[Wait and see stradigy]

Why doesn’t Carolina pay Norwell, short of cash? Does anybody know?

[Predict How Much Ballard Spends in FA]

I never care how much the Colts spend, not my money, but I do care that they get good players. If they spend all the cap money and get 2 good players and a few other good teammates then I’m happy.

However, I’m always nervous about free agents, constantly asking myself, “if they are so good why don’t they get paid by their current teams?” 

It seems to me that with the cap nowadays going up every year (doubling the last 10 years) every team should be able to keep their good free agents if they think they are worth keeping.

For example, can someone explain why guys like  Norwell or Hitchens are going be let go by Panthers or Cowboys if they are really that good?

Yes, I don't know why Polian don't like them at least he doesn't say anything good about them. 

 

I’m a big Polian fan and enjoy listening to him a lot, but lately he’s been annoying  me as he is very subjective when he talks about his players as opposed to current players. I even heard him saying, among other things that “there is no Cato June” on current Colts roster.

Common now, Cato June? That guy clearly had his moments but let’s not forget how frustrated the fans were with him as he was just a traffic cone in the path of Jaguars running backs.

And yes, it bothers me that he won’t even acknowledge Hooker, so much less Geathers as talented players the Colts have on their roster.

[Official 2018 Colts NFL Draft Tracker - Meetings, Interviews, Private Workouts, etc]

Did Colts meet with Edmunds, the linebacker? I think he is really good, and they can draft him if they have to trade down.

Chances of Nelson getting drafted in the top 10 = about 95%!  

 

That doesn't make it a good decision.

I think there is a VERY good chance that Chubb will be there at No. 6 now. He might fall further than that. 

 

I would take Nelson over him in a heartbeat at No. 6 though. 

 

You can’t take a guard in the first round, not a game changer no matter how good.

[Shaquem Griffin runs unofficial 4.38, 40-yard dash]

This is the guy I want Colts to draft somehow, some way. Playing with one hand made him special, adding extra desire and drive to succeed.

[Report: Toronto Argos' OC Marcus Brady joining the Colts staff]

He may be wide receivers coach, what he was before becoming OC.

[Should Colts tag Vinitari]

Who’s Vinitari? OK JK

My answer is no, just another 2 year contract with an easy out after 1 year.

Both.  He started as a coaching intern in 2006 and was the QB coach in 2009 & 2010.  He also served as the wide receivers coach during Peyton's last year with the Colts (his injured year).  Reich was on the coaching staff when the Indy Colts made their 2 Super Bowls appearances (2006 & 2009). 

 

 

I was referring to Alan Williams:)

What type of offense does he play? I hope it's a quick hitting

[Colts hire Frank Reich [Merge]]

I wonder if he said to Ballard when he was  offered the job, “Well Chris I got bad news man.....Just kidding”

[Colts hire Frank Reich [Merge]]

I’m so happy for this, the only choice of the possible 3 that takes away the bitter taste left by the Josh McDaniels debacle.

And how about that! The Colts are now led by a former pastor. Looking forward to watching those post game prayers in the locker room

99% of Americans do not know the definition of "reich' and 99% of Americans do not even know there was a 1st. and 2nd. "reich".  But in the minds of 99% of Americans the word "reich" reminds people of a period murder and genocide.  That's just the way it is. 

 

Agree %100 with what you said, but that doesn’t mean the ignorance should impede upon freedom of speech and ruin peoples’ pleasure of having a harmless conversation with their friends.

Exactly, plus the word “reich” simply means “realm”

I for one am not looking forward to these Nazi innuendos if he gets the job. 

 

Nothing to do with the Nazis, that would be The 3rd Reich.

The 2nd Reich refers to the German Empire under the rule of Otto von Bismark.

[The Calm before the storm....]

 I hope Irsay steps in and convinces Ballard to name Reich as the next coach. I don’t want a rah-rah construction worker, another Pagano or worse.

So, if Frank gets the job, how do we play this?

"Welcome to the first Reich"?

"Welcome to our Reich"?

 

Since it would be his 2nd stint with the Colts we should say “The 2nd Reich”

[Frank Reich Expected to Interview]

Ballard lost a lot of credibility with me because of his gross misjudgment of character. I hope Jim Irsay steps in this time and hires Frank Reich. 

[McDaniels rejects Colts.]

I firmly believe this was not meant to be, and it is for the better. And so much for the guy being a changed man. A Romanian proverb  says “Lupul schimbă părul dar năravul ba” , meaning “A wolf may shed his hair but not his habit”.

I’m happy that the Colts are going to be free of the Patriots stigma.

Colts fans, we need something that defines the Colts as organization, an identity to be proud, like we had during the great Peyton Manning years.

I now hate the Patriots so much more, everything that has to do with them. 

I hope Colts maintain their dignity and we’ll someday enjoy seeing the evil empire crumble in shame.

Go Colts!

Belichick would like to promote his 2 sons. I’m not sure how far he can get them up the ladder though.

He took the job, then resigned right before his introductory presser. Then he did the presser anyway. 

 

I watched “30 for 30 the 2 Bills” and to me the whole sequence of events made perfect sense, particularly after understanding how BB came to the Jets 2 year before that and how Parcells used him to deal with the situation arised from him leaving the Pats before the contract was over.
