I'd rather have us trade a player like Angerer for OL help than adding another RB. Instead of dealing away more draft picks, see if we can get value for some of our players we don't desperately need. I feel like Bradshaw, Brown, and Williams could get it done with a decent OL.

 

Someone like OT/G Jeff Allen from the chiefs would be an option.

We'd never trade Bradshaw after just signing him. No one is going to give up a quality OLineman for a RB anyway. They're a dime a dozen. It would have to be a draft pick.

The O line isn't the problem right now. I think we've been out coached two games in a row. I'm not saying fire anyone, we just have to get better. New head coach, new OC, it may just take time.

The coaches didn't make Jones drop the ball at the goal line, or cause Reggie to have a brain fart, or force Luck to throw a pick.

I do question allowing AV to attempt a 52 yarder though.

We need to trade for a CB i think that's the biggest problem with this team. Offense put up a bunch of yards and we moved the ball, we just couldn't stop their WR's. I'll be willing to give up a 1st for Joe Haden or a top notch CB because we desperately need it.

A pass rusher would do a lot more for the Colts than a CB

We got great pressure on Tannehill today mostly in a 4 man front, the problem is our CB's couldn't cover slants,out routes, or any type of routes for 2.5 seconds. I like Davis and Toler as #2 and #3CB's but this team is in dire need of a physical shutdown CB.

The colts got pressure in a few spurts, but other than that it was pretty tame.....much like last week.

I would bring back Saturday...

not sure if this is a joke or not but if its not look at the man he's about the size of Andrew Luck now he's in no shape to play. Also based on last year he's done which is why I think he retired he knows it. Now if we wanted him to help coach the online I would be all for it. I always thought Jeff would make a good coach.

I doubt the Browns would trade Haden because the Browns are actually really close to contention. I never understood why we didn't make a move for Revis though. That just made too much sense. I do agree that while Davis could be a phenomenal number two corner we need a number one, shutdown corner.

Yeah, if Tampa did that, I would also try and do Griff Whalen for Vincent Jackson.

 

 

It would help some here, if, when you make a post like that, if you would use an emoticon to make things more obvious for them...

 

You know.....    like this.....        :sarcasm:         Otherwise.....    you know...   they'll think you're serious....

at times we got pressure and when we did Tannehill struggled. Then the middle of the third till the end of the game we struggled to get heat and he played well. Like Fouts said at one point the Colts pass rush has disappeared and Tannehill is picking them apart. Coverage only holds up for so long if you don't get to the QB. That's why pass rush is so important in the NFL.

For Oline: trade for someone like Alex Boone from the 49ers to replace thomas but until he learns the playbook etc, have thornton plugged in at LG and eventually replace Mcglynn.

Dline:keep in chapman rather than start franklin.

LBs: with angerer and freeman playing well, that kinda makes sheppard and conner expendable for a trade. With that said, I would always love the idea of trading for someone like navorro bowman.also we need to keep walden off the field, he can't generate a pass rush and he's even questionable against the run.

CBs: we need to in the offseason to either pick up sam shields and/or draft bradley roby/jason verrett

as fas as Walden he wasn't brought here to rush the passer your later point is more concerning when it comes to him.

Who's gonna trade a quality guard that could start and produce for Angerer?

Face it, if were that desperate for a guard we are going to have to give up a decent draft pick.

