Not sure he would have  made  that much of a difference.  This D starts and stops with the D line.  They don't get pressure and below average qbs looking like Hall of Famers.   Plus  our corners r gamers but lack talent.  I don't think a safety could impact thoae  glaring weaknesses.  We will add talent in the off season via the draft and free agency. Look for a lot of new starters on  the D next year.  Based on our talent on D, it  shouldn't b hard for a rookie and/or free agent to come in here and take a starting spot.  Take a pic of the starting D this year.  I think it changes a lot next year.

Good point about the pressure.   That said, having a ball hawk FS on the field forces the opposing QB to account for him (whether it be that FS causing confusion or uncertainty pre-snap or forcing a look-off prior to a pass).  Forcing the opposing QB to process what the FS is doing can extend the play that little bit, which helps the pass rush.

oh, sorry, thought i was on the jeopardy forum.

 

I just about spit water all over my computer screen.  That was one of the funniest posts I have ever seen, anywhere.  I needed that laugh.  Well done, sir.

Those multiple intermediate/deep throws, especially the TD's, to Roberts and Cook that Carr made, are much better contested or possibly not even thrown at all if Hooker is in there.

He might be a free agent at the end of the season if the Giants don't re-up him.

He'd be a guy I would want to target. Sounds like the Giants are getting trade calls on him right now too. He and Hooker would be the perfect duo for this defense.

Well newly signed WR Dontrelle Inman finished one game with SD at safety when they had too many injuries. So are future safety may already be on the roster lol!

      Don’t worry. This is pretty common for the 2024 Reds. They always win the first game of the series in convincing fashion, and then the bats get cold for the rest of the other 2-3 games.

      I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….
