Leatherwood has been tried at tackle.   Left and right.   And failed at both.   Don’t know why he’s now struggling at guard?   You’d think he’d be able to play well enough there?  

No he's was getting better at LT....don't know why they put him at guard

Can you elaborate?   What did Ballard say?  
 

Are you talking about the few numbers of LTs vs the large number of RTs?

Remember everyone kept saying that we needed to draft a tackle.  Ballard said there wasn’t many pure LT. Everyone kept saying it was a deep tackle class. Here we are two oline guys already being talked about as trade bate or being released. Now we see why one wasn’t drafted.

Seems the deal they struck makes him a FA after the season. Could be a distraction but players seem to like Lance so maybe a good compromise allowing him to become a FA after the season.

Surprised that Jimmy did that.  They pretty much had to release him with his current contract and he could have picked his team this year.  Can still do it next year but a year early is a year early.  He would have had a nice market I would think.

Yeah but I don’t think Jimmy had market for the much money this year, especially this close to the season and if he didn’t want to go to Seattle.

Stephen Holder said he was told in confidence the number of targets they want to give Hines. JMV goes is it around 70. Holder said it’s higher then 70. 

 

That's not really how it works. Targets are earned, not given. 

 

Between what I have heard about targets for Pitt, Hines, Pierce, MAC...this team is apparently going to throw 800 passes this season haha

No. Our interior d line was bad this preseason.

 

  Please don't judge our starting d-line based on so few snaps.

It's a new D with New assignments! Grover may turn out to be a Pro Bowler. 

 We know Stallworth well. And he Is a good penetrator, like we want, but he did get dominated against the run.

 CB and his staff consider all possibilities, we will see if they stand pat with our Rookie tackles. If they do it is for a reason. And Stallworth could be available for awhile.

Talking about depth not the starters.

Hines has already EARNED closer to 90 targets based on past performance.

He has had 60+ catches before they made him one of the higher paid RB's.

 Now that we have receivers with speed to attack all levels of the field, and with a true play action QB, Hines should easily avg. 4 catches a game.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By w87r · Posted

      Idk?   I think Ballard has a lot more control on how this is disseminated than you are giving him. I'm sure he has final approval, this isn't like the in season NFL hard knock thing.(Which we still controlled what was put out there) This is a team made draft video to get fans hyped.     It did the job for me     I do agree that, that was just a random comment about a guy(being there at #15) they were actually generally talking about in natural conversations and the sound bite was used there. I don't think it was just a comment made to place at the end intentionally. Whether that guy might be there, or is someone who should no doubt be there is the question, and what should we take from it ending that way    And it might not of even been his idea to put that at the end, but when presented how to end it, agreed this is the best way to get the fans talking about it.     Either way it was a great cliff hanger. Like I said it brought about some conversation, so I think it did it's part.

      The one player you want from this years draft

      I watched the semi final game between Washington and Texas last night and Odunze and Polk just destroyed Texas. Penix had around 400 yards.

      I’ll have to search for Hicks’ break-down.  I hadn’t seen much tape of Bowers until a couple of weeks ago when I watched a highlight reel, and that was very impressive.  I’m just nervous about how hard it seems to be to predict TE success…

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By stitches · Posted

      I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk.

      You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year.
