Nice little article about Langford and Jones stepping up and taking over leadership for the D. That was a concern for myself without Redding and not knowing where Mathis would be.

Right.  Someone wrote that practice was a little quieter without Redding.  I was hoping someone would step up and be the vocal leader.

 

My hope for the season is that teams won't run on us by the second quarter because they'll be playing catch up.

Hopefully this isn't the reason teams don't run on us but it may be the case with the offensive firepower

we have. Opponents getting stuffed at the line and abandoning the run would be an ideal scenario. :thmup:

This team should get it at least over the 50 every time with the weapons we have.  I would go into every game with and "Operation Steamroll" approach.  If I was coaching I would NEVER let up on the gas!!!!!!!!! :thmup:

Agreed.  I don't want us outscoring opponents the ONLY reason teams won't run on us.  But I want it to be one of the reasons.

 

I'll have to go back and see how many playoff games we lost in the high powered Manning era because our offense was shut down.  I realize that you can't 'outrun' the better teams.

"This isn’t our first rodeo." --Kendall Langford. 

 

I love that expression. It basically means that there is nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen & know how to counteract or neutralize it. Experience matters & I'm glad he's playing for us.

Quaries can be DOMINATE, but he could also be a self serving knucklehead that's out of the league after this camp. It really is all on him, he's not a boy that needs a mentor, he's a grown * man that needs to grow up..

23 isn't a grown * man

Typically a young person who needs to grow up also needs a mentor to show him the way.   

 

That happens in sports....   and that happens in the Real World as well........

 

Just sayin.......

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
