That’s quite a bit less than a ringing endorsement of Wentz. Which is encouraging.
If they try starting Pryor at left tackle I’m going find Ballard and kick him in the balls. |
His tone when he discussed Wentz would not make me comfortable if I were Wentz. From Wentz' previous history of being so mentally fragile it will be interesting to see how the douche reacts. It sound like no decision on Wentz has been made (a good thing) but I would guess that Ballard is leaning towards cutting him (just my take) but how Wentz reacts will have a huge bearing on it. Ballard took a chance, knew it was a chance and it didn't work out as any of us wanted.

I'm starting to get tired of Ballard. It's been five years and we haven't even won the division. We're turning into the Pacers.

Dude loves him some Big Lots furniture and isn't concerned that the table legs snap after 3 months of use. He needs to go too. |
thanks for putting that together. I watched/listened and my takeaways were:
Ballard (and probably reich) are not happy with the wentz experiment. The "make the layups" comment was very telling imo. He mentioned asking the honest and hard questions, about stability at QB position and although its a team game that particular position is crucial. On the flip side, ballard also talked about our rush to cancel someone based on a failure and not to make emotional decisions. This makes me think they will take a hard look at replacing wentz but will most likely come down to what options are available to them. He is scared of burning JT out. Mentioned that to win the QB will need to make passes, cant strictly rely on run game. Also specifically talked how hines needs more touches, even quoted numbers. The comments on LT means to me they will not be handing fisher a long term contract. I did not really like his comments on the receivers. He seems to think more highly of the non-pittman receivers than many of us. I thought the moment he mentioned Luck, quickly realized the situation and joking said he wont field any questions, was pretty humorous. Although he said there will not really be a FA philosophy change, I felt like he realizes he may need to dip into that well a bit more. |
Haven't listened yet, but just reading the excerpts... I'm glad he seems firm on Reich and Nelson, acknowledges Wentz being an issue not worth committing to, and seems to acknowledge Fisher isn't the answer at LT.

I think Chris Ballard read Donnie Walsh's book entitled "Owners Love Winners, Even Without Championships"!:D
