Defillipo - The perfect match for Indy as OC

I believe he would be a great hire here since he doesn’t have experience calling plays which he wouldn’t need to do with McDaniels here, but he is incredibly good with QB progression and would really help Luck and Brissett. Look what he’s done with both Wentz and Foles in Philly. 

 

Mcdaniels could then eventually transition playcalling duties to Defillipo and take the Bellichick route of overseeing game flow and having input on both the O and D.

 Bizzare. McDaniels has it covered.

Agreed. Offensively minded head coaches (especially ones that were known as excellent OCs) don't typically give up play-call duties considering its usually their "bread and butter." And to be honest, I don't know if I would want anyone other than Josh McDaniels calling plays. Man has showed that he can gameplan with the best of them and knows how to be a skilled play caller.

Because he will be the head coach?  His duties will be much more that just being the built in OC.  Putting too much on his plate may not be the best way to go either.

    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
    • We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.
    • Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.    
    • This is a great story on Mitchell. The part in here where Mitchell explains how much he appreciates Ballard going to bat for him was awesome.    
    • As the old saying goes, you want to draft guys who can get into the end zone, or guys who can knock down their QB.     I think the Colts are built that way.  With a lot less emphasis on guys who can cover their WRs.     Ball control, minimize their opportunities to score.
