To me, Sheard is clearly a stopgap solution, but a better one than Walden due to age and athleticism. He's also started 59 of the 89 games in which he's played in his career, so it's not like he's a Ricky Jean-Francois career backup type.

As for Simon, yes, there was a clear reason he was a backup, two in fact. Their names were Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus, both former first round picks, one a former #1 overall pick. He did start 12 games over the last two years, though, so again, not like he's a career backup.

i don't care that we are moving on from walden. he is on the wrong side of 30 and i have no issue with trying simon and sheard as starters on this defense.

just saying it is not a certainty that they are better or will be better.

I'm sure you, myself and all other Colts fans are hoping for they will be better. I'm tired of watching the Colts swiss cheese version of a defense for the last few years.

Titans have signed Walden. They seem to have a thing for signing former Colts players.
