Autry
 

Some appreciation for Autry. He was literally the only bright spot from the Jagoff game, and he again played well against the Texans.

In the last two weeks:

5 TFL
6 hits on the QB
11 tackles
5 sacks
2 forced fumbles

He is definitely bringing it!

He was absent early in the season, but he is certainly earning his paycheck lately.

Between Autry, Hunt, Sheard, Turay, Woods and Muhammud, we have some nice role players on the D-Line that, at times, can all dominate.

What we really need is an elite talent sitting above them to draw the double team consistently, still beat it at times and take pressure off of all of them in order for them to shine more.

Top priority in free agency needs to be an elite pass rusher if any make it to the market. If not, then our 1st round pick or top 2nd round pick (from NYJ) probably needs to be a DE or DT that can crush the pocket.

As a side note, other pick probably needs to be CB. Wilson is finally coming on, Moore has been a find and Desir is rocking it but another young talent is required.

Walk Worthy,

Autry was named AFC defensive player of the week for week 14 :cool:

Grady Jarret will be a Free agent this year and Atlanta its in cap hell, could be a good rotation/starter at DT.

I didn't think much of Autry when we signed him. I'm glad I was wrong about the pickup, he's been great especially lately.

Just saw these stats on Facebook. What a difference a year makes.

Last year the #Colts⁠ ⁠leader in sacks was Jabaal Sheard with 5.5. 13 games in and they have three players who have matched or exceeded those numbers (Denico Autry w/ 8, Darius Leonard with 7 and Jabaal Sheard with 5.5). Margus Hunt is close with 5 and Kemoko Turay needs 1.5 sacks.

Yeah, coaching doesn't matter.
