    Those guys didn’t say anything about it from what I just saw. And if they did, it would mean literally nothing. They both said Manning was going to be hired in front office by 2017 draft. They are just reaching for straws hoping they get something right. Anyone can do that. Watch

     

    According to my sources Jon Gruden will not be leaving the booth for the Colts HC Job. 

    Your sources?

    Hear me out regarding Pass Rush

    I understand to some this may be a stupid post, however it is serious in it's intent and involves an interesting dynamic where coaching and player development are concerned.

     

    I'm going to list 2 known pass rushers whom have had success in the nfl so far along side their measurable of weight and height

     

    Von Miller: 6'3 250

    J. Clowney: 6'5 270

     

    In comparison I'm now going to list 2 players currently on Colts rosters, who have been experimented with for a couple years now. One player has been here for a couple years and the other is a newer addition. I'm also going to list their measurable in comparison to the 2 players listed above.

     

    Eric Swoope: 6'5 258 ( previous basketball player )

    Ross Travis: 6'7 235 ( previous basketball player )

     

    Both players have Basketball ability where their positioning have been big man oriented. Fighting for positioning, rebounding etc. Body on body contact

    Both are in height qualifications especially when playing from a standing position where wing span comes into play not only for batting down passes but also reachability to grasp defenders.

     

    Travis would need to bulk up and add weight/muscle which should not take much

     

    My question is this: Why hasn't anyone ever thought to potentially teach, coach, transform these 2 guys into pass rushers?

     

    It just seems odd, that in a league where pass rushers are not really accessible that some teams would attempt to take players blessed with measurable and transform them. it happens with other positions sometimes, why can't the colts staff transform these 2 into outside LB assets? 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This is * foolish 

    Well, Gore wants to come back.

    I think it's hilarious that MOST of you didn't want him back and now are saying the same thing I've been saying all along. 

     

    I really don't get most of you on this site.  some of your thinking makes me bang my head against the wall.  It only becomes apparent when you hear it from Superman or from the media.  

     

    Wake up Colts fans.   Gore is the best RB we have had since Edge.    He is a million times better that Mack!!!!  Turbin is better than Mack!!!!

    Some of you display a severe lack of perspective. This whole 'finish the season in silence because they should be ashamed of themselves' angle is what's actually shameful. 

     

    By the way, I'm not interested in seeing the team carry Pagano off on their shoulders. But if they were to pay him some kind of tribute as they left the field, win or loss, I'd be fine with that. He's a coach they largely respect and admire, and he's probably gone the next morning. 

     

    It's not about the win/loss record, it's not about whether that game means anything. The Colts' season has been over for a long time now, no one on the team or the staff is happy about their failures this year, and no one would be celebrating the season. It would be about sending off their coach in a way that shows that they care about him. And that's fine.

    If they want to give him a game ball in the locker room.  Then so be it.  No issues from me.

    I don't see us doing that anyway, I think people are being sarcastic that are wanting this. Even if we did, who really cares as he is getting fired. He was a main fixture here for 6 years and was a Good Coach his first 3 seasons. So it is what it is. The next Coach we hire has to make it to the AFC Title Game if Luck is healthy, Chuck did so if the new Coach doesn't it's a fail.

    I don't think you can judge a coach by making it to the AFCCG or bust.  If the team is prepared.  Uses good clock management and decision making in the sidelines and surrounding himself with a good coaching staff will be the sign of a good HC among other things

    Who is giving us a present 8 and a future 1st rounder for the No. 3 pick.

    Again......fantasy football 

     

    WE pick 3rd..Take the best player there (not a QB or RB)

     

    Don't overthink it

    Actually accordning to the chart it would be a very feasible trade.  #3 is 2200.  #8.1 is 1400.  8.3 is 230. And the future number one is typically scored as a second round pick so that would be another 500.  For a total of 2130

    I remember last year the last game when Luck brought the team back to win the game and came off the field celebrating and pumping his fist how much crap he got for being excited...

     

    And some of you want to see one of the worst coaches in the NFL over the last few yrs carried off on their shoulders....

     

    Pathetic

    Ebeneezer's last name is Scrooge.

    'nuff said.

    And again. Whatever...  I couldn't give a rats butt what any of you think about me or call me.

     

    If expecting better for this team than what we have seen makes me Ebeneezer then so be it....

     

    I won't be going away with my opinions anytime soon

    I've evolved my thinking as I watched the Colts play this year.

    At this moment, I now see PASH RUSH (Specifically DE) as the largest position weakness on the team.

    I expect to see most of these positions nailed down with FA's to allow maximum flexibility on draft day.

     

    DEFENSE:
    DE

    ILB

    OLB

    S

    CB

    DT

     

    OFFENSE:

    T

    G

    TE

    WR

    RB

     

    At DE who do you replace?  Hankins or Anderson?

    Not everything is about wins and losses. Don't be so shallow. 

     

    He should be fired because he's not a good enough coach. That doesn't mean he can't be shown some love on the way by players who obviously respect him. 

    I never mentioned wins and losses.   Do be so presumptuous
