So we basically have 2 maybe 3 long term starters on the defense.  Everyone else needs to be replaced.  

There is no way this article is what broke that news to you...

 

We've known this...

I think if he stays healthy that Geathers will have a big year.

I agree-- but tend to think the secondary's performance is going to be influenced heavily by how we address our LB woes.  Right now we don't have a single legitimate pass-rusher on this team (Walden had his best 'sack year' with 11 last season -- in his other 8 years, he had 6 sacks once, 3 sacks five times, and 0 sacks once -- he isn't a guy who's putting fear into opposing offenses, nor do I expect him to improve on last year's total at age 32).

 

If we can't rush the opposing QB, and if we can't contain the RB with our front 7, our back 4 is going to have a difficult time.  I think with Vontae we have a stud, with Geathers we have a very good player (if healthy) and then we have some question marks elsewhere (will Green improve and be our FS? do we bring back Adams, and does his production not fall off at age 36? Is Butler a slot CB or a FS if Adams isn't back and Green doesn't vastly improve? Can Patrick Robinson stay healthy? Can any of the other players in our secondary be effective consistently? Do we go after talent in FA or draft?).

I disagree, the Colts have

Davis

Geathers

E.Jackson

H.Anderson

K.Langford.

 

If they resign Walden that is 6.  Then you have players like Parry, Kerr, McGill who are all very good rotational guys.  And it's too early to make te call on guys like Green, Morrison, R.Melvin (who started playing pretty well the last few games of the season, P. Robinson.  The Colts need some D help, but it's not like they need to replace 20-25 guys on D

I believe Hassan Ridgeway showed promise near the end of the year and may take that 2nd year leap that Dungy always spoke of.

You cannot crown Edwin Jackson. He's not bad but he's nothing special . A rotational guy at best. I know we're desperate for answers at LB but let's let Ballard build up the team with "good" players instead of trying to overrate average rotational guys. Those days are over I think.

Fair enough.  I just like what I saw from him and I think he can be a long term starter in the NFL.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      There won’t be anyone to sign if they want that long. But they will probably see what happens in OTA. Personally I don’t think colts have a time line. They are on diggs and Simmons schedule. It’s up to them when they feel like signing.

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      By Two_pound · Posted

      I watched the Kansas St.-Texas game from 2023 today and Mitchell was outstanding in that one. One long td(47 yards), another long reception(37 yards) and he had excellent blocks on CJ Baxters' 47 yard td run and two other excellent blocks that sprung runners for huge gains. If you had only watched the first half of that game while scouting Mitchell and saw nothing else you would have taken him in the top 10. That is how impressive he was in the first half of that game. I'll add this also, when watching Texas games from last year watch Mitchell BLOCK. I'm no scout and I don't watch 100's of hours of film, but from what I've seen of him at Georgia and his one year at Texas I don't know how he fell to number 52. Welcome to the Colts Adonai, I hope you burn up the league this year! Go Colts!

      I was referring muscle-wise not his actual weight. Compared to the start of the season where imo he looked smaller, I think he added a lot more muscle

      But he carries it well.   Honestly I doubt he’s that big now….   One would think he’s in good shape now that he’s being active for the first time in roughly 6+ months.     Im just thinking out loud….

      CJ also made comments about being glad he wasn't drafted by Indy and how Indy is boring. I know he has the nice "humble beginnings" story, but he's making himself feel like a villain early. You don't want to annoy people that might be your future coworkers or employers. It's a bad look.
