There must be a glitch because there are 30 and counting DL threads just posted

No, it probably lagged for OP and he must've spammed the hell out of submit because of the lag. That's what happens when you're trying to make sure you're the first one to post something.

 

There's absolutely no reason you'd need to hit submit that many times. If it doesn't work after 2, assume it's posted and refresh. Worst case scenario you have to paste the link and post it again......instead of taking almost 3 pages with one spammed post....

There's quite a few player releases going on, lots of rumors about FA's, which could mean a ton of new threads soon.

Just a suggestion but it might be a good idea for someone to start/sticky a new thread for all the new info/tweets/rumors and just the general discussion today.

Gross. He will have a market...so the Colts will be bidding against other teams to buy high on an aging scat back with multiple knee surgeries coming from a system that inflates scat backs. I would rather save the money and give Vereen the vet min.

I wouldnt be thrilled with Hyde either but he makes more sense than Lewis if we're going the FA route.

He does, but wouldn't he be more expensive? Reich and Ballard may also want to have a RBBC than spend big money on Hyde.

I don’t see him as a complementary Back to Mack

That's where he doesn't make sense to me either. I could see Hyde as a good pairing skillset-wise, but I still don't care for him as a RB..

He's not a "scat back" per se.......  http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2017/11/dion_lewis_earns_praise_from_b.html

 

plays about 10 pounds lighter than MJD used to....

He can’t be happy with being a low priority FA for the Pats.  But that is a good point - his beef wouldn’t be as strong as Butler’s...

 

I think with all the knee issues he's had going back to college and pro's, he's happy that he's had AND will again have a job in the nfl.

There's no reason, imo, that Mack can't be the receving back that Lewis is with experience and coaching. He can catch. And he has more Big Play ability too.

Too many think Lewis is just a receiving back, scat back, etc...... the dude can run it up the middle too, he is a well rounded back, and would be a cheap enough starter for a RBBC approach like Philly used.   He led the league in yards after contact per attempt by week 15 this past season

I've always liked Lewis. He impressed me in his freshman season at Pitt. I'm sure his multiple knee injuries slowed him down but he's still a decent back. 

But I think Mack can be everything Lewis is and more.

    • I saw the media tried to make it out that the Celtics had an easy path to the finals. They went 64-18 during the season and 16-3 in the postseason. That is absolute domination from start to finish. Awesome to see Indiana native Brad Stevens get his first ring!!  I hope the Pacers close the gap and look forward to battling the Celtics the next few years. 
    • I do agree about the great OL and play caller.    The DL will come down whether Latu is a legit stud pass rusher right away. JT has been a great RB, but not the past two years. The receivers are solid, but seems like most teams have good-great WR groups anymore.    This feels like a "if everything goes right" kind of thing. But it's the offseason.  
    • Sure. It's possible that teams could have had boards that included many WRs as R1 grades, including Mitchell, and they just chose one over him. I worded that weirdly, but what I meant was that teams that didn't have him as a R1 player, it was for reasons beyond the rumors in this article.   But the "surefire first rounder until he was done dirty by rumors" doesn't track.    We know that AD ranked poorly in some advanced metrics (like yards per route run) that typically operate as requisites for successful NFL WRs (outliers are rare). We know what some team scouts had concerns from his Combine drills. And we know what happened at the draft.    And those comments that McGinn published weren't even his thoughts...they too were from NFL scouts.   Seems like the easiest and logical explanation is that teams had legit concerns (for multiple reasons) about AD and that, not rumors, is what pushed him down in the draft. But Destin seems to be spinning a couple of those concerns (that Ballard had addressed) to drive his narrative.
    • Thanks @TheNewGuy   You’re right, nothing new to us in the article.  But it’s nice to read anything from the national media about the Colts.     I for one love it that most of the talking heads rarely mention the Colts.  But I’m guessing that media coverage will increase exponentially as the season goes on!   (However, I was also very excited when we got Matt Ryan.  So I may not be the best prognosticator…)
    • But… they didn’t.  Banner #18!! This team has the potential to dominate for the next 4-5 seasons.  We will see what happens, but this was one of the best NBA teams of all time.
