will he be back next season? this is his final year under contract. does he walk or will the colts resign him? if he does resign, it better be something simple like 4 years for 12 million. better not be throwing money away like we did with hayden.

You know what happened to all the 'injury prone' players from last years team. What do you think?

You know it's kinda amazing how football works. Before the season started Powers was a top most of our you can't let this player leave lists and now I think most of us would entertain the idea of him being released at season's end if his contract was not expiring.

you can be the most talented player in the world but if your not on the field on sunday your worthless

I can honestly say he wasn't at the top of my list, he was the best Corner on our team Pre Vontae and Darius but that was never saying much, he is despinsible and honestly easily replaceable, Nice guy I dont want anyone to think I dont like him but for every Revis there are way more Jerraud Powers, that may sound harsh but unfortunately for him its the truth, I hope he has a full recovery and by chance we keep him I hope he can produce going forward, if not I wish him the best wherever he lands ( I was thinking Chicago actually because to me he is a prototypical Cover 2 Corner, decent Tackler just not a risk taker when it comes to jumping a route or have the reaction speed that a starter has

its only 3 mil a year not like i gave him 7.25 like hayden

But do you wanna give him that much for 1 or 2 interceptions if were lucky? while he continues to get abused like he has this year?, I'd bring him back for vet minimum (yes Im serious) on a short deal till I see he can produce if I brought him back, But I wouldnt bring him back, If we wanted another Powers we can sign some random FA for cheap, Its been long time overdue for a major upgrade

Bears game I think by Jeffery, Playing Corner is all about making plays especially if your a #1 Corner or were, It drives me absolutely nuts to be dinked and dunked on slant routes all the way down the field seeing your #1 Corner (at the time) getting abused on them because he isn't willing to make a jump on the ball

Have you watched the games that he has been getting beat this year? Cleveland game if it wasn't for Josh Gordon droping a touchdown pass after he beat powers we would have more then likely lost that game.

He's gone. It would be a different story if he had been performing better, but why resign a guy who not only can't stay healthy, he can't he can't play by a consistent standard? I watched him a lot during camp and he was phenomenal. I specifically remember him beating Reggie twice in a row for an interception, and various others. He really look liked a true number 1 CB, but when he gets on the field he just can't get it done. If we can't resign him for a cheap contract he's gone, and we going hunting this off-season.

end of the day it was a drop. you cant really say we lose games because of him. im not saying we keep him just making a case for him that hes a good corner. I will say though it does annoy me every time he gets beat on quick slants and curl routes.

He'll be gone he hasn't played well at all in the new defense. You'll never see him in a Colts uniform again.

i wouldn't completely shut the door on collie. If they can re-sign him for cheap which they probably can he's at least worth a pre-season look.

He couldn't even make it out of pre-season this year. Better not look at him too hard, you might make his head hurt or injure him some other way. Guy has talent but if he can't play more often than he doesn't, that doesn't make for a very wise choice. The days of spending money (no matter how "cheap") on consistently injured players hopefully are over.

    • Lawrence Owen recently said that Brandon Aiyuk is a "system WR who wouldn't put up 700 yards on 90% of NFL teams." He's about as untrusty of a narrator as you can possibly get. And like us watching at home, he is not privy to the route calls, the playcalls, the reads, etc.    But I watched the video. AP had a great game. However, Lawrence is driving this narrative with this one game against arguably the worst pass defense in the NFL last year. Fulton (#26), who was on AP much of this game, was especially bad last year, registering a 46 PFF grade.     They had mismatches all over coming into the game and they exploited it from the beginning, hence AP's involvement. It's really not any deeper than that. This game was a complete outlier from any other game too, as far as production.       So Minshew held back the whole team, but benefited MPJ and Downs?    If AP was getting open all the time and it was "like this every game", he wouldn't have ended up #124 in win route rate or #110 in avg. separation (min. 45 tgts). The people who watch every game and the tools that track these stats don't support this idea.   As someone said earlier, targets are earned. Minshew is executing the offense, but Steichen is the calling the plays and assigning reads in the RPO. So why wasn't Steichen dialing up more plays after this TEN game? Minshew made the throws in this game, so clearly he can make the throws.   And even with AR, who we know can make all the throws, they were hardly dialing up plays for AP either.   With the drafting of AD, it speaks volumes about who is holding back AP.
    • It’s gotta be one of those two or Laiatu.  I guess I’d say Odunze, since TE didn’t end up being a position we hit at all, so there’s no proof CB considered it a need.  However, that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t trade up for a unique talent (Bowers) for whom we have a “plan”…
    • Does it mean anything to you that Kwity had 2 less sacks than $170M Joey Bosey? Bosa played 180 more snaps. Kwity did a great job playing his edge, the run, and covering his flat. He also got his breather on a lot of 3rd downs because... we were developing Dayo and had Lewis who was very effective in rotation on limited snaps.     
    • Ballard had no idea who Turray was till the Senior Bowl. His trait was he was the fastest off the snap there. So let's take him and see if we can make a football player out of him.  And your final answer - Ben Banogu  Well he was a State Champion wrestler so he should a good tackler, a real leader, plays with unknown tenacity, a step slow but - Rock ya-sin.   Dodds and his large team do the scouting, Ballard has an organization to manage. He/we have not risen to the top with his underlings following his process.  We have been stumbling, bumbling for a number of years for sure.    The good news is we can see some very solid pieces he did choose are  foundations for our current reboot. The South is going to be a real battleground like we haven't seen.   
    • That’s my hope at least. We feel, more than any year in recent memory, primed to possibly go into next year’s off-season with no major holes (assuming we re-sign our FAs or our depth looks ready to step up). That lets us take BPA or try again to move up for an elite prospect. But there are a lot of IFs here (IF our DBs have an improved year. IF we don’t have any major fall offs in performance. IF we don’t have any late season major injuries, IF our rookies this coming year show us their trajectory is still high.   I would classify myself as cautiously amped moving forward haha.
