First rumor

[gnet550]

Incarcerated Bob tweeted a link about some rumors...one stated if the price is decent on Iupati that the Colts will go for him....not much news....probably no substance coming from him, but it's out there.

[COLTS449]

I've been saying we'd go after him. We've waited long enough. Its time to land a stud offensive lineman. Iupati alone would improve the line drastically. Didn't Bob predict the Jones signing last year? I cant remember.

[gnet550]

Not sure...he hits on a lot of them....but he misses his fair share

[NewColtsFan]

Remember,  the rumor is "if the price is reasonable..."

 

Free agent prices are rarely reasonable....   especially if you're the top at your spot.

 

I think guard Andy Levitre left Buffalo to go to Tennessee for 5/40.     If Iupoti tries for that and doesn't budge,  I don't think we go shopping down that isle...

Incarcerated Bob has a documented history of creating rumors himself to keep his name circulating and getting points in the sports media world. You should not go by anything he says.

Incarcerated Bob is the lowest of low sports intel and TBQH... a swindler.

One more opinion, but about Lupati, not incarcerated Bob. Two years ago when Tennessee signed Buffalo G Levitre, they set a very high market price, one which Lupati will probably benefit greatly from. I too liked Levitre, and thought we should have gone after him considering how bad our line was 2 years ago. He has been a disaster for Tenn. and they are probably going to cut him considering the 8.6M cap hit he has. They will have a good bit of dead money, but his contract is structured so releasing him right now, and doing it as a June 1st cut makes sense.

 

I bring this up for two reasons. Lupati is going to be looking for the same kind of money in free agency. 8M for a guard is a lot. Last year I thought Lupati in FA this year would be great to go after. After this year, I don't feel quite the same. First off he had a bad year. Hey it happens, and overall he has been really good. The second thing though that worries me is in FA, you have to go after people that fit your scheme. This is where teams who spend big in FA make the mistake. FA are for teams who have a few holes to plug, and the players fit the scheme. I believe SF is a zone blocking run scheme, so would he fit her in Indy? I don't know. I like him overall, but after the year he had, SF's running scheme, and the money he will cost, I am on the fence. I believe the money could be spent in better places, but I still would not be upset if he came here. He would still be an upgrade I believe, possibly a huge upgrade. At what cost though. Just some thoughts to consider.

I think if we add another guard, running back and receiver our offense can be as good as any.

Defense needs a ton of new faces though..

Man free agency and the draft can't come soon enough..

[crazycolt1]

I wouldn't put too much into a rumor from Incarcerated Bob. I would have to hear or see the so called rumor somewhere else before I gave it any thought.

[gnet550]

That's why I said there is probably no substance there....however if Levitre were to be cut...maybe bring him in for cheap

If this rumor were true I doubt he would be cheap.

[CR91]

49ers run a similar scheme....lots of pulling, except they are successful at it

[Dustin]

Iupati is an awful pass blocker.

[CR91]

but he pulls with the best of them and thats how we run the ball

is thornton any better at pass blocking

[Dustin]

is thornton any better at pass blocking

Nope. But luckily there are more options than just those two.

[Dustin]

Pass blocking? Yeah.

[CR91]

Pass blocking? Yeah.

[Dustin]

not just pass blocking. overall

Id rather have one of those two than Iupati.

[HtownColt]

Where did this Marcel Dareus trade rumor come from that I saw in the twittersphere yesterday?

[CR91]

anyone would be an upgrade over thornton

[gnet550]

If we get any of the mentioned names....Iupati, Levitre(via a cut), Franklin, Carpenter....I'd be ecstatic

[pacolts56]

If we get any of the mentioned names....Iupati, Levitre(via a cut), Franklin, Carpenter....I'd be ecstatic

 

And the Saints are in salary cap hell......so OGs Jahri Evans or Ben Grubbs could be cut.

 

We just gotta watch the price tag on any of these guys.

What's 'Incarcerated Bob' in for??

[crazycolt1]

What's 'Incarcerated Bob' in for??

I guess it's just one of the nick names he gave himself along with quite a few other names.

[gnet550]

Grubbs of Evans would be great too...just be nice to have an OG that someone outside the Colts organization actually knows his name lol

[rock8591]

What about Michael Oher to play GUARD? Was just released from a deal, might be able to get him for like 2 year, 4 mill.

[gnet550]

Might be an option....if feel like a proven guard is better than a transition player though

[21isSuperman]

Can't you say this about any free agent?  If the price is decent, the Colts will pursue Revis/Maclin/Iupati/Orlando Franklin/any free agent possible?  "If the price is decent" is the key qualifier; I think any team would pursue any free agent if the price is decent.  Of course, "decent" is subjective

[chrisfarley]

it's real but more of a columists "teams should go after this guy" type of thing.

[NewColtsFan]

It was a recommendation made by a writer for the website, Football Outsiders.   ESPN picked it up...   now others are picking it up...  that's how rumors get spread....

 

It's just from the imagination of one writer.....      that's all.    No worries....

[SouthernCal]

we need some good guard play on our line. if this guy asks for the right price, then go ahead

[gnet550]

Ya, I feel like if we get a G we could be solid up front.
