could this D rookie class be close to what the 2012 rookie class was to the offense?
Only if you excluded Luck from the comparison.
-
I think having a QB who can scramble well threw a bit of a wrench into the run defense. We should have a better idea with a run happy jets team and a statue fitzmagic.
-
And the problem with that is, once other teams get tape on how to tame our offense.....more times then not, its successfully duplicated. For such a "explosive" offense, they get shut down quite easily.
We'll see how many other teams have the enough defensive talent to duplicate it. That bills D is good.

Oh, for the love of God!
pretty sure that was sarcasm.

If I remember what other top tackles are getting, we got a pretty good deal with Castonzo on this one
According to over the cap 10.5 per year is tied for 4th with Ryan Clady. Above him are Joe Thomas, Tyron Smith and Trent Williams. Might be a little high but if this is 4 years of 10.5 plus this year at current (around 7.3 I think) then this is a pretty decent deal.

One thing to keep in mind about free agency is players have to want to come here and it's not all about the money. Look at Jacksonville this offseason. They spent a lot this offseason and brought in free agents that are mostly perennial backups with a few starts and paid them starter money to start for them. Sound familiar? With the success on the field over the last 3 seasons the quality of players who want to play for the Colts has gone up every offseason but the ones we could afford/attract initially were not very good for the most part.

Wonder what happened with Dorset
Was he in line to be KR? He was in line to be PR but not KR after like the first week of camp.

One thing is certain: The NFL did not do the patriots many favors by destroying the evidence. The combination of patriots success plus actions that may have given them an unfair advantage will just lead to rampant speculation if you hide and destroy the evidence that shows how far their actions go and how much advantage (if any) may have been gained. Because of that this will never die.

I don't quite understand Sporttrac...
When you hold the mouse over Jone's "dead cap" figure... it changes to a lower number ($1,100,000) if cut "post June 1"
What would be the total amount the Colts would lose (in dead money) if Jones were to be cut?
If cut post June 1st the dead cap hit is split between the current season and the next season. So instead of 3.3 dead in one year you get 1.1 dead in one year and 2.2 in the next.

I don't know if Kravitz is stirring the pot with nothing or if there is some friction.
But...
The Colts have lost very badly to elite teams during the Pagano era...by a wide score...yet I can't think of one time the Colts trounced a very good team. Their wins have all been close. Maybe Cincinnati last year was the one good team that the Colts dominated.
SF in 2013? Denver in the playoffs? Maybe even Seattle in 2013. The score difference wasn't as huge but those were some pretty thorough beat downs.

Problem with personnel: Blame the GM
Problem with performance of personnel: Blame Coaches
*Drops Mic & Walks off*
If a player is not playing well how can you tell the difference between poor performance or him just sucking.
-
yeah. and we actually haven't had any big injuries so far this preseason ( Knock on wood).
There is not enough wood in the world to knock on. Do not tempt the football gods.
-
Right now, the team is about $10-12m below the cap. Handling a signing bonus wouldn't be a problem.
I thought we had about $10 mil before Hilton signing so that would be about $8 after then we will use some more if we extend Castonzo and keep some for the actual season if the need arises. I think we would be cutting it kind of close if we tried to extend Luck this season.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we have the cap space to sign Luck now because a portion of any signing bonus would hit the cap this year.
-
I figured it out. There is a bomb in the pile on the right and TRich is diving in to defuse it.
-
another great write up Superman... I'll be able to watch it tomorrow,but on the outdife looking in and seeing the scores.. it looks like again we were OUT Coached and ill prepared.... hope the tape shows different
You do realize that the only preseason game coaches actually make a game plan for is the third one right? They don't do that for the other games.
-
i keep hearing you can't spread the signing bonus over 6 years, only 5. Damn I really hope it's not actually 13 per
The signing bonus will be spread out, just like in Russel Wilsons deal, but that doesn't change the value of the contract. I'm think we paid more than he's worth but was still better than letting him walk.
-
Okay, legit question here: If they were always going to pay TY, why did you draft Dorsett rather than a position of need, such as Malcolm Brown or Landon Collins?
BPA they thought Dorsett was a 1st round talent and Brown/Collins were not. Time will tell if they were right or wrong.
-
So is it 11 or 13 per, for real?
The extension is 13 per. The cap hit for those 5 years will average slightly less because the signing bonus will be prorated over 6 years not 5. You can't look at the cap purely on a per year basis. Extra cap rolls over and total cap hit = total money paid. So its wrong to say that it is actually a 11 per deal because its extending his rookie contract. Its a $65 million deal over the next 5 years of cap.
-
Probably overpaid by about 1 mil/yr but probably better than letting him walk.
-
I read he wanted something like $6M from the Jets. So what? We have the cap this year. Rent him and go for it. Worry about contracts next year.
We need that cap this year. When Castonzo and Hilton sign their new contracts part of their signing bonuses will hit the cap this year.
-
Seems like camp is starting really late.
Start date is determined by the day of first preseason game.
-
1. Luck
2. Castonzo
3. davis
4. Andre
5. Not sure, Ask me after pre season
I've said it before but I think Andre will be the biggest difference maker. We did not have a receiver of his skill set on our team last year who was healthy. If all he catches are < 10 yard passes for first downs and no TDs we can easily win the superbowl because that was the main thing missing in our offense down the stretch.

We play the pats week 6.
Colts place CB D'Joun Smith on IR/Designated for return; promote CB Eric Patterson (merge)

Yeah lets just go down to the free agent superstore. I'm sure we can find an unsigned quality cornerback who can learn our system in 3 days.
