Yeah. Well, he was undrafted FA who has turned himself into an All-pro and pro-bowler. At least on work ethic, he seems to be hitting the mark. 

Knowing this makes me want him in a colts uniform even more.  Brings to mind another UDFA o-lineman we had for a number of years, that worked out pretty well.  Hint:  He knew the back of Peyton’s hand like the back of his own hand:thmup:

He seems like the Chris Ballard prototype for a big FA signing. 

I agree he will probably be targeted. I expect Ballard to have to make a few changes especially with the offense and defense likely to see significant coaching changes. Personnel will obviously have to change up. I'd expect some guys like these that may be familiar with these systems to at least be targeted or possible guys we discuss bringing in.

 

 

ILB Hitchens

CB Butler

T Fleming/Waddle (depth)

WR Amendola

RB Lewis

RB Blount

 

Norwell will likely be a big name we target....we've been talking about Allen Robinson to play opposite TY but with McDaniels coming in it seems they prefer the smaller/shiftier/value quickness more than speed. If we went big name that might lend more to Landry...but there are a lot of interesting players out there...who knows maybe a smaller name like Taylor Gabriel or someone Ballard is familiar with like Albert Wilson or De'anthony Thomas. Having some of those familiar guys in camp that we can trust to "do your job" will allow us to be aggressive in the draft and not feel cornered to reach on a position of need. Lots of time but free agency will be interesting this year for sure.

Reading the interview with Chris Ballard just solidified my confidence in him to take this team forward.  The man works tirelessly and also works closely with his scouting staff.  I just feel like he is a real football man and knows what will be successful for the long term.  He's not just going to plug holes with short term big money FA players.

 

He wants a unified locker room, players who work hard and competition at every position.  He's creating a work ethic and desire in his players to succeed.

 

Our future is very bright!!

      The criteria is the Colts want to keep you but you’re a fringe player. It all comes down to how much the Colts like your nephew. He could surprise and if he does they may not want to put him on the PS out of fear of losing him to another team. The good thing is the Colts love their oline players, and will keep lower level draft picks/UDFA lineman over other positions. There’s quite a few later round guys the colts have kept on that have shown to be pretty good level guys with bright futures.    there’s not really any criteria for being signed to the PS other than they want to see how much better a guy can get over there.    most of the time, an older guy is either ineligible for the PS because of how many games he’s started, or it’s not worth it because you see what the guy is over what he can become (as he’s been in the league a while).   odds are the younger guy gets signed to the ps over the older guy.

      Remember all those years we watched Mannings fluttering passes downfield? 100 Int's even over his 1st 5 seasons. Not counting many Playoff interception disasters.  No flutters for AR ! Just less closing time for the D.

      I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.

      Practice Squad

      I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.

      I thought he said he wasn’t going to play BB?  How old is that video?
