I trust Polians analysis, however, I do question his take on our talent.  He said we were bottom third in talent.  Now, I define talent as your ceiling even before you hit it.  For example,  Turay has talent but just hasn’t realized it yet.  All of our talent is young.  Is Polian saying that if our young guys develop this year,  then our talent level increases or is he saying we are bottom third regardless and just need another draft or 2?

Probably a combination of both.  I look forward to next year.  I think back to what Dungy said back as coach “The biggest development in a players career is going from year one to year two.”

Polian was just making a point that, in order to consistently win, you need elite talent. Dallas Clark was a game-breaking TE. Doyle, is not, fumbles the ball and we lose. Reggie Wayne could do everything. TY has limitations, and is not a good red zone threat. If Colts had top shelf WR and TE, we are easily 3-0

I think he mostly meant on offense. He gushed more than once about the guys we have on D and the coaching. Didn't have much to say  positive about the offensive personnel other than Nelson, Luck, and Hilton.

Don't remember if he mentioned Castonzo, the last remaining Colt he drafted.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….

      I believe he knows that offense is more important than defense.  And that an offense that controls the ball keeps our average defense rested.   I really can’t answer your second sentence until camp.  So let me ask you, as of right now isn’t Ballard saying there are no FA DBs (depth or starting safety) that we can afford who are better than what we have?   If he doesn’t bring someone is, that’s his stance, right?   The logic is that our O will put up enough that we can get by with an average D, IMHO.   Like I said, I’m being Mr. Obvious.

      The Jets completely shut down CJ Stroud last year. Their defense is elite, and they had 3 of the top CBs in the league. Pass rush and secondary is how you shut him down. We have the former. I'll be curious how the latter does for us this year.

      Im trying to make sure I understand you.      You don’t think Ballard is actually trying to build only an average defense, do you?      He’s trying to build as good of a defense as he can.    Are we on the same page, or am I misunderstanding you?
