Jack Mewhort

Jack Mewhort was just currently on Sirius XM's NFL Radio interviewed by Bruce Murray and Brady Quinn.

 

He says he's feeling great, getting stronger and stronger and very much looking forward to playing this coming year, whether that be with the Colts or another team.  He's "not at all afraid to do whatever is asked of him, as far as working out or whatever" to demonstrate his health.  He has "a lot of faith in myself and I'm ready to rock and roll!"

 

When asked if overtures have been made by the Colts to re-sign with them, he said he keeps his nose out of all that, trusting his agent and that with the Combine having just ended and Free Agency only a week away, that he expects to hear some things over the next few days.

 

He speaks really highly of Chris Ballard and the decisions he's been making for the Colts.

 

He says Andrew Luck is brilliant and the definition of "professional" and that he's excited for Luck, as a friend, for him to get back this coming year, healthy.

 

He says he'd love to be part of the equation that turns this thing around for the Colts and that he thinks they're building a really good roster and will be back on top soon enough.

 

......................................

 

Just thought you guys would appreciate this summary of his interview.  :)

 

If he is indeed back to feeling terrific physically / meaning he is healthy, then I hope the Colts are able to re-sign him

Thanks for the update!

 

As for the portion in bold: I take this to mean that the Colts have not reached out to him. He would know if they had reached out to his agent. He stated that he expects to hear something within the next few upcoming days. This could indicate that the Colts do not plan on re-signing him, as it currently stands.

 

Of course, they could reach out to his agent but if they haven't yet, it's not likely they will within the next few days.

I hope Mewhort is 100% healthy and enjoys a nice NFL career... but given the revolving door we've had at G for ages... I would really prefer we just go full bore after Norwell AND draft Nelson.

 

If we're gonna fix the interior OL it's time we stop nickel and diming it. 

 

When healthy Mewhort was solid.... but IMO we need to start fresh.

He keeps his nose out of that and just trusts his agent.

 

So he doesn't even ask the man if his current team wants to bring him back or not.  

 

You would think there might be some things a guy might want to know.  

 

I think he knows exactly what is going on.

 

Reading between the lines - I think this means he's heard nothing from the Colts.

That is exactly what it means.

I'm sorry only Colt I think that needs a 1 year deal is Moncrief. Mewhort needs at least 3 year deal with it front loaded on guarantees, but with health incentives. He's already a proven he can do the job and from what i can tell he's done more than we've asked from him.

From what I have heard (from a variety of reliable sources that cover our beloved Colts), Moncrief is 99.9% gone.

 

I believe JMV alluded to the fact that Ballard was very, very disappointed with how Moncrief played in a contract year, irrespective of the QB circumstances.  The sentiment on Moncrief is that he is a "fraud" in the sense that he has all the measurables you'd want from an NFL WR, but is sorely lacking in the "game" and production categories.

 

I mean, Moncrief lost snaps to Aiken.  -=Shudders=-

I agree wholeheartedly, the dude is a diva. I just here about prove it deals for Mewhort, and the dude is total opposite of Moncrief. Why find someone to replace Mewhort when you already have him. He works, and a true professional. He is 100% a shoe guy.

Yep, I'm with ya.  Agree 100% on Mewhort.  At the right price, he is at least giving everything he has.

I always thought Mewhort was overrated by this forum, but lets not forget his recent performances have been hindered by injury and recovery.

 

If CB has no intent of reaching out to him, then he must have a plan to reach out to other FAs or draft, because JM is worthy of kicking the tires with a reasonable contract.....if he's truly healthy.

Sounds like he's campaigning for a contract. You can't blame him, hard to equal a nfl salary with a real job in the real world.

Good luck to him.

Unfortunately you have that right...injury plagued OL's career cut short. Fits in with all of the could have been great Colts of the past. :Cry:

Tarik Glenn, Rick DeMullig, Jake Scott, Anthony Castonza, Jeff Saturday, those are horseshoe guys. They were injured all the time, nope! Your history is too current. If you base a shoe guy on injuries, not sure you know what it means to be a shoe guy.

With the cap space and high pics, I will be very disappointed if the Colts do not open the 2018 season with 5 very good O-linemen who do not have a history of lingering debilitating injuries .

You don't need an All-pro o-line to field a good O-Line. If we sign a good guard, the o-line will be decent. Also I highly doubt that all 5 olinemen will be very good.

Idk what you guys are talking about because Mewhort at LG was definitely a solid part of our O-line most of the time. That being said, I wouldn't break the bank on him but he is definitely worth starting Guard money in the NFL. He would be at minimum very quality depth whether we go after a high-level free agent or a high draft pick at guard.

Of course...yes I was talking more recent history we seem snake bitten when it comes to the OL health. We did have a nice run in the 2000s.

"very good" does not mean "all pro". It is very possible for an NFL team to have 5 very good linemen, and in 2018 one of those teams needs to be the Colts.

