  1. Tough job, have to know cap limitations, contracts negotiations, NFL rules, budgets with an eye towards the future. All while knowing that your “product” may or may not turn out to be what you expected, or last as long as you hoped. Talk about pressure. But once a team has a franchise QB, that job has to be a bit easier. Especially when he’s on his rookie contract.
  2. That's correct. They're supposed to do it this month and be done by July Hellas Matrix Turf. "The new turf being installed at Lucas Oil Stadium has been put in at So-Fi Stadium, AT&T Stadium and NRG Stadium — the homes of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texas, respectively. The Indiana Business Journal also reported that Lucas Oil Stadium’s current turf is slit-film synthetic and the new Matrix turf will be a monofilament-type surface."
  3. Just bring back Gilly or give Nelson a call. Draft a couple more CBs, let them learn the system. I know we need a veteran, as well as a vet S. I wonder if Blackmon has come down to earth on his asking price. Please draft a receiver (Bowers or Thomas Jr.) before trying to fix the D.
  4. Are you giving up on JuJu already? I definitely want a veteran CB, but I'm hoping for a receiver for our first pick. If not Bowers, then Thomas Jr. I think we should surround AR with as many weapons as possible. Our TE group is okay, as long as Woods ever can play again, and if Ogletree gets reinstated. I get that none of them compare to Bowers, but as you said, he may be gone.
  5. I think it’s the weakest group. Kenny is the only one we’re sure of. Juju looked decent, but he played about half a season. Jones did okay, but we can’t continue to say “for a late draft pick”. Draft position no longer matters, play does. Flowers has started something like 5 games in two years. He also showed promise. But we don’t know if teams will expose him like they did Jones once they see his tendencies. So, yes, I think a veteran CB is a huge need…and safety isn’t that far behind.
  6. I don’t know much about Worthy, other than his speed being his greatest asset and his size his detriment. But, as you said, if he can play like TY…. But we have Downs in the slot so is that a needed player? One thing Pierce doesn’t get a lot of credit for is is blocking. Not sure if Worthy could come near that. I’m with you on my choices at 15, Bowers or BTJ. I loved hearing about their passion for the game. They talked about Thomas Jr sprinting 75 yards down the fired to throw a block for another receiver. And how Bowers came back from an injury much sooner than they wanted him to because he wanted to play. Get the D backfield in free agency. We already have young guys there. Get the receiver at 15.
  7. Every team is going to have them, it's going to happen. What are our weakest positions when it comes to depth? Here are my priorities in order: CB - The third starter, Jones, is weak already, we have a small sample size for Flowers, and we're counting on JuJu to continue to improve. Don't have a backup slot. We really need help here. WR - I like Pierce, and hopefully his talents will be used more with AR. If Dulin is back, he can be a decent X or Y. MPJ and Downs are legit. Very weak group. S - They have to sign Blackmon or a vet here. Very inexperienced group. Interior OL - I liked Pinter at C but he's not on the team, French may be decent. RB - If JT goes down, I think we can survive with a committee. IMHO, we need to get a veteran CB and S. Hopefully we get a WR in the draft.
  8. Well, that may be generous. Yes, they all started but the book is still out on Brents and Flowers. They could be good but I'd still like to have someone with experience besides Kenny, lined up with one of them. And their injury histories is concerning. You saw how teams started figuring out Jones at the end of the season. To be fair, he's a late round pick and did a good job. I just don't know if we saw his best or he'll continue to grow. Like you said earlier, you can only get experience by playing.
  9. Agree somewhat about Pierce, I guess he ran more route yards that anyone in the league, so he's probably in good shape. But I think Thomas Jr. is basically him but an upgrade. I love the kids attitude as much as his talent. If Bowers is there at 15 you have to take him, the kid is a baller. The TE room is good, and big if Ogletree and Woods can play. But I'd still take Bowers. I think we need a veteran, besides Kenny, at CB. Brents looks good, Jones was getting exposed at the end of the season, and even if they're counting on Flowers, it's a thin group. Sneed would fit in nicely. If we don't re-sign Blackmon, they need an upgrade. Nico Collins streaking down the field was enough to see that's true. So my draft board wish list would have Bowers, Thomas Jr., and if they're gone an Edge like Verse or Chop. But I'm kind of expecting to hear "The Indianapolis Colts have traded the 15th pick..."
  10. No. Ray Davies. The Kinks. I know, it’s a stretch.
  11. Kinky! (You’re probably too young to get the joke)
  12. Hull is a different kind of RB than Moss. Sermon was more in the Moss style. He was decent last season, I’d go with him again. But 2nd and 3rd tier RBs are a dime a dozen in the draft. Moss was a 1a, I doubt we’re drafting a guy that good.
