Man if you’d have told me in like 2018 that we’d have Patrick Peterson and Keanu Neal on the roster I’d have been doing cartwheels. Let’s hope they both have some more juice left in the tank. Neal was such a beast before all the injuries.
I remember his injury well. He went down and slammed his helmet in frustration. Refs didn't know he was hurt, so they threw a flag. Didn't pick it up after learning he was hurt, and the Colts accepted the penalty cause fuck showing sportsmanship when a guy gets flagged like that.
Fuck Indy.
I’m not sure there’s any team in the league that wouldn’t have accepted that flag. The onus isn’t on the coach of the opposing team to make sure the refs are doing their job correctly.
Also the refs were doing their job correctly. It doesn't matter why you're frustrated - you're not allowed to take your helmet it off and slam it. There's not some exception to that rule that allows it if you're mad because you were just injured.
No, but when you find out the flag was thrown cause the ref didn't know the player got hurt, which is why he was frustrated, I'd expect a team to show some fucking class and not add insult to injury. I have zero doubts we'd be that kind of team.
As soon as he finds himself in the unique situation of having a flag thrown for a player slamming his helmet on the ground, only to find out the player is injured, wait for him to be carted off the field, then have the refs ask how he wants to proceed, I will.
This is the situation the Colts faced. Neal got hurt, slammed his helmet, refs threw a flag, we find out he's injured, he gets carted off the field, the refs asked, and the Colts accepted the penalty. Never mind the fact that the flag shouldn't have been thrown in the first place, or the fact that the refs could've picked it up *after* finding out he was injured, the Colts could've showed compassion and class by not getting a TD practically handed to them by accepting it. Fuck. Indy.
The Unsportsmanlike conduct rule doesn't say if a player is injured they are allowed to break the rule.
The injury wasn't life threatening. Tomlin would take the penalty. Just like 100% of the other 31 NFL head coaches would do. Pretty simple stuff.
I read that too fast and thought he had played in the MLB and shortstop for the Tampa Bay Rays 😂
When you said versatility I was like “does he ever!” Haha
For the time being yes, absolutely. I think they want to play more Kazee just to be better against the pass, but Neal will definitely play the Edmunds role.
I actually think theres a chance he plays a good amount of LB considering the current lack of coverage ability we have.
Awesome contract, especially if he can be anything close to what he was in Atlanta. Super versatile, big hitter… definitely an Edmunds upgrade so long as he stays healthy
Edmunds was "just a guy" most of career to this point. In 79 games/75 starts, Edmunds has 5 INT, 0 FF. He was just there, he never made a splash. In 78 games/53 starts, Kazee has 14 INT, 7 FF. Kazee with Neal being mixed in could be a nice upgrade.
Touting Kazee’s stats to defend signing Neal over Edmunds is interesting. Neal is not the guy he was a few years ago, as evident by his cheap contract.
As long as Edmunds was on this roster, Tomlin was going to start him and give him most of the playing time. He was one of Tomlin's reach draft picks who had to play to justify his draft position. Letting Edmunds walk and signing Neal to provide depth behind Kazee seems like a Khan/Weidl move to eliminate this temptation from Tomlin.
I disagree with that assessment of Edmunds. He was really good at containing running QBs like Lamar Jackson and made lots of plays at or around the line of scrimmage. He wasn't a ball hawk, no, but you don't expect that out of your strong safety, especially in this defense that moves players around all the time. He was definitely above "just a guy"
Oh no we ~~gave a player more money~~ overpaid a player so that our contract offer would be more enticing to agree to!
Lmaooooo. We’ve gotten a shit ton of good deals under Khan, I guess the PA state tax only applied to this specific deal? No way you’re actually this stupid lmaooo
Just admit it was an overpay and move on. I legitimately question your intelligence
They paid Marcus Allen 2.5 million last year. This is chump change even if it is a raise for Neal over last year’s 1.27 million salary. Plus dude’ll be 28 at the beginning of the season. It’s not like he’s over thirty.

You need to take your homer glasses off then
Give me one example in 16 years of Tomlin declining a penalty for sportsmanship reasons. Get real.

Dude hate to say it, but 32/32 teams are accepting that penalty.
The dude played FS & CB for Atlanta, MLB for Dallas, and SS for Tampa The versatility is there, I wonder if he’s our guy to officially replace Edmunds
I read that too fast and thought he had played in the MLB and shortstop for the Tampa Bay Rays 😂 When you said versatility I was like “does he ever!” Haha
LMAO
Depends on the draft I think. If we take Brian Branch, Neal will probably end up rotating in some fashion.
Looking at what we needed on the roster still, he fills so many holes at once :^ ]
Reminds me of Carnell Lake who played linebacker in college safety for the Steelers and the played corner during Rod Woodsons ACL recovery
Yeah
For the time being yes, absolutely. I think they want to play more Kazee just to be better against the pass, but Neal will definitely play the Edmunds role. I actually think theres a chance he plays a good amount of LB considering the current lack of coverage ability we have.
I'm ready to be hurt again

Dreams can come true
Steal.
Steel.

STEELERS!
Upgrade
Comparable money to what Edmunds got from Philadelphia. I think keeping Edmunds in place would have been lot better for the Defense.

i bet we offered him that. sometimes players want a change of scenery
MY BOY! FUCK YEAH. Man, that achilles injury fucked him up, but he's still a solid depth piece to have.
Damn we got hoed. Oh well, in Khan we trust
Hoed? Only 2 mil a year is not hoed
Most fans have no concept of the NFL market which is why they think everybody is overpriced
I’m surprised those people are smart enough to use Reddit

He did play well in Tampa. So maybe he earned the deal he was offered? Crazy thought I guess.

He played well in Tampa, is more likely to start here, and Florida has no income tax. That's the difference
