Colts president Polian offers high praise for new coordinator Meeks

CHARLOTTE – Ron Meeks may have left the Indianapolis Colts, but you aren’t going to hear his former boss Bill Polian utter a disparaging remark about him.

Polian, the Colts team president for the last 11 seasons, made it clear he has the “utmost respect” for Meeks “as a person and as a football coach,” and believes the Panthers made an outstanding move Monday when they hired him as defensive coordinator...."

Polian said regardless of what Meeks decides, he’ll find a way to get the most out of his players.

“Ron, I think, was almost a little hamstrung in our system because it was pre-circumscribed what we were going to do as far as the players we had,” Polian said. “You had to do certain things with them (because of their skills). We were heavily zone, and it worked because of the guys we had and because of other things that were built into the system.

“But Ron has a broad enough knowledge that he can tweak it. He can adapt the system to almost any player. So in some respects he might be more creative in Carolina than he was when he was in Indianapolis.”

This was particularly reassuring.

“One of the things I like best about him is he’s the same positive guy every day,” Polian said. “He doesn’t change a whole lot. Winning doesn’t make him too high and losing doesn’t leave him too low.

Does that mean that he and Fox will both be clapping on the sidelines when we screw up a play?... :(

:D

      Best and Worst PFF Grades for Jets Game

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Rotating in Chuba was beyond stupid and really hurt our offense overall. We’ve been in a good rhythm the last 6 quarters or so but Canales figured disrupting that with Chuba would be worth it Rico fits this offense so much better than Chuba    As far as grades go I know that ain’t our RB1, starting Center and our supposedly deep WR room and exciting talented young TE in dead last. Weird. I wonder if that has any correlation on QB play  Even that first incomplete ball Bryce threw in the end zone that hit Legette’s hands. Legette had no business being there so early. Legette went into scramble drill when that ball was intended for Coker who led up because of the traffic there

      Yeah Jets have pretty much been in every game they've played and have barely lost to really good teams. They are much better than their record says Imo

      Trade for a QB?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I kinda just wanna see what the offense can do with a QB who has proven he can move the football in the NFL. If Dalton wasn't a shadow of his former self I'd be fine with him but Father Time has definitely caught up with him. If we start piling up the losses as the schedule gets tougher and the passing offense continues to be anemic that might cast Canales his job and it's worth a very low risk move IMO to at least give him a fighting chance. The thought of yet another Tepper rebuild just isn't at all exciting to me having already seen a few of them. I'm about giving this current guy a fighting chance.
