I dunno.... but I can guarantee the other owners who wanted NE to pay, fairly or not, for ALL perceived wrongdoings over the years with this one case.....will probably make sure the Pats are policed very closely going forward.... or not....
-
That said, yes, we paid a ton for Simon, and Bill P. is right, it didn't work out in the end.....especially when Simon went after the money after being shown the door
-
Whether Simon was less than his normal self when he signed in Indy or not, it was obvious our Defense with him WAS good ENOUGH when coupled with our offense to do special things...... because when he got hurt, whether due to being fat and overeating as you claim, or not..... we were clearly NOT good enough on defense to do special things, It's irrelevant how much better he was in his Philly years. when healthy he was what we needed.

as reported by Fox News....

Cory Simon was IMO a really bad sign as Polian filled his pockets with dough after he gained what looked to be about 100 Lbs. He was so far out of shape and also appeared to have lost his desire for the game.
Polian really did stink up the D line after that signing but most of his drafts the last 5 years were just bad. I'm too tired got go back and look at them as its 3 AM here but it very much coincides with him promoting his kid.
Our defense was great with Corey Simon here. He did an awesome job anchoring our Tampa 2 defense for the better part of a year. Then he got hurt/lost his desire for the game..... He was great when he got here, done when we went seperate ways.... and brought in Booger.

Another free agent bust by Grigson, go figure. Not drafting Malcom Brown looks really good now. I hate to complain since this team has some nice young pieces but I get depressed at the thought of how great this team would be if just a few draft picks and free agent money had been used wisely. If Andrew Luck isn't MVP leading this weak team to the playoffs I'll eat sawdust.
You hate to complain, but will...... Bust huh? He had no chronic injury, or history of them before signing with us. Hindsight is 20/20. He hasn't worked out as planned, but most free agents do not. That's a fact. Solid, healthy, productive players rarely hit FA. When they do, they do not always stay that way. The few that manage those two hurdles have to fit into a new team, culture, and sometimes system..... That aside, You feel that this team plus Art Jones was leaps and bounds better than this team without Art Jones? The Colts will find a way to adjust, I for one, am glad this is our ONLY significant injury at this point of the preseason.
-
Grigson better come up with an Art Jones contingency. I am sick and tired of hearing about quality linemen on both sides of the ball available from Alex Mack to Wilfork to Knighton to La'el Collins to Fairley and he doesn't even consider them.
In all practicality, Alex Mack, while TECHNICALLY available.....never was.
-
They aren't paying Carter much, but they gave him a multi-year deal, and had competition to sign him.....The Colts had to outbid a few teams for him, and having Luck, as well as our reputation for being a team that gives ample chances to UDFA, especially CFL players, helped us get him. The Vikings wanted him pretty badly. No way he clears waivers if cut. Carolina is also desperate for cheap quick fix WR's with potential an added bonus.... Aside from that, yes, Carter is a UDFA.
-
It shows how fragile the receiving corps can be...just look at Green Bay.
If TY gets dinged and old Andre is out (which he will be at some point) we are down to Moncrief, Dorsett and Carter. The Colts should seriously consider keeping 6 WRs on the roster
for the first time in years and Griff would be #6. If we keep the "normal" number of 5 WRs, we run the risk of playing one or two raw WRs off the PS giving us a diminished passing attack which is the 'bread and butter' of the team.
Johnson has missed one game in the last three seasons...... what makes you so sure he will miss time?
-
Brown is very much still around, and I think would have to see some extenuating circumstances arise to not make the 53......especially with Toler's neck issue and injury history. I like Varga, but they may try and stash him on the PS unless he's got ST value I am unaware of
-
Yeah, this makes me "that guy" to a degree.... hurry up and let the season begin!!!!
Seeing as the Seahawks are adding Lynch's buddy Fred Jackson..... if they cut either Robert Turbin, or and more likely, Christine Michael...... would either one, and especially Michael, be worth a look as 3rd/4th RB? supposing they would even come here..... although it's not like either one would find a team to let them be the surefire #2 back this time of season.... Michael has good numbers in limited action, but has a bit of a fumbling problem..... he is bigger than I remembered, at 5'-10" 220 lbs....
-
Feel for the guy, but dang..... whatever the reason, he just never was what advertised. After the Trade to Indy, it's just like his head or heart weren't in it anymore....
-
LOL Legacy....
-
I wonder if he has siblings named balljoint and idlerarm?
-
If our achilles heel is some dude with the ignominious moniker of "Tyrod" we were doomed before we began...... That name ranks up there with some of the all time lows.....
-
Suppose the last spot might not be decided yet in case Jones is placed on PUP, or GULP! IR

Maybe there was specific language in his contract or the CBA in regards to his contract that made it more financially sensible to release him when he was "healthy" rather than injured?
-
According to Overthecap.com, saves us 3.25 Million, and adds only 500k in dead money against this years cap.... also, didn't notice t his, but we have 11+ mil in dead money against the cap that I believe is all off after this year..... not bad
-
So long Donald, we hardly knew ye!

I imagine 49'ers and Texans fans feel the same way about Johnson and Gore signing with us....

You know who else had a false start or two every game? Tarik Glenn........ oh how I wish we had the Glenn of his Prime right now!

Just glad it's over. Now we get to see if all these NE fans are right, and Brady is going to "exact divine vengeance" upon the league.....or, if he is himself, just a year older....
