I will keep drinking the kool-aid and using the snake oil before I start drinking your poison and accepting the constant degrading of our team,s FO, Coaches and, to use your words, the marginal players we have on our team. Just not wanting to lower myself to that.

Man this is like reading another Ballard grievance thread. I agree that we need help in some positions but don't agree with some of the positions mentioned. First I think Fries has played quite well the later part of last year and definitely this year. Hardly a game this year has he had the same two guys playing on either side of him. Between Smith and Kelly, they both have missed a lot of time and Smith was not effective when he played this year. As far as the DEs. I don't think they are that bad playing in Gus's D. We hardly ever blitz so it's 5 OL vs 4 DL. So far Paye has 3.5 sacks and 13TFL, Ebukam has 4 sacks and 22 TFL, Dayo in a more limited time has 3 sacks and 11 TFL and Buckner with very limited time at DE and most time at DT has 5 sacks and 21 TFL. I truly believe if we blitzed more and our corners covered better you would see more pressure from the outside. I think our weakest positions is corner and WR and depth along the OL. Would very much like to see us pick up a WR with speed in RD1 and fill in the rest in the draft and FA. LB concerns me the way Lenard is playing but a possibility of freeing a huge chunk of cash if he doesn't play better by year end. If Richardson comes back and plays well I don't think we are that far off.

All I know is our secondary may make Young look like an All-Pro this week.

We had our $ 90M LB returning and Franklin came off a great year. Guess they weren't prepared to pay him what he wanted.

What was Okereke's coverage grade in this defense last year? I think he was in the mid teens last year which isn't bad.

I saw we are now drafting 7th

9 turnover by Minshew in the last 3 games. Not all on the D.

What could we get for Leonard?

Dang, I knew Olave was fast but not that fast!

I gave him a very good up to this point. Granted a small sample size at this point but a breath of fresh air compared to Frank. Watching our offense is quit exciting compared to the predictability we saw in the past. Long way to go for a Super Bowl but very good up to this point considering a very weak secondary and OL being banged up.

I thought heard them say that the pass was caught behind the line of scrimmage so negated the illegal man down field.

There's a Ballard grievances thread for all you haters. I suspect that is why they put it there.

Run Hines up the middle with 4th and goal at the 5yd line?

Not a post goes by that someone can't resist a way to knock Ballard.

Nice to see a positive thread. Thanks JH. I think we are on a positive course after some years of misfortune and some not so good coaching. I thing Ballard hit a homerun with Steichen and SS seems to have had success putting together a good staff. Really like our new OL coach.

Hope with all of the publicity the IRS doesn't come after her😗

Dr ChowS\ said he does not feel he is injury prone. I agree with your observations.

This is the Colts future. Do you really think he is out seeking these opinions on his own, that he is out on an island alone. The Colts medical staff is leading this medical endeavor, don't kid yourself. They don't want him at risk of ruining his career any more than AR himself.

I was under the impression he was getting 3 opinions. Don't know who the three are.

Ballard hired him after a very long intensive search.Give him some credit. Would guess they have some things incommon or he wouldn't have hired him. My guess is they have a lot in common and will work great together.

Not a clerk but a carryout boy. Carried groceries for my mom. From my alma mater.😜

Problem is it is his throwing arm and the part of his game that needs the most work is his throwing acturacy which he can work on now.

And you know for certain he was faking an injure? You have a great deal of inside info? When did I speak out of turn? And what claim did I make that I can't back up?Did I state that you dislike JT? What clarification do I need ? .

Give it up. He's a Colt like it or not.
