Why the hate?

 

I did my research from Bears fans and seem to think he is a reasonable guard but injuries is the main concern and the main reason he got cut from the Dolphins. Maybe since the ACL tear his performance hasn't been the same?

He was terrible before the injury.

Yea he is. He's worse than McGlynn.

 

 

 

I doubt that. I seen Louis play in Chicago and like I said, he was nothing special but he was not terrible and he would be no worse than McGlynn at guard if he could stay healthy. With that said, I certainly wouldn't want him starting for us and I highly doubt he was brought in for that role.

What is a reserve/future contract again?

Basically, when a player is signed to “reserve/futures” contracts means they are being signed for the upcoming season even though that season does not officially begin until the official start of the league’s new year as outlined by the NFL. Only players who were not on any NFL team’s active roster when the previous season ended are eligible for these types of contracts. If they were under contract, then they would remain so until the league’s new year starts. Players who were on practice squads at the end of the season are eligible to sign with any team. Hence the reason that you see many practice squad players being signed by their current team for the upcoming year to a reserve/futures contract. That way the team can continue to work with a player they’re familiar with and hopefully get them ready for an eventual roster spot on game day.

Basically a contract to get you into OTA/training camp

You must have watched his best game or somthing because this guy is just awful. He couldn't make it as a depth player on the Bears awful oline.

He gave up more sacks, hits and hurries in 2011 than McGlynn did this year in like 120 less pass blocks.

That being said, he's camp fodder so it doesn't really matter anyway.

Nah, I think he is a slight upgrade over Mcglynn, not a starter but better depth then Mcglynn, watching him now I think he gets to the 2nd level consistently well but not a mauler in the run game....Better suited for a Zone scheme in my opinion but was pretty stout in pass blocking in 2012.....2 sacks allowed, 7 pressures...But only 11 games

Mcglynn thinks that is a good game.

I'm really starting to worry about Grigson after reading all the comment's on this guy Grigson 2nd year was a disaster

 

Right....

 

He's put together a roster for two years that's only won 23 games, including one in the playoffs...

 

And in his first year he had to do that without $40 Million to spend because of Dead Cap money issues.

 

And you're really starting to worry?    Really??

 

Grigson's 2nd year was a disaster?   Is this supposed to be sarcasm that I'm not getting,  because otherwise,  you lost me....

Yeah, give the guy a chance to see what he can do in the OTAs and camps.

Hey, at least we can say that Grigson has seen the holes on this roster and is already trying to gain depth there. Although this guy may not be any good, at least we can see what he's got, right?

That's right. If he's better than our worst G currently on the roster, then it's a good pickup.

We're going to end up with 90 guys on the roster by August. A lot of them are just going to be camp bodies.

So tell me what great free agents and draft picks did you like in his second year

Do you even watch football? We are a team that led the league in IR players. 2 years removed from a new coaching staff and huge overhaul to the team and still managed to win a playoff game much less make it to the playoffs. You people fricken kill me.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
