Hooker may not have all of his speed/explosiveness back yet from the ACL repair.

One of the main things I'm looking for is what the FS, and specifically Hooker, is suppose to be doing. He was a top 15ish pick and supposedly the 2nd coming of Ed Reed. But other than in Bethea's best years, I don't remember the FS being that much of a key role in any Dungy/Lovie Smith/Marinelli defense. He looked promising as a rookie before he got hurt. I'm curious if he will have the opportunity to produce turnovers or if not, what this defense is asking him to do.

I haven't been on SB much lately. Shame they're pushing in that direction. Colts fans overall are sickeningly sugary sweet already, they don't need another safe space to parrot the same happy horseshit back and forth to each other.
Watch Earl Thomas back when Seattle was really good. That's basically what Hooker's role is supposed to be in this defense.

If we get into a shoot out, which seems reasonable to expect this season, we may see more of Hooker doing what he was drafted to do. Andy Dalton and especially Alex Smith are not exactly NFL gunslingers.
