He's played great, but it's two games.

Hence “on his way”. Not that much competition either. The last young LB with this type of energy was Session, but Leonard seems like a better athlete.

Margus Hunt is one of the many reasons GMs draft traits. 6'8" 290 with a sub 5 40 is why he's so successful in this system. I wanted him back in the 2013 draft. Glad he's finally starting to put his talent and ability together.

The 6'8" 290 is more important in the equation than the sub 5 40, but it all displays the incredible athlete he is. You could cite 40, 10 yard split, 3 cone, 20 yard shuttle, or 60 yard shuttle, the point is that for his size he is incredibly fast. 40 is just the most commonly referenced and easily accessible of those. Technique is what wins, but teaching incredible athletes great technique is what makes a great player.

But seriously, can you guys remember the last Colts DL who just blasted through OL like that? I mean, Freeney and Mathis killed you off the edge / with spin moves etc. But just in a pure power sense, I can't think of the last Colt who impressed me like Margus Hunt has first 2 games.

He's played his role (power DE/UT) very well. Also thought he got robbed of a sack on the offsides call on Turay. Turay just got a great jump on that play, he didn't cross the LOS until clearly after the ball was snapped if you watch the replay.

Corey Simon for a quick game or two.

The main story of the game was the defense. The front 4 completely took
an upper tier offensive line to school and it was a coming out party for
leonard who might be the difference maker on D they've lacked since freeney.
Offensively, they ran the ball far better than I thought they would. I disagree
that Luck only played well the first 1.5 quarters. I think the third quarter
would have been different if the PI on Ebron had been called, this team just
cannot get a fair shake from the officiating crews. And he did lead the team on
the clinching drive in the 4th. He still has a lot of work to do, the second pick
was inexcusable but he's really getting there, fast.
This was game they could have lost in the past with that third quarter lull, it's the kind of game they did lose last week. But they learned, they were stout
and that is cause for optimism. Yo, Philly.

Yeah, but the guy also had never played in this scheme until this year. Maybe this is finally the right fit?
