It kept feeling like something was wrong. Now we know.

Seattles defense was the bigger lynch pin though bc that's what allowed Seattles offense to play that style of football. If they were not good then that would have forced young Russel Wilson to be more of a passer. And that does what to Lynch value?

He hasn't always been that, but RBBC has always been his model. The QB, the OL, and in some cases WR are your bigger pay offs. RBBC has always been the Patriots model as well.

I'm fine if we can find a happy medium with JT, but let's also remember that the Colts only Super Bowl win during the Manning years did not include a JT type, Edgerrin James type runner. It was more of a 1,2 punch between Addai and Rhodes.. A running back has value but it's the easiest piece on the offense to replace without taking major bite out of the attack. The QB, the OL, and the WR corps are more critical. Heck the Patriots never dish out big money at RB or WR. They only spend at QB and OL. I think a RBBC allows you to be more diverse and gives teams more tendencies to prepare for.

Problem is the other team that did win the game had a RBBC as well so it's not the greatest argument for having a JT with a high salary.

I think Offensively part of what we will see with the Colts use of AR will be an emphasis on TE throws in the passing game similar to what the Ravens do with Lamar Jackson. I believe that's why we have so many dynamic tight ends.

how did we handle the Detroit preseason after joint practices last year?

how did we get 44 sacks last year if true? we had a few vs Buffalo as well.

It still seems as if Cross is getting everything figured out. Hadn't seen that moment yet to make me feel like he's got it. I still think he's more of a SS than a FS but so far I haven't seen him standout at anything. I trust he will at some point I guess.

Ballard said you can count on the OL being good this year according to Bring The Juice podcast guy while he was at camp. This is why I posted pretty much for those that are worried. I'm taking it that Ballard has a method to what we think appears to be madness. He is confident about how they have and are addressing last year's problems.

could be for special teams

The Texans OL coach is our coach from last year so that is probably not good for CJ Stroud. Not a good choice by them.

I think

still time. Ballard has put his stamp on the OL being good this year so I'm sure there's a method to the madness

now we just need a few more moves at CB and LB to make the competition better.

if I remember right Tabor was well regarded coming out of college as a corner but ended up being too slow so now hes a safety. Harrison I liked a lot coming out of Bama. Used to play for Bradley in Jacksonville.

I said before I don't see anything serious going on with him until preseason is over. He usually doesn't play anyway and this hold out allows him to stay off the ankle.

has his ankle been cleared medically yet?

Why would he tell them he is going to play or practice if he doesn't want to be there? I would assume he would just stay away.

I also thought he should have scored on that QB run he did in the redzone, but it looked to me that he dove for the endzone a bit early instead of taking a few more steps before either diving or just bulldozing somebody over.

I recall Strachan having a nice catch.

I like Hull

I like Mackenzie and Downs. Im still wondering to myself what happened with Breshard Perryman? Haven't seen him anywhere lately. About the only deep threat we have outside of Pierce and maybe Dulin. Speaking of Dulin I didn't see him out there either.

I thought Rush looked good with the pick 6.
