Couple #Colts roster moves:

-Signing linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. 5 years with Lou Anarumo (11 starts). 13 starts in Ariziona last year.

-Signing former IU receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. 137 career catches in 6 years. 11 catches in 15 games last season with Miami.

NWI is a solid pro. Never flashy, but makes the catch when called upon. I wonder if he has anything left in the tank, though.

The #Browns have submitted a rule proposal to allow draft selections to be traded up to five seasons in the future.

Davis-Gaither is the Pratt replacement.

It certainly seems as if the primary objective is to help Lou reunite with a shitload of his guys. Makes a fuck load of sense right, I mean they were just very recently one of the most scored on defenses in history. Seemingly genius plan!

I think it was Puck that said Lou loves him some vets. This morning they were talking about how Lou has a lack of trust in young guys. Yeah, that fits totally fucking on with Ballard's end of season presser declaring we had to get younger and faster on defense. Rare is the 28-34 year old man that is faster than he was at 22-23.

This team never makes sense, never.

I've heard quite a bit about the Colts trying to trade for Jonathan Greenard. That appears to be one of the main plans.

So Lou gonna give us his version of George Allen's 'over the hill' gang? Honestly it worked for Allen maybe it can work for Lou 40 years later. For me personally, and I was always a fan of the teams Allen put on the field, this would actually be something to root for and look forward to seeing how it could work out. Low chance of working but still a chance, that's all I need. It would be a plan, not just throwing shit at a dartboard. Hope it is true. Hope it works if it is true.
