I realize that I'm acting like a shit right now but, to me, cutting Ismael is yet another example of this organization letting an under-achieving player stick around for several years when they should have known much sooner that he didn't have what it takes to fill a role on the team. I bet you could name some other players of that ilk who are still in the organization.

The coaching staff and the front office need to drop their player development hubris and sign veterans who can do now what they need done now. Time is up! I'm tired of losing.

Thanks for that breath of fresh air. I hope they read this.

Since the Bostic signing I have been quite doom and gloom, and maybe one signing shouldn't impact my thinking that much.

But let's not (including me) forget they have acquired a legit starting QB, drafted for another one that could develop into a starter, found an explosive RB, put together a solid Oline with quality depth, created a young an promising receiving corps etc...

There are reasons to hope we well be trending in the right direction (which is why I hope lack of depth at CB and questionnable LB squad don't come to bite us in the A).

I agree that these are good things. The problem is they are all on offense. I think we will have a very good offense.

But on defense, our depth just flat out sucks. If all 11 starters play all 17 games, I think we're OK. But that's not realistic.

Even on Defense, I think this roster has more talent than has been showed on the field (that's why I think JDR has to be on a hot seat), our depth at LB and CB sucks, badly, but at DE, DT, and S we have very decent quality depth IMO. You can't have 4 top quality starter level players for every spot.

Not with that attitude. I kid. I think our offense has good starters and quality depth.

I'm confident in our front 4 on defense and our depth.

Our back 7 starters on defense are serviceable. But I have zero confidence in our back 7 depth at any position. Anyone goes down, and it's a guaranteed weakness imo.

Very good to see. Kerrigan is still fairly young and could have a bright future in coaching. He was a stud and hard working his whole career. I knew when he was at Purdue, he was going to be great. Hope he makes a positive impact on the dline and team.

If Blake Martinez is a available, we should obviously be interested right? There is really no excuse unless it’s a bidding war for his services

You would think so, but who the hell knows when it comes to this team

[SunnySide]

I imagine there are a bunch of teams inquiring about Martinez

.. but why wasnt he and his 1 yr 3.5M contract traded?

Why didnt we (or someone else) offer a 6th for Martinez and a 7th?

Would love Martinez, ease him in (acl).

Yeah we're essentially saying the same thing. I'd only make a difference between:

LB we're not sure of our starters and if one goes down we're doomed < CB our starters are good but if one goes down we're effed < S our starters are ok (McCain is a ? to me but I think part of it is disconnection in the secondary) and our back ups aren't that far off behind (Forrest is a hard hitter, rookie Butler looked promising in PS, and Reaves is a decent back up).

I'd put our starting CBs above our starting Ss (cuz of McCain) but our back up Ss above our back up CBs.

This current team seems to be set up like the Peyton Manning Colts of years ago...meaning the offense needs to score early and often to make the other teams offense one dimensional, because their D couldn't stop anyone...they just hoped their good pass rushers could get after the QB and wreak some havoc, and mainly you just hope you can outscore everyone. Problem is...they don't have Peyton Manning.

This man is hated by everyone and I don't see why...

The COLTs get their adoration from Peyton Manning. He could do no wrong to them and from the time he left and they got Reich, they pinned those "repeat" hopes on him as their Head Coach. I was in Indy for nearly two decades and ALL of the Manning Years, Coach Caldwell, as well after Dungy, for whom I spoke with a few months here in NC. They IDOLIZED This man like Koby to LA and Jordan to Chicago. Mark Rypien tried to repeat it, nothing doing, and on and on. When Wentz showed up, they had hoped he'd rekindle the magic Philly had, when unfortunately Wentz went down. I think people rushed him and made excuses for their OWN failures.

Wentz doesn't play Defense Indy. Just because he failed on a throw (oh you mean, like Unitas with SD when he left the Colts, Tarkenton, when he left the Giants, or Manning's first year failing at the SB for Denver, or his repeat for Indy (he's 2-2). Don't forget Montana getting stumped in the AFC Championship game. Oh should I add,
Bret Favre at Minn, Kurt Warner in that "last try?"/

Yet for all the man did to even come back to play, you pinned your failing loss of a TEAM on ONE Man in a game I watched them out smart you and YOUR BELOVED COACH. Stop blamming others for what was done. Look at yourselves.

Why is is Rambling. You don't like Wentz say so., why the attack on ME. Where am I rambling???
This is why I left places like this a decade ago. Some of the kids don't appreciate HISTORY, just want the bling.
