We better keep Ehlinger...Young Jim Harbaugh and that's probably perfect type of QB for this particular team...

We have the money, just go all in on Bridgewater, Winston, or even Rivers for a couple years...We can win with a good QB..

Ballard has been a GM for 2 seasons, and the Colts are his first gig at that level. If you think Irsay hired him and said "I don't care what you do, spend all you want", you're pretty naive. He had to sell his resume like anyone else. And he had to sell his plan for the team.
Some of the crap above is simply silly. If Ballard leaked anything, it would put a black mark by his name and would follow him every where he went. He would never be trusted again... Where do you get this crap.
Indy is a small market team. Even large market teams have "budgets". Every owner has a different opinion on how money should or should not be spent. Leaving money unspent is unspent for what reason? A 1 year deal has no real impact to next year. A 2 year deal doesn't have much of an impact either given our project cap situation in 2020.
And yes, we don't know. The fact that you act like you know more than the rest of us is pretty funny. But it wouldn't be the first for you either.
This my main concern..If we don't spend it we have no chance of possibly improving by bringing a guy like McCoy in...We have plenty of cap so why not bring some guys in that could make the difference in the playoffs or be insurance if the young guys don't develop or get hurt...I can understand the philosophy when rebuilding or if we were against the cap, but we are favorites to contend..It seems like now would be the time you spend to add pieces that could make the difference...By not spending there is a guarantee you won't improve by bringing in talent, if you spend and they don't work out you can always cut or trade them...By not trying you will never know...Also, injuries WILL happen so why not spend to the cap at least with 1 or 2 yr deals that won't effect future? I'd rather have a backup option then not do nothing and when someone gets hurt or has a had year not have an option behind them...Even if we overpay for 2 years for McCoy why not do it???? It is always better too have extra tools, than not enough, especially if you have the means to get them...

If you notice the teams that contend year after year spend to the cap.. Patriots, Chiefs, Steelers, Rams, Seahawks..They don't have years back to back to back 50 million under the cap...I know we are good, but we could be better, just saying.. I'm not sure Irsay means it when he says he will spend...
-
So if we don't spend the 13 million for 1 or 2 years what does that get us? How does that make us better??I could understand if we had cap issues but we don't...

I didn't realize Cleveland picked up Steve Wilks as their D Coordinator. That's a good pick up for them.
Cleveland ain't gonna be no baby..It would not be fun to play in that stadium in the playoffs either...

McCoy also had 21 QB pressures to go along with 6 sacks..That is very good for a DT..He would instantly be our best player at the position..This is a no brainer if we truly want to win Super Bowl..Zero risk..We have been way under the cap for years now going straight into Irsays bank account..Time to go for it, no more we are still rebuilding excuse..A 2 year deal will have zero cap ramifications down the road..

The man is 31 years old. Shouldn't get anymore than 2-3 year deal and the cash shouldn't be any more than what we gave to Houston maybe less. If somebody else wants to break the bank larger than that then let them have at it. He'll make us a better team up the middle, but it doesn't guarantee a superbowl. No 1 player does that because it's a team effort. You're not seriously telling me if he wanted 17 million per we should just pay it because we got it right?
For one he won't, but I'd rather spend it to try and get even better than just let it sit..It will be a 2 yr deal, won't affect signing our young guys when they are due..

The money could be the only problematic thing
Figured I'd see one of these comments pretty quick, this forum is so predictable..We have the most CAP in NFL why not use on an All-Pro at a position of need when we are on verge of competing for a Super Bowl? What are we saving for? How about making a bold move and trying to win it all?Also, unlike Suh, McCoy is Perfect scheme fit...If we don't sign him it's because Irsay doesn't want to spend period..

I have to assume by this, your stance is not to pick him up? I am still saying we should. Just my opinion though. If we don't pick him up then we won't know if it was a good idea. If we do, I hope I don't eat my words. He was signed by the Rams last year because they had super bowl aspirations. He made an impact and they made it. This year, we are looking poised to make one of those runs. The cap space, need at interior Dline, and his production and still bening available just seems to be a no brainer to me. I guess I don't value culture over talent as much as others here and the coaching staff.
I can't read the whole article unless I subscribe BTW but looks interesting.
Agreed, I want to win and 100% know he would be an asset and was the difference for the Rams, and almost got them the Lombardi..I think it comes down to us being cheap..No more we are building excuses, one or two impact vets can be what gets us to the top..A 1 yr 12 million dollar deal will have no cap ramifications..There is minimal risk and potentially major gain by making this move, it would give us elite talent on all 3 levels of the defense and free up guys like Houston, Turay,Sheard, and the Maniac to make plays because Suh has to be accounted for still even at this stage in his career..

