    Frank is the problem.  His makeup just is not head coach, CEO/Leader.....  He should be game planning and scheming.  

     

    No, I don't think you have to be a screaming jerk.... But you have to LEAD and INSPIRE 

     

    I honestly think Frank is a good HC, but he IS NOT a good OC.  It's too much going on to be a HC and OC and if you're not SUPER good at either one then it makes it that much harder.  Even Andy Reid in all of his greatness has Eric B as his OC.  And Frank is not on either of their levels when it comes to HC'ing and OC'ing.

    Reich does not have this team ready again……. The front office consistently overrates the talent on this roster. Throws too much of the cap dollars to the wrong positions. Ryan does not look good so far


    tbh, Ryan looks ok. Can’t help a receiver dropped the ball and another couldn’t make a play on a deep ball.  Playcalling looks to be the issue right now, like almost every year for us.

    I saw that PFF has the Colts as the 2nd most improved team in the NFL right below the Broncos. For how quiet and displeased most of us have been with this FA that's pretty impressive. I would still like to grab Mathieu if the price is right and maybe OBJ/Duane Brown. Mathieu is such a polarizing player in the nfl, I believe his presence would convince some middle tier defensive players to come here for the cheap and OBJ tweeted earlier about being a fan of the Ryan trade to Colts. 


    the thing about this team is that it isn’t necessarily a bad team.  We just had mediocre to bad players in the most important spots:  QB, WR, DE.  So for us, making one move is the same as another team making several moves.  
     

    despite his shortcomings, ballard has put this team in position to make or break.  We have the qb, we have the de, now we just need that wr.  Add some depth and I think this team does better than last year.

    I would have absolutely gave the 6th for Woods. He is a good WR. Ballard might have reached out who knows. We are t making many moves tho I know that. 

     

    I do thin MPJ is good.  I do think if he's healthy PC can become probably the best slot WR in the league, but after that...that's it.  When you compare our WR room to other teams we are definitely in the bottom.  Woods would've definitely upgraded this room and for a 6th round pick and his contract I think it would've been worth it.  Maybe Ballard has eyes on someone in the draft.  Who knows.

    Ballard said he liked the WR group he has. He said he would still add competition but I think the draft is what he is looking at. Apparently he wants to keep cap room for the mid tier guys in the next two weeks. 


    liking the group you have is ok, but we should always be looking to improve.  And I’m a ballard fan.  Maybe he’s banking on Parris being healthy again.  I don’t know.  Like what would a 6th round in pick 2023 would’ve costed us?

    I had to stop myself yesterday from writing an angry Ballard after seeing some of the moves teams were making. Once I took another dive into the remaining free agent pool it's pretty crazy how much talent is still out there. WR is starting to get a bit shallow but with the Rams taking calls for Woods that's a possibility. Your guess is as good as mine for QB, I'm still a bit flabbergasted but am starting to think they like one of the rookies in the draft. Shoring up FS and adding a quality DB on paper puts us as one of the top D's in the nfl and we have a lot of quality pieces on offense but have glaring needs at Qb, WR2, and a TE.

     

    Have some faith and take a look at the remaining FA's before you get too mad!!!!


    this, only thing I’d say I’m disappointed in is not grabbing a WR and DB.  But I can see why  we couldn’t get one without having a QB.  I could see moving up into the late first round and grabbing a receiver using our second and Washingtons 3rd.  If we can grab a DB, I’d be ok.

     

    also thinking ballard might have his eye on a LT in the draft or Pryor is making the change.

    Wow! The Super Bowl Champion Rams are adding Allen Robinson on 3-year, $46.5 million deal. 


    crap, that isn’t a bad deal at all.  Hopefully  ballard is banking on pulling OBJ away or maybe he’s thinking about the draft.  Being told this draft is deep in WRs. Wouldn’t mind grabbing another MPJ in the second round but man would’ve been happy grabbing Allen.
     

    and we also don’t have a qb which probably dissuaded Allen if we were actually speaking with him
