Not sure what bad juju is around him. 

Outside of the rumors about mom's BFF, there's not much lol.

 

The whole thing is pretty silly. His xGF is the one who put it out there. And his xGF hommie hopped (dating Zach's college buddy)... So sounds like she's tossing bricks inside a glass house. Sounds more like a scorned X than anything else. I give zero frank fritters about who he's dating or sleeping with. Has zero to do with his play. And he's just not very good right now lol. 

Yeah I really hated that initial post by(TTSM)

 

1. Wilson literally just probably ended his season on a non contact injury. Then you're(TTSM), not you(East), going to pile on him about being a bust. Little early to make that assessment and unfair to say that because he suffered a serious injury.

 

2. Then you're(TTSM) going to pile on even more talking about the guys personal life and things he has done. Which to this point, I am not even sure if it happened? Has it been confirmed? I don't think Zach confirmed it, don't think Zach's mom confirmed it? So you(TTSM) take a shot at Wilson character on something as EastStreet said, was brought up by scorned ex who yes, homie hopped to his buddy.

 

 

 

I thought the whole post about Wilson was repugnant, even more so considering the guy had literally just most likely ended his season on something that was beyond his control. To take professional and personal shots at Wilson at that point was rather disgusting, IMO.

Did you see the play. Non-contact, but just surprised they had him running like that in pre-season. Feel bad for the guy, but the coaching staff is super dumb for not establishing some clear no-no stuff. I'm be super cringed if Ryan decided to take off outside today in Buffalo. I know Ryan is not a Zach type QB, but still. 

 

To add on the whole cougar rumor... Read a couple articles when the stuff first came out. He and his mom seem be treating it with humor. His mom seems to loving all the attention, which is a bit strange... But frankly, don't care lol. I did the cougar thing in my early 20s. No big deal. Good learning experience lol. She used Lawrence being married as comp, which frankly he's the exception, not the rule.

I didn't see the play. Saw the post here about it and went and checked some info. Good news is it seems he didn't tear his ACL? Well at least preliminary examination according to Saleh? Awaiting MRI results, but doctors can usually tell immediately. I guess we will see.

 

As far as the other part, I don't even want to go into it. Just thought it wasn't the right time to take a personal shot at Wilson. Completely unnecessary.

Definitely not the right time. Just doesn't matter regardless. 

 

That's great news. Never wish injury on anyone. Jets are a sorry franchise, and while I was never super high on Zach, felt sorry he ended up in NY lol.

The Indianapolis Colts today released tackle Jason Spriggs.

Spriggs, 6-6, 301 pounds, was signed by the Colts as a free agent on June 10, 2022. He has played in 59 career games (10 starts) in his time with the Atlanta Falcons (2021), Chicago Bears (2020) and Green Bay Packers (2016-19). Spriggs has also appeared in four postseason contests.

 

So who's coming in???

The Falcons having a bottom of the league OL, released him. That  should tell you every thing you need to know about him.

Not saying he's great, or even good. 

But he was listed as our #2 LG (depth chart released). So what does that say about our G depth?

 It could concern us, that said, he hadn't been with us long and it is still early, so i will accept that it was a slite deference to his being a veteran.

G depth was already a concern before he left. 

Losing both Glow and Reed hurt. 

I love Pinter, but don't see decent depth behind him.

  I really liked what i saw out of Fries last season so i was surprised that a career below average Spriggs was at #2. Oh well, CB and his staff and our coaches and players keep grinding.

 Final cut day across the league is always interesting. We know decent vets always get cut because of $$$.

Fries has not looked great in 1on1s. 

I was hoping for a step forward too. 

 

Though Van Demark would look better too. He's likely safe though with D Kelly hurt. 

[holeymoley99]

Kenny Moore's Valdosta State teammate Brandon Kemp may have seen his odds of sticking increase just a bit as well. Will be interesting to see him in action today. Former Tackle moved inside 6'7 310 lbs.

The Colts have quietly been dropping hints about this during the off-season.   Glad to see Frank be so candid about the desire to be different this year.    
 

Between the bad pass blocking and the lack of trust in Wentz,  that’s why we averaged just 30 pass attempts a game last year.   We’d like to up that number.   I’m thinking maybe 35-36 per game this year.   Though I’m not sure what to expect in the pre-season.

I think he has said around 60 to 65 percent pass. Not sure how many pass attempts that would be. It’s possible Taylor gets more yards on less touches if the passing attack is clicking.

 Fries has looked OK Today. It took awhile for me to recall that i thought Fries looked promising last year as we were doing a lot of running when he got PT.  lol  

[NewColtsFan]

Personally….    I think both the first and second team OL have looked no better than OK….

 

Otherwise, I think both looked below average to disappointing.    All quarterbacks under constant pressure.    Now, that doesn’t mean the OL won’t be much better in 4 weeks….  That’s two weeks of pre-season plus two weeks leading up to wk1 of the regular season.    But I think it’s clear there is much work to do.   A lot.    
 

Curious as to the kind of comments Frank will give.    Standard coach speak?   Or will he be more candid and direct and say what he saw today was completely unacceptable?   Very, very curious…..

  Unacceptable?

   Pryor, if we are fortunate, will be decent overall. He is going to get beat some in pass blocking so Ryan must be aware.

 Q WILL be excellent.

  Kelly is a solid run block technician, but no longer over powers. In truth, he has been underwhelming against the powerful bull rush types.

