Pat Angerer likely to start on Sunday Night Football

PrintColts starting MLB Gary Brackett missed practice all this week and is expected to be out when Indy goes to D.C. Sunday Night.
Officially Angerer is listed as 3rd string MLB behind former Nebraska LB Cody Glenn, but Angerer took over the position when Brackett missed the final 7 quarters of preseason action, despite Glenn being healthy. In addition Glenn is currently the only backup LB with both pro experience at OLB and more than 2 weeks on the roster. Further discounting the usefulness of the Colts publicly available depth chart, the player they listed as their starting strong safety all last week was cut the day before the game.
Angerer stood out in preseason with 36 tackles and 2 sacks, but has been limited to special teams duty so far this year, where he's looked pretty good. Indy runs a zone-heavy, light blitzing D that should be familiar to Angerer, but the most notable difference in Cover-2, which Iowa runs, to Tampa-2, Indy's scheme, is the middle linebackers' assignment. Angerer will be tasked with a much deeper and larger area to defend in the passing game while still holding down the middle against the run.

I love that they just make the shapes bigger in that diagram.
Version one has gaps. Version two corrects that by assigning each player a larger area to cover. Ahhhhhh, NOW I get it, coach.
Version three will be one giant purple box. The perfect defense. Try to prove me wrong …
God, the first one was designed by an idiot!
You just make the shapes bigger and nobody can score!

I'm sure they do some, but I've been under the impression that cover-2 is the base.
Choke/Clutch is the fetishization of the small sample size.

paid attention to it during the game
saw a lot of what appeared to be both. Quarters very well could be the base.
Either way Angerer has to learn a much much deeper coverage drop.

Quarters is the Base
That’s why people can dink and dunk between the twenties. We usually go to Cover 3 on blitzes and Cover 2 in the red zone.

Iowa does run quarters, no matter what the drunk guy behind you at Kinnick says.
The schemes change in particular downs and inside the ten and on long prevent downs, but the base is definitely quarters. It’s like that long ball that Prater (or maybe Hyde?) got blown up on vs. Penn State. People were screaming about Sash’s failure to cover over-the-top, but in reality, IIRC it’s the OLB’s responsibility. A Mike’s job doesn’t change much, though, does it?

It was really obviously quarters on the long TD Hyde gave up Saturday
floated into on of the safeties 1/4ths for some reason leaving his man totally uncovered deep.

oh, and I'm a student, so I'm far likely to hear rumors about DJK being gay than misinformation about the coverage scheme
from a drunk dude behind me at Kinnick.

It was nice to see him get a sack
but you could tell he was still a rookie out there making his first start. The announcers seemed to enjoy pointing out every time he was out of position.
That being said, still nice to see a Hawkeye get a start as a rookie, and you can bet he will only improve the more he sees the field.
