He must have seriously underperformed to be released while we were thin at OG.  It's too bad.  I was looking for a diamond in the rough.  Looks like all we got was rough.

Don't panic. Everything will be okay.

Mike Strachan was cut. The end 

 

I saw the Panthers trading for Ihmir Marsette swapping 7th round picks. Marsette could have been a cut casualty, so Chiefs pounced on that deal.

 

Chiefs probably can't keep 7 WRs (Toney, Moore, MVS, Watson, Rice, Richie James, Justyn Ross) - I would ask them about a 7th round pick deal for Justyn Ross who is finally healthy and showing signs of improvement.

 

Chiefs might also try to save a roster spot for Lucas Niang or Prince Wanogho, both offensive tackles. What do Colts fans think of one of them for guard based on your draft impressions of them?

What that is weird.  Probably  Nick cross made such a huge leap.

I mentioned earlier, I have come to find, with most of these late FA signings, the team ends up deciding we are just better off with the players we already have (Drake and now Harrison for example this year)

That's why I'm really not expecting the Colts to make some kind of waiver signing that has great impact.

They talked a lot about how Cross has been better since they moved him to FS. Not as much thinking as the SS does in Bradley’s scheme. Probably rolling with Blackmon, Cross, Thomas, and Denbow. Colts seem to almost always go with younger guys.

He has to be exposed for 24 hours I believe before he can be reclaimed. 
 

If I’m wrong, I’m sure someone will quickly correct me. 

Yeah, Strachan shouldn’t technically have three years in the league, so he should have to clear waivers.  We can put him on the PS if no one else wants to put him on their active roster…

How many seasons should it take for potential to be realized?  He has it all physically, but he’s still not there.

Idk, he seemed well on his way to making the roster this year until his injury.  I think he has value, though.  He could Juwann Winfree some team next year…

In his case?  As a WR who has played at lowwwww level competition in college, for only a few seasons, and with COVID for most of his college career?  

 

Nah, JK, none of that matters, he'll be a 4th WR at best.

I’d settle for him progressing to a #4.  Apparently they say he makes the spectacular plays but doesn’t make the expected catches.  
 

Right now Pierce is a one trick pony (assuming he can catch the ball).  What is Strahan’s trick?  Jump balls?

I wonder if we’ll make any Oline or WR moves after all the cuts?

My thought is that if we look up the RAS scores of the OL who are cut and find one with a high score, there's a decent chance Ballard will sign that guy. High RAS seems to be the baseline qualification for Colts O-linemen.

Well we don’t have enough Oline men so we better.

Idk, I know it was only preseason and they ran vanilla plays and routes, but something just felt off with our WR. 

Well, Pierce dropping balls didn't help.  I hope he cleans that cleaned up this year.  He has to be more consistent.

Winfree probably makes the team... or we only roster 4? 

No way we only roster 4 WRs. I thought Winfree earned that last WR spot, although I did like what I saw from Rodgers. Hopefully we can get him on the PS.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By Chucklez · Posted

      You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CoachLite · Posted

      I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?

      I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.
