The Richardson trade has no good ending if the O-line isn't fixed. If I was Grigson I'd be thinking either:
1. Get Mack as a long term solution and a high caliber center.
or
2. Get Jonathan Goodwin as a stop gap and pick up an O-lineman in the draft with one of the first 2 picks. Depending on who falls to us and how they're evaluated, we might figure to pick up a guy like Billy Turner or Dakota Dozier in the 3rd
1. Mack is way too expensive and so would a high caliber center, Holmes cant be good if he isnt given a chance to work at it.
2. Jonathan Goodwin is way too old and again Holmes will be the starter if given a chance to work at it.
People need to stop relying on Free Agency to fill our roster, free agents arent the answer to building a successful roster just look at the Bengals and Seahawks.

Nicks is in the building right now, lets hope he doesn't leave without a contract.

Vontae's deal was 4 years, 39 million with 20 million guaranteed

The only reason Johnson succeeded in Cincy was because of Geno Atkins and Domata Peko taking on double teams. Once Atkins got hurt he was exposed because he was always singled on the outside and thats how he got the qb sacks. without someone taking on double teams he is just another lineman. Plus he is a pure 4-3 DE pass rusher.

The best running came behind McGlynn at center but he is nothing more than depth. The starting line needs to be Castonzo-Thomas-Holmes/draft pick/overprice free agent-Thornton-Cherilus. The offensive line's success comes from the coaches making the right decision and seeing when a lineman sucks but are blinded by the money they are paying him.
-
With all of this center talk how about we just see what Khaled Holmes can do and if he sucks we just draft a center rather than pay someone a crap ton of money.

Is this even a legit question? The Colts already run a somewhat multiple defense: Mathis had his hand in the dirt like 50% of the time or something like that and Werner also had his hand in the dirt. Its not like the Colts are a strict 3-4 only defense and switching back would only set this defense back farther than what they are now.

Not sure if you were responding to me but that's basically what I said. We don't need to copy the Seahawks formula. It's their strategy we need to copy. The reason the defense is so up and down is that these guys have no continuity. They don't play well together and fit each other's strong points and mask their weaknesses. That's the thing about the Seahawks D. Both the secondary and the DL are a cohesive unit. Most of that has come through the draft.
That's what we should do. Cut Toler and draft a young corner. Then next year we can draft a great Safety if we can't get one this draft. I love Grigson and Chuck, but they need to be patient and BUILD a team. Not just throw one together hoping it sticks.
Im glad someone agrees with me and sees the truth. with offense, plug and play works but when it comes to defense getting free agent players and making them starters just because you paid them alot of money is stupid. So to reiterate your point, yes we need to copy the strategies of the Bengals, Panthers, and Seahawks and build a team. We dont need to sign Jarius Byrd of Verner, we need to draft a solid 2nd round corner or safety and groom them to eventually start.

This may be off topic but hearing "we should copy the Seahawks" says hey were not good enough to compete with them and lets kiss their butts. didnt the Colts beat the Seahawks? yea they did. How about the Colts just build their own defense just like Zimmer did with the Bengals, who by the way were top 5 on defense and the Panthers built their own defense they were the 2nd best defense. if you want to build a defense you draft them, same with offense. The Bengals have built their team through the draft, offense and defense minus James Harrison. we dont need to sign 26-27 year old guys who will play through one contract and retire. the only way to build a solid team is through the draft. the players on our defense havent had the time to mesh together because most of them our from free agency, ie our secondary minus Bethea. There is a reason the NFL has a draft. If you really want to be like the Seahawks you build through the draft.

I was thinking about it...
-
The Chiefs just released him and he could be depth. I know he is 32 but like i said maybe a depth signing.
Thoughts?

sorry i couldnt sleep and just wanted to rant.

i have been on this forum for a while and have noticed no matter what the Colts do they always did something wrong according to people on here. As colts fan we should be supporting the win without out complaining about every little thing. you dont see people complaining about Luck not throwing a TD and Brown having 2 TD's. We had three rushing TD's with Luck being one of those and close to 150 rushing yards. Luck had a flawless game and Fleener finally had the game we needed him to have. Richardson played the role he needed to but still needs to play second fiddle to Brown until next season after he learns the playbook 100%. After watching Luck for a season and 10 games i have come to realize most sacks he takes are not on the o-line but him not going through his reads; he looks and throws to first read and doesnt even go to his 2nd or 3rd reads. against houston Whalen was wide open in the endzone and Luck didnt even look at him he just threw to his first read who dropped because he was double covered. overall the colts played a good game they just started slow. people need to realize we are a second half team and just deal with it.
this is just my two cents because people need to stop treating wins like they are losses and analyzing every flaw. yes the colts made mistakes but we won and a "w" is a "w".

The Redskins have came out and said they are aggresively shopping Fred Davis. Grigson could offer a 7th rounder, condition of a 6th based on playing time. With Allen out we could use a blocking TE who could also become a dump-off guy if needed.
Opinions?
-
they were stupid and let Laron Landry walk away and probaly wont even get Brenard Pollard as a consolation prize. Grigson only depth players and that is going to kill the team this year.
-
whats up with Landry? Have we signed him and finalizing numbers or did not like the offer?
-
Should the Colts atleast look into a trade for Revis or would we be giving up an entire draft for him. What would we give up? And would we benefit from it?
-
What about Dion Jordan out of Oregon? Are we looking at him because he seems like a versatile 3-4 and 4-3 olb/de.
-
Now that Freeny is gone maybe we can take Dion Jordan out of Oregon. This kid seems pretty versatile and is a monster. Thoughts?
-
Did anyone see this 21-6 beating coming or did the 49ers just not show up to play today
-
im just glad that the Colts are looking at a SS since Zbikowski was getting beat all year and had trouble stopping the run,
-
Depending upon what Denver and Baltimore do, anywhere from 2nd to 4th. New England would have to lose two, and Denver lose one for us to get the #1 seed.
Thanks.
-
if both the Colts and the Texans are 12-4, assuming the Colts win out what seed do we get and do we get a tie breaker. And i am rooting for the Pats right now despite me and my hatred for Brady.
-
People need to stop talking about the Texans resting their starters being the only way we can win. We can beat them with their starters, theyre not as strong as they were at the beginning of the season. every team has a 50/50 shot at winning no matter what, plus its a division game so both teams will play tougher.

All of you are too quick on giving up on Thomas and Thornton. Thomas was injured and the Colts didnt think they would have to thrust Thornton into the starting LG spot when we drafted him to play RG. Our starting line will be Castonzo-Thomas-Holmes-Thornton-Cherilus.
There is no way in hell Grigson is stupid enough to give up a third rounder for an aging guard. it seems like the minute someone comes on the market you all want him and say "he will improve the team and we can get rid of an in-house guy". Look what happened with Laron Landry, we all thought because he played 16 games as a Jet he'd play 16 with us and he didnt. Evan Mathis is 33 and Pagano and Grigson arent that stupid to give up on Thornton and Thomas who i think both will come back and play better than ever.
