    Hines Was A Definite Miss.....

    Preseason games are definitely not practice against other teams, especially when you are fighting for playing time or even a roster spot. Hines was a fumbler in college, he has fumbled in the preseason. That mirrors his real game habits. It's not some random thing he's doing for fun, it's something he has trouble with. He fumbled 7 times his senior year in college. If he fumbles 8 times this year in the pros, that's once every other game, and he could literally cost us a game or two by himself. Definitely concerned, and he better fix it quick. He's not a definite loss, but he may not make the final 53 at this rate.

     

    Do preseason games count?  Nope.  You are just arguing for the sake of arguing.  My point was that nothing is definite after 4 preseason games.  Yes, he has issues but it's not definite that the Colts brass has already given up on him.

    More along the lines of it's way too premature to write someone off after the preseason of their rookie year, especially using the word definite.  Nothing is definite after 4 preseason games.

     

    That was just a slight edit on Allen Iverson's thoughts on practice.  Preseason games are just practice against other teams.

     

    Hines has things he needs to work on.  The only thing I am disagreeing with is writing him off as a definite loss.

    definite or probable?

     

    definite: clearly stated or decided; not vague or doubtful

    probable: likely to be the case or to happen

     

    I mean, listen, we're talking about preseason, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about preseason. Not a game.

    Getting DL evals from Big Q

    He plays 12 to 13 games a year and probably isn't going against every DL on the opposing team so more than likely he wouldn't have knowledge on the vast majority of prospects.

     

    The task should be left to the scouts, whose only job is to find/rate/rank players.

    Anyone worried about inexperience?

    Everyone starts without experience if people only got hired if they had experience many people would be out of jobs 

     

    I think it was more that none of the 3 have experience at the position for which they were hired (rather than just 1 or 2 of the 3).

     

    On the flip side, if you hire someone with experience at the position in this business, then it usually means they were fired because otherwise they would still be with the other team.

     

    So is it better to get a known commodity that didn't make it with his previous team or an unknown commodity that will need to learn on the fly.   Both have risks.

    Fantastic so whatever third pick bottom of the barrel loser coach we get is saddled with coordinators he has no say in.  Freaking fantastic! Just what I would expect from the dumpster fire that is the Indianapolis Colts.

     

    we don't have an offensive coordinator yet...do we?

     

    It will be interesting to see if we still go with an offensive guy for head coach.
