They went against each other 2 times; "owns" is a bit strong. I'm very happy we won both though!

I can't watch, thanks for all the updates! Who is Tommy boy?

No DB's in that group???

Wow! Cowards? Maybe they just have a different opinion on how to handle things. You assume that your chosen action is the righteous way, so Ballard & Dodds must agree with it, but they don't act because they are "cowards." Maybe they truly believe that another way is better, and are sticking to their beliefs (IE not being cowardly) about it? It's fine to disagree with someone's beliefs, but to attack their character because they see a different way forward is a bit much. I am personally so-so on signing Simmons. He is older, not super fast, & will likely want more money & term. If we sign him (especially to a 1 or 2 year contract at reasonable $) then that's fine for this year & for a veteran presence, but I don't think he is the ultimate answer for us right now. All of this doesn't even account for if Simmons even wants to come here! I love my Indiana peeps, but for many people around the country, choosing between living in Indianapolis or New Orleans is an easy decision, and it's not Indy. Now consider that this is a young, rich African American man making the choice, and it's not even close.There are many non-cowardly reasons that Simmons might not end up here. Add me to the list of people who dislike when people use the term 'garbage' to describe below average. It seems to fit in with the whole 'you are either great or terrible' mindset which is just inaccurate, and a bad way to run a franchise. That said, IMHO that post was garbage.

True, but he does get paid like a tackle. I wonder which he would prefer, Pro Bowls or tackle money?

Yes he is back to practicing.

People are no longer limited to the location they were born. It's so easy to relocate around the country (& even the world) & still keep involved with family back home. People are getting to choose where they live now. So if you want to live in a place where a lot of other people want to live, it's going to be expensive! It's no different than any other supply & demand situation. People are flocking out West in droves, for several reasons. In some places they can hardly build the houses fast enough! Just like a trendy car, designer handbag, or even a tickle-me-Elmo, the more people that want it, the more expensive it is. People can still find cheap land/homes, even out West, they just have to be willing to live in a place that not many others (relatively) want to live.

Man I love me some Maniac, but it won't happen, and he's too slow after his surgeries.

LOL I saw your screen name & thought "We don't play the Jets until mid-November!" Are you a Jets fan, a Packers fan, or both? As for the Packers game, who knows??? Unlike the Packers, my Colts are a huge question mark. They could be great! They could also be terrible, or anything in between. Unfortunately, my guess is the Packers will win that one. It will be early in the season, and the Colts always start slow. Also the Colts are still getting their QB up to speed. I hope to be wrong though!

Interesting! I had guessed the opposite based on his size/measurements. Thanks for the info! As for the topic question, I say yes! That price isn't that high for a DE. I think he takes a step up this year & next.

Wow that's not at all my point. A poster seemed to state that CB had drafted K. Moore, and I simply said that he was an FA, not a draft pick. There was no hidden meaning in that, just stating a fact. I actually like CB.

I really like Roman Wilson, but due to his size I think he is probably a slot receiver in the NFL. Josh Downs is our primary slot receiver, and potentially a good one. Therefore I don't see Ballard drafting a slot receiver before the 5th round, and Wilson will be long gone by then. JMO, could be wrong. He is a baller though!

There are several potentially good ones left, just nobody with a resume anywhere near B. Bowers. I personally like Theo Johnson a lot, but several Ballard types will be available in the later rounds, such as: Cade Stover, Ben Sinnot, Jared Wiley, Tip Reiman (all of whom I like) & more. I would be surprised if we drafted a TE before round 4 or 5 though.

I guess I can kind of get that from the post, but if so, then why did he quote me? I mentioned that there are lots of good players left, and he replied "But are they better than pierce." Would that logic apply if the colts 2nd round pick was a safety, CB, OL, etc...? Maybe I misunderstood the post?

Only practice squad worthy? So if a WR isn't picked in the 1st round they are only good for the practice squad? Or maybe I am misreading your post?
