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.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      Yes, yes he did. If you scroll back to old Pagano post you’ll see how much blame he got. I definitely hold Pagano is regards to letting Luck down on the offensive side of the ball. I also see the Houston Texans inevitably going down the same path.   D’joun Smith is who you’re thinking of.   Grigson is looked at as an overall bust and a terrible drafter so naturally the blame will be more widely accepted. There is no doubt things will be heating up under Ballards seat if anything less then winning the division is obtained this year. The QB position has been his Achilles heel. If Richardson is healthy this season I believe his roster will be very heavily evaluated with no excuses this year.
