Mod note: I just removed a bunch of off topic nonsense from this thread (which is mostly nonsense itself, so imagine how nonsensical the removed posts had to be...) Please either get back on topic or just refrain from posting in this thread. Thanks.

While RJF is versatile, he won't be a "true" NT. I'm sure they've said something to that effect, but he is not really a NT in any respect.

 

Hughes is most likely going to fill the Ngata type of DE role, and provide depth at NT should it be required.  I suspect Franklin or McKinney could potentially be cut, but I further suspect that they offer us more quality options on the line primarily at NT and secondarily at DE should RJF/Redding/Hughes go out.  In any case, we could potentially cut a quality player this time around.

 

All in all, I strongly doubt this guy, if he is ever signed, will have anything to do with it.

I'm not sure why they brought in Franklin...he is 32 and this will be his 11th year...he is older and lighter than Chapman, McKinney, Tevaseau...he must be just injury insurance....could easily be a cut if all the other NTs are healthy.

I think they brought in Franklin because by many accounts he's had a very good last year or two....   so, since they signed him for one year at right around the Veran's Minimum,  there's no downside here.   But I suspect he's pretty highly regarded here.   Remember, we brought in a player-personnel guy from San Diego where Franklin just played.   I think his name is Jimmy Raye. He would known Franklin.    I'm expecting him to make the team and at the very least be a rotational player.

This guy has a better shot in the WWE than making our roster... If all it took was being huge, then every team would be searching the Sumo circuit every offseason... There are always exceptions, but most professional athletes have to dedicate years of their life to learning their craft and only reach their prime after years in the league, learning the ropes...

Trust me the guy is a monster I seem him yesterday he finished first in his group ik that much lol

There is an event called the atlas balls that he did he did it so fast and he actually lifted all the balls the last is over 400 pounds and there is no handle or and thing just a smooth ball it was crazy he did all 5 of his faster then the second place guy got 4of the balls

Lots of room for jokes here but I'll just say that how he handles balls off the field doesn't count as much as how he handles ball carriers on the field.

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
