1). We have Andrew Luck. As far as I know he is healthy. You build your team knowing you have a top 5 qb in the league. Meaning that you can win quickly.

2). The build through the draft propaganda is annoying. Every team builds through the draft. That is the best and cheapest way to add talent. We aren’t doing something special here.

3). Hankins, simon and Anderson are talented football players. Cutting good players speaks directly against the competition mantra he tries to sell. Scheme fit isn’t an issue either. That is a lie.

4). I like that Ballard seems intent to build the lines. I agree with that. Not sure why he took the dudes he took but at this point I have no problem letting that play out.

5). Saving that much cash is asinine. You can use some to supplement the roster. Unless he thinks he can do what nobody has ever done and nail the draft every year. He will be lucky to get 2 really good players a year in the draft. Adding talent with the available cap space is just smart.

6). This roster, on paper, is unproven at best and a disaster at worst. That is just a fact.

I don’t hate Ballard. I don’t like that he is not taking advantage of all his resources and playing only one hand. He has a home run hitter in luck and he is asking him to bunt. That is my main issue.

And god damn shrek needs to stop editing my posts. I have never touched a post out of spite and never would. That has never been what this board was about. Shows his lack of integrity.

AGAIN on Hankins...... He came here because we ran a 3-4.... He said he would not play in a 4-3. I am assuming he had an out in the contract. That is exactly why he wanted out of NY.


Not sure why this is so hard to understand. Did you want him on the field to only play as a situational DT on goal lines and IF we go into a 3 front?

Hankins did well here but face it he was not a superstar. He was the best of a shitty line. Same with Anderson. I thought Simon would make the team, And now that we know Ballard was trying to trade him we should all be able to understand why he played so much. But again he was a star in a very vanilla D that hasn't shown any of their cards yet
