With Brent’s out I wonder if we might finally see cross out there and using 3 safeties. We need to see cross play because Blackmon is a FA.

At this point I want to bring Blackmon back. He looked like the best safety against the Browns.

I doubt it. Probably just more of Baker? If they do try to shake things up, I think they go with one of the other backup corners

Hopefully they are smart enough to realize they can’t put him out there. We have a couple that should get the chance over baker. Hopefully we get someone by Tuesday.

You earn your playing time in practice.  Cross obviously isn’t impressing in practice.  If he’s not ready I don’t want him out there.

But who do we have?

Hall and the new guy we just got should get a chance.

He was really good in camp. I think this is just a situation where there just isn’t snaps for him.

Not sure if speed would be ready? Hall would have to be called up from PS, and they have Lammons there too

Freeland at RT then. Hope they have a plan for how to help him if he struggles. Luckily the Saints don't have DE on Garrett's level.

Yeah Freeland will actually finally get a little break this week from the past few weeks. I think Jordan only has one sack.

 

Looks like Johnson might be able to go. That is a big break for the colts. Although kamara is a different type of runner so maybe not quite as important as last week trying to plug the middle,

Sucks about Brents, our Secondary is really the only group that scares me as far as not being consistently good. I wish we still had Gilmore, but we don't.

We will see if they can win this weekend and maybe find a corner in the trade market Monday or Tuesday.  These next 3 games should be wins. Doesn’t mean they will but 3 wins will go a long way to help us make a playoff push.

I really don’t think a trade is coming.  Brents will be back this year.  Flowers back next year.  This is a temporary problem.  The Colts are deep into depth at corner and this is when you get this deep.  I don’t like Baler being out there either but I dont think there is a significantly better corner out there in free agency and I don’t expect a trade.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
