Safety Ricky Jean-Francois cut by the Colts

Recommended Posts

Turns 29 in November. Last season, Pro Football Focus rated him as the 26th best 3-4 defensive end in all of football.

He was the Defensive MVP of the 2008 BCS National Championship Game (had a monster game in LSU's victory over Ohio State...six tackles, 1.5 tackles for losses, a half sack and blocked a field goal), he was also the guy that blocked the FG at the end of the 2008 LSU v Alabama game with time expiring that sent the game to overtime

This dude any good? Started 13 games at safety for the Colts last year. That's literally all I know.

*Nevermind, he's a fuging DL. Link I was reading evidently wrong. Told ya I didn't know anything about the dude.

Well, question remains. Dis dude any good?

Colts defense was barely more effective than a speed bump.

Sports Illustrated when Colts signed him:

"Ricky Jean-Francois headed into free agency as one of the more coveted players available. ... his versatility meant that both teams of 3-4 and 4-3 defenses could use him. ... The Colts won the race Thursday, signing the 26-year-old Jean-Francois to a four-year deal with a reported $22.5 million ($5.6M/yr)...this goes down as a very solid signing for a team on the rise, but one that could be too costly."

    • I don't think anybody with a brain thought or thinks we are a legit super bowl contender this year.  I do LOVE the young core group that is forming. Part of the reason I defend Bryce Young is that if he is not good enough, we're going to waste a lot of this young talent we have anyway.  You don't go from 5-12 to super bowl contender in one offseason unless you get a major injury back or get an insane free agent haul. We currently can't hang with the best teams in the league.  We are also much closer than we were 365 days ago. Progress is good. There's still an outside shot at the playoffs, but I am really excited to see what Dan Morgan does with this offseason. Rico Dowdle a big decision. Jalen Coker, Brycen Tremaine, Cade Mays, Austin Corbett, Brady Christensen, Nick Scott and Christian Rozeboom are the guys we have to make decisions on. But this rebuild should be over next August. Or we have to do it again.  Improvements needed at pass rush and linebacker for sure.  Expecting us to win a super bowl this year is like expecting a kindergartener to do calculus. Is it possible? I guess so. but 99.9% shot it aint happening. We played like doo-doo against the bills, but that was definitely a penciled in loss from the day the schedule came out. Candidly though, if Bryce is ever going to be it, next year is the year we need to start being really good. 
    • Yeah he put us in too big of a hole in which we had to pass more.  3rd and long with a slow roll out and he tried to tuck in and run with a fumble in the redzone.  3rd and long with an INT on our side of the field.  Then we get to like the 10ish yard line with less that 30 second and no timeouts (even Greg said we have to try to quick throws here), what does Dalton do?  Take a sack allowing us to barely rush a FG out (which missed due to being rushed).  You absolutely can't take a sack there.  Throw in getting sacked 6 additional times with 2 additional turnovers.  He also missed TMac on a TD where Shaq was trying to cover him and missed an open JHJ on a big gain.  Box Score watching won't tell the story yet people are going to try to do it anyway.   Now it's pretty clear he isn't the upgrade that some were claiming he is, but they can spin it differently I'm sure.  
    • The combined record of teams we've beaten: 9-21. Some of y'all get fooled so easily.
