Shive Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 4 hours ago, BlackTiger said: We are good at SS now, Blackmon is a veteran starter in that role and I think Cross can play it well too. Nick is still just 22 and is trending up. I think Cross is really only a SS. He's fast, but he's a linear athlete and doesn't have the lateral agility to be a rangy FS. I still like him as a 3rd safety in certain sub-packages. 4 hours ago, BlackTiger said: I can live with having Jags at FS but we still need CBs. I dont care what scheme you run you cant be as weak at corner as we are, teams will exploit the matchups Honestly, I think most of our coverage issues came from the FS spot where the CB would hand off the receiver like they should, but the FS didn't pick them up. I'd prefer an upgrade at FS. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasta519 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 5 minutes ago, GoColts8818 said: We’ll see what they do. Blackmon has played FS in the past although I agree he was much better at SS last year. Again, I can’t explain exactly everything Ballard is doing here because I don’t understand it all myself. I think moving Blackmon to SS was pretty clear. My guess is Cross is the plan if they don't sign a FS. But I think they really should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 7 minutes ago, Solid84 said: The Texans mean business. Dang a team making the playoffs and still not deciding to just “run it back”.. Texans know how to help their young QB. Good for them. Once the Texans blow out the Colts in both games this year maybe Irsay will finally see how terrible Ballards strategy has been. Doubt it though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 This is how you run a team when you have a guy on a rookie deal. Not the way Ballard is. It’s embarrassing how passive he is. This colts team is not winning the division as long as Ballard is here. Colds are going to finish 4th in the division st this rate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougDew Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 14 minutes ago, Solid84 said: They should've re-signed their own then spent 5 years trying to build up their team through the draft - much better approach... 🤦♂️ It seems like any given season, there will be two or three teams loading up in the offseason. If it doesn't work, good for us. The issue is that if it does work, there could always be a new team that leap frogs us and makes it harder to reach the AFCCG. Will TEN be the next team next season? Its like the NFL market has spoken. You need to be one of those teams that leaps 15 spots in the "power rankings", so to speak, to give the team a shot at fighting through the wash. If you take the slow approach, a different Ferrari will just up from behind and pass you every season. And it doesn't matter if that Ferrari ends up on the side of the road after a few seasons. A different one will pass you next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtStrong2013 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 That’s a big ego to satisfy. Is he even wr1 there? How does that make Tank Dell and Niko Collins better? I’m not sure it does. Texans have a gm that is willing to part with /reduce the usage of their in-house talent for more star power. Bold strategy… we’ll see. Hope Diggs takes his drama to Houston. No reason to change now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard pallo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Tbh we really don’t know if AR is the real deal. He was injured twice in his first season and missed like 13 games. He has potential for sure but there is still the unknown with him. The Texans know for sure Stroud is the real deal. He showed them playing the full season. I would bet if AR had the season Stroud had Ballard would be making a few moves the fans would like. Not to worry. He needs to strengthen the secondary some more and then we can compete with the likes of the Texans. Especially if AR is the quarterback we think he is. Remember Diggs didn’t get Allen to the Super Bowl like they were hoping. Not to worry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
