We have always had good DB's, excluding this year, I can see why people are interested.

That leads me to think it's more of having good players than having good coaches. Lezlie Fraser was our DB coach a few years ago, but he hasn't done so great as a head coach. On the other hand, a guy like Bethea has been solid regardless of who has been coaching him

Yea, we have had good, talented players throughout the years. I wonder why we would let most go.

Marlin Jackson had tons of talent, but was injury prone. Same thing for Bob Sanders. Kelvin Hayden was a solid player, but he was getting paid way more than he deserved. Bethea got paid and he deserves it. Powers has been playing solid, but he is getting injured lots lately. Same thing goes for Bullitt. That's why I think our 2nd and 3rd round picks should be SS and CB

Yea, SS and CB are the biggest need I see. Then get the best DT. Maybe a WR in the fifth. Then I don't know.

But Frazier was a good DC in MN with the mountain of William in the middle of that D. Perhaps the Colts can make a coach trade Williams for Singletary.

It's never a good thing to hire your friends. Caldwell hired his friends in Coyer and Rychleski and now they aren't with the team anymore. Hire someone with a solid track record, don't just hire your buddies

True that. That is the first time I have ever heard of Alan Williams being considered for anything.

      Kwitty and Rigoberto

      My recollection is Rigoberto was fine as the season progressed.

      Kwitty and Rigoberto

      By AustexColt · Posted

      Ballard's decision on Kwitty and Rigoberto extension will be seriously questioned this season.  Kwitty... its show time with Latu and Ekuban giving him plenty of breather. Time to prove himself as deserving his extension. Rigoberto... last year he was not his best.  Early games he seems to underperform and that makes me concerned.  I think his injury has reduced his leg strength. I hope he gets some serious competition at camp.

      I had back surgery 3-4 years ago. Pain never leaves. Have to deal with it, don't handicap your team though.   If you can't play through it, go sit on the bench.   To play the last 9:30 of the game and have 0 shot attempts, 3 turnovers cost us the game. We were already playing 5 vs 8. So that took us to 4 vs 8.    That's just the offensive part of it, he already is a liability on the defensive end most nights, as it is. Im usually calling for Offensive/defensive substitutions late in games when able to.     Being used as a decoy isn't the answer. It hurt the team.   Who's fault that is(Carlisle, or Haliburton)? IDK, but it cost us game 1, and at the end of the day, could come back and cost us the series.     If he has a major back issues at 24, that's a bigger issue.   @John Waylon Post came through while posting, think a lot here ties to your post.       Side Bar:    I wish I could say be doesn't play like this too often, but he frustrates me a lot. So I'm not accepting his injury excuse here, everyone is dealing with something. Either play or don't. To many other occurrences of play like this to dismiss it as a pattern.     I've posted about it here a few times.

      No he looks bulky. He's a lot bigger then last season.

      Update on AR

      By DattMavis · Posted

      It's crazy to think AR is still growing into his body, but he is. Injuries like this require you to have more intentional workouts, and to focus on building muscle the right way. He will likely come back stronger than before the injury. I'm mostly hoping they've trained him to avoid hits and to not participate in potentially dangerous activities, like snowboarding. 😅🥲   I'm calling it now so it's out there; (barring injury) AR makes the Pro Bowl this season.
