We don’t have a good enough secondary.

he requested the trade. that means, don't wanna be here. 

 

also ur comparing apples to oranges, Gilmore is a vet about to retire 

He wanted to go to a contender 

[Solid84]

Brown got cooked bad

Isn't Shane Bradley's boss?  

Yeah, but Shane wasn't allowed to pick his own DC, which is beyond stupid.  So Shane has no choice but to watch Bradley's soft D get carved up.

i'd like to see more heavy nickel sets with 3 safeties on the field

Yeah but you can’t micromanage during a game. You have to let the D do it’s job even if they’re stinky. Bradley is an experienced DC for crying out loud. I’m mad too  

[Lancer1]

That was quick, but at least we have plenty of time to respond.

[w87r]

Might need Baker back in there...

[JlynRN]

Well dang. 

[IinD]

 That's not on shane is it? Lol

[bluephantom87]

Saints just playing catch!!!!!!

i don't understand why fans keep taking this jab, when in reality Gilmore did not want to be here.

 

What do you do with a player who doesn't want to be on your team? 

You don’t trade him…he was still under contract with us.

 

They didn’t just unload JT the minute he asked out.

[GoColts8818]

Zero pressure and it’s showing.  

[kymd82222]

Absolutely PATHETIC 

[AKB]

wow we need a corner so bad

Yep but that will likely change next season. Again, this was a throw away season in my mind . I hoped we’d surprise some but realized that odds were against us. I think we’ll be fine next uear

I’m a big proponent of that, and now with Franklin’s injury, it’s important 

[richard pallo]

Told you Carr is better than Minchew.  He will torch us if we give him that much time.

[IrsaysArmy]

Different week, same old % team.

JT isnt a vet about to retire ring chasing

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is a joke. Those guys don’t even look like nfl players we have in the secondary.

[Dingus McGirt]

Wasn’t it just 17-3 Colts?

Does Steichen make the defensive calls?

I dont know, but I would think he has input.

JT was also part of their long term plans.  Gilmore wasn’t going to be.

Or front four....

[JColts72]

More secondary problems.

[ColtsUrUs]

Brown should not see the field anymore. Dude can't tackle or cover. Baker and brown should be cut asap. 

[#12.]

5 minutes ago, #12. said:

A FG is a win.

 

Unless Steichen is willing to grind the hell out of it on offense, we need at least 40 to win.

[Derakynn]

Don't need to intentionally tank for MHJ with this defense.

[chad72]

Ballard will trade for a CB only if we win this game and the CBs we have won’t let that happen. Catch 22

[AKB]

dayo injured

 

so now we have a banged up front four, that  already lacks depth, with a very very young cornerback room

Rodgers wasn't suspended for gambling then either.

You he has time IN GAME to make play calls for the O, manage the game as HC AND give Bradley input on defensive calls?

And replaced with who?  Two other guys who are just as bad?  There are no players to go get in free agency that are going to be dramatically better.  They aren’t going to make a trade because they have two guys who are hurt who can play and one of them is short term.

Ballard should trade for one of those edge rushers that are available.  He has no luck in drafting one.

[SR711]

This secondary is awful and may end costing us this season.

 

Mark this up as another instance where Ballard decided to go into a season with clearly low talented, thin unit while sitting on cap space and it came back to bite him.

Yes that gets forgotten as well.

We are nowhere NEAR bad enough to get MHJ.  I don't know why people keep pushing this narrative.  He will be a top 5 pick.  Some mock drafts have him going as high as #2.  

[AKB]

didn't we call this though?

 

shootouts because we don't have corners

I want for Ballard to trade for Surtain so bad, lol. I don't think we'll do anything though.
