When our line is as bad as it is, you shouldn't take chances like this. You should sign proven players and know what your getting. Jonathan Goodwin is getting older, but would be a way better option than Costa IMO, and wouldn't break the bank either.

Jep, it is time that we get some proven quality for the entire O-Line. Do we want Luck injured? And how about that running game? I want to hear no more talk on these issues from the FO, I want action! :strong:

You get the player you think can help our line out the best for his paycheck, not just sign some big name lineman

I really don't want a C that's going to battle it out for starting role with Holmes, I want a C that will be the obvious choice, unless it's a rookie who's has to develop a little. We shouldn't be looking for depth, let's get a true starter and difference maker.

There are a lot of comments in this thread indicating that people are making way too much of Costa's visit. He's played some NFL football, and we are going to need O-lineman with some meaningful experience that can be one of our 4 backups.  He is exactly that kind of player, and other teams have brought him in for visits for the same reason.  That he can play center is a benefit, not a threat......that he will sign somewhere for very little money is also a benefit, not a threat.  

 

Very little to see here.....now, back to our regularly scheduled reactionary programming.

    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
