It's my understanding that every team must outscore the opponent to win. Also, there is time to add a vet. Simmons will be signed by some team very shortly

I wanted the Colts to sign a veteran FS as well. I thought that was the better option than drafting because I feel we need some experience in the deep back-field. Blackmon at FS is an option, but we're weakening SS to fix a hole at FS instead of fixing the hole at FS and keeping SS a strength of the defense. It's just a poor way of fixing this issue in my opinion. I realise Simmons may just be out of our range for money reasons or he may not want to play here, but there are other good options (like Diggs). Also, Ballard said he feels you only get a real feel for your guys when they are in pads and the Colts have only been in pads twice so far. But, when the team is already experimenting with sliding Blackmon to FS isn't that sorta capitulating and saying "we don't have a real answer here"? Blackmon is a lot better as a SS than FS.

Odds are, Ballard will use as much of the pre-season as they can. Possibly all of August and right up to cut down day. He’s going to give his kids as much opportunity as he can. Now, could that change if Simmons or Diggs are close to signing with another team? Sure. We’re all assuming (me included) that Ballard wants one of them, so one would think his agent will give the Colts a heads up call. “My client is close to signing with another team. Here’s how much he’d like to sign with you.” And that might happen sooner than the end of the month. Lots of moving pieces here. But at least it would appear the Colts will have multiple options. Can’t ask for much more than that. -

I'm sure he does, but I was just wondering. Are we allowed to wonder about something on here?...lol -

Yep. I said during the draft that I was ok with not drafting any secondary help until day 3 as long as we signed a veteran to fill the role later on. We haven't done that yet. Also remember that Daniel Scott is out for the year again, making an already weak S group even weaker. Blackmon fills one spot, sure, but we need to fill the other S spot. Can't necessarily count on Cross at FS if Blackmon plays SS, and if Blackmon plays FS, you have to play Harrison at SS. People can say that no one has really signed out of Simmons and Diggs yet, but there are 32 teams they could sign with, and when there's an injury to a contender, then Simmons or Diggs is most likely going to sign with that team. As I have said, it's a game of cat and mouse. Ballard has seen a week of training camp from the secondary. How much more of a sample size does he need before making a decision? Our leverage is we can offer a starting job to one of these guys. When an injury or two happens to another team, they'll have that same leverage over us as well as being able to offer a chance to win a SB potentially. We need to strike while the iron is hot.
