Preseason Week Two quick thoughts

10. Denico Autry is going to be a terror. That's one impact DL I buy full stock in.

Aye, the Athletic said this about him in a story a couple days back:

"Defensive tackle Denico Autry’s been unblockable and looks primed for a breakout season. Well, that’s if you didn’t already consider his nine-sack performance in 2018 to be a breakout year. Autry, typically going against the Colts’ starting offensive line, harassed his teammates across the line and left the likes of 2018 first-round pick Quenton Nelson humbled, at times.

One of the hopes the Colts have for 2019 is that they’re not only able to rush off the edges but also collapse the quarterback pocket from the inside out. Autry’s performance in training camp suggests they’ll be able to do that. And if offenses opt to double-team him, they’re going to leave huge lanes open for linebackers like Darius Leonard to make plays in the backfield – hardly a better option."

Yep . And there were a lot of people that wanted us to use a #1 on the 3 Tech. Very glad we didnt. they guys is and will be a terror. Also don't forget about Ward. He will also flourish at 3 tech. He played very well before the injury
