No doubt, and normally I would have been out doing something productive like yard work or errands. But since I was feeling not so chipper I decided to lay down on the couch w/ the game on. Glad I turned it on b/c it was fun to watch us curb stomp them, even if it was both our JV teams playing.

Hard to read anything into it but man Leonard does look good

Yeah he did! That 59 yard TD pass to Treadwell is the most well executed pass play I've seen from the Colts in a long time. For those who missed it:

I didn't watch, but Goncalves is interesting and warranted if he needs more looks in pass pro as a guard.

Curious how long he and Brents were in there.

A quick Google AI search says that Goncalves and Brents played 15 and 22 snaps respectively. So if correct then that would be the first 2 series for Goncalves and 4 for Downs.

Maybe (big maybe) he can develop into a solid starter, but it was against scrubs on a team whose starting defense is one of the worst in the league. Definitely a promising start, but he is also a project, and not going to beat out Jones, at least this year.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that Leonard will be our starter anytime soon. At least I'm certainly not. I'm just giving credit where credit is due, b/c he played great. Granted it was against backups on a presumably bad D, but you have to remember he was playing with backups as well.

And speaking of playing great Treadwell was awesome yesterday. Would love to see us find a way to keep him, but realistically speaking I'm sure he'll get caught up in a numbers game and played well enough to be signed to the 53 on another team.

Yeah, Leonard was impressive. Hell of a lot better than Bean.

Treadwell is a guy who always seems to make plays when he’s in there but can never really stick for whatever reason. He’s a good guy to have around as a backup.

Agree, but unless we keep 7 WRs we're going to have to release him. So unless we have a surprise cut the only way we keep him is if we're able to sign him to the PS, but after the day he had yesterday I highly doubt that no one picks him up.

If a team's WR room has been decimated by injuries, yeah, some team could pick him up. But I don't see many teams rushing to sign him to their active roster...at least not at the beginning of the season. I think most would rather let him sign back with the Colts practice squad (assuming he wants to sign with the Colts practice squad and not another team's PS) and if injuries happen later, any team could always poach him from the practice squad if he is still there.

I hope you're right and we can sign him to the PS, but I'm sure someone thin at WR (Tits, 9ers as discussed, etc.) will pick him up.

Titans are desperate for WR help.

Aren’t the niners too?

I changed jobs this Fall, so I am out of the loop, too. I get Nashville radio where I live, and listen to sports talk. They said the Titans are likely to be watching cuts for WR options, as theirs suck. Same for TE cuts.
