  1. There are good centers left. French and Pinter are not impressive. I bet there are good slots still available. RB competition. I give up on secondary. I'm ready for Diggs and Gilmore and let's kick tail This season.
  2. He looks quick and breaks ankles near the goal line.
  3. So would oodles and boodles of strudel, brats, fried taters and warm 🍺.
  4. Hopefully Freeland is hanging with Raimann pounding Ramen and an abundance of iron.
  5. Bebe was just a few spots ahead also. We sacrificed two higher upsides to get our new oline coach his guy. Oh well! As long as we end up with an upgrade to good ol Will we take the win.
  6. In run blocking he would be similar to Fries in that with a little angle he can do a good job getting push. Fries is over matched trying to drive block because he isn't a bender. This guy isn't a bender but carries maybe 15 more lbs. Gonc has been very successful as a pass blocker. If he can get some push in short yardage of which we desperately could use improvement at RG, and he proves an upgrade in pass pro over Fries, then yippee. To get that improvement this year in the 3rd round would be a real plus. According to him his big toe injury was serious. Said he was 85-90% at his pro day and had only started training 3 weeks before. The 19 reps seemed to be a personal best. Yikes! He had 21 college starts in 39 games. He was crossed trained and played LT, RT, LG, RG. This was from our new oline coach. A big plus, and he apparently is very quick off the snap. He is big but not so light on his "toe", so I believe he would get humbled playing tackle. I doubt worse than Freeland was last season so... I'm impressed with his demeanor, and he is consider tough. I give this pick a B. Pray for the toe!!
  7. We already have a 6'6" RG that can't bend. At least 19 rep Gonc has tons of weight to try to shove with. Unfortunately, the battle with players of equal strength at the NFL level goes to he that goes low. Fries gets knocked back consistently by anyone they put in front of him much of the time, and especially when we need him the most, in short yardage. If this guy was drafted to play tackle to me means Freeland isn't expected to put on the bulk to be our future starting RT. lol
  8. So the kid has flaws and has been called out publicly. It's actually doing our Colts a big favor. Mitchell has to prov'em wrong. Ballard gets to support him publicly but also look him in the eye. It's comical reading that Steichen and Reggie wanted him so much and Ballard passed on this #1 4.3s gold for a couple lousy 5's.
  9. Hopefully we can put him in for Fries in short yardage. He isn't athletic enough to play T and would be a limited G. We needed to move back up ~ _into the 2nd a good ways.
  10. Mitchell says it's a chemical imbalance that is difficult to control, diabetes.
  11. Getting up to pick 40 would give us several good options for future starter prospects. Or a bump back into the 2nd for our guy.
  12. Turner weighs about 15 lbs less. Think Ngauake. Do yourself a favor and checkout the weight of the best DE's. There is a power element when you are fighting with a 315-325 LB tackle. Latu is an interesting specimen. He is not at all ripped with his upper body. With his shirt off at the combine I considered him comparatively whimpy. And watching game tape his attack I found that I couldn't quite tell why he was so successful. I have since watched him training and had media that I could slow down. Perhaps because he isn't muscle bound he is very flexible. He does get low with a twist and knee bend and remains smooth. And he does it quickly. This is Elite. So i'm watching his attack with his arms and I will describe it like a fierce swim, windmill thing, both arms swinging forward, and it sure looks like the tackles can't time a defense to the motion. Yet he seems to, letting him knock their hands down with precision,, then he instantly drops his shoulder and bends and explodes around them. He certainly isn't muscled up like the freak Joey Bosa, but against college players it sure looks very similar. His upper body isn't thick but watching him run through the heavy bags he hits them really hard with a compact motion. He is physical and plays fast. Let's hope he once and for all allows Ballard to take the dunce hat off regarding DE.
  13. Paye played a career high 700 snap. He was in a rotation with Ebukam, Dayo, and Lewis. You think he should have played 200 more snaps like Joey Bosa? Bosa had 2 more sacks than Kwity.
  14. Year 4 is year one of NFL Prime. Kwity was very good last season. Kwity was credited with 0 missed tackles. He also plays his flat like a beast. He is a riser. We need a good blitzing LB. Blitzing when you have corners that can only cover the zone in front of them from ten yards off for 2 seconds... Ballard is in the stone age. Our division rivals are glad he is here.
  15. Middle of the pack because we were near the bottom with blitzes. An easy one.
  16. The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up. Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game? It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven. I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites. Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick. I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Byron Murphy II. And come out of the draft with RG Bebe.
  17. The depth is good 😊. This is what the laugh emoji was good for. Shoot 🔥, our starters are not even good 😊. And this is why I blocked the guy.
  18. Worthy would of course run some crossers, but he would do mostly what Pierce did. Pierce led the league in go patterns. Doing it we saw that his low 4.4 speed did not allow him to blow by people. Worthy would have Tyreke + speed to put the fear in a D and require safety help. That would boad well for all other aspects of our offensive attack. We could do worse. Smith from Philly is sleight. 6' 170 Little Downs operates on quick hitters so often between the numbers. That is the hitting zone. He survived nicely.
  19. I think they would worry more about Wiggins than Worthy. There will be at least a half dozen great prospects to pick from. So Ballard has advised us he is looking for a good trade back opportunity in the 19-21 range.
  20. DeJean will get eaten alive by twitchy WR's in short yardage and at the goal line. I would look elsewhere even at 46. He is a RB. He will have his success in the NFL as he is a FB player The only CB that I am interested in is a 4.3's 190 lb. Don't care if he is a 4th rd development project. He has until playoffs 2025 to get his schiff together because then it's on.
  21. Arnold would be a great "2" corner. I watched a lengthy interview with Arnold and he couldn't be more impressive. Watching his tape he bends, twists, runs with tremendous agility. But he has to grab and live off being physical because he can't run with the big boys. A perfect Chris Ballard guy. Sorry but we desperately need a guy that won't get out ran.
