OK, so now Bradshaw will be activated.  I wonder if that will translate to us seeing him play in pre-season.  I would assume that we might catch a glimse or two, but that's about it. 

 

I was kind of disappointed that the Colts didn't try too many running plays in the last game.  There were a couple in the beginning of the game and absolutely none in the second half.  Do you think they will try more running plays now that Bradshaw is on the team?  I know that the Colts will always be a pass heavy team.  I don't see that changing.

 I believe he's ready to go the team is taking precautions holding him out which is smart.  We need him late in the season especially.

It was preseason week 1.  We were not running plays to win the game.  We were running whatever we needed to, to create situations that we could learn the most from.    

 

maybe in week 3 we will have a gameplan and try to win the game but that is not what week 1 is for.

No he's not playing in any preseason games.  They had to activate him on a technicality but he's not playing until the real games begin.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      I hope we’re not planning to play Blackmon at FS. He may have experience there but his worst football has been at FS. He’s by far a better SS.    I think Cross is best as Blackmons backup at SS. Hope Scott can play FS, then we’ll have to rely on Thomas as his backup. 🤢

      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.

      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.
