Irsay may be too po’d on this team, he may hand off the keys to one of his daughters!

Well he can get * but he drank the same kool aid by giving these 2 extensions. So he has to share the blame. Oh and guess what? The next head coach and GM gets stuck with a guard and lb making close to 20 million. Buckner and Moore appear to be winding down. Taylor and Pittman will be up for new deals. Wow, we r screwed. The Oline is regressing. Where do u start if u r the new regime next year?? Ballard may leave this team in more of a mess than Grigson and I am not joking.

ballard hired reich .........    thats his guy  he needs to go down with him

 

Reich was the emergency hire after McDaniels left Ballard at the altar. Ex colts like peyton,polian, etc... recommended Reich for the emergency the colts was in....so Irsay hired Reich due to the circumstances.... like a donut spare tire temporarily put on until you replace it with a Full Size tire. The problem is the colts doing what the colts do are still driving with the donut spare. haha

Ballard has really messed this up. In a league that values Qb's, Wr's and Pass Rush the most, he has failed to find Lucks replacement, failed to provide adequate pass rush and absolutely has gone complete dummy on the WR position.

Instead we have most of our money tied up in a G, the highest paid Oline that cant block, and a linebacker.


I was worried sick all off-season about our OL.  And my fears have been realized.

 

Ballard did not plan or prepare for Castonzo’s retirement.  We’ve been using band-aids at LT - the 2nd most important position on the offense.  And it’s manifesting as you would expect.

 

I’m glad we drafted Raimann.  But this should’ve been dealt with several years ago.  As it is, we have two bad options at the position.

matt ryan even in his prime was eli manning level of QB a franchise guy who is right outside the top ten .  i dont know why adding him at 37 the colts thought all the problems of last year would be fixed .   at least get him some wrs or something to help cant have him running for his life with no weapons

Blame Irsay

Yup, pay a Guard LT money, when you need an actual LT?  Backward thinking...

 

I was finishing cooking during 1H early, so didn't watch OL as close, but saw more issues on the right side. 

Need to rewatch...  but likely won't lol...  painful...

You aren’t embarrassed already?

 

The Big Lebowski What GIF by MOODMAN

The game isn't over yet, and last week we were also down by 17 in the 3rd Quarter on the road and still should've won the game - if we lose by 2 or 3 scores, then it's time for changes to be made, at a minimum, stripping Frank of his  playcalling duties.

    • This has to be the worst take I've seen on this forum in a very long time!  I wish there was a thumb down or dislike button for your post.
    • Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less... 
    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
