Will they be able to stash him on the PS? 

 

Hopefully they put Sam on the PS and this guy on the 53 man roster.

No. To claim a player, they’ve got to go to the active 53 for 3 weeks per league rules. You’ll likely see a D player cut

I think they might cut French

Apparently CB Tony Brown wasn't listed on the practice roster today, so he's probably the one they're waiving to make room.

I'm not excited about any of the pickups happening now

Did you expect to be? As tfunky said, these are mostly just depth moves. It's not even trying to find a diamond in the rough, more like a piece of copper that would be serviceable.

isnt Rainmann already giving him competition

Maybe Rainmann isn't as far along as they like and more of a developmental prospect.  Not going to be ready this year.

 

Not to say Rainmann isn't going to be a fine LT one day, just needs more time.

Just depth people , relax

Do you realize how much our backup oline had to play last year. One starter and backup aren’t with the team. We elevated two of our backups to starters. We haven’t replaced any of these guys with nfl experience. I am ok with fries because he has been in the system now and we have tape. Just not sure after that. We had awesome depth last year and those depth guys played something like 500 snaps because of injuries and Covid.

I think you're looking too far into it. All reports on Rainmann thus far have been positive.

I stand corrected, earlier this preseason I said no way French made the cut.... I think I was confusing him with the other center, mollette, from central Michigan?  I dunno....but, either way, what I typed was wrong!

 

I think Wesley French (from Western Michigan) may turn out to be a very good center.

This claim makes me feel better about the O-Line depth. I remembered him in the draft, but figured Ballard wouldn't draft him because of his RAS score. When the Bills got him, I was curious if he'd ever do anything. Happy to get him off waivers as a depth lineman. IMO, it gives us a dart throw to improve the O-Line, and that's all we could ask for with waiver claims coming through.

Everybody seems worried about the depth of our O-line.  And rightly so.  But I’m also quite concerned about our first 5 - at least 2 or 3 of them.

 

I get the impression that a lot of people see Nelson and Smith on there and assume that our line is still the elite unit it was a couple years ago.

 

Hopefully Raimann comes along well through the season.  I think he has great potential.

He was drafted ahead of Brooks so almost like we recouped that draft pick back (Brooks was only one to miss the 53). Even was a possibility we originally wanted him in that spot and when didnt get him gave Van Demark that big signing bonus. Son of a college coach,been around the game his whole life. Has the size. Worth the claim imo.

If Raimann progresses and Pryor struggles, Raimann could finish out the year.

 What? "A lot of people" are concerned about Kelly at Center.
 Very FEW feel comfortable with Pryor or Pinter (show me).
  Smith is Among the best run blockers and a mediocrity pass blocking.
  So how in the WORLD would ANYONE consider this line within a country mile of Elite???

Let’s see Kelly play before “a lot of people” should be concerned.  Q and Smith, as well as Kelly make the Oline less than a city block of being elite. 
 

Pryor and Raimann are both solid, and the depth is decent with Fries and Kelly coming back.  
 

90% of the teams in the league would love to have our Oline.

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
