Colts cuts to 53

[DrSpaceman]

Its a weak, young team right now.

8-8 will be a big accomplishment this season

I am not thrilled with Ballard so far. Has been a mixed bag for the most part, but I just don't understand some of the cuts and lost players on D this past season or saving so much in cap space right now.

I wonder how much has to do with keeping Pagano for a year beyond Grigson. Would have made much more sense to clean how all at the same time. I am sure that was an Irsay decision. It did put Ballard as well in a tough spot for one year, wondering what to do with the roster last year.

Ultimately much of how we judge Ballard will be based on how the draft picks pain out because that is how he is choosing to build. If he refuses to use cap money on big free agents AND proves he can't draft well, its another bad choice for GM.

Thus far it appears he whiffed on Quincy Wilson and Tarell Basham, not a good start. Maybe they will surprise us though. And the kick returner he drafted can't even hold onto the ball after a punt, let alone return it.

Its going to be a long season.
