, only had one opportunity to return a punt and he only gained one yard. He is a much better returner than the Colts allowed, it will be an accomplishment if they can keep him in check again this week. Final Thoughts for The Week:It�s rare in a road divisional game that so many people are predicting a blowout. I don�t think given the Jags lack of an NFL caliber offense, that the Colts lose this game. With that said this Jags defense is good enough to keep the game close and in the event of a one score game, anything can happen. PredictionColts 17Jags 10Draft WatchWhen I started the Draft Watch back up, the Colts were 1-5 and staring at a top 5 pick. I had hopes that somehow, someway they would climb out of the basement and find their way to a pick in the mid 20�s. I hoped that would happen, I didn�t think there was actually a chance it would happen. Right now the Colts are the 7th seed, just outside of the last wildcard spot. As of today the Colts Youth Jack Doyle Jersey , according to Tankathon, are slotted to draft 18th which wouldn�t have seemed possible a month and a half ago. After this week�s slate of games they will be slotted anywhere from 13th to 24th. The next few weeks draft slotting will start to work itself out and we�ll have a much better idea who will be drafting where. In the meantime let�s hope for more Colts wins.Former coach Rick Venturi�s impressions from Colts training camp: Part V - Defense Now that we�re past the halfway point of training camp, we�re starting to get a read on the strengths and weaknesses of the 2018 Indianapolis Colts roster. Some young players have made an impression, free agent additions have started to show how they might contribute to the team, and a bit of personality has started to take shape in the most physical training camp practices that have been reported for many years.As we approach the first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, Bob Kravitz sat down to interview former Colts head coach Rick Venturi to get his thoughts. Venturi has decades of football coaching experience at every level of competition and shared some insight into some of the highs and lows on the roster and provided some perspective on realistic expectations for Luck, the coaching staff, and the team in 2018.A Defense Full of Question-MarksThe Indianapolis Colts have failed to figure out how to play consistent defense for a long time. The best Colts defense in recent memory, not counting the short run in the 2006 playoffs, was in 2004 � over a decade ago. The 2004 team featured a defensive line featuring a young Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis with Montae Reagor and Raheem Brock. This group was particularly disruptive behind the line of scrimmage. The linebackers included Rob Morris, Cato June Jack Doyle Jersey Stitched , David Thornton and Gary Brackett � easily the best group at this position at any time since. The secondary included Mike Doss, Bob Sanders, Idrees Bashir, Nick Harper, Jason David, and Donald Strickland. Nearly every position in the secondary was filled with an adequate to strong player.This season, there are few positions with known quantities. Even positions with players who have shown promise have questions about recovery from injury or development. Venturi said:Needless to say, it isn�t overly inspiring to refer to your �known quantities� as solid but �not an impact player� and a real solid �number two guy.� Importantly, there are key spots that are integral to being successful in the Tampa 2 defense and it is hard to accurately predict just what the Colts have at those positions. Venturi added:Again, Venturi refers to Autry as a player who hasn�t made the kind of impact the Colts will need from the position. He refers a collection of three options to fill the role played by Simeon Rice. None of these players are at the level of Rice or Sapp and that creates reason for uncertainty. Across the board, the Colts are trying to get more out of players than they have shown in the past.Venturi moved to the next level and discussed what could be the biggest question-mark for the defense heading into the new season Youth Adam Vinatieri Jersey , the linebackers. He said:The Colts will rely on a smaller school prospect to make a major transition at one of the most important positions for a Tampa 2 defense. It will also asking a serviceable veteran to carry a heavy load. If one other player can break through in the rotation it will certainly help but coming into the season, none of the linebacker spots are filled with known quantities.I still stand firmly in the camp that John Simon is being misappropriated at defensive end in this system. He does not project to play the position long-term and the defensive reps need to go to the players who Chris Ballard and the front office see as the future at the position. Admittedly, reports out of camp suggest that he has been outplaying my expectations but in terms of the talent level of the starting defense overall, Simon has to be on the field. The most logical way to get him on the field is to put him at the Sam position. He can have a similar impact in that role and appears clearly better, and more athletic, than any other option available at this time.Arguably the strongest position on defense for Indianapolis heading into 2018 is riddled with question-marks of its own. A safety group of Malik Hooker, Clayton Geathers, and Matthias Farley looks great on paper but will they stay healthy and what can we expect from them in return from injury? Venturi commented:If Geathers and Hooker return at full strength and can make the kind of impact that many expect they can make, it will go a long way to mask some weaknesses elsewhere on defense. Geathers could help mask weakness at linebacker by spending more time in the box. Hooker can help mask some weaknesses on the defensive line and at cornerback by punishing quarterbacks who try to push the ball downfield. Finally, Venturi briefly discussed the cornerbacks before Kravtiz�s phone died and cut their interview short. He said:Not unlike most other positions, there isn�t a question about effort or even potential at corner. The question is Adam Vinatieri Jersey Stitched , how much known talent do the Colts have at the position? Very little is proven at this point. Quincy Wilson showed a lot of potential as a rookie but struggled through injury and an odd relationship with the former coaching staff. Pierre Desir hasn�t been able to hold down a starting spot and is coming off of an injury. Nate Hairston and Kenny Moore are entering their second seasons and haven�t had a chance to put together enough tape to feel confident. Beyond that, all of these players are playing in a new system. Gone are the trusted veterans, Vontae Davis and Rashaan Melvin, and in their place is young and unproven. Come to think of it, that�s life just about everywhere on the Colts defense. The Renaissance is here, but what will it look like?
