He may end up with the Pats, but I think if we really wanted him we would be equally appealing ... we have shown we are more than willing to give players who came to us in non-traditional ways (draft) a real shot, and Freeman being one of those guys also from CFL IMO would give us a legitimate shot.

I think Grigson's willingness to look outside the box, and gamble a little on players gives us a leg up with players like this as well as popular UDFAs.

Yep I was wrong! Im excited to see what he can bring. Looks like he's got a lot of talent and athletic ability.

He will go to the Pats, bank on it. They are a popular name and will draw him because they are the Patriots.

 

Considering he's a CFL project I think he'd likely go for the best contract first.  It's not like this guy has millions in the bank and can just go for his favorite team.  He's got to go for the team that's offering him the best deal.

Yeah, best deal is part of it, but this is a smart kid, and he and his agent likely also took opportunity into consideration.  The Colts have a much bigger hole at ILB than the Pats, and thus a much better opportunity for playing time, and a second, more lucrative contract.  That and the fact that Grigson and the Colts have a track record developing former CFL talent likely meant just as much if not more than the dollars, which were probably close.

 

Having seen this kid play live many times (against admittedly lesser talent) I think he is perfect for the Colts.  He has some development to do without question, and is likely a year or so away from having an impact, but he has all the physical skills and the attitude to develop into a starter, and a good one at that!

      Bad clock management at the end of the game

      A “fireable offense?”

      AR vs Bryce Young

      It clearly isn’t all the line  in panthers land. Dalton had no issues. Young is small and meak. He gets swamped up. He isnt like Murray. If young had Murray’s body type he might be ok but he doesn’t. He looks like he don’t know what he is doing.

      That is so far my third biggest gripe with SS.  First being his offense seems very vanilla.  We are approaching Frank Reich status here.   Second I don't think AR is making as much progress as he should be.   Third he seems to make very poor in game decisions and then takes the blame as if that is a huge testament to his character.   I could care less about character.  Just learn how to coach.  And when the clock is at 2:01 and you have a kickoff coming against a team with 1 timeout left?  You run the ball out of the endzone and you literally scream at your special teamers or your special teams coach to do that.   The fact that he didn't literally tells me he is a stupid person when it comes to football IQ.

      Colts vs Bears post game thread

      What did you think of Luck after his first 7 games? How about Peyton Manning? Josh Allen? Richardson has a higher completion percentage (54.8) than Luck ( 49.5) and Allen ( 52.8) through his first 7 games. And less than 5% completion percentage behind Manning (59.5). Richardson has more Yards per throw (7.4) than any of them (Manning 7.1, Allen 6.8 and Luck 6.5) . Richardson has a higher QB rating (72.7) than Manning (71.8) and Luck (65.9), and less than 4% points behind Allen (76.3). Sure..... Allen is the exception that proves the rule.... ok. Richardson's accuracy is the type of throws that CAN be fixed. Those short and intermediate throws are easier to fix than the deeper routes. And oh by the way, it's not like we havent seen him do it. He had a darned near 60% completion percentage last year in the games he played as a pure rookie. The guy is coming off of season ending surgery and had no offseason and you are writing him off..... give me a break.

      AR vs Bryce Young

      Today AR is ahead, but he wasn’t when they were picked. Young WAS far more accurate in College. And he led a team to a National Championship.  That has to mean something.
