    Which QB will sign this week?

    Well, unfortunately I’m not in charge of any decisions made within the organization.  If I was, I’d definitely sign you to a 1 year, 1 million contract with 700k in guaranteed.  

     

    Fromm or Trevor Lawrence in 2021 work?  Anyone out there you like?

     

    Lawrence is the only guy I would put any faith in. Honestly, I don't think Brissett has been given a fair opportunity. The incompetence at coaching that Brissett had to deal with in 17' was ridiculous. With Reich, and being the guy, I think he's going to be fine. They're are giving him a well built OL, plenty of weapons, and a very opportunistic defense. Let's let the kid go to work..

    Tyquan Lewis the Defensive End

    Personally, I don’t think Lewis is going to be anything more than average at best at DT. I’m not even sure he’ll be special at DE.

     

    I don't look for him to do much at DT. He played really limited snaps on the interior, really only when they game was far out of hand. Much like here in Indy, there were much better guys on that interior at Ohio State. Tyquan didn't get many "meaningful" snaps inside. Even now he's going to get limited snaps inside because Autry, Hunt, and Ward as just better interior players. I still think he would be a good, cheap replacement, for Sheard, if they got him back down in the 260's. He's good against the run and may get a handful of sacks a year against average RT's. I still scratch my head on why they insist on doing what they are doing with him now.

    The story at Ohio State was that he was recruited to play DE but basically started lining up on the interior because Nick Bosa, Sam Hubbard, and Chase Young we’re better. I stand to be proven young but the trend recently in the NFL is that those tweener/hybrid players never amount to too much ( see Shaq Thompson, Su’a Cravens, Hassan Reddick, etc...)

     

    Yea that's not the story. Him and J Bosa were the starting DE's until they left. Hubbard eventually took over for Bosa when he left and Chase was still sitting behind Tyquan, Nick, and Sam. Chase will be a stud though and I have no doubts he'll be a top-10 pick next year barring injury. 6-5 265 with stupid athleticism, and is equally as good against the run as he is rushing the passer.

     

    Maybe they were thinking Tyquan could turn into a Michael Bennett-type, who can bounce inside and outside on the fly, but I just don't see him being that kind of guy. He wasn't overly athletic at 260'ish, so he's definitely going be hindered with another 10-15-20lbs.

    Zeke to the Colts rumors starting...

    Zeke is a good RB but is a product of his offensive line, much like 

    Emmit Smith a couple decades ago for the Cowboys.

     

    Running backs can't run through 600 lbs of linemen coming through

    the lines to meet them, physically impossible. They need open holes.

     

    To the bolded, and as a fan, no... Ohio States OL is far from why Zeke was productive. Urban's RPO scheme masked  A LOT of deficiencies with that OL. Zeke is as good as advertised. There's a reason he was compared to Edgerrin James.

    While I hope the addition translates to more sacks, I'm hoping the added pressure also translates into more INTs. Going to need both sacks and INTs to peak this year given our opponents. I really just wish we had one more legit piece (NT or DE opposite Houston). I'm already looking forward to the 2020 draft :-)

     

    I really hope Grover keeps building on the excellent camp he's had so far.

    Who cares?  They don't owe you or any other fan anything.  You chose to be a fan...you can choose not to.  That's up to you.  What they do with the injury information of players is not up to you.  As long as they follow the league rules about injuries then I don't care what we as fans know.  They have to do what they think is best for the Team/Organization and as much as some fans want to believe that they are, fans are NOT a part of the team or organization.  

     

    Bottom line...no matter how much you or anyone else thinks that you are, you are NOT entitled to any more information than the front office is willing to give.  

     

    This is just not said enough on here.. I shake my head, and laugh, when people have "they owe us", or some variation of entitlement, in any part of their sentence.

    Starting Outside CB

    Honestly, this group is by far one of the deepest on the team and I look for the DB's to be rotated A LOT, like the DLine has and will be, just keep to keep them fresh throughout the game and year. Being a "starter" may not mean much, when after the game is over, they all finished with similar snap counts. I'm totally good with that approach.

    TC Day 4

    I read somewhere that OSU played to Haskins' strengths. So a lot of the routes were ones that Haskins was good at throwing, hence the limited route tree. I don't watch CFB so I could be completely wrong lol.

     

    Yea it had nothing to do with Haskins. Haskins can make every throw, and the other wide receivers on the team (Hill, Mclaurin, Victor, Dixon, Mack) were all used in different ways like Campbell. Campbell, again, was used as a safety outlet for Haskins, but it also allowed Campbell to get a lot of open space looks which was much more favorable to him, the offense, and especially Haskins with how bad the OL was. Campbell is going to hurt a lot of guys' feelings if he gets the ball in the open field.

    Love hearing about these rookies. I think Ya-Sin has the potential to start day 1 against the Chargers. I'm irrationally hyped about Campbell. Glad to see his weakness of not being able to run routes was more on Haskins and how OSU utilized him.

     

    How would that have been on Haskins? OSU's O-line was one of the worst I have seen in years, and Campbell was used a lot as a safety valve for Haskins.

    thanks for insight. 

    you're hitting on a point discussed right after the draft (OSU's O not really being a great O, and very limited, to develop WRs in). several of the talking heads said basically that OSU WRs are basically a wild card due to the scheme and pigeon holing.

