what has been your favorite grigs move

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Drafting Luck wasn't really his move. Any GM would of done that. So besides that, here are my top 5. 

 

 

1) Moving up to draft TY 

2) Re-signing Reggie

3) Vontae Davis trade

4) Jerrell Freeman pickup 

5) Trent trade and Landry signing- not because of their production so far but because it established the mentality of a smash mouth football team. I love that

This is correct!!

[Knuckles79]

Not resigning Curtis Painter. . Then Davis .

[Old Colt]

Trade for TRich

DITTO....... set a tone for now and future Monster!

[cdgacoltsfan]

this is hard...going to allen after fleener was bold. Davis trade was bold, Ty hilton trade was genius. Freeman discovery was also amazing.

 

 

man he is good

 

Lets face it...In a little over 1 1/2 years Grigs has made a gazillion great moves in the draft and in free agency without cap $$ and with cap $$

Kudo's to Jim for finding Grigs!

[BOTT]

Im not sure about that. There were a lot of teams that liked rg3 just as much as luck

A few maybe, but that's about it.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

Interesting. This is a good question: hypothetically, you think the Redskins would of picked rg3 if they had the 1st overall? i gotta say yes cause rg3 is a shanahan type player. 

i wld say the redskins are one of the few who wld take rg3. 

nonetheless, Andrew was the right choice

Luck is the perfect fit for Shanahan's offense.

I think Shanny would have taken Luck without thinking twice...how is RG3 more a Shanahan type qb when everyone and their grandmother compared Andrew to John Elway?

[Mitch Connors]

Of all the moves Grigson has made only one is playing at a potential all pro level this year;

 Vontae Davis

[beavis]

the attempts to sure up the o-line    keep up the good work

[Jason_]

Perhaps but none of those teams were owned by Jim Irsay.  Luck was the pick all along. ;)

[methodicaleddie]

Convincing Jim Irsay to hire him.

[Bluefire4]

Jerrell Freeman is definitely my favorite move. It's not everyday you pick up a person out of the blue that makes this much an impact. 

[fatboy]

All mentions were good, but a 2 for Vontae was genius. I thought "why bother - we'll stink anyway" which is probably what Miami was thinking. 11-5 later, it was a late 2nd Round pick, and we'd very well could have lost many of those close games without him. And he seems to be playing 1/2 decent this season too!

[schwamm]

His moneyball approach to free agency this past offseason.

[SLILLINGTON10]

How about Ballard or Bradshaw.. sure injuries but that two headed monster looked real good for a minute.

[NewEra]

A few maybe, but that's about it.

Yeah, that's like saying a ton of teams liked Ricky Williams over Edge, or Leaf over Manning. RG3 has not impressed me at all. All I see is the media hype machine in full effect. Last year anyways. He's not going to last long. Got hurt on a tackle qb's take all the time. Glad Luck is so big and strong. Helps take some of those blows.

[CCF]

I put Reggie staying on Chuck, for me it is for sure the Vontae Davis trade. Though the Landry signing could end up being just as big down the road. 

[Tark The Shark]

I really like the draft class of 2012, and the free agent class of 2013.

 

Luck, Fleener, Allen, Hilton in the draft. I would say Freeman but we didn't technically draft him, we picked him up in FA.

 

Cherlius, Walden, Toler, Landry. I believe Thomas & Bradshaw would be having great seasons if they weren't cut short due to injuries.

[Caleb3502]

What about signing our Long Snapper, Matt Overton, out of the United Football League.  Not a major player, but is still amazing how he made an NFL player out of UFL player.

[Maniq]

1. Standing alone is the trade for Vontae Davis. Absolutely genious move.

 

2. Jerrell Freeman

3. Trade up for TY Hilton

4. Cherilus

5. Hugh Thornton

6. Trent Richardson (time will tell, when he gets to know our play book fully)

[Nobody]

Vontae "Shutdown" Davis

[dudeman]

Favorite Grigson move? No move and then watch this board foam at the mouth like rabid puppies needing to be put down.

