What Cornerbacks Will Fill out the Roster?

 

Will Hugh Thornton Beat out Mike McGlynn?

 

How Will Snaps Be Spread out Among Andrew Luck's Receiving Targets?

 

Will the 7th-Round Picks Fight Their Way onto the Roster?

I actually enjoyed looking at the Bleacher Report article.  I hop the UFA corners come in and push Gordy and Vaughn out of the mix!!!

 

I also hope the offense is diversified enough to spread the ball around to what I consider to be a nice receiving corp....DHB, TY and Uncle Reggie need to all get the ball...as do Fleener, Allen, Havili, and the other RBs.....have to get in open spaces.  Who makes the team as final WRs?

 

McGlynn is horrible....Thonrton is my pick at RG....I personally would send McGlynn out the door....any other backups play center?  The Shipley/Satele argument may rise again????

 

DL:  This has Franklin should be worried.  Why?  He is the only proven run stuffer on the DL.  I love Chapman and I think he gets the start, but Franklin is the backup....Montori Hughes can play the other DT spots in addition to NT.

 

I like the LBs....I know a lot of others think they are thin....We may even have some battles we did not expect...with the rookies coming in... :colts:  :colts:  :colts:

I highly doubt that argument will surface again.  Even if it does, it would be pointless.  Shipley's on another team now.

I don't want the "McAwful" :funny: that I witnessed last year on the team.  But, if the FO decides to keep him and if Pagano decides to play him; I hope that the chemistry he has with the new line is good.  All I want to see is a better O-line.  It's good that Pagano has options now.

OK...I am fine with the competition for sure...I will go with the coaches decision I guess...they are at practice.  If McTerrible make it...so be it...we already are stuck with Suck-tele. :(

    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women. 
    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
