.......and that aspect worked....because nobody played anybody they really valued (except the Bears..who played Mitch Trubisky?)

...but this cut down freanzy..might be something GMs want to change going forward.

Its almost like draft day

The one way to get around it is to expand the regular seasons rosters

Didn't there used to be 3 cuts?

 

..I think it changes because how can a cut player show what he can do to a new team unless he gets one game to play for them.

 

It may all change if they cut the number of pre-season games, though

 

I think there used to be 3 cuts when you and I were kids and the pre-season was 6 games and not 4.

 

But I believe aht since the pre-season went to 5 games (whenever that was)  the cuts have been two until this year.

He's a long term project

I watched Brissett in the last NE game. He had a very big day. Led a last minute drive to a field goal that should have won the game.

In one play, he was Ben-like shaking off rushers to get a pass off. The commentators all marveled at how he did it. With our OL, that may come in handy. I'm sorry to lose Dorsett but we will be happy with Brisett.

but we have Andrew.....he's a backup at best.

Best case scenario..he never plays

Both McGill and Barry being waived means that we are probably going to be signing someone in free agency directly to our 53,not necessarily to the defensive tackle position. There is probably a good chance that TJ Ward could be signed to our 53, I'm speculating.

He's the back-up when Andrew is playing.

 

But when Anderw is not playing,  he's likely the starter.       He started for NE last year.     And did so on short notice and little practice. 

 

That's what we will do with him,  possibly as soon as week 1,  but no later than wk 2.

I think there is no chance that Jacoby Brissett...who isn't even here yet..and knows none our players, coaches  or play concepts....starts Sept. 17

Wow..6 pre-season games.....That was a long walk down a dark, dusty road

Question:

 

Would you agree that we likely could've traded Dorsett for a 4th or 5th round draft pick?     I don't think that's unreasonable.

 

Why would we trade him then and get no draft pick in return for a QB that you don't think will start in two weeks?

 

I think we traded for him because we want and need him as soon as we can get him up to speed.      That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Follow-up....

 

Remember what Chud did with Freeman and Lindley with roughly 3-4 days on the last week of the 2015 season.    We won the last game of the seaso with those two.

 

He can do more with Brissett.

Ballard is no different, he leans towards the guys he brought in.

Who are you thinking about? TJ Bray and Clark reported to be on the bubble are here none are his guys. He cut Spence Howard JoJo bubble guys he brought in. I don't see a lot of surprises besides McGill but he couldn't get on the field before this year There's something there we don't get to see

I do..

....I just think those are other players..and it was the end of the year when everybody knew their assigments.

Hey, Tolzien could get crushed in the first quarter next Sunday and the Brissett is in there...immediately

It could happen....

      Colts Draft Day Colts Updates/Rumors/Discussion

      There is still a few decent players that we could pick in the secondary or linebackers. We have quite a few picks coming up to add good depth and camp competition.

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      By ShuteAt168 · Posted

      I agree with this and well said. It’s not too much to ask that he appear interested and engaged in the interview process. He turned teams off and it cost him. Regarding Ballard, I am clearly in the minority but I think it’s a bad look and unprofessional for an NFL executive, the man representing the franchise, to drop curse words and then half-way apologize and then keep swearing as if he just couldn’t control it. Also, Ballard doesn’t really know Mitchell, he hasn’t spent enough time with him over any lengthy period to where he can know he’s a “good kid.” I am really excited for the pick and we were fired up at my house when Mitchell’s name was called. I just think the Ballard stuff was embarrassing and nothing but theater.

      It's clear and obvious. He said it plainly. The way the fans/media perceive the need at corner is very different from the way the Colts perceive the need at corner.

      I had Goncalves in my mock, in the 4th round. Basically in range. I like the pick, I assume his foot is fine, he said as much, and he worked out at his pro day. Big dude, nice feet, good technique in pass pro, can get stronger to improve in the run game, technically sound for the most part.    I wanted two things on offense this offseason: 1) A dynamic pass catcher, and 2) Depth/competition on the OL, specifically a swing tackle/guard. I was hoping for a veteran OL in addition to a draft pick, but we re-signed Pinter, so I guess we can count that. And as a bonus, Drew Ogletree is back on the roster, after I thought he was for sure going to be gone.   IMO, the offense is ready to roll. I was worried that Plan A at WR -- get a guy in the second round -- was shot after the way Thursday night went. Plan A wound up working out nicely.   The secondary could still use some work. I would have liked to see an athletic boost with a boundary corner, but this wasn't really the draft for that. And while I'm not sure what will happen after the draft, there are a ton of veteran corners and safeties still available. Including Justin Simmons and Quandre Diggs, whom everyone wanted on Day 1 on free agency. So maybe we still add some veteran help.   We also have one 4th round pick, and then three 5th rounders all bunched up from #142 to #155. Ballard already traded out of the 6th, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him either trade out of the 7th, or trade down in a swap that also moves him up higher from one of the 4th/5th round picks. He might want to keep a pick in the 7th just to grab their favorite UDFA target...

      I am guessing it was athletic comparison.
