What happens when the strength of the muscle exceeds the tear-strength of the tendons? Donald Thomas should know. Apparently, he has exceeded the physical limits of his body. The training staff is probably aware that this is an individual limit - it varies from player to player - so one size does not fit all. Stronger does not always mean better.

It's a bad break, however this is your bust alert. 14 million deal for a guy whos played 2 games.. yeeekk. time to move on with injury settlement

 

I don't think it's necessary to do that.  We first want to see how Mewhort performs.

 

Secondly and more importantly we are very much not in need of cap space.  Just IR him since he's a vested vet and move on and see if he can come back next year.

In retrospect maybe he should have started on PUP. But he was cleared. Sucks for him, will be difficult to come back from.

 

Many of us expected he would be on PUP, but like you say, he was cleared. It's hard to pick at the decision the doctors and trainers came to.

Yea lets move on to a sub par vet who hasn't played in a year

I'll be civil and ask. Besides whining and complaining, what do you suggest the Colts do?

BTW, whining and complaining aren't going to win you any likes, nor will people take your post seriously. If you don't care about that, carry on.

I feel for Thomas, bad break for the Colts!

 

On the positive side...

We get to see if the youngsters got what it takes.

Obviously the "plug n play" Veteran/FA tactic of the past two years has not been successful.

Although not ideal, we get to see what we got in these young guys...

IF it works out our O-line is set for the near future, maybe longer.

IF NOT, it's hard to imagine it being worse than the past two years, ever so, we may need to endure some pain to truly BTM.

Got to build a solid O-line sometime; maybe on the job training, baptism by fire is the way to go.

 

Scary thoughts, but might be what we are left with!

Firstly I'm not here for likes, secondly these forums are here for colts fans to express their opinions as fans etc., and thats what I'm doing.  Im pretty sure there have been topics you have whined and complained about as Im "doing now".  To answer your question, I think we should give Mewhert or Ulrich a chance at the spot

I feel like I'm watching the football version of "Final Destination" where our IR'd players from last year, who fought back into shape, survived a "Final Destination" like accident and now it's coming back for them. First Vick and now DT . . . Make it stop!

At least it happened early in training camp so whomever is going to take his place will get as much time as possible to be ready week 1.  If it had to happen at least it happened now instead of week two or three.

 

The question mark hanging over our offensive line definitely got bigger with this injury. Hopefully are young guys can step up.

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By smittywerb · Posted

      I just knew there was going to be a run on WRs later in the first.   welp, hoping we trade up for either AD (character concerns and all) or Troy Franklin.   there is no way we can leave this draft not drafting some type of burner in this deep WR draft.     Welp, can’t be too mad.  We can’t pick ‘em all and I’m ok with who we picked.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      I haven't paid much attention to the draft and looking OR making mocks 'cause with Ballard you usually will be disappointed...... like most on this Forum are tonight. Lol   But I wasn't surprised by a defensive linemen being picked. I didn't think he would go CB or trade up for a elite receiver or Bowers would fall to 15. And honestly I know noting about Latu  except a few highlights I seen switching from the draft and Yankee game.  I liked the highlights but not crazy about the conference he played in and  his medical history.   I was hoping for Bowers but not surprised he's not a colt especially when Denver chose the last QB and the raiders were right behind them. I heard the raiders liked Bowers and with no QB left to possibly sway them I had a feeling they would grab him. We all know it was unlikely Ballard would trade up for him(even if he had him high on his board?)   Kudos for the bears getting a great prospect, I hope they don't mess him up.  And to the Patriots for getting imo the second best QB. The Falcons getting Pence for life after Cousins(which may be sooner than later) I think was a good move.

      I mean, i kinda ma because in year 4 Trey had 13.5 sacks and probably way more pressures than paye has had in year 4.  Paye has one more year to show he can be the pass rusher we need.     and only reason why Trey was being compared to Paye is because someone else brought him.  There is honestly no comparison when it comes to their year 4s

      5 best remaining WR’s according to PFF   WR ADONAI MITCHELL, TEXAS. Mitchell's fluidity and size make him a tough matchup for anyone, especially in the red zone. ...  WR TROY FRANKLIN, OREGON. ...  WR LADD MCCONKEY, GEORGIA. ...  WR KEON COLEMAN, FLORIDA STATE. ...  WR ROMAN WILSON, MICHIGAN.

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…). ****NO SPOILERS****

      Falcons probably drafted Penix because they liked him, more than most other players because of the importance of QB position as well.   Note that They didn't draft JJ McCarthy so it shows Falcons staff definitely had their preference, inclination and liking to his QB play more than anyone else.   I think the thumb rule is if a team likes a QB very much, there are chances it won't happen again sooner in future, and even if they like few QBs in near future they may not be in position to draft the players they love.   So, general rule is always draft a QB if you like and when you can - same with Lions last year, and I hope Vikings did the same this draft.
