I would be happy that we've added some more talent.  

 

I would say that looking at the list of FA's there is more defensive line talent out there that we could kick the tires on.  Since all the crazy contracts have gone, it shouldn't be too expensive to do so.  

 

I think Zach Brown is also available as an ILB.  He could be considered as well.  

I'd love to see us pick up Zach Brown. He is a true prototypical MLB that tackles very well and is always around the ball. IMO we would have a very solid trio of LBers with Brown, Walker & Leonard! If/when healthy, Ajayi would be a nice addition to our RB stable as well.

Strawman argument.

89 tackles in 12 games last season. He's a run stuffing SS. INT's are not his game. I'm glad we're resigning him. However, I do agree that he's not elite by any means and hope we draft a SS to groom and eventually take over starting duties. I'd much rather see Geathers in a rotational role. 

[[Erickson] Clayton Geathers is finalizing a deal to return to the Colts (Merge)]

Good deal, glad he's back. He is not elite talent and has had injury concerns. However, he is a leader on our defense and an asset to the team especially when we play 3 safeties. 

[Report: OLB Aaron Lynch visiting Colts tomorrow]

Would be happy with a 1 yr prove it deal. Lynch has potential, he just needs to keep his head on straight and work hard. 

[Former GB Safety Kentrell Brice visiting Colts today]

Please Ballard get Phillips, Geathers, Boston or Berry!! We don't need another JAG.

[Adrian Phillips anyone?]

I'd be very happy with it. Phillips is only 26, had 94 tackles, 9 pass defense, an interception, forced fumble, pro bowl & all pro selection all while only starting 7 games! I'm sure he's hungry for a more defined starting role and shouldn't break the bank. He's a true SS and also played some LBer like Geathers done for us last yr. I feel like he'd be a very good fit with Hooker & Farley.

IF he can pass a physical and stay healthy I would love to have Ajayi. However, that is a big IF. 

[Colts keeping Chris Milton on one-year deal]

Well that's exciting...

[Malik Jackson Cut....]

Really hope Ballard is on the phone with Malik's agent right now. Big FA pick up for somebody. 

[Inman wants to end his career with the colts]

Sign the man! He loves Indy and Indy loves him. We should keep the guy around. He would make us a great #3 WR.

[Ross Travis Signs One Year Deal]

Happy we re-signed Travis, he's got great size, speed and hands. He's a decent blocker but a good pass catcher and route runner. IF he can stay healthy I believe he has a legitimate shot at making the roster. 

[TE Group]

My opinion would be to keep 4. Ebron, Doyle, Allie-Cox & Travis. Im not ready to write off Ross Travis, he has excellent size, hands and speed. 

[Should the Colts bring Demaryius Thomas in?]

Pass

[Should the Colts extend Ebron?]

I'd wait and resign him before he hits free agency next year as long as he has another productive season and stays healthy. 

[Colts extend RG Mark Glowinski [Merge]]

Ballard has talked alot about rewarding those that earn it on the field and locker room. Great deal for both sides. 

[Colts draft spot]

Highest priorities for me are: 1. Rush DE 2. D-line 3. WR 4. CB

I can see Ballard adding a TE to be#3 behind Doyle and Ebron.

we'll see what allie-cod can do and perhaps Travis can earn a spot next year.  It is a very important position in this offense, so Ballard will look closely on depth, especially after all the injuries and roster moves we've seen this year.

I agree. Im a big fan of Ross Travis as a recieving TE (not sure how great his blocking is). If he can get healthy I'd like to see him a Colt again and see what he can do next yr. He's got excellent size, speed and hands for a TE. 

[Week 14 Playoff Scenarios and who to root for]

Why would we want to root for the Titans to beat the Jags when TN is in the race with us and Jacksonville is not?

A lot of underwhelming options there. 

I agree.  Bell & Cobb are the only 2 on that list I'd be excited about. 

[Bills release Kelvin Benjamin, should we?]

I don't really see why not. Colts still have a shot at the playoffs...and Benjamin would help them.

 

Plus, if Ballard really likes what he sees...maybe Benjamin becomes that vet FA WR they sign this offseason. Think of it like an audition.

"Think of it like an audition"...I was going to post the same thing shastamasta. Same way I'd look at it. 

[T.Y. Hilton or Marvin Harrison...]

Shouldn't even be a question...MARVIN!!! If TY played with Reggie and Marv he'd be the #3 WR.

[On a lighter note, anybody else love the uniforms?]

THIS! Home=all blue unis with white helmet.  Away=all white unis with blue helmet. That's what I would like to see.

Inman is why I do not think we should use one of our 2 #2 picks on wr. I think we should get a top wr from FA (and Inman could be our #3) or let Inman be #2 unless cain can beat him out of it.

Yeah, I personally don't think we need to break the bank for a WR. We only got a small sample size of Cain but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him as a solid #2 or #3 option for Luck next yr. I'd also like to see Inman as the #2 WR this yr. Grant/Rogers should not be out snapping him. They can both go next season or stay for cheap as backups but nothing more.
