His size could be a problem

 

I think I saw a story on Colts.com that pegged him at 240....

 

If true,  no problem....

 

If less.....    well, then maybe he's more of a special teams guy....     this has time to sort itself out...

Maybe he is eating a lot calories

 

I noticed the website officially lists him at 229.

 

The team updates the weight of all the players in early May, after the team breaks for the summer and everyone gets about 50 days off.....

 

Those weights then stand as the new official weights for the season.     It'll be interesting to see how much everyone weighs with a new GM.....

Does he live in Indy now? If so, maybe one of the locals can get him to hop ona scale for us?

I hate having to wait till May. haha

 

I'm guessing he Bulks up to 242lbs.

Just looking at the roster and I stumbled upon him. Who is he? he did have 29 sacks in his collegiate career. not bad

I don't know anything other than him laying a big hit on T.Y in college...at least I think that is the guy

I think he could be very good if he just gets stronger.

All this discussion about the new LBs and i forgot we brought him in.

time will tell, but Ballard TOTALLY revamped and added ALOT of competition  to probably our weakest position. He seems to be addressing the problem areas head-on.  he's trying at NT, but is smart enuff not to overpay.  

Build thru the draft and fill in the gaps and add some depth thru free agency.  Create competition at all positions. I REALLY am liking ballard so far.  i really liked his "video message to colt fans".  He said all the right things, checked all my boxes, and seemed so damn sincere and transparent at the same time: how refreshing.  If he gets this draft right, its gonna be an exciting and interesting camp. cross your fingers.

LOL. Where's he gonna be when we draft a couple OLB's early? Back in Canada where I'm sure he belongs. For every Freeman you get, you get 100 guys that suck. Like the O-Lineman and WR we signed a couple years back.

 

Are you saying Those who forget the John Chick are doomed to repeat it?

 

Hey, you never know...

Alex Bazzie went to Marshall, so I'm partial. He is a little small but has a great motor and will push any new linebackers for their position. He did start out on ST at Marshall and had to work his way to be a starter. Good character guy and should be a great locker room guy. Will he make the 53, I don't know but if not it will not be for a lack of effort.

You guys are too premature on him being too light..like he doesn't have plenty of time to bulk up plus not everyone has to be 250+ to be successful at olb..as long as he has some sort of speed and strength that's what you should pay attention to

Agreed. It's also not always about raw strength. Functional strength and the ability to convert speed to power are huge for 3-4 OLB.

    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
    • That is a very inaccurate description of what happened.  At this point it’s history and doesn’t need to be revisited but I will say Chloe adds value to this board and should be and is by most encouraged to post, even if people don’t always agree with her.  
    • My response was in regards to another posted suggesting that the Colts need to get the pick right when it comes to picking a WR. I agree with you .
