Kurt Coleman to visit Colts

Recommended Posts

Ha, been saying he's one of the worst starting safeties in the league for years (although last year he was a backup).

 

Now he's visiting the Colts. He's a punk, and I'm not even getting into that Collie hit. 

 

He's a......  Punk?!?

 

What did he do to get that label thrown at him?

Andy is a fool that thinks he's much smarter than he is, if you hadn't noticed. Constantly trying to give his awful opinions as fact.

Do you really think they're giving up on Werner already?

Has nothing to do with giving up on Werner...or anyone else for that matter, It has to do with going BPA, There is a strong chance that the BPA at 59 is a 3-4 OLB/DE or maybe WR. I dont think a Safety will be the BPA even at a position of need

Why do I feel like you and I are the only ones who think this..

My fear is the best R2 safeties will be gone by 59.    

 

And that the best R3 safeties would be considered a reach at 59, and won't last until 90.

 

Kinda stuck in No Man's Land.     That's my draft fear.........

 

So, we might have to go BPA and take an OLB or WR....

 

Whoever we take, I hope we don't reach...............

Did you read the exchange I responded to? They were talking about specific positions.

Yeah, I don't like our chances for safety when the time comes. I'm not even sure WR will be either. With all the hype about this WR class I think we may see a landrush for them and we may be stretching to take one.

Does anyone else wish we would look into signing FS Thomas DeCoud? He's coming off a bit of a down year, but he was a pro bowler in 2012. I think he would provide great competition for Howell, and he's only missed 7 games from 2008 - 2013.  Plus I'm sure we could get him very cheap. I know it's really unlikely, but I think he would be a good pickup. I think he's visiting Carolina on Monday.

I wondered about him too. He's probably the highest rated FA S left. Wright just signed.

If the Panthers don't get him, it would be worth a shot. S has to be our weakest, or at least most in certain position.

Seems that some people lack the ability to comment without resorting to insult! Perhaps they could develop a little "class."

I may be completely alone in this, but I want to see what Howell can really do given the chance. He looked great in the games he played last year. We have had good luck with no name safeties recently.

 

It certainly looks like he will be given a shot to prove his worth.

I'd take a hard worker with limited talent on a lower end deal any day. There isn't much to lose if the deal is right. Coleman isn't the kind of player that is going to really be guaranteed anything. I assume he can pitch in on ST, but I'll defer to any Eagles fans stopping by on that.

Well any news on him did we sign him or what

 

He's signing with the Vikings. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10782069/safety-kurt-coleman-minnesota-vikings-agree-terms

 

I don't mind this; I don't think Coleman would make us better. But I believe this is the first time we've brought in a veteran free agent for a visit, and then didn't sign him. So Grigson is probably batting .975 now, rather than 1.000.

well if he missed on one, then I'd rather it be on someone like Coleman than the higher priority visits he's had the last couple years

Not a major loss

maybe I missed something, but did the Colts even make an offer after his visit???

is it a possibility that the F.O./coaching staff didn't warm up to Coleman during the visit so they "Let" him walk.?.?.

Very possible. There's no report that an offer was made. And I don't care that we didn't get him; I didn't want him. But as far as I can remember, this is the first time a player has visited and not signed in the Grigson tenure.

Actually,  the infamous Darrius Heyward Bey came and went (the first time) without a contract...  and he have left and gone on to Detroit...   where he didn't sign...   and ultimately came back to Indy where he did sign on his 2nd visit.

 

Honestly, I had forgotten that and then someone else brought that up in another thread a few weeks ago....

 

So,  Grigson's batting average is not quite that high....

The way DHB played this season, they should've locked the doors & put 2 German Shepards at the front when he left the 1st time

Landry left and visited another team, then signed a few days later. But both he and DHB eventually signed with us.

    • Why does Steichen play calling remind me so much of Frank Reich? 3 runs up the middle, then call a screen on 3rd and 17. He's had some really bad series play calling wise these last few games.  Speaking of, how is this team still so bad at running/defending screens still??    Franklin needs to be benched. That dude is doing his best Shaq Leonard impression and and he flat out sucks.    It would be nice to see a TE pass once a game for crying out loud.    That was a game of who's QB is less crappy. (not sure ours was better tbh) but that was brutal to watch.    AR has got to figure out his footwork. These sailing balls are out of control and happen way too often. Then when he tried to put touch on the pass, it's underthrown. They have got to devote more time to his mechanics.    I would've liked to see better blocking for JT. JT made some stuff happen, but he got stuffed quite often too. There are other runs beside up the middle there Steichen.    AR playing out of shotgun is getting old.    If Latu stays healthy, we got the steal of the draft.    I will say that if your O-line features Matt Pryor at guard, you're gonna have problems. 
    • Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin    
    • I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.
