Dark Superman

Right? He just handed Matt Pryor the starting LT spot without being in legit competition. He based his decision on watching Pryor play in a few games the previous season where he played multiple spots. Even the casual fan knew better than to have Matt Pryor penciled in as a starter, especially at LT. He's a certified backup on a good day.

Yeah, I can't disagree with this post. 2025 is the final straw for Chris Ballard though if this season doesn't turn out in a positive way.

The depth in the secondary behind Kenny and Blackmon is scary and bad.

Typical Chris Ballard fashion, wait and neglect an obvious weakness in the roster until they get exposed during regular season games before making a move. He's stubborn and thick-headed, you think he would've learned the first seven years he was Colts GM.

I agree that if the Colts don't win the AFC South or make the playoffs Chris Ballard needs to be fired.

This kid can't catch a break.

Tackles have a difficult time staying healthy in Indianapolis and all I can tell you about the Colts is they're loyal to their guys even if they ended up releasing Dalton Tucker before the season and don't sign him to the PS right away it's not the end of the world for him in this city. If he showed them enough to take a liking to him they will not hesitate to pick up the phone and offer him a spot once the injuries begin to hit the OL. If he's willing and capable of playing multiple spots on the line the Colts staff will not hesitate to bring him back. They love high-character players who can play multiple positions and work hard. Chris Ballard loves those blue-collared kids coming out of college.

Cox has been on the Colts since 2017 and still hasn't done anything at the NFL level to mark him as being TE1. He's having a solid camp but we've watched this guy play for six years and even with all the experience he still doesn't have as high of a ceiling as the other and much younger guys do. I still believe the Colts release MAC in 2023 if Jelani Woods doesn't get injured and miss the entire season. Give the younger guys the playing time and reps to allow them to build a connection with AR5. MAC is a sack of dead-weight and he's done nothing to impress me since coming to Indianapolis.

* He signed Matt Ryan after Carson Wentz left. *He had to fire Frank Reich and his coaching staff who he hired when he became the Colts GM in 2017. * Decided to not address certain and very obvious needs that you mentioned in the original post. Chris Ballard has neglected an obvious position of need not because of not having enough cap space or the ability to fill a need by signing a player but due to him being prudent and unnecessarily stubborn in his way of thinking when it comes to roster decisions. He'll admit he's wrong and tell you to blame no one but him when things go south but he's been doing the same song and dance for nearly 8 years now. He's never going to change the way he acts in terms of building a complete roster no matter what the circumstances are at the time. He rather watch a guy he invested in be a liability on the field for three years before pulling the plug and addressing the issue by bringing in a more suitable player. I have no idea what the heck kind of dirt or secrets he has on Jim Irsay but for some odd reason he never seems to be on the hot seat which is a bad thing for Colts fans.

, at best. But I guess Woods and Ogletree have to show that they can adequately replace him. All I needed to see to agree with your post.

I'm cutting the overpaid 31-year-old TE Mo Allie-Cox and saving $6 million in cap space.

In terms of needing to bulk up and put on some muscle.

I was referring to him adding muscle.

I was referring more to him adding muscle.

My biggest concern about Latu besides the past neck injury was his size coming into the NFL. I know his technique is Elite but I thought NFL Tackles would be bullying him around because of him being undersized. This guy is ridiculously strong and is only going to get bigger, stronger, and better. That. Is. Scary.
