I will say I have a some amount of crow to eat on one thing. I thought the Brissett/Dorsett trade was awful for the Colts, and while I still hate the idea of trading a former first round pick who I believe still has some promise, Brissett is miles ahead of any of the QBs the Colts had. So in that sense it was a good trade.

Richardson says hello. I didn't get the idea for drafting a Dorsett in the 1st round not named Tony.

Failing in 1st round picks sets an organization back I think we are seeing this more evident.

What is even more sad is free agency is full of too many players that got paid and not playing quality football.

He wont be but I think he has to be. You can't keep treating the first half of the season as if you're on a fishing trip and keep your job.

I won't argue with upgrading the oline ever. I just see the league is having problems developing linemen.

I also don't think he is nearly as bad as people make him out to be

I know there are a lot of issues here but one thing I couldn't get out of my
mind is that we need a culture change at WR. They don't handle getting
pressed at the line of scrimmage, don't get the separation they should, have
poor recognition and rarely fight for the ball. I think it's a group that's
living off past press clippings and needs to be shaken up.

When they are good they also become expensive to keep. Play him a RT if someone better comes along.

I think Ballard sees it that way as well, which is why he brought in Aiken and traded Dorsett. Ballard likes bigger bodies at receiver.

Hooker played well despite having a clear hitch in his step. You have to like a rookie stepping up and pushing through an injury when the rest of the secondary is beat up.

He does work down the street from my home. Many times I thought of kidnapping him.

Not so sure about drafting a LT in the first unless it's seriously a can't miss prospect. Too many busts and disappointments across the league at that spot. College tackles just aren't ready for the pro game anymore. Too much to learn. I haven't looked at FA yet but I hope we can buy some OL and then find good prospects to develop (with a new coaching staff) from the draft.