:cuss: :cuss:

[John Dee]

Gosder C and Thomas..     too bad for T but ...  as long as GC is in the game Indy is strong on the OL...

Obviously everyone will say drafting Andrew, but what else

[mo0nlighting]

For me:

 

1.) Vontae "Tom Brady" Davis.  Whatever or whomever got the fire lit under Vontae's hiney, kudos to you.  Kudos to Grigson for making this move.

2.) Signing of Jerrell Freeman.  

3.) Trading up for T.Y.

4.) Drafting Dwayne Allen.  (I miss him.)

5.) Trading for Stanley Havili.  Spider 2 Y Banana!

 

What has happened with this team since 2011 has been nothing short of remarkable.  Last year may have been smoke and mirrors, but they charlatan'd (yes, I just made that a verb) their way to an 11-5 record and playoff berth.  All with a rookie QB, a gutted team, and a fill-in coach who did a heckuva job.  This year, we seem to be ahead of schedule, and I, for one, am enjoying the ride.

 

Go Colts!

[SteelDragon]

Changing the philosophy on defense had me the most excited.  Going to the 3-4 with the mindset that the D will dictate to the opposing team's offense had my neck hair on end!  This is the kind of team I have been longing for since '84!  And we have a second year QB named Andrew Luck!  Are you kidding me?!?  Good times to be a Colts fan!

[GoColts8818]

Not resigning Curtis Painter. . Then Davis .

He in fact released Painter didn't even let him get to a spot to re-sign him.

[K-148]

Re-signing Robert Mathis.

[braveheartcolt]

I particularly like his little head nod, with the shimmy to the right while discreetly pumping his arms.....

[SIXTHOBJECT]

I would have to go with not resigning over paid old players from the Polian era.

[SolomonThomasFanAccount]

vontae/freeman /cherlius

[Carlos Danger]

2, 4, 3, re-signing Mathis, 1, Cherilus,  5

[pgt_rob]

He's done way too many great things for this team to have a favorite. I like our young offensive weapons and of course Vontae, Freeman, and Landry.

[OffensivelyPC]

Vontae Davis, Jerrell Freeman, Wayne, Landry, and I want to say Trent, but the jury is still out on that one (I give him a year from the date of acquisition)

[Le Neon]

The point should be made that Vontae was getting smoked early last season.  Now he looks like a star.  The same may be true for Richardson.

[basketballsteve]

This is a most impossible question to answer…..no matter how I answer it I would argue with my own answer…but…but…what about….

 

Still my answer would be Darius Butler who as the 3rd DB has allowed us to play so much press man and when they go to his guy he makes the plays AND if he wasn't acquired who would fill his shoes Gordy (?OMG no), Vaughn (No please) do you see my point?

[OffensivelyPC]

The point should be made that Vontae was getting smoked early last season.  Now he looks like a star.  The same may be true for Richardson.

Oh I certainly believe that he can.  I've made all the arguments I can for the guy and I've already been disrespectful about it to a few people on here, so I just say I'll adopt the "wait and see" approach to save the argument, lol.  I think he can absolutely be a Marshawn Lynch type of RB.  The similarities are already there, he's just got some developing to do and getting comfortable with our offense - which obviously takes time.

[cdgacoltsfan]

Of all the moves Grigson has made only one is playing at a potential all pro level this year;

 Vontae Davis

Yet they made the playoffs last year and are 5-2 this year with 3 quality wins over teams with more "all pro's"

Grigs has put together a nicely balanced TEAM.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

For me:

 

1.) Vontae "Tom Brady" Davis.  Whatever or whomever got the fire lit under Vontae's hiney, kudos to you.  Kudos to Grigson for making this move.

2.) Signing of Jerrell Freeman.  

3.) Trading up for T.Y.

4.) Drafting Dwayne Allen.  (I miss him.)
