Reitz is one of the better O lineman on the team IMO. He was the starter coming out of camp in 2012 at RG but as you said injuries.

As strange as this sounds I am not worried about the injuries we have the depth to deal with it finally. I am interested to see what Purifoy does with some extra time.

We just need to get this game and heal up. It's almost like having 2 byes as much as I dislike Thursday games it will help in the long run as long as we get the W and its guaranteed to be on tv even in AK

I dont think this change is going to make us lose against the Texans, but we better have them all rested up for Cincinnati, because if we don't we are in trouble.  Hopefully Jones, Butler, Mewhort, and Thornton are all back.  If so, I believe we will beat the Bengals.  Then the only tough teams in our way is NE and Dallas.

I expect us to go straight up 3 TE set mode when we play Watt and Clowney.

We may, but we have to get our weapons on the field too.  I would go straight up with Clowney personally and prove he can get by a real LT.  For those who do not think AC is........you have zero clue about football...(Not intended for you on that Blue Shoe.

Well don't know about the rest of you but im not that worried ,just watched the Cowboys walk all over them. The run D is pourus at best if they didn't have JJ they would flat out suck. As for us next man up we will be fine , we have more depth than some here give us credit for IMO.

Will continue to ,Pagano wont settle for less , nor should he. With backups we have theres no excuses.

i totally agree.  Joe Gilbert has some pretty good 'relievers' this year.  I am really looking forward to Big Joe out there.  Do not disappoint number 76!!

Way too many ankle injuries this year. 3 people out this week and Thorton out 2 weeks ago all had ankle injuries. Hopefully we have everybody playing against the Bengals.

There seems to be a rash of ankle injuries this year. Time to tell the trainers to add a layer of tape on those ankles.

    • Feel the need to clarify something.   The writer of the article, Bob McGinn, is one of the top-10 football writers there is.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) McGinn does NOT have an opinion on Mitchell.  It’s the unnamed scouts who have the negative opinions.  McGinn is quoting them which is his job.  He is supposed to do that.     Ballard even acknowledged that in his own way.  He literally said “put your name on it!”   Well, McGinn’s name IS on it.  it’s his column.   But it’s the scouts who are saying things anonymously.   If there’s an issue, (if) it’s with them, not McGinn.     
    • And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know. 
    • But if the Colts sign someone next week or the week after then it really doesn’t matter.    I would’ve preferred we sign some two weeks ago.   Get them familiar with the DC and position coach.   But once we didn’t then it really doesn’t matter when.  It just matters that we do it before camp opens.  At least to me.    And the fact no one else is signing these top FA safeties tells me the market just isn’t there yet.   I’m preaching a healthy dose of patients.  
    • How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas). 
    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
