With Turay's surprising performance this made Basham expendable. i do believe he can revert back to the PS.

Basham getting the ax wasnt really surprising with the way Turay has been performing. I am hoping that we get to see some work from Lenzy and Turbo tonight, I really like Lenzy. Im kinda Curious on the Skai Moore elevation. Does this mean that Leonard isn't playing tonight? I pray he is we need that man on the field.

Releasing Basham and Muhammed makes me believe that Tyquan Lewis could be back sooner than later.

What's the IR rules on that? I thought he couldn't come back till like week 9 or so.

[CR91]

Not surprising. Basham hardly played the first 4 games and Turay is progressing much faster then him. Still think he can be a good rotation rusher.

Anybody know who's the RT tonight?

I am not sure. Need to look it up.

Braden Smith

I'm surprised they gave up on a 3rd. rounder so quick.  Especially since we switched to the 4-3.  I'm not sure he clears waivers.

Hopefully so. This DL rotation with the additions of Lewis and Ridgeway will be exciting to watch!

...and do we have a backup to Smith?

I think Carroll Phillips showed them enough burst to keep working with him instead of Basham.  Plus the D Line  coach was Phillips college coach.

If you’re worried if you’ve heard of him, don’t worry, you haven’t. 

[Calmack]

Bout time. Basham was wasted space. 

[krunk]

They might put Basham on the PS.

[Coffeedrinker]

Clark will probably start at RT tonight.  Smith will be the backup.

 

Releasing Muhammad is a bit surprising... he played 71% of the defensive snaps in week 3.  I guess with Autry coming back, he's a bit more expendable.

[Fisticuffs111]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Leonard plays because he’s been adamant that he would, but I’m thinking they’ll play it cautious with him. Possibly even limit his PT. Makes sense to call up Skai, and definitely makes sense to call up Pipkins.

And if Lewis comes back later on that's another guy who can play DE.

CD, so Costanzo back at LT? 

[dodsworth]

The way they are running the offense, we need another

"Between the tackles" RB besides Wilkins and Turbin

fits that bill.

 

We only need one scat back in the RB stable and Mack is it

if he can ever stay healthy. Move Hines to the slot when 

everyone gets healthy.

He must be  on it for at least 8 weeks

I like the idea of Phillips and Turay together.  Gives us a lot better speed off the edge.

Phillips kind of reminded me a little of Whitney Mercilus just on the eye test.

[krunk]

Been wanting to see Pipkins play a little bit. He's tough.

I’m a little surprised too. I thought he did some good things out there

[Nesjan3]

i wouldn't say the Basham era is over yet... he will likely go to P.S and be elevated again sometime in the season... just like Skai Moore

  Anybody know about Castonzo or Leonard?

[icf]

If your plan is to not sign any significant FA's and you want to build via the draft -- it would help if you draft a whole lot better than the Colts did in 2017....not much to show for their 2nd/3rd/4th rd picks.

There’s not much to show for them TODAY.    The jury is still out on Wilson, and Basham (I’m expecting him in the PS next week) and Mack and Stewart.

They may still contribute to the team.

 

As for Free Agency, Ballard has already said that he will be investing in FA in the future.   I’m not expecting it to happen in 19, but definitely in 20 and beyond.   The lack of free agent signing is a temporary thing, not permanent.

you are not alone with this opinion...

I'm not sure this means they won't bring him back..... if someone else grabs him, then Muhammad is still going to be there most likely, if needed

There's a lot to evaluate besides what we see in game. Ballard don't play that's for sure. He's been saying your spot is never safe. Either you perform or you're gone. I like it actually.
