satelliteoflovegm Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Don't know alot about the guy, but believe he is an upgrade of Sam Adams who had 12 tackles in 2005. I know the true measure of a DT isn't tackles, it the guys they occupy, but Adams couldn't or wasn't allowed to play nearly enough to be worth the price. I wish him well though...

Seahawks21 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Triplett is a decent player with both some size and athleticism. He doesn't do anything great, so don't expect him to be a great pass rusher or every down run stopper. He can be an effective player in a rotation of tackles and has the ability to make plays in spurts. If you got him cheap you'll like him, if you overpaid you won't.

CaptainHook Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) He was a second round pick of the Colts, and IMO never lived up to it. He was the Colts third DT behind Simon and Reagor. He played quite a bit though because of how much the Colts rotate linemen into the game. He had a nice game in the opener against the Ravens last year with a couple sacks and returned an INT for a TD against the Texans, but other than that, I cannot think of any other great plays/games from his entire time here. It irritates me when a guy loses weight and gets in great shape for his contract year after doing nothing before that.

Now is he going to play like his draft status and contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
