  1. I get thay part of it. But you need high end signings to balance it out to be among the best.

    However, ill not be mad about a 100+ tackle guy. Like you said, that's a solid floor.

  2. “Signed a receiver who has torched them in the past”

    Respectfully, lots of receivers who shouldn’t have been able to accomplish that feat, did. That’s truly not saying much.

  3. When a staff just keeps signing former players they coached, it just indicates that they cannot intelligently judge the field. And as to Nick W-I, his drop rate last season was over 20%!!! That's the last guy you want on the field as a receiver. Yes, low level signings are necessary, but ideally they are made ONCE YOU GET THE HIGH LEVEL SIGNINGS. Haven't seen any of those who were not on last year's roster. Unless and until that changes, pessimism is warranted.

  4. Ballard is going to be gone. He doing nothing to save his job. It sounds like he giving our defense coach his guys so he should go as well because most people are picking us 3rd or 4th in the division

  5. Westbrook did not play under Anarumo in Cincy….Receiver has nothing to do with defense….DC has nothing to do with the receivers ….

  6. These are good signings. Colts had zero depth last year on defense and that really hurt them with the injuries. Like zach said these are necessary signings that raise the floor and provide very needed depth

    Draft 2 LBs and trade for an edge and then we are really talking

  7. Be patient. Another higher end receiver will be signed and either Edge or DE. Nick W. I. is not a solution to the WR issue and they aren’t stupid. They know he is simply depth.

  8. I've been wanting to say for a while, that locked in on your team graphic. You know how it shakes a little. Can you ask the graphics team if we can add a little sound to that shake? It needs a little sound with that shake.
    Of course, the locked in podcasts are for all teams around the league. The sound wouldn't be exclusive to the Colts. But it could make sense. Figure I suggest that question to ask to the locked in team.

  9. Came down to the colts and ravens???? Colts were never close to getting Hendrickson!!!! I feel dumber having to watch 2 minutes of this video!!! Just because u can make videos doesn’t mean u should!!! Ur dumb and the people commenting r dumb. Colts suck period

  10. Didn't everyone say the reason Anarumo's Cincy defenses fell off was because of lack of defensive investment. We then sign some of those said players. This is Groundhog Day folks

  11. Anaroumo is a cancer. Keeps bringing in his guys who were failures at his last stop.

    What a garbage coach he is.

    Davis gaither gave up 6 TDs in coverage and a 127 rating last year. Hes worse than franklin was. Think about that.

  12. I like what the Indianapolis colts are doing. I have gut feeling we will be seeing a lot of linebackers – focused on defensive in this year draft . He mention he wants to get younger; a key here you should be excited about is Fisher – a former Curt cignette player who I think fits the colts. He has the leadership & and pressure on a qb

  13. Wonder how everyone would feel about trading AR and a 5th round pick for Sweat? I think there's a world where that could be a key move for them.
    Even better… Do that deal and sign Okereke. I know, I know. Lol
