I dunno, but a guy off the scrap heap like Pendleton plays better than Montori (our next Haloti Ngata according to the exagerating Coach Chuck)...Pagano overstates his players' abilities so much he has compromised his credibility....I just laugh at Pagano 's hyperboles now...he is a joke.

Always build a defense from the inside out. RJF and Redding shouldn't be starters. Redding only because of age and wear and tear on body, RJF no comment. Chapman is still young so i think he'll end up being the starter. 

 

1. DE - 2014 draft pick, Daquan Jones or Kelcy Quarles 

2. DE - Arthur Jones or Montari Hughes improves

3. ILB - 2014 draft pick 

4. CB - 2014 draft pick 

5. FS - 2014 draft pick

How are Pagano's hyperboles worse than yours?

We need 2 DE's, 1OLB, 1ILB, 1 CB and 2 safeties. I factored in age when making my assessment. Elite needs are a DE, OLB/ILB and CB. Backups and a few project/develop players for other needs

 

A football guy! You get it where FEW here do.

These people are ok with some of these total duds. Go figure.

it sounds like it at times. He clearly plays inferior players for no reason

I totally agree, how does Shepard keep starting over Conner, every time Conner comes in the game he seems to make a play.Same goes for Angerer , I rather play Mcnary or Studabaker instead of Angerer.If u want a slow linebacker bring in Brandon Spikes, at least he can tackle.

I'm guessing it's because Conner played poorly every time he was in the game and was a liability in both pass coverage and against the run.  And because, looking at all 16 games Angerer graded out as the 4th best LB for the Colts and if you look at it on a per game played (because he missed five games) Angerer was the 3rd best LB per game (behind Mathis and Freeman).

which proves me correct.

Right?

While you're arguments are consistent they lack completeness. That is to say we don't have the full information that Pagano does. As you yourself it would illogical for him to pick players of they're worse than those left on the bench so there must be reasons we are not privy too. Rightly or wrongly I'm sure there is a reason, but as we don't know what it is we're just second guessing here.

I.e without the full information a logical argument can be proved neither valid or invalid. Or ... We can armchair GM all we want but it ain't worth spit :P

1-a run-stopping D lineman--one for now, but need 2-the current group just didn't get it done despite 2 free agents coming in

2-ILB-Freeman is solid at one ILB, but we need the other to be a run-stopper as well

3-OLB-I just don't see Werner being more than servicable, but he is so young i will give him a chance. I see his best years at 6-8 sacks. I think we need more, espcially to replace Mathis as he ages

4-cover safety

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Love the addition of Latu. I wanted him and/or the corner who is blazing fast and a man corner (cannot remember his name). I never thought Ballard would pick either because of the injury history for Latu and the other not a zone corner. In reality, the D could be a lot better this year than last. However it may not be reflected in the stats because they play some very good qb's this year. Last year, the D faced horrible qb play and what is alarming is that they actually put up stats near the bottom.  That being said, I cannot see the D being worse than last year if that is comforting, lol??

      We’ll see if it remains average this year.  I think it’s possible, but unlikely.   Put another way,  if the Colts defense is average in 2024 I will be very, Very, VERY disappointed.

      I agree with you that he is not trying to build an average defense. It is just a plain fact that after 8 yeas of drafting and free agency, he has managed to do it.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By Superman · Posted

      Kind of an extreme example, but Jim Irsay specifically praising Bryce Young last year could qualify. In general though, if a team is trying to throw off the scent by floating positive information about other players, that seems harmless. It's different if a team is trashing a player to try to get him to drop into their range, and I don't think that's something that actually happens. If it did, I think that would be highly inappropriate, and I think a good reporter would look back and recognize that their source was using them, and think twice about trusting that source again.     So I think this is way more common than what McGinn did. And I don't think people ignore it, unless it's something they don't want to hear. Most sports reports include some version of 'I've been told...' without naming or directly quoting a source. A lot of those are just fact-based, black/white reports, but that often happens with more opinion-based or viewpoint-based reporting as well.     I don't know if anyone necessarily likes those reports, but I do think we consume them, and are generally influenced by them. Yeah, the substantiated/analytical stuff is way more valuable than a report discussion a potential character issue, but if it has a legitimate foundation -- AD Mitchell does have diabetes, it can be difficult for someone with that condition to control their mood and energy levels -- then I think it should be considered. Ultimately, I know the quality of information I have access to is nowhere near what the teams are getting, so I don't worry too much about it.      Yeah, I fully agree. Ballard faced the media when the Okereke story came out, and it was obvious the team had done their homework. He was firm when asked about Ogletree coming back. The Colts are thorough. Doesn't mean nothing can go wrong once they draft the guy, but I'm confident they've checked all their boxes.    And definitely, I think Ballard 100% meant everything he said, and I have no problem with him saying it. But, I think there's a difference between McGinn's report, and the narrative that came later. I think the report was based on anonymous insights, and the narrative was based on sensational headlines. And I'd say Ballard's comments apply more to the narrative than to the report.
