off topic but I see the Titans were looking into signing Martavious Bryant who's been away from the game on suspension but recently reinstated. Was a beast when he played. Always have us trouble. Watch the go and sign him.  If it wasn't for character concerns with him he'd be a solid fit here I think. Definitely a deep threat. If we work him out it wouldn't shock me if we signed. Very talented, but Character flags though.

I wonder how far Hamler is from being able to play.  He interests me much more than Watkins. 

His issue seemed very serious so he may be a longer term prospect but Im also curious what he will bring once 100%.

 

Wouldnt mind seeing Winfree get an opportunity in preseason he produced time and again when his number was called.

Downs is probably out this week. I just heard it on the Bowen show. Regarding the Tackles, I have no idea what is going on there?

We’ve looked at OL nearly every week, I doubt there’s much consideration 

Watkins needs to retire but I’d kick the tires if cheap

We were looking for a WR at the deadline.  That’s an indicator they would like to upgrade over what we already have at the position.

Probably because, when Freeland got hurt, just before the Panthers game, the Colts depth chart did not even list a backup Tackle. It looked like Hambright would fill that void (if need be), however, the team seems to view him as a guard.

I do not want us to sign Sammy Watkins. Over the horizon vet. 

 

Agree wholeheartedly. Think about it as BAD as the Chiefs need a receiver they're not even fooling with Watkins who was there before. He was looking washed in the end and that was with Mahomes as his qb. @krunk suggested a possible look at Martavious Bryant who has been reinstated by the league. (substance abuse) Bryant will work out for the Cowboys today and the Titans tomorrow. He would be a nice pairing for either Lamb or Hopkins. The dude has talent and could be a low risk high reward type that's worth a flier on if not signed by either team.

Yeah he is definitely a guy that can take a top off a defense. Significantly better player than Pierce. And he played in an Air Coryal offense in Pitt. Would be easy to get rid of if he regressed behavior wise. I would take a good look if I was Ballard. But I'm sure he probably won't.

no thanks on both. Bryant fell off before the suspension. Bryant was as successful as he was because he was the opposite of the best WR in the league for his entire stint with Pittsburg. 

 

Much rather just let pierce suck, or bench him for our depth chart. 

 

other than that, please no 30+ vets.

Cowboys didn't let Bryant get out the building and signed him to the PS. By all reports he looked good physically, had nice catch radius and still had burst. Gives them a big receiver with speed.

yup. I think he will definitely help them. won't be on the PS for long. I don't care if he is 30, still worth a shot to me. even if we did get him with Minshew at QB it's not like it's putting us in the playoffs though. I do think he probably has another 1-3 good years left though.

If we're working out wide receivers - at least get someone with RECENT experience.

 

Sammy Watkins hasn't been relevant in quite a while.

 

I'd be happier bringing back someone who was with the team in training camp and/or the practice squad - at least they'd have a smidgen of recent work - and - knowledge of the current Colts system.

Oh yeah they already said he'll only be on their practice squad for a very short stint to get familiar with the offense because they have plans for Bryant to get many reps on game day to pair with Lamb... Oh well

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday

      We certainly have options as both DB draftees started at FS as well as CB in college. Perhaps Thomas ‘could’ revert back to CB as well?

      Here's to hoping Colts hit the jackpot and everyone looks back saying wow he was definitely the best wr in that draft...
