I guess the injury forced retirement around here of Geathers was greatly exaggerated.

There’s still a high probability that he doesn’t play again. Let’s us not forget that Andrew Luck also returned to practice early last season. Still ended up on IR.

 

Hes still done IMO. His neck has become like Freeney’s back. But a neck injury ain’t nothing to play around with.

7) Karl Joseph, safety, Oakland Raiders

Coach Jon Gruden's scouting style has led to a divide in the Raiders' building, with general manager Reggie McKenzie's high-profile draft picks twisting in the wind. It seems premature to pull the plug on top 2017 pick Gareon Conley after the cornerback lost his job to Daryl Worley, but Joseph, a 2016 first-rounder, fell out of favor before the season even started. Attrition has left holes at safety in Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Indianapolis, among other locales.

I think this fella right here would fit what we do well at SS. Jordan Howard and Tevin Coleman make some sense as well at RB.

Even with Geathers practicing, I'd rather move on from him. Play Mitchell and hope he plays well. Geathers should be nothing more than depth at this point.

 

Good to see those other guys practicing. Bye week cannot come soon enough

 Can’t disagree more. Geathers is second in tackles this year.

Not exaggerated at all. 2 neck injuries definitely warrants some retirement talk

 

It’s life after football, being paralyzed probably isn’t a good way to spend that life after football

 

Didn’t we have someone retire from a neck injury? Delano Howell or something like that? 

 

Just us fans being worried. Hate to see something happen to the guy

Yeah I agree. The last 2 seasons his career has been hanging on by a thread.

Hope when he does walk away from the game he does it with no physical limitations in his life.

I've always been on the fence as to whether or not it's a good thing when a safety is 1 of the leading tacklers on a team. Does that mean that pass catchers are finding holes in our zone, & getting tackled 15 yards downfield, or does it mean he's in the box laying wood?

Well I watch, so I'm not sure where you're going with that, but with Geathers it's always been a mixture of the 2, & I've never quite felt comfortable with a safety being a leading tackler, I always felt like sooner or later that's going to work against us.

    • I have no idea how it will all shake out, but I have my popcorn ready.
    • There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.  
    • You can't measure what is "right" in a vacuum, or just by "feel". It takes so much more than that. The Colts front office performance is judged in relationship with all the other teams in the NFL. Just trying to objectively align the different perspectives of the scouting and coaching staff requires more sophisticated evaluation methods than what we saw in the video.   It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but I understand this is the way a lot of organizations work.
    • https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/4/1/24118330/i-pity-the-fool-mock-draft     Trade Colts 2nd round (440)   For   Packers pick 58 and 91 (456)   Packers select Zach Frazier C West Virginia 6'2 314lbs Logic: Packers replace Jon Meyers who gave up 5 sacks and had a pff grade of 55.8   Colts trade pick 58 and Kwity Paye   For   Saints Marshon Lattimore CB 27 years old and a conditional 2025 4th (depending on snaps could be 3rd) From Over the cap The team trading for Lattimore would take on his contract as is. They would have the decision to either pick up the option to defer the cap charges or to simply take all of the hit in 2024. Here is the cost on the cap if the team picks up the option in the contract:   Year Salary Cap Charge Dead Money 2024 $15,000,000 $12,000,000 2025 $18,000,000 $0 2026 $18,500,000 $0 2027 (void) $0 $0 Lattimore has no guaranteed money in his contract after 2024 so there is nothing that would lock a team into him beyond this year. Colts Logic: We wanted some experience in the secondary. We wanted a shutdown corner. So we give the Saints a offer they can not refuse. In the first 2 rounds we address most of our defensive woes. Saints Logic: Saints are switching to a 4-3 defense this year and just let Michael Thomas walk. They have always been cap wizards but this may be the year to start a new with the changes listed above. Lattimore has only played 17 games these past two seasons and even though he's a top 12 CB when healthy he has been dinged up. Kwity Paye can start at DE until Chase Young is healthy.
    • Ballard should have never cut him. I want Ogletree on the team as well considering charges were dropped (I believe), but his whole fiasco with his fiance where battery might have been involved was way more of a sensitive topic and understandable of being cut for than Rodgers friend betting 1k on his account on a Colts run stat over/under. That's the worse thing Rodgers was found guilty of, and now we have Colts fans trying to convince themselves we need a RD1 CB pick after 3 were chosen in last year's draft...    He did a podcast detailing what he bet on with Franklin and Speed in case others haven't seen it. Much ado about nothing imho and it's obvious the locker room still like him/didn't think he was negatively trying to affect the outcome of games, and they would know best on that over anyone.
