People tend to forget that Cole has had four seasons of 10 or more sacks, as a linebacker. He plays a lot like a Robert Mathis to me, he can get down in the trenches like a defensive linemen, but he also has the agility of a linebacker.
So imagine this for a moment, at some point this season the Colts will send both Cole and Mathis after the quarterback. You cannot sit here and tell me that is not one of the most terrifying things ever, having those two guys coming after you? I might have nightmares tonight thinking about that sack duo.
Another thing Cole brings to the Colts is leadership, this is a relatively young Colts defense, especially on the line and in the secondary. Linebackers are the quarterbacks of the defense and there is no one more capable of leading and commanding a defense than Trent Cole. I am really looking forward to what he bring this season.
