Bostic to Steelers


Recommended Posts

The only one of those that really hurts is Melvin. Strange that he took a one year prove it deal. That is a big time gamble with NFL injury rates being what they are.  Guess his agent convInced him that one more year of top notch play will open the bank vaults. But he’ll be 30 then. I dunno.

Don't you know, by trashing ex-colts that el cheapo doesn't bring back you show support to him? Like a good little colt fan is supposed to. Lol.

Nailed it.

Fact is that we know for sure that 6 starters are out and not coming back. Still not sure about Mewhort, Desir and a couple of others.

 

Bostic wasn't the best linebacker ever to play the game, but he was pretty good against the run, and not the worst player on our roster.

I mean, Bostic was our best ILB in awhile, but let’s trash on him. Sure, why not?

Just because he was the best on a team with terrible LBs doesn’t mean he was good? Common sense, use it.

So because he was better than the other backers we have and he is leaving, it permits us to trash a temporary fill-in player? I’m sorry if my stance doesn’t qualify for a misuse in common sense.

That's like saying Whoopi Goldberg is the smartest woman on The View.

Regardless of clever comparatives, I don’t think we should bash on Bostic. It’s not like he was a dirty player, or had a coaching staff to improve his play.

He was bad? Check. We changed schemes? Check. We will most certainly draft a LB or two? Check. 

 

Seriously, common sense, use it.

I wasn't supporting or saying he should have been brought back. I was supporting the poster who said he shouldnt be TRASHED.

 

Hankens was a solid player. He was cut yesterday for monetary reasons. He also was Trashed to show support for el cheapo.

Hankins was cut because of scheme change, had nothing to do with money. Lol

Yes, now we will have 3 linebackers two outside and 1 in the middle so he was definitely expendable.

Six starters from a team that was terrible.

But he was still better than the rest of the LB core, so what are you trying to argue? It’s not really common sense to bash a player, especially if he outperformed the competition in house. Your argument is excused from the use of logic.

I could be wrong, but I thought all ColtsBlitz was saying is that there is no reason to bash Bostic on his way out.  He was not saying the Colts should retain Bostic.  At least that's how I took the post.

So to sum up, that's Hankins, Mingo, Gore, Melvin, Bostic and Moncrief definitively out the door.

Autry only one coming in.

 

Good luck to Bostic.

Well along with our extra 2nd rounder next year we should have at least one comp pick as well, so that's a positive.

Again, we changed schemes. C’mon man, holy % lol. I never bashed him either FYI, I said he is bad.

Again, common sense ain’t so common for everyone.

And I would agree with that. But some posters seem to think it was a mistake letting him leave, and I don’t know if that’s funny or sad.

I'm going to call bull on that. It's beyond laughable to claim Melvin, Gore, Hankins, Moncrief and Moncrief was "terrible" last season.

Hankins was out best D-line player. Melvin was our best player in the secondary. Gore did a fine job behind an awful O-line. Mingo and Moncrief was clearly useful players, and has no had problem getting new deals paying them millions to play in the NFL, just like Hankins and Melvin, so thery're probably not all that "terrible" at playing football.

 

There are nuances in this world. It's not black or white, all pro or completely useless.

El Cheapo is our leader in the football cartel. Who else could we turn to except our glorious leader?

 

(but seriously LJ, that nickname is amazing:lol:)

I mean Irsay said it.. which means the staff thought it. 

 

Not all 4-3s are the same by the way. 

Base 4-3s are all the same.  NT, UT, and 2 DEs.  Hankins has play in 4-3s except last year.

A year ago at this time,  there was EXACTLY NO ONE who was asking for Ballard to sign Jon Bostic.

 

And when Ballard did,  most of the reaction was the same.....     "HE SUCKS!!    What is Ballard doing?"

 

If Ballard let him go,  he didn't want to pay him what Pittssburgh did....

 

OR....

 

We offered same or more,  and Bostic decided to sign with the better team right now --- the Steelers.

 

Either way,   Ballard will find someone he can work with,  or draft someone....

    • 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 .
