I mean, even the lackluster Colts media were talking about cornerbacks both possible draft-targets and veterans. When people were talking corners they were talking 1st and 2nd rounders and proven veterans. Noone were clamouring for another 5th+ round project. That's not what we needed. I don't think people are * Brents got hurt. It's unfortunate it happened once again and probably derailed his future career. People are really * about the contingency plan, though, because that's been talked about since AT LEAST early March. -

It’s shifted because people are complaining the Colts didn’t address corner to their satisfaction. Even though they picked corners in R 5 and 6. It’s shifted because people are * that Brent’s got hurt otherwise this topic wouldn’t have even been brought up. You mixed your corner theory’s. One was that we’d likely use a 1st or 2nd round pick in the draft. That’s true. Now it’s why didn’t bring in a veteran corner? Was there talk about it? Sure, a typical off-season conversation. But there’s no comparison — none at all — of conversation here for the need to sign a vet FA safety vs the need to sign a vet FA corner. By comparison, safety was a Hot Topic, while corner was almost an afterthought. That’s my recollection. -
I'm not saying no one was ever talking about corner. I'm saying the primary focus has been on safety, until recently. But that's not even necessarily a bad thing. I think safety was the bigger concern, and felt that way until we saw Cross look okay in the preseason. It makes sense for the focus to have changed. (And there might still be a legitimate concern at safety, Cross isn't totally proven, and now Blackmon isn't practicing.) Bigger picture, I don't think any of this is important. At least for me, my concern is whether the players we have right now are good enough, at both positions, and I'm waiting for Sunday so we can get some indication of who we have out there, and how it looks. But I do think there's some living on both sides of the fence going on this week. -
Polian had Peyton Manning. And also, using your logic, That would make the car salesman in Denver a better gm than Polian because Manning went to 2 Super Bowls in 4 short season's in Denver while he only went to 2 in 14 long season here in Indy. And by the way how many winning seasons did the broncos have in the 2 years before Manning got there and the 8 seasons since he left? -