      Early look at end of season 2024 offensive lineman free agents

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Colt's end of season OL Free Agents  OC Ryan Kelly OG Will Fries OC Danny Pinter OG Wesley French - RFA RG Jack Anderson LG Arlington Hambright - RFA RT Lewis Kidd - ERFA LG Josh Sills - RFA   NFL Market OL Free Agents:  LT Jackson Carman (Bengals)  LT Andrus Peat (Raiders) LT Andre Dillard (Packers) LT Walker Little (Jaguars)  LT Jaylon Moore (49ers)  LG Ben Bartch (49ers) LT/LG Saahdiq Charles (Titans)  LG Kayode Awosika (Lions) - RFA LG Nick Leverett (Patriots) OC Drew Dalman (Atlanta) OC/LG Trystan Colon (Cardinals) OC/LG Bradley Bozeman (Chargers)  OC/RT Robert Hainsey (TB Bucs)  RG/OC Nate Herbig (Steelers) RG Daniel Brunskill (Titans)  LG/RG Chandler Brewer (Jaguars) LG/RG Michael Jordan (Patriots) RT Jake Curhan (Bears) LT/RT Larry Borom (Bears)  LT/RT Chuma Edoga (Cowboys) RT Calvin Anderson (Patriots)    A few from the above mentioned wouldn't mind targeting after this season: Dalman (Atlanta) – in 2023 finished 6th best OL in zone with an 82.3 PFF grade.  Atlanta ran the most zone concepts of any team in regular season (315) where Dalman excelled earning a 90.9 run-blocking grade. Hainsey (TB Bucs) - best fit is inside zone run scheme Anderson (Patriots) – with Denver used to playing in a zone-blocking scheme Moore (49ers) – 3-year starter at Western Michigan’s shotgun, zone-based run scheme Carman (Bengals) – good fit in a zone scheme Bozeman (Chargers) – move to OC seen an improvement Brunskill (Titans) - solid backup with starter potential in his 30's Little (Jaguars) – good at reach blocking and outside zone   2025 OL Free Agents: - quick shoutout LG Isaac Seumalo (Steelers) – 2025 FA solid starter for years but the team draft Mason McCormick to be new starter in 2024 also be 32 years old in 2025.  Q. Nelson good until 2026 and will be 30 years old.  Starting guard in a zone scheme ideal. RT Thayer Munford (Raiders) – 2025 FA playing well – trade? Munford in 2022 on 432 run plays, 335 or 77. Percent were zone runs where he earned the third highest grade among the conference’s tackles with a 79.5 mark (Ohio State’s zone-heavy run scheme).  Braden Smith's contract set to expire.  Munford key replacement as an option. RT John Ojukwu (Titans) – 2024 ERFA 2025 FA? – best long-term position might be inside as a zone blocking guard.  A five-year starter for Boise State’s run heavy (60-40 run-pass) RPO based offense.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By OhioColt · Posted

      It's not just drop percentages.  The Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.  Adonai Mitchell during his Combine forty reached top speed overall at 23.84 mph.  Even Pierce had been clocked running 19.82 mph which is impressive for a man his size.  Downs unfortunately wasn't able to find a good metric on but did clock a respectable Combine forty time.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Welcome back.   After taking a month off, you’ve returned.   I’m not sure where to start, so let’s try the night the Colts drafted Mitchell.  Late that night, you and another high profile Ballard-Hater had this conversation:  That you didn’t like CBs defense of Mitchell.  His big speech.  Why?  Because you guys agreed that “Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy or not.”   Your words.     When my chin came off the floor and my eyes back in my head I thought this:   Why would you OR the fans of any team ever think that what a GM shares on draft night is all he knows?   Because it isn’t.  A GM is sharing all that he wants to share, nothing more.  But what he doesn’t share is much, much more than what he does share.  Think an iceberg;  10 percent above water,  90 percent below.   A GM knows far more than he ever shares.    And now you make this argument….   If Mitchell doesn’t work out, Ballard has left himself open to criticism.   Two words:  who cares?   A GM can’t do his job well if he’s afraid of criticism.  Do you think the Steelers care that George Pickens is totally crazy?   No.  They care he makes big plays for Pittsburgh and catches first downs and touchdowns.  Mike Tomlin deals with the crazy part in private.   A GM has to have thick skin.  Ballard clearly does.   And he doesn’t care what others think of him.  Nor should he.     So far Mitchell seems to enjoy Indy.   I think the odds are good Ballard and Steichen can handle whatever baggage the kid brings.