 Pinter is like 306, and will be more of a athletic technician. Not a powerful drive blocker. I Expect he will also have problems with bigger, powerful types.

 Smith is a run blocker. He has always gotten beatenPass defending by the very speedy. That will always be so.

  I just don't see this being more than an average run or pass blocking line.

 Our OFF will have to look more like a Manning/Rivers offense, thankfully with a Super RB.

  Our defense looks VERY PROMISING, i hope most agree. A LOT of teams may score less than 20.   

[krunk]

I didnt think Ryan was running for his life. And there wasnt much if any pregame plan or scheme in place so im somewhat neutral right now. Although ive said before the OL is a great run blocking unit and not as good pass blocking.

I can’t believe what I just heard on JMV. Jake Querry gots some guts but I can’t believe he went this far. He is discussing Ballard’s take on WR. Saying Ballard is arrogant the way he answers questions about WR. Says he acts like he is the only smart one.  If you get a chan d to listen to the segment later you will be shocked at how he put it.

Never mind.   I now know who Jake Querry is.   He’s the partner of Kevin Bowen on the radio.   They interviewed Ballard for a long time just as training camp opened.   Jake stuck out because there were certain topics that Ballard was only willing to say so much.  Among them, Q’s contract, bringing back TYH, the WR group.   And Jake kept trying to find different ways of getting CB to talk about the topics.   Ballard seemed mostly amused about it.   But at some point I think he may have become a little annoyed.   

 

But now, in light of Querry going public as he did, I’ll say this as a media person….   He’s made a mistake going public with such comments.   It’s unprofessional.   It’ll only make his job harder.   I suspect he’s not alone thinking that, the difference is you don’t hear of anyone else being so public.   When you’re media, the idea is NOT to make yourself the story.   That’s what Querry just did.   This will get to CB.   Have no idea how he’ll respond if at all?   Maybe he takes the high road?   But I think JQ made a rookie mistake.  Again, I don’t care that he thinks it.  He might even be right.  I care that he said it.   And if I was his boss, I wouldn’t be happy.

I will watch this if I can find it, but I 100% agree with him by just hearing your original comment. It took guts, but he absolutely right, it needed to be said, and I guarantee you lots of members of the media think it, but keep their mouth shut.

Okay why did it NEED to be said?  Do you think Ballard is going to hear it and go “oh I’ve seen the light I’ll change my ways”?  My guess is you happen to agree with what Jake said and thus you are happy he said it, which is perfectly fine.  It didn’t NEED to be said though because nothing is going to happen from it other than Ballard MIGHT not do anymore interviews with Jake.  That’s if Ballard even knows or cares what he said.  My guess is Ballard is a little busy doing other things right now than to listen to this interview and even if he did I doubt he cares.  He’s a big boy he’s been criticized before and he will be criticized again.  I doubt he cares what people not named Jim Irsay or other members of the Colts say.

Thanks for proving my point. He doesn't care what people not named Jim Irsay or other members of the Colts say. It needed to be said so more casual fans can be aware of this situation and do their own research afterwards on what they think of the team instead of blindly trusting the FO. Ballard is one of those guys that if he doesn't feel he is wrong about something, he will never change his ways. He even said in "with the next pick" in an episode, "it's my way or the highway". He is incredibly arrogant. He's a really good GM, but it's a negative when he's arrogant about the things he's wrong in.

 

None of us on the forum will ever probably have enough of a voice to reach enough Colts fans to make a difference (good or bad). Jake has enough of an audience where his comments may make a difference to some people. Irsay aims to please the fans, if it gets noticed by enough people complaining (whether by voice or with their paychecks),  then maybe Irsay forces Ballard to sign a big name WR in FA or trade for one. What Jake is doing takes guts, is honest, and may make a difference for the Colts if Irsay notices it because he is a big enough name. This can only be a good thing.

Ok, do you think Frank Reich (being a former offensive coordinator), likes the current receiver group if he's being honest. I bash Reich all the time, but it's not like he has much to work with besides Pittman, and I doubt he's super-happy about not having a solid veteran or a no2 WR to go with Pittman. If you think he's satisfied with the current WR core, I'd say you're dead wrong.

I think if Reich is a normal HC, he would pressure Ballard into getting a no2 WR alongside Pittman to make things easier. Not sure why you would want to play at such a disadvantage. That's a disservice to you, Matt Ryan, the offense, the defense, the fanbase who goes to these games, and Jim Irsay who trusts you and Ballard to win games every year and compete for a SB.

Because he actually likes the young guys?  I mean it’s possible he’s telling you the truth and it’s just not what you want to hear.  
 

Also for your theory to work you have to ignore that by all accounts it was Frank that pushed for the Wentz move last year and Ballard was the one who wasn’t 100% sold on it but they made the move anyways.  So if Ballard is a my way or the highway guy how did Wentz get here?  Also do you really expect anyone to believe Frank has the pull to get a new starting QB at the cost of a first round pick but he can’t get the team to get a vet WR if he wants one?

If that's true, then it's just incompetence. At best, he is depending on growth without any reliable option behind Pittman. At worst, he's relying on luck that a player breaks out and is winging it based on numbers. Not sure what it is, but there's no logical reason at this point to think our WR core will be improved unless you think Campbell will have a big year and his injuries are what held him back. Pierce is a rookie and probably needs a year, and the rest are low round picks who are dart throws.
