Let’s be clear….   Matt Gay is overpaid to you.   Not to everyone.   But to you and others who think they’re smarter than Chris Ballard.   
 

You're entitled to whatever opinion you like.   But it’s not like you speak for all.  

He better get it together he hasnt been very reliable as of late.

I don’t care what he’s paid. I’m concerned that he may be on the decline and kickers go thru decline FAST historically.  So I’m kind of hoping we can sneak that Spencer kid on to the roster as a plan B just incase Gay is in decline

He looked good, it wasn't just everyone was bad.  Baker had a legitimately good off season.

that's good to hear, and i hopee it transfers to production in season

Mike Strachan had some good off-seasons too, and so did Deon cain.. etc

exactly. what he's paid is secondary to the fact he is underperforming.

I think if we cut Pinter he’s going to get picked up.  I just read where Dalton Risner is going on IR to start the season for the Vikings.  I think OL is going to be a position that will be popular at cutdowns.

I'm not sure I know what Pinter has ever done to warrant being kept to be honest.

Kickers go into decline historically when they’re old, as Adam V was.  
 

But Gay isn’t old.  He’s 30/31.  He’s still in his prime.  He declined last year due to a groin injury, otherwise he has been consistently good.  That’s why the Colts paid him what they did.   4/22m. 
 

Obviousky, I want what we all want.  A solid, reliable kicker.   I expect to see that this year.  I’ll be disappointed if we don’t.

 Hmmmm! Some said he played pretty good when he filled in for Kelly a couple of years ago. Sorry you missed it. And if you cared to watch we have been running all over them this pre-season and he has been good. And passing well too of course. He was decent playing some guard also.

edit: i see sam was cut too

Sam was one of Franks guys not Shanes.

 

I think Shane wanted to take good look last season but Sam's physical limitations were pretty obvious. 

 

Ideally you want to draft a qb and have him be so good a team will want to trade a pick for him. That wasn't happening with Sam.

 

Hopefully Sam will hook up with another team but I really feel he'd make a good coach.

 

Good luck Sam !

The emergency QB rule extends to the PS so you can keep your third QB without wasting a roster spot

Questions: Do we have to activate that QB for that game? Can we bring up the same player all 17 regular season games, or is there a limit? Or does that 3rd QB stay listed as PS, but allowed to come in if catastrophe hits the first 2????

Perhaps this article may answer some of your questions.

 

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/08/nflpa-nixes-emergency-third-qb-rule#ref=home

 

Also, from the Athletic:

Quote

Quarterbacks signed to a team’s practice squad will once again only be allowed to be elevated three times a season, as with other positions, before having to be signed to the 53-man roster or released.

 

The vetoed rule would have removed this stipulation and allowed a practice squad quarterback to, in theory, serve as the emergency third quarterback without ever having to be signed to the 53-man roster.

 

With the NFLPA’s veto, clubs could choose to keep an additional QB on their initial 53-man rosters.

Thanks!  That certainly changes things!   Going to need three, it seems.  And being that it just happened- that alters the leaked possible cuts!

 

I believe so.

Well apparently NFLPA vetoed the idea so it's a moot point now.

It's a timeless tradition on the Colts site. Remember Chad Kelly?

He is become quite polarizing in the CFL.  He is the best player in the league but he can't keep himself out of trouble.  He is a complete * but does have talent.  I suppose nothing different from what anyone was saying about him during his time here. 
He was just reinstated and played his first game back last week after a suspension for harassing a strength and conditioning coach. Pretty much on his last chance with the Toronto Argos, and with his success in the league and with that team it is really saying something. It must suck being his coach or OC!

I do not think that any team is going to cut a player to add the Colts 3rd team center.

Maybe, maybe not, but backup O-linemen are a hot commodity right now. Supply and demand are in Pinter’s favor.

A big run shopping S. Available because he is weak in coverage. We let his equal or better go.

Going off PFF he is overall better than the backups we have and his 60.1 rating in coverage is not a liability as much as the depth players we have now. I’m talking about making the overall depth better. Not suggesting he be a starter

    • Has all the makings of a trap game, unfortunately.   Love being out is getting the headlines, but the Colts might also be missing their best defensive player (DeFo), their best S (JB) and one of their starting ERs (Paye).   And one thing that might be overlooked is that while Willis hasn't passed well, he can run. We haven't seen this defense against a mobile QB like that since Week 3 of last year. In that game, Lamar went for 101 yards and 2 TDs on the ground.   So expect to see some designed runs from Willis and frustration when he converts 3Ds.   And after how HOU ran all over the Colts, GB might not even have to pass all that much, so Willis' deficiency as a passer is mitigated. And it's only going to be more difficult with key injuries/limited players on defense., including arguably their best two run defenders in DeFo and Paye.   GB is also a SB contender and need to get back to 1-1. This game ias at Lambeau Field, where GB has a really high winning % and have won 11 straight home openers.   I would love to see a blowout, but I think it's close. I will go with the Colts winning 20-17 because the offense can score just enough to win. And 0-2 would be a depressing start to the season.
    • Patience is a virtue.  They were banging on Fries right out of the gate.  Not all players will work out and all players do not develop the same.  We all know that.
    • I wonder what Gus's excuse is for playing 5 yards off man ON THE GOALINE.     I mean cmon....Like Lombardi said, it was a high school play.  
    • They are due for it. But the Ravens and Texans will also be in play.   It will be those Top 4 dogs in play for the SB from the AFC when it is all said and done - Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Texans
    • That's because those are the only years I looked at to make the list.  I'm sure I'd find plenty of Patriot trades and FA pickups in the late 90s, too.   The reason I looked only at their dynasty years is because I was responding to the suggestion that dynasties have to be built from within.  And I just don't think that's the case.   In fact, I'd go farther to say there's no such thing as an NFL team that's been built entirely through the draft and UFDAs.  It may be the case that dynasties like the Brady-era Pats were less engaged in free agency and trades than other teams.  But to say that they stayed away from FA and trades just isn't correct.   That said, I do agree that it all starts with the franchise QB.  And I'd also agree that few franchise QBs have been acquired from elsewhere (at least for their prime).  There are some notable exceptions (Steve Young, Drew Brees, and Warren Moon come to mind).  But they're mostly drafted.
