IU Scott Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 10 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: Same with Josh Downs. Not sure of severity but Steichen wasn't happy that Cross did that in a 7 on 7 drill. Hopefully Downs will be ok if not the Colts need to be looking to add a WR soon. The safety position is going to be the downfall of this team. Still can't believe he hasn't addressed this position at all in the off season. Cross has been a huge disappointment and we traf d up into the 3rd round to get him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF graded him 71.1 which would be an "above average" grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downs may not be healthy to start the season. Wouldn't hurt to take a flier on an experienced receiver when you have a young QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 We all know it's preseason but saw enough from Caleb yesterday to show he's light years ahead of Fields. Made the throws we need to see and the one thing I really liked is he stayed in the pocket. Fingers crossed we got one. PS...Thanks Carolina. You'll be the gift that keeps on giving for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nice to watch our QB actually go through his progressions effectively and not only use half the field/lock into one receiver. Like you said, it is only preseason, but all the Bears fans I know are giddy this weekend. Now if only our o-line can hold up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressures and sacks vs starters and 2nd units. Thanks Atlanta! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdgenhoosier Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 1 hour ago, IU Scott said: It looks like the Colts defense is just as bad as they were last year You’re making that judgment after a preseason game where the starters sat the vast majority of the game?

It’s more about who we are going to keep…. I am not freaking out about this one game. It is the things I have seen the last two years from a Gus Bradley's defense. It has to do with Ballard not doing anything with the safety position. It is bringing back the same players from the defense that finished 28th last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
