Considering Ballard like Campbell not a bad idea to give someone on his staff a look. He has been great with Goff this year.

 

I don’t like hiring a DC but it’s just interviews right now.

Doesn't matter if HC gets right OC.

That’s all scheme that takes advantage of Allen’s talents.

I agree Johnson is way to green.  Only one year as OC.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Jim Harbaugh already interviewed with colts and nobody knows.

Let’s hope so.  So far I’m not excited.

I feel confident that we've seen the last of Chris Strausser with the Colts. In fact, I think most -- if not all -- of the offensive staff will be gone. I think Montgomery is the only guy that could stand on his work and say 'I've done a good job here.' 

Route running was slightly better with Reggie but yeah I think he gone too

Apparently, teams can't have interviews with currently employed coaches until Wednesday, and can't have in-person interviews until after wild card weekend. Unless I'm reading this wrong...

 

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/28/nfl-tweaks-the-rules-for-interviewing-head-coaching-candidates/

 

Quote

 

First, teams cannot interview a head-coaching candidate who is employed by another NFL team until the third day after the conclusion of that team’s Week 18 game. This specifically applies to assistant coaches working for teams that did not qualify for the playoffs or that earned a first-round bye. For teams that play in the wild-card round, assistant coaches cannot be interviewed until the following Tuesday (for Saturday and Sunday games) or Wednesday (for the Monday game).

 

Second, no in-person interviews are permitted with candidates who are employed by other teams until after all wild-card games have ended. Before the end of the wild-card round, in-person interviews may occur only with candidates employed by the team hiring a head coach or candidates not currently employed by the NFL.

 

 

So if you want to interview Harbaugh, go right ahead (and maybe the Colts do, but they need Michigan's consent, and that starts with Harbaugh notifying Michigan that he's interested). But it seems like everyone else is employed by another team, so there are some brakes being applied with these new rules.

 

I think they should make teams wait until after the SB to do any interviews, period. Just put all HC interviewing and hiring on hold until everyone is fully available. I understand there's a lot of team activity and teams want to get their guy in place asap, but the current process is chaotic, and based on the high amount of turnover, it doesn't work well. It also allows for situations like McDaniels, or puts potential candidates whose teams are in the playoffs in a position where they have to decide whether they want to spend a couple days preparing and interviewing, rather than focusing on their current duties. Just level the playing field for everyone, and make everyone wait until after the SB.

Something that irked me is that it took two months of Pierce running go routes 18 inches from the sideline before someone told him to leave a three yard gap for the QB to drop the ball in. A half dozen opportunities for go balls didn't work out because he was too close to the sideline. 

 

Maybe they were telling him this all along, and he kept messing up. Seems unlikely to me.

 

But I was never thrilled with the idea of Reggie being the WR coach to begin with. I love him, I appreciate his role, but I wanted an experienced WR coach, not a newbie. Make Reggie an assistant and let him get his feet wet. I mean, Kevin Mawae is an assistant OL coach.

What's the difference between Shane Steichen and Ben Johnson?

I like the Eagles offense a bit more and I like the idea of a guy who was on the Colts former OC’s staff coming back.  For a team that has constantly been going through off-season changes any familiarity that he might bring with a similar offensive philosophy that they had under Nick can’t hurt.

Chris will be only one interviewing or Jim too?

 

Historically, Pete Ward has been involved. I'm sure it won't be just Ballard.

Shane is a big Reich supporter. Ben worked wonders with Lion QB.

 

Shane works for a Reich supporter. I'm curious whether he'll accept the interview. I don't know if he has any direct connection to Reich himself. 

 

But my point is I think Steichen and Johnson have very similar profiles. Without really knowing either of them, I kind of have them in the same bucket, personally.

      Colts Select Tanor Bortolini C

      By Superman · Posted

      Ballard's draft strategy is sound, IMO. It's his unwillingness to be more aggressive in other areas that I think holds him back. To build the kind of team he wants with as little outside help as he acquires, he'd have to be seriously outperforming everyone in the draft every year for several years in a row, and that's not going to happen.     Yeah it would be director of scouting or something similar, where he can work from a home base but still do his thing. It's really remarkable that he can compile this information without being on the road all year, but that probably means he has a network feeding him info, which is basically what a director would be doing. I have no idea about the compensation though.     Solak is not my cup of tea. I agree with his opinions often enough, but his presentation is grating. And he comes across as overly opinionated and downright contemptuous of anyone who disagrees with his strong opinions.   An example is last year, how he mocked the idea that any team would like Levis as a top level QB. For him, it had to be because NFL teams just like the guy who looks and talks like a franchise QB, no one could actually like Levis for his traits and his game. So the Colts were the team that was definitely going to fall in love with him, because he looks and talks the way Jim Irsay prefers, and therefore the Colts were going to stupidly draft him at #4. Again, not because they like his game. Anyone who disagreed with his analysis of Levis had to have a flawed and prejudiced process from top to bottom. He was loud and somewhat abrasive about it... and he was very wrong.    I think he does the work. I think he also gets ahead of himself in certain ways, and presents things as if he's absolutely certain, even when he's off on the details. In some ways, he seems more suited for sports debate shows than player analysis, and I don't like sports debate shows.

      Post-draft needs?

      By throwing BBZ · Posted

      For his career Budda has 10% missed tackles. Pretty high actually. His big year with all those tackles he had a 72.7% completions rating. And a 125 passer rating and gave up 4 tds. Yowwww!   Since winning is everything, I see our management team adding 3 more pieces to strengthen our chances. I would expect at S, LB, RB. Barring injury, going right up to final cuts works for us.

      There’s no reason to trade Paye.  None.   He fits comfortably in the roster.  Ballard just gushed over Paye this weekend.  Couldn’t say enough good things about him.     And since we let Pittman play out his rookie deal before re-signing him, I’m expecting the same with Paye.   Even if we don’t pick up the 5th year option, I think he’ll be back next year the same as Pittman.

      Colts select Jaylin Simpson DB Auburn

      By Dobbinblitz · Posted

      Walterfootball listed 5 players selected as DAY 3 Draft Sleepers. Simpson was on their list. Simpson will slide in the 2024 NFL Draft because he is skinny. At 6-foot, 179 pounds, he needs to add weight for tackling in the NFL. If Simpson can develop in a pro strength and conditioning over his rookie season, he could turn into a quality starter by the end of his first pro contract. Simpson - "I'm ready to continue to do what I was destined for. Continue to grow as a player, continue to show everybody why I feel like I'm one of the best players in the country, one of the best safeties in the draft."  Draftnetwork - Second Team All-SEC (2023) • Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist (2023) “Jaylin Simpson is a versatile defensive back who has cornerback athleticism and burst paired with the safety vision and instincts to be an impact player in the secondary.”