Maybe Colts and Mewhort's agent talked, and the numbers desired from each side aren't even close.

I don't believe that.  If that is the case why wouldn't Mewhort said as much?  Plus I don't believe Mewhort has any leverage and he knows that.  If there was dialog it would be on the team's terms.

 

It's far more likely that the team has not approached him or his agent.

If we get Norwell and resign Mewhort. I would like to see.

AC-LT

Good-LG

Kelley-C

Norwell-RG

Mewhort-RT

Unless we can acquire a decent OT in draft or FA, I would than kick Mewhort back to LG. Boyd, Haeg, and Good is good rotation. 

Haeg needs to get stronger, and Boyd, and Good need more experience.

    • Good players make plays when the game is on the line. Like Reggie Wayne in the green bay game. One thing is for sure you don't  target a guy that has down next to nothing  all game when the game is on the line. That be as silly as when Taylor averages 8 yards a carry all game and with the game on the line and it being 3rd and 2 you substitute  him for a back who got stuffed at the line of scrimmage  all game. Every team has a go to guy. Brady had gronk and edleman Brees had Michael Thomas and Jimmy Graham. Stroud most dependable  target is nico Collins ect
    • It really was pretty wild to see the difference in AR to Flacco as it pertains to processing in live time.  They really are pretty much the opposite QB at this point in their careers, Like some have mentioned- AR is just unrefined in everything he does.  His reads are too quick, his footwork is too unsettled and he looks like a wild stallion in that pocket.  When he makes big plays it usually isn't because of the aforementioned traits, its because he can release the ball quick with superior velocity.    In Flacco you have a guy who makes perfectly settled, on rhythm reads, has solid and quiet footwork in the pocket and looks calm and collected out there. When he makes big plays its because of his veteran decision making within the construct of the offense. However, if that breaks down his chances of overcoming it are very slim. He won't run for the first down and his 40 year old arm (while still good and lightyears better than a 37 year old Matt Ryan's) is limited.  You could see the difference in his arm strength on the deep ball.  His float like a balloon and Richardson's are absolute ropes.    In theory, Flacco should be the perfect QB from a skillset standpoint to mentor Anthony on his weaknesses, and those seem to be Flacco's strengths.    Ultimately though, for every pass Joe has to throw in a game means less chance of Anthony developing.  He needs to be on the field.  Having Joe is nice if you are contending or in a playoff hunt, but having Joe on the field for meaningful time in week 4 was NOT and is NOT in the blueprint of what we are building.    A lot of people are complaining ad nauseum about Anthony and if he will ever get there- but nobody denies the upside that we've seen. I think the first step in his development is being able to hone down on what he needs to work on the most and I really think that stage is almost complete.  He will grind, and by week 8 lets have another conversation.  Injuries aside of course.  The kid needs to also learn the physicality of the NFL and had no time to sink his teeth into S and C last offseason.     
    • Who would have thought Mason Rudolph would come in for Will Levis? If Will Levis plays the whole game, Dolphins win, IMO.   Plus, Seahawks vs Lions, what a barn burner. Seahawks' D was minus 5 starters with 3 along the DL, the Lions ran on them like crazy, and Goff doesn't get touched, the kind of game he excels when pressure doesn't get to him. Seahawks did fight hard, was pleasantly surprised by Geno Smith, he has been a late bloomer, just like Sam Darnold now.
    • My main concerns with Richardson are his accuracy problems and his injury history. His big play ability relies on his legs a lot which in turn leaves him open to getting hurt. If he doesn’t use his legs as much then he needs to get a lot more accurate. Hopefully he’s able to make it through the entire season.
    • What I need to do is stop watching. I have a superstition, bear with me, transcends sports.   Chiefs' Eagles SB, I was so tense because I was rooting for Mahomes, so I stopped watching at half time when the Eagles were leading 24-14, the rest is history. 2022 AFCCG, Sneed goes down within the first few plays, their star CB vs the Bengals with Burrow boasting a 3-0 record vs Mahomes. It did not bode well for the Chiefs, so I stopped watching. Learned they won by a FG.   Chiefs' 49ers SB, I stopped watching when the 49ers went up 10-0, once I knew the result, I watched highlights.   I love Novak Djokovic, he was down a break and a set versus Carlos Alcaraz in Cincinnati. I stopped watching, he came back, won that set in a tie break and then won the whole match. 2018 Wimbledon semis vs Nadal, he goes down 1 sets to 2, I stopped watching, Djokovic comes back and wins.   Bengals game versus the Chiefs this year, the Bengals were ahead before that defensive TD happened, Burrow had just thrown a TD on 4th down. Stopped watching. Chiefs win by 1.    Yesterday, Flacco barely gets out of the pocket to avoid intentional grounding, Steelers were down 10-17, they were making a comeback. I stopped watching. The Colts won. If I have a favorite in the game, I have to stop cheering for them at some point and stop watching, that is my superstition.    I know what I need to do for the Jaguars game, let us hope it works.
