Manusky has almost no real talent to work with - much less, elite talent. Vontae Davis has flashes of elite talent. Mathis used to, but is clearly waning. We have some promising rookies (the best of whom is now out for the season). Otherwise, we have a defensive unit filled with average talent. They play hard. They have heart. And grit. But they are outclassed in talent most weeks.
I continue to be impressed by the performances Manusky gets out of the Colts defense, week after week - especially when the offense and special teams keep putting them in generally bad situations.