     

    i think Parris will be just fine though. the others, IDK.

     

    I'll say I think it gets better for them now that Day is running the team and they will now employ more of an NFL playbook as opposed to Urban's run heavy/pass option offense. OSU has never had a problem getting 4/5 star WR's, and Day has already had a few commitments for next year and beyond, but I look for his incoming QB's to be much better than what Urban and Tressel brought in. 

     

    And yes Parris' best football is still ahead of him and I'm glad it's with the Colts.

    Thanks for the clarification. I pinged my buddy also after replying earlier. He said Parris was top 10 in KR average nationally in 2016, and wish he would have stayed at KR lol. Also said in 2017 that Parris had a lot of "growing pains" around maturity. Not sure what exactly that meant, but I took it he might have been in the doghouse for more than just dropped passes :-). Regardless, IIRC, he still led all WRs in yards both 17 and 18, right?

    He did, but Victor, Hill, Dixon, Mclaurin were all in that 400-500 yard range with him. JT and that RPO scheme that Urban liked really hindered the WR's. Haskins should have been the starter in 17' but Urban was loyal to JT, and again, he fit Urban's style of offense that he wanted to run.

     

    I think it was more that his play got to him mentally and he dug himself a hole he really couldn't get out of and it showed. The same thing happened to Austin Mack last year and he never seemed to recover either. He had a few bad drops in the TCU game and they yanked him and he never seemed to fully recover last year like Paris the year before.

    I thought he was a returner his soph year due to injury of another, and during his junior season they wanted him to focus on WR and let Weber handle KRs?

    The way my buddy tells it (he's a crazy OSU fan), is that Parris was pushed into action his soph season (2016) for returns because of an injury or something, and did very well. He was becoming WR1 his junior year (led all WRs) and they didn't want him to continue to both return and be WR1. He led all WRs his senior year too, 

     

    Yes I completely mis-stated about him being a punt returner. Campbell had a dreadful game against Penn State in 2017 (fumble and multiple drops) and I thought he had a fumble in the return game as well, but he didn't. He was benched not even half way through the game and Urban had him in the dog house, it seemed like, the rest of the season. JT Barrett graduating and Kevin Wilson getting demoted for Ryan Day helped OSU tremendously last year. Haskins and Day's offensive scheme really helped Paris become the WR he is now.

    Not really concerned about Campbell's muffs. He didn't return at OSU, so still learning. Contrary to what a lot folks think, it takes practice and skill to be a returner. He's got plenty of time to learn, and he's not going anywhere. Hines IIRC had issues early too last year, but they seem to be giving him a shot again this year. That's why guys like Rogers and Pascal bring value outside of the WR corp.

     

    I wonder if Sheard's injury will impact any plans for Banogu at SAM. I'm a big fan of him focusing 100% on DE anyway. 

     

    I hate the slow roll with Luck. Not because I think he should be out there just to be out there, but more because I hate that the young WRs are not getting the best targets. Looking forward to him getting back into the swing of things.

     

    He was a returner his Junior year and he muffed a couple punts bad enough for them to pull him off completely.

    That was ugly last year.   And the year before, @Valpo2004 !

     

    It was probably a good thing, especially last year with how the defense played. The offense could have played with anyone, but they would have been abused had they made it to the playoffs. I really like the coaching changes/additions that Day has made so far and I think it will benefit the defense greatly this year. The OL is huge ? for me because they had a lot of experience on that line last year and they still weren't good.

    Trading Turner would destroy the defense. We also can't tell if Turner's offense is bad because it's McMillan. Sabonis is cheaper for now. In a year, he'll want about the same amount of money as Turner. I'd much rather trade Sabonis. I'd only trade Turner for a chance at Ja, and there's no way that's happening after the #2 pick. 

     

    No it wouldn't. He still can't guard the better big's in the NBA anyways. Sabonis doesn't have a problem scoring in McMillan's scheme, and I think he could be a legit 20/10 guy as a starter. He also plays like a big man unlike Turners soft a33. As akcolt mentioned he's still not a consistent rebounder for a big man either. What you see now is what Turner will be for the rest of his career. 

     

    58 minutes ago, IndyScribe said:

    Blocks aren't the end all be all, I agree, but his defense is arguably more important than rebounds. Turner doesn't get a lot because of Oladipo and other players. With Dipo out, we'll see if he can get more rebounds. 

     

    ??? Again, Sabonis averaged almost 10 boards a game, ~2 more than Turner in less minutes off the bench. Oladipo was out for 46 games last season, and whatever theory/excuse this is, it didn't help Turner, and it won't in the future. 


    Sabonis doesn't seem to be handicapped by all of these McMillan excuses that Turner seems to be.. hmmmmmm

    With AD, LeBron and keeping Kuzma it is a good start. I have to see what they put around that. Kuzma is a good player.

     

    Considering they want to add another max contract, they aren't going to have much to work with after those 3, or 4. Lebron's window is shrinking rapidly, and it's a fact, guys like him post 35 years of age, tend to fall of a cliff production wise. I'd be skeptical of AD lasting a full season too. 

     

    I hope Kawhi stays in Toronto. That Toronto team wouldn't have much of a problem beating the Lakers considering they have no perimeter shooting like GS had. I'd wager Toronto would probably sweep them or finish them in 5.
