The Natives were/are restless on off season moves made and not made this year. Time for a closer look. I skip VD, as he has already been discussed recently in not yet doing anything in Indy.
Brandon Marshall, ranked #34, went back with his old QB in Cutler on what was thought to be a VG team. So far, he has caught 16 of 29 passes thrown to him for 214 yards, 1 TD, and 2 drops.
Hartline, ranked #37, with no camp and a rookie QB, has caught 13 of 29 passes for the exact same 214 yards. 0 TD's, and the exact same 2 drops.
I wanted Manningham, ranked #41, with 12 of 13 passes caught for 113 yards and 0 TD's.
-------------------------
Next, I wanted Eric Winston, ranked #19, who has been good in pass protect but average in run blocking. He has given up 1 sack, 0 QB hits, and 9 hurries.
Martin, ranked # 58, has not been as good but, keeps getting better at a small portion of the cost. He has given up 1 sack, 1 hit, and 8 pressures.
--------------------------
Next, I wanted Mark Anderson at DE to go with Wake. He went to Buff opposite Mario Williams. As of now, he has 1 sack, 2 QB hits, and 5 hurries.
Pee Wee Odrick has 1 sack, 5 hits, and 1 hurry, while being much better vs the run.
-------------------------
We could add in Flynn but, he has no stats, as he could not win the starting job from a rookie.
I've seen some posts on how our team has failed badly in the off season, and there is some merit to that. I just do not think the above was taken into consideration.
