Yeah I know, I'm not begrudging the guy, just saying that making a cool million a year snapping a football, is good work. Not implying anyone could do it, I'm sure it's not easy and the pressure is on, because you may only need to screw up once to lose your job!

Personally though...I don't think Rhodes could carry Justin Snow's jockstrap!

Matt Overton never put a foot wrong either from what i can remember.

We have had some consistent Long Snappers over the past 20 years or so.

Offensive line depth looks scary

Offensive line depth IS scary. It’s downright brutal.

There’s no reason at all that Ballard didn’t bring in at least one or two veterans to compete.

Let's not start thinking logically about the OL. Ballard's crystal ball has assured him that not only will all of our starters improve upon the somewhat improvement of later in the year but that they will also remain healthy for the entire season. It also assured him that the whole Pryor/Pinter debacle was a slight malfunction and that it has been fixed now.

Yep, and it’s not just the depth. They have bizarre confidence that Fries can hold up for a whole season and that Kelly will not be the turnstile he was last year. No competition whatsoever for either of them.

Let me ask it again. What players should he have signed? Which draft picks should have been skipped in favor of an OL player?

Matt Overton work with special needs kids. There was a special needs cheerleader on the field for the halftime entertainment, and there was an issue getting her off the field and he swooped in, scooped her out of the chair and ran her off the field. West end of the endzone fans totally lost it, so did the girl.

I believe owns a event building just south of LOS.

Anyone know if the guy Pharaoh pinned was the same who hit Dulin?

As Brylok previously mentioned Risner would be a good pickup. Also, there were a bunch of OGs who went just after we picked Adebawore in the 4th, which included Chandler Zavala. I think it would have made sense to have gone w/ either Zavala or some other OG there.

But my arm chair GMing is neither here nor there. As I've said quite a bit: it's not my job to make the Colts better, it's Ballard's. And a big reason why the Colts sucked last year was b/c the OL was a complete shit show, which was his making. He even admitted that he made a big mistake with the OL. Sure doesn't seem like he learned anything from those mistakes though b/c the OL was clearly not a priority in the offseason . Hope his huge gamble to stand pat pays off, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

After watching what happened to Luck and what happened with the OL last year, for the life of me I can’t understand how any Colt’s fan can be happy with what Ballard did with the OL this offseason. Especially with a new rookie franchise QB under center. Other than picking which rookie QB to bet the future on, there was nothing more important this off season than the OL.
