Sounds like it, but these kind of things never seem to work out as well as expected

True, but Suh only has a 1 year contract so I think he will be a beast for his next big payday.

Suh will probably end up playing NT.

Kevin Bowen
@KBowen1070
Some tidbits from sitting down with Chris Ballard:

-FWIW, Andrew Luck is still not throwing an actual NFL football
-#Colts went after some big name free agent
-Deeper personnel look

I'm listening to Kevin Bowen on Big Joe and Grady debrief his interactions with Reich in Orlando......a few sound bites (framed from the perspective of Kevin's takeaways from conversation but from also observing and interacting with him and others)

1. Coaching style will be aggressive, competent, well prepped, play to win....not not to lose. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
2. For a the first time Kevin is truly getting the sense that Colts leadership have confidence that Luck will be ready....i.e. Has really turned the corner
3. Even in the scenario that only 2 QB are taken in the top 5 picks of the draft and the other consensus top 3 non QB (Barkley,Nelson, Chubb) are taken, there is a "mystery 6th" non QB talent that Ballard thinks is a big time playmaker.....Kevin couldn't learn who that is but because of this he thinks it's very unlikely Ballard will trade back further than 6 unless he's on the clock and a QB needy team is willing to give up another huge haul a la the jets deal.

4. Forgot to mention re oline.....although Reich agrees that the line needs some new talent, Kevin's sense is that he's not more concerned about the oline over other talent gaps....Reich really believes that the scheme change, up tempo getting the ball out quicker is going to make a significant impact on reducing the number if sacks even with the same talent. THIS!! Completely agree with this! Can't be said enough times!!

My guess for the mystery 6th man is Denzel Ward. He's got the lookof a zone corner.

No one gets excited for a zone corner in the top 10.

And the Cowboys didn't play exclusive or even primary zone under Marinelli. They mixed their coverages. I expect Eberflus will do the same.
