The FS and C positions moving forward? Who do you think he'll sign or will we try to fix these in the draft (a risky move as we have no 1st, but after that 2012 draft class you can't doubt his ability to find starters later)
And do you think we will sign someone at a different position? Any ideas?
This is just a way to try to twiddle my thumbs as we wait.. Want to gauge everyone's expectations!
I believe we have no first and no fourth round pick. I am not expecting anything great in the draft.

How the heck does Denver have cap space???This is annoying me!
They let Moreno and Decker go. They apparently are going to let DRC go and there is always a way to make some room. Peyton may restructure his deal to make some room. I think Talib and Ware will really help the Broncos.
-
I want to see him in a Colts Uniform, but I don't know if it's a possibilty.
Denver. He is visiting there today.
-
there, fixed it for you
No, I has it right the first time, he has already failed.

Is our defense really that much better today than it was yesterday?
We've added Jones and Jackson.... fine.
And we've lost Bethea with no obvious replacement of equal value out there.
I'd say we're slightly better... but, as Superman noted, we still need another pass rusher (Werner?) We still need a starting FS... and we need better depth everywhere.....
So... maybe we're slightly better today... with the promise of getting better over the next two months....
OK....
If you are waiting on Werner, be prepared to wait a long, long time.
-
Lets assume we go into the season with our defense as it stands now.
Ricky Jean Francois/Cory Redding, Josh Chapman, and Arthur Jones, OLB being Robert Mathis and Erik Walden/Bjoern Werner, ILB being D'Qwell Jackson and Jerrell Freeman, with our secondary being Greg Toler, LaRon Landry, Delano Howell, and Vontae Davis (feels so good having him back :clap: )
How would you feel about this? Obviously everyone would probably like to see a new safety in place of Howell, which likely will happen in free agency or in the draft.
Slightly better. I do not think Jackson is an enormous improvement but Arthur Jones is. When you add in having no replacement at safety, I think it is about even or perhaps a little better than last year.

being a Connecticut resident,id be sick if Donald brown leaves
Could I offer you a barf bag??

950 yards and 11 touchdowns...not quite Eddie lacy numbers, but very respectable
How many yards per carry?

Than why was he so good in Cleveland?
He wasn't good in Cleveland and that is why they traded him for a low #1 pick. They knew he was a bust.
-
Um, why? We have Richardson, Bradshaw, and Ballard. Not to mention I think we've still got Kerwynn Williams stashed somewhere.
How many do we need?
Because Richardson couldn't get yardage with your mother defending him. He is no running back at all. BUST!!
-
Yes...I still fully believe Richardson has the chance to be a premier back in this league and I won't believe otherwise till after this season with a full training camp in our system and an improved line.
That won't help Richardson. He will quickly be the third string RB. He would already be gone if Grigson didn't have to defend the trade. It was awful and Richardson is even more awful.
-
There is a reason why he talks about this stuff on the NFL network and doesn't make decisions.
You have to give him at least a full training camp with this team before writing him off.
CJ2K is a solid player but we don't really need a RB.
Yes, we do need a RB.
-
Yeah, I heard that stupid comment. T-Rich will be fine as long as we fix the line.
No, he won't. He is right, we are going to eat the Richardson deal, it is just a matter of when.

Bill Tobin drafted Marvin
Thank you, like I said, I wasn't sure.
-
Not sure how that means the Niners think he's the best safety in free agency.
They signed him, doesn't that mean they thought he was the best safety for the money available?
-
Don't forget about Curtis Painter and also trading a future first round pick for Tony Uhgo
There is always good and bad. Painter is still in the league..

From the man himself:
@JimIrsay: Glad to welcome back Vontae Davis to the team! #COLTSTRONG
This forum is a hoot. Most of the day yesterday, people were saying how great Davis is and how we needed to re-sign him. Then the rumor started that he was signing elsewhere and he became the biggest overpriced bum in the entire NFL. Now that we have him for $9.75 million per year he is back to being great again. People post with their emotions and not their heads. Hey, I think it was a good signing and, yes, it is too much but welcome to the world of good young CBs in the NFL today.
-
We could also compare what Grigson found in his first draft compared to what Polian found in his in Indy.
He took Manning and ......... Nothing.
Come on, he took Edgerin James, Marvin Harrison (I think he drafted him), Reggie
Wayne, Dwight Freeney, signed Robert Mathis and Jeff Saturday, Bob Sanders, many, many more.
-
His favorite safety in free agency is Antoine Bethea. That should tell you everything you need to know about Bill Polian's opinion on free agency.
Apparently the 49ers agreed with him.
-
So do TE's and that does not make TEs #1 WRs. Speed and size has nothing to do with being a #1 WR. IMO, it has to do with getting open no matter what and catching a majority of the balls thrown your way.
The Colts have a bunch of little backs. They need a big guy like Decker (if not him) that can get open and go up to get the ball in the end zone.

ENJOY TWODAYS "TWOSDAY TWOFER": 1. Should the Colts have signed CB Vontae Davis to a contract extension when they traded a 2nd round pick for him - instead of only getting 2 years of service for that investment ?? 2. Channel your inner Ryan Grigson: Which ONE veteran free agent (from another team) would you want to sign @ 4:01 PM today ??I don't care, I just don't want him to trade any more of our draft picks.

Receiver is plug and play though. Look how good T.Y. Hilton has been and his rookie deal was only worth $2 million. Or look at Keenan Allen on the Chargers. He's given them great value and he's only a rookie. The point being, that if you draft a good WR early, it pays dividends early most of the time. And if it doesn't it's okay because you know they'll get better. A FA doesn't pan out and you're out of a good amount of money that could've gone to another player. Rodgers was thrown into the Wolves and he did just fine
Plus WR's are notorious for commanding high level contracts when they hit FA. Everyone wants number 1 receiver money.
Drafting a receiver is 50/50 just like every other position. Yes, you would save money but Decker is a proven player and there would be no guess work with him. You would be signing a known star. Also, you would be taking something away from a team you have to go through to get to the Super Bowl.
-
This would be a really nice move IMO. T-Rich, Ballard, and Bradshaw can be unstoppable behind a revamped line.
And when management finally admits that Richardson is a bum, Bradshaw will gain yards behind any line.

Where does Ware land?

I don't. I want to see Peyton get back to the Super Bowl and they could just do it. They have weakened New England a bit and I don't think the Colts put any fear into them yet. I like Elway too, I think he has done a great job there.
