  1. I think it's definitely a test for CB.  But I have 2 somewhat conflicting thoughts on Desir:

    1. He played well last year, but this defense needs top-notch pass-rushers more than great corners. 

    2.  CB talks a lot about culture & how you can't buy a locker room. Well, part of the way you maintain a culture is by rewarding good performance and making sure players know they're appreciated. 

     

    I'm sure CB has a number he's willing to pay, and someone else will either beat that or not.  Personally,  I hope he stays.

    Honestly, no. Hilton, Inman, and Cain will all be in front of him. We’re going to add a significant receiver in the draft/FA. He hasn’t proven to be better than Rogers, and Rogers gets an edge because he handles returns. Only way there’s any room at the Inn for him is if he has a world class camp and turns into a undeniable starter. 

     

    And that just isn’t going to happen. 

    I agree, Hilton, Inman, Cain, and I'd even say Rogers and Pascal would be ahead of him.  And even though Ryan Grant was a miss, I could still see them taking a swing at another FA slot WR (Beasley?).

    Disappointed about taking a WR with our 26th pick really? We don’t know how this draft will fall into place but a lot of Dline talent will be drafted before our pick. I don’t want another Lewis or Turay. I’d rather try and trade up and take one of the elites

     

    This is what I've been thinking.  I know trading back worked really well last year, but this year it might be worth trading a couple picks to move up, maybe for a guy like Montez Sweat.  

     

    As for the offense, I was thinking that it'll be nice for Inman to get a full training camp with a healthy Luck, & then realized heck, it'll be nice for the whole offense to get a full camp with a healthy Luck.

  4. I just think we have a Colts D that's been better than expected, but relatively untested lately, against a prolific quarterback who hasn't played in a playoff game. 

     

    We have a #1 seed at home, playing for one of the loudest crowds in the NFL, but that's lost its last 6 home playoff games.  I don't think anybody has a freaking clue how the game is going to go.

    I like his mentality to keep pushing.  Never understood backing off when having a lead.  Too many comebacks by other teams to prove that it's the wrong approach.

     

    NEVER play not to lose...PLAY to WIN

    I agree.  It's amazing how some coaches seem to forget that the only way to keep the ball is to move the ball.

    The colts were a high powered offense with all pro skill position players, however a defense that was a huge liability. What the pats did was take a physical approach to the colts offense by forcing them to make contested catches and play power offense which was not how the colts operated.

    The Colts were a high-precision offense that could not be stopped within the rules of the game.  What the Pats did was decide to blatantly break the rules and just hope they got away with it.  And it worked.

    If you get harbaugh, you will be the nfc team that i pull for. But i think he stays at Michigan. 

    I agree that he probably stays put, especially now that Meyer's gone.  But if the Packers offered, I think he'd be crazy to turn it down.

  8. You know, it would be easy to say it's too early in the Ballard/Reich era (it probably is), or that they're just not ready (they're probably not). 

     

    But here's the thing- some years a great team wins the SB, some years a great team gets upset in the SB, and some years there are no great teams, and somebody has to win it.  I think this is one of those years.  So why not dream big?

  9. Sports have rules.  That Colts passing offense might have been the most precise that the NFL has ever seen, and it couldn't be stopped...within the rules.  The hoodie knew this, so he instructed his DBs to hold if necessary, & just hope they got away with it.  And it worked. 

     

    In any sport, when a team wins a championship by not only ignoring the rules, but by intentionally breaking them, the league kinda needs to do something.
