Flea Flicker

Wait, what???

You must be confusing Chris Hope with Michael Griffin. Hope did not get a pick against the Eagles and only has 1 on the year which came against the Raiders in week 1.

I didn't realize Griffin was that close to leading the league though. He's definitely back to '08 form.

 

Exactly. Notice how I mentioned this in my original post.

Sure, it was against the Bills, but if run at the right time and executed correctly it will work every time.

A flea flicker basically does twice the damage to a defense as a perfectly executed play action would. Pretty much the entire defense would be sold on run when they actually see the ball handed off. Like I said before, with CJ, this is a money play.

 

This is a top 5 secondary we have IMO. If Verner keeps it up, it's gonna be hell for other teams.

 

Antoine Bethea will be a free agent. The Colts would be dummies to not re-sign him... maybe they still love their overrated, always injured safety more though.

Hope's good years are probably behind him while Bethea is in his prime. I'd definitely take Bethea over Hope, but it's highly unlikely.

Bethea is the only true upgrade from Hope, so if we can't get him there's no reason to make a change.
