I don't get the big deal with Tolzein to be honest. Morris outperformed him in the preseason. Unless he does more behind the scenes than we see, why wouldn't the Colts stick with Morris instead? I know it's an argument about backup QB's but if we learned anything from last year, backups can be pretty darn valuable lol

Morris has never seen a regular season game.   I'm guessing that's the biggest issue.

True. That's a good point. I actually didn't take that into consideration. But looking at his in-game stats, they are horrible lol. His birthday is also tomorrow according to google. Can't cut a guy before his birthday right?

pure bull Doug. And we should keep in his place a slow veteran tight end who can't stick with any team? That's exactly who Chase Coffman is. I dont see a line of suitors beating down his door Doug. We all know what Chase Coffman is. You'll see his name on the roster cuts tommorow guaranteed. We've spent 2 years developing Swoope from the ground up and he is making plays in every game we've had this year. And you're saying to us now the next logical step in return for his production is to cut him so that we can keep an even slower and older version of Coby Fleener? Nobody is running to put Coffman on their 53. Swoope will be on the Colts 53 you can book that.

No Krunk,  Swoope is the guy who is smaller and slower, and gets tackled about as easily as Fleener.  Coffman made some tough catches and broke some tackles this pre-season.

 

Swoope hasn't even been good enough to get far enough to get bounced by another team.

 

And yes, Swoope will make the team and Coffman won't.

Let me guess....fans didn't like Fleener because he's white?

No.  That's racist.  But its okay to love DA and Swoope because they're black.  That is legal.

 

And many do.  So its not racist to choose the one you love over the one you don't.

 

Now, hopefully, you get it.

I think people were just happy he could actually play as demonstrated in the preseason.  I don't think they are anti Coffman.  I'm not.  I like both of them.  

Yeah, I'm not arguing who should be the third TE.  Kind of a pointless argument.

 

In my preference for offensive scheme, I don't like TEs like Fleener, Gates, Graham, even Dallas Clark...TEs known for their pass catching more than their blocking, tough catches, and breaking tackles to get a first down.

 

Swoope seems like he's in the mold of the speedy TE...not the tough TE, so I prefer Coffman over him....based only on what I've seen this preseason.

    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women. 
    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
