  1. Eh, flip a coin between Ballard and Tipton.  Either way whoever stays is getting cut when Herron gets back, barring another injury.  Ultimately, there's nothing Ballard and Tipton can really do that someone else on the roster can't do better.  And frankly Varga is much more useful as the 4th back because of his broader skill set than either of those two guys, who are rendered a bit redundant by Gore, Herron, and Robinson.

     

    Unless Herron doesn't get put on short term IR, then both of those guys may be gone right away.

  2. At first glance this looks like a steal, but maybe the Raiders know something we don't?  

     

    The Browns pulled a fast one on us. But this is only a 6th round pick.

     

    I doubt it.  What I think it is, is that Moore can be the kind of guy who could be disruptive if he's unhappy, and since Del Rio apparently had already made the decision that he wouldn't be a starter, they probably all just agreed to move him quickly to make everyone happy.

  3. On the Herrera video it shows our #2 pick Smith getting handled by blocks and burnt on deep route by better competition than he normally sees (crap, wish I had not watched it).

     

    We already knew deep coverage was his weakness though.  If he plays mostly nickel for us, though, it should be mitigated.

  4. Dorsett's legs and feet are just unreal in terms of the speed and precision of his stride.  Dude looks like a machine from the waist down.  I mean, compare him running to the DBs chasing him - they look like humans trying to go fast, he looks like some kind of highly advanced robot.

  5. I'm really pleased with this draft top to bottom; say what you want about ordering your draft based on need, but I think we got a receiver with the potential to be really very good and some defensive players I think can contribute.  I really think we did a great job maximizing talent here.  You never really know, but nonetheless, I think we're going to look back on this draft very positively a few years down the line.

  6. I love that video. Gruden is so hilarious, very entertaining with actual football information.

     

    Regardless of whether I agree with him on a particular topic, I like Gruden because he's always very thorough explaining why he likes a guy or a play or a strategy or whatever.  A lot of draft guys will just repeat a bunch of checked boxes, like "this guy has a lot of athleticism" or "this guy has a frame that's too small" or something.  Gruden will actually go and talk about particular things a player will be asked to do in the NFL and discuss how he thinks that guy's attributes and skills will affect how he performs his role, and he'll pepper in a few stories while he's at it.

     

    So, like I said, maybe I don't always agree with him, but I can always appreciate and understand his reasoning.

  7. "Good" isn't the word, since obviously a first down would be better there, but they can be characterized as only slightly worse than an incomplete pass in that situation.  So I don't mind the pass because if it's successful it's a great play, but if it fails, it's not much worse than an incompletion & punt.

  8. I grew up in NJ and have gotten to see the Colts play the G-men once in the old Giants stadium and the Jets this pre-season at MetLife -- I think they've got some good fans out there -- I'm kinda jealous of you for being able to go to tonight's game live and am glad to hear the Colts' faithful stuck around.  Must be hard to root for either of the teams that share that stadium this year.

     

    I was at the Jets game in 2012.  It was kinda brutal.

  9. I just got back from the game.  It was pretty fun to watch.  Stands were half-empty by the end of the third quarter.  By the end of the fourth quarter there were probably 4 Colts fans around where I was sitting for every Giants fan.

     

    Took this at the end of the 3rd quarter, or thereabouts:

    Here's the best shot to show the view where I was sitting (I got lucky, all but one touchdown, and all the Colts touchdowns, were at this end of the field):