Exactly. He was average in the reg season but back to being an elite player in the playoffs. If we scooped him for the playoffs I'd be all in, but that's an unlikely scenario.
Suh's average is still better than anything we have at that position..Odds are he would prosper in the culture we have here and we would get his best in my opinion..

You would be a fool to not want Suh..We have plenty of cap to use on a 1 or 2 yr deal that won't affect cap in long run..He was Rams best player in playoffs and will help us stop the run and get pressure up the middle..There will be injuries too, always is and he is a nice horse to have in the stable...Could be the difference on defense..

Giants haven't been making good choices lately, the end is near for Gettleman.. I'll go ahead and predict that now..I do like the Lawrence pick though..

You can't teach a willingness to tackle. You can coach up form, but the willingness to tackle you either have or you don't. We have the ability to do a variety of things within our scheme, but changing the heart of the scheme to fit one guy throws the rest of it off.
Why get a top man CB at the top of the 2nd that will be maybe average in your scheme when you can get other players that will add more value and still land a CB that's a perfect fit a round or 2 later?
Fair enough... I'm starting to hope for Deebo Samuel even over Metcalf now anyways...We don't necessarily need a cb , at least not this early as you pointed out..

Our defense is predicated on the CBs being very good in run support. It's literally how the defense is designed. Putting a player in it that can lock down in man coverage, but doesn't play great zone and picks and chooses when to tackle is no good. He'd be a liability and a waste of a draft pick.
With a Tampa 2, you find guys that fit your scheme, not shove square pegs in round holes. That's also the beauty of the scheme. Guys that fit it can usually be had way later in the draft than lockdown man corners.
We trust me I get what you are saying I just like his talent I think he can tackle if that's what he has to do..He will get us turnovers and lockdown big time guys we can also adjust schemes to talent we have since we have legitimate NFL coaches now...

You may be right, but Greedy would seem to fit better in man to man vs a zone scheme that we mostly run
He doesnt like to tackle....... Thats a MUST in this system
He gets interceptions, and can lock down other teams number 1 receivers and will be BPA..Some good O-Lineman left too, but we need WR and defense more...All the DT's I liked all got picked up it sucks..Hoping for a combo of Greedy and Metcalf, or AJ Brown with first 2 picks..
Greedy can tackle just picks when he wants to...lol
-
Metcalf is dropping because of injuries, his measurables are Calvin Johnson like, I hope we get him and Greedy Williams..
-
We better get Greedy Williams if he is there at 34

Fournette isn't what he was , he got ran into the ground at LSU...He doesn't have the explosion he used to possess.
-
Simmons is a monster as well if he is 100% ready to roll...This draft is stacked on D-Line!! We should get 1 maybe 2...
-
Most of the top defensive lines rotate in a lot of guys, and if Lawrence can even play 40- 50% of the time it will be impactful, and open things up for everyone else because he cannot be blocked with 1 man..

Thank you brother. But you can't tell em nothing heh. Reminds me of last year when I was beating the Nelson drum
I could even make the argument his teammates Ferrell and Wilkins look a lot better because of Lawrence..

You might be stirring the pot but I seriously do want Lawrence. I think people are sleeping on him and trying to pass cause his size. His size is what is great. He's huge and still crashes the pocket, stops the fun and puts a ton of pressure on the QB. He also frees up everyone else taking up blocks. No brainer. He's better than Sheldon and that Vic guy who both went first round
No pot stirring I really do want Lawrence in a Colt uniform..I've seen multiple experts compare him to Wilfork...We have never had a player like him, he isn't just a run stuffer either, he pushes the pocket...

Richardson Had A Good 2nd Half
in Colts Football
Posted
To be fair Richardson put that pass right on Granson's hands on 3rd down..He catches that its probably over..
