Wow, clearly you have no idea who we have at that position. Clearly you don't know who's on the roster.

 

We have Nevis that can play the spot. We have Larry Guy who played very well. We have Geathers who started last year. They have guys who can play the spot, and there is the the draft as well.

 

The Colts managed very easily without Moala last year and many thought they would let Moala go because of it. The play from the D-line for a couple of weeks was solid. Guy and Geathers did a solid job if you ask me and provide very good depth. 

 

You are goofing. Of course i am familiar with all of our DE.

I am the Only person lately that I have seen that mentioned Guy as a promising player.

JMO, Nevis is a 4-3 DT and won`t survive in this system in time. Love his (injured) motor.

Geathers has Never started an NFL game in his 3 years. We had nothing left and had to play him, he wasn`t that bad and had a career year 8 games with his 3 tackles 2 assists 1 sack. VERY SOLID. haha!

 Moala two tackles in 8 games as a starter. His big game was 5 assists vs Buffalo. Killing Levitre probably. :D 

I haven`t seen one post saying Francois was a Big catch as a starter, have you?

His two sacks last year did tie Moala`s # for solo tackles. That just kills me.

Ricky can use his NT type strength to hold up at the point of attack, shed a blocker now and then and make TACKLES, and pick up as many sacks as Geathers, Nevis, Mathews, and Moala did combined last year.

 Francois maybe A "REAL" VERY GOOD Upgrade.

Moala isn't that big of a deal, and the signing of Jean-Francois is far from a must. 

 

Do some studying before calling me out. Oh and Redding plays the LDE spot, so it would be the RDE spot that you would be referring to. Just another mistake from you.

The only thing I disagree with is Nevis not surviving in this system.  I do agree that he's more of a 4-3 DT than a 3-4 DE, but we play enough 4 man fronts against passing teams and in passing situations that I think he'll still be very valuable to the team by providing an interior pass rush in those situations.  He is serviceable, but not great, at 3-4 DE but maybe with continued coaching and experience he can continue to improve in that area as well.

If we had 37.5 million after our re-signings with those guys we have around 12.4 million left assuming an even salary distribution.

 

Realistically the salary is likely back loaded as most contracts are.  

 

So figure 15 to 20 million in cap space left.  We probably only need maybe 4 million at most to sign our draft picks.  And we'll want to leave a couple million for in season transactions.  So we could probably sign RJF and maybe 1 or 2 more decent players.

i was looking at what is available for the contracts of the players the colts signed (there was nothing for butler and sidbury). they have probably used about 21.5 million of cap space. do tendered players count against the cap? you have draft and practice squad players plus the wiggle room money that is probably over 5 million in case they need to sign a player during the season. you are probably in the 35 million range after all this. you can always cut players and go back down and then sign someone to take their place. fans have no way of knowing the real numbers that teams really are dealing with.

 

i think the colts did a really good job and offered very team friendly contracts to the free agents. you couldn't have done that with the big names that most fans wanted.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Superman · Posted

      First, when I listened to Ballard on McAfee, I basically heard him say they're going to watch other teams sign veteran players, and they plan to roll with what they have. So that's what I expect.   Second, I think it's possible that people who talk about Cross and other players on the roster are overly critical. I guess we'll see.   Lastly, and this is more cynical on my part, I think the biggest problem with our pass coverage is the way the defense is called by Bradley. And that being the case, the most meaningful improvement will come from really good pass rush. So everyone is focused on who's playing corner and safety, and I'm more interested in what the defensive line does.

      Chad?   What does this even mean?   “Letting it go to waste like he did with Raimann”.      Can you elaborate please?   You lost me.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      I guess the simple reply is that whether you agree or not that those guys were starting level corners, they were not available last year. So watching Baker and Brown get torched and saying 'we went into the season with a bad secondary and we're doing it again!' is a misrepresentation, IMO.   If we were to go more in depth, I'd disagree with your characterization of Rodgers. I think he was a solid starting option, and should have been playing more even sooner. And it wasn't until after the draft last year that anyone knew he was in trouble. Flowers was unproven, but I think he was better than the players who had to replace him.    I agree with the last sentence. Assuming nothing drastic happens between now and the start of the season, I'd argue that this year's secondary should be better, just by virtue of the experience that players like Jones and Brents got last year, plus a hope for Flowers to return. And I think that's what Ballard and Co. are counting on. Whether we think that's the best strategy or not. I'd rather see them add a veteran, but I'm not going to harp on it endlessly, and I'll judge the plan on the results, not against my expectations.

      I like Brents, Moore & Jones but anyone saying we do not need more help at cb is clearly forgetting about week 18. Nico Collins, 9 for 9, 195 yards, 1 TD. Solid depth in the secondary and we would have been in the playoffs.  I am a Ballard supporter but not addressing glaring holes because he "feels good about the young guys" frustrates the 💩 out of me. It has cost us games yr after yr. Steven Nelson would be an excellent pickup for this team imo. He'd provide depth, mentorship & has the ability to play at a high level if/when needed.

      Pretty predictable really because eventhough they are short handed, they still have good players, were at home, and beating them 4 games in a row was asking a lot. We will be ok and close them out at home on Thursday.
