Maybe the Colts are switching to 3-4...haha. Would probably be seamless now...especially with who they have added.

I hope it means we're going to have a LOT of looks to throw at opponents.  We need to trick Brady eventually.

Once again this graph shows that Ballard once some very high-level competition. Every one needs to bring their A-game to training camp. With the addition of Green we seem to have a lot of great inside-outside play all across the LB positions. I don't think we'll be complaining about the linebacking position this season. It was a weak spot for us last year so Ballard went out and fixed it

Definitely looks like they're trying to address the problems we've had in pass coverage on crossing routes and rushing the passer as well.

 

Looking like the udfa's will be where we try to address OL depth.

All I know is if I’m on the defensive side of the ball and not named Hooker or Leonard, I’m very very nervous and prepping my resume just in case

Patriots.com had a draft video of him where he appears to be at least a defensive team captain - even above Sweat and Abram....

 

Also a suerior athlete per his RAS Score.

 

With Ballard, Dodds and Hogan comparing these draft picks to historically successful players it's just a matter of their mental game beyondcthat as to whether they'll fit in.

Yeah I agree. You can see what Ballard was talking about when he got here. There will be competition EVERYWHERE. I'm definitely a fan because he's preached about how we will constantly try to get better from guy #52/53 on the roster all the way up.

 

We're definitely more 'rangy' and athletic along with speed everywhere on D.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      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….
