I expect a much improved secondary next season.....if for no other reason than that we won't be playing 3 undrafted free agents and Bethea, as we actually did on many occasions last season.
-
Brackett is to small for the 3/4, but was the hart & soul of our 4/3. A warrior & the classic over achiever! He played hard & had a knack for the big hit or play. his leadership will be missed. Respected by his teammates. The team not the coach's pick the captions. he wore the C well.
Eh.....i'm not going to miss him one iota.
Time to get guys on this D that have an NFL pedigree, size-strength-athletic ability, and were actually drafted because of it.
-
You have to when half* your team was cut before the new league year.
*slight exaggeration
Yep. When most of your roster sucks, alot of them get cut.
-
I think everyone is overreacting a bit on the injuries. He's played in 39 of the 48 possible games in his NFL career. That's 3 missed games a year. That's not that bad.
Exactly. Nowhere near as often as Gonzalez was injured.
-
that's ridiculous
I don't think so, Horse Shoe.
Brackett has below average size and athletic ability to play 3-4 ILB in the NFL. At best, he is a mediocre player overall.
-
oh no we need every pick to fill our many holes! hope it just a switch...
Well, backup QB was one of those many holes.
-
This also suggests that Dallas Clark, like Gary Brackett is not healthy and maybe those two cuts were pretty valid
Brackett is a valid cut even if he's 100% healthy.
-
I could never figure out if he was good or not?
He wasn't good while he played for us, but now that he's retiring, it's a huge loss for our OL.
-
Agreed.....if he's there at 34 we have to take him.
Assuming he'll be gone, gotta go with whichever we can get best value at between cb and wr.
-
You can't lose someone you didn't have.
He was a free agent.
-
Also, I find it very amusing how much people railed on Pollak while he was here, but now that he's signed with Carolina, suddenly he's this key loss.
-
whos that leave us at Center
Where have you been the last week?
We've signed 2 centers: 1 whom was a 2nd round pick and has 74 career NFL starts under his belt, and Mike McGlynn, a former 4th round pick
-
Diem kep Manning up right, it was Reitz and Castonzo that need work. although I think Diem should go back to Tackle
Diem is not on the team anymore
-
yes, although I think we still need to find a guard and then I think we will be set, unless we decide to move Ijalana, or Pollack over to guard
Pollak is not on the team anymore
-
Nice to see we're actually assembling an OL that consists of guys that have NFL size, talent and athleticism.
If our starting OL is Castonzo - Reitz - Satele - Ijalana - Justice.....that would be 2 #1 picks and 2 #2 picks.
-
Do we still have Ernie Sims?
He is an unrestricted free agent, I believe.
-
Whether or not we land Lawson.....it's so nice to finally be utilizing free agency.

Painted in such a poor light, it makes me wonder why so many teams fell on their face and lost ground terribly (one of which may have lost a decent franchise guy/Smith) just for the off chance to land this "35 year old qb coming off 4 neck surgeries, who hasn't played football in a year and a half & who we aren't even sure if he has the requisited arm strength to throw the ball effectively"????
Trying so hard to run Peyton down so hard is nothing more than a lame attempt to rationalize something entirely irrational.
Did I say something nonfactual about Manning? He's not 35? He didn't have 4 neck surgeries? He didn't last play in January of 2011? His current health isn't a question mark? These are all facts, pal......there's nothing that needs to be "rationalized". If you want to live in a fantasyworld, go right ahead.....doesn't change the reality.
Manning is supposed to be the best player on the planet.....and yet, only a handful of teams are vying for his services?
You think if Aaron Rodgers were cut today, only 3 teams would go after him? lol
Take off your Manning blinders, join us in 2012, and use your brain.
-
Yeah, Instead of doing what we did, I would have rather given a boatload of money to a 35 year old qb coming off 4 neck surgeries, who hasn't played football in a year and a half & who we aren't even sure if he has the requisited arm strength to throw the ball effectively....and then followed that up with our usual offseason of signing nobody during free agency, then ^messing^ up the draft, and then fillng in the holes on our team with undersized, marginally talented undrafted free agents.
-
chrisfarley, poster on the colts.com internet message board, said that Mathis is only an ok football player, so i'm good with missing out on him.
-
Because it seems that alot of people here are myopic Manning-or-bust fans and have no real sense of "players come and go support the TEAM", "rebuilding" or "new GM", or "new coaches all around", or "salary cap issues", or that the team itself is the "NFL franchise owner's property".
I'm trying to give 'em a bit of a break since most of them probably weren't around for the pre-Manning 16 years. But patience is wearing very thin.
Totally agree. I like the cut of your jib.
-
Why would anyone complain about trying to get some talent that is cheap and actually was drafted and started at the NFL level?
Because they're still butthurt over losing marginally talented, oft-injured undrafted free agents who wouldn't start on any other NFL team, like Gary Brackett or Melvin Bullitt.

Eh.....sometimes that happened.
But more times those cheap backups ended up being cheap, undertalented starters (cutting Kelvin Hayden and starting Jacob Lacey; cutting Bob Sanders then starting Joe Lefeged being two more recent examples).....and that's why we were the worst team in the NFL last year.
