Seeking6 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Deandre Hopkins asking price must be ridiculous if the final 2 teams are the Titans and Patriots....both of which are nowhere near title contention or even division contention. Seems weird that all the QB's that Hopkins listed on that initial podcast.....not one single team has an interest in him which tells me he thinks he should be paid like a top 5 still.

Seeking6 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Just FYI....Colts released practice schedule for August. Couple of joint practices including with Bears. Free tickets while they last. For those that want to see NFL players up close it's a good time and it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 NFL is showing the 1995 AFC Championship game with the Colts vs Steelers. This game brings back great memories but some agonizing ones as well. That was the first year where the Colts did anything in the playoffs since moving here. That year was so enjoyable with so many great comebacks by Harbaugh. He wasn't even the starter to start the season because Craig Erickson was the opening day starter. I was at the opener against the Bengals and after Erickson's third INT they brought Harbaugh in and made a comeback to force OT but lost. Second game the same thing but Harbaugh brought us back from 24-0 and won at the Jets. There were 3 plays if the Cts made we would been in the Super Bowl 1) Cordell Stewart TD catch shouldn't have counted. He stepped out of bounds and was the first one to touch the ball. No replay at that time. 2) Colts up 16-13 with under 5 minutes to go. Colts had 3rd and 2 inside their 25. A sweep was called for Lamont Warren to the left side. It was blocked great and a wide open whole in front of him but someone on the backside dove and tripped him up. It not tripped it would have been a 80 yard TD run. 3) After we punted Pittsburgh got to mid field and they tried a slant and Coryott jumped it and the ball hit him right in the hands but dropped it. It was a sure TD and would if sealed the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a Sunday morning pre kickoff show with all the guys bets. Would be super entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Wasn't sure where to throw this one because it impacts all sports but ESPN laying off dozens of people again. Pretty high profile folks too. On the NFL side....Suzy Kolber, Steve Young, McShay...plenty of others too.

They get rid of Alphonso Ellis but keeps Walton. I guess Stephen A Smith will have a lifetime contract even though he is the worst thing on ESPN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't, though. Diggs literally played into it. Stefon chose the dramatic route. Poor guy thinks he's an off cord. All he had to do was not tweet like an idiot. Seems very simple for a 30 year old All Pro. This is on Diggs. Edited July 9, 2023 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 For those getting the NFL itch. Quarterback on Netflix is a good one. Hard to believe or remember the Colts beat the Chiefs in Week 3 this past year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a respectful... like literally, as respectful as I can possibly say this... Yes you're out of touch. DE is #2 most important postion on a football team, any team. And DT is crazy underrated in importance. I guess that is all an opinion, but .. I think I could back that up with some serious data if I wanted to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some of these RB's get paid but it doesn't seem likely. I'm not sure what the right move is either. Maybe during next CBA shorten the initial contract for RB's from 4-5 years to less? I've seen that suggested. They just get eaten up and replaced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't think that position is important then try playing without one.

I mean look at the Chiefs....they cycle in guys like crazy. It's tough. Some of us were raised on RB's.....but now they almost just eat up salary cap space. Colts will have a tough call with JT.

Anyone who thinks the Colts should let Taylor go is an idiot. He is your best player and your only playmaker. He is the only one who can take a 5 yard gain I to a 80 yard TD. You can't rely on going 75 yards on 13 plays every possession. He is only 23 years old and has at least 4 more good years in front of him. I think he is terrible seeing a 3rd receiver making more than the top RB's in tbe game. I would offer Taylor 3/39 or 4/52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be viewed as a preemptive move or maybe a move on the cheap but if the Colts love JT (which they should) I'd approach him with a cap friendly deal this year. He can always decline but RB's are bent over right now and they know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
