I know this against Ohio, but Arvell Reese just absolutely rag dolling this tackle with a long arm stab and shed is absurd
There are just enough degrees of separation here that make me think this is realistic haha
If I'm the Colts GM, I'm attacking the defensive side of the ball in FA.
I don't think you're finding a ton of starters on offense (aside from a new, 1y placeholder QB) that you'd put in your long term plans. They're going to have to hit with some Day 2 picks there.
Playing contrarian- Setting aside the idea of resigning Nelson as a team building strategy through a rebuild, one I'd endorse, I think the exploding guard market and a league wide re-emphasis on running the ball should have warranted higher compensation than historical precendent
This is the actual exciting part imo. It’s such a blank slate that there are nearly endless avenues to pursue for a new GM.
Personally I’d go after guys who flashed on their rookie deals but maybe didn’t put it all together. Structure them to give you flexibility if they flop.
This is a fair point. I think it’d be wise to take a shot on a few guys you think could break out and come in at the 15-18 APY range this FA cycle.
The Comp pick would end up being a 5th or something in that scenario
Yup. I figured they’d hold onto him and try to extend him. You hold onto talented OL, especially one of Nelson’s caliber, even through a rebuild.
The comp being what it is makes me think there had to be some type of knowledge league wide he wasn’t interested in resigning.

Colts D vs Vikings Pt. 2:
Tomi with another quick win against Darrisaw to muck things up in the B gap so that Jones has to bounce right to the filling ADG
JTT brought it against the run, and honestly so did ADG. Both of them defeat blocks on this counter run to keep Jordan Mason to a short gain.
Colts v Vikings D Thread Part 1:
Vikings run what looks like split zone and Tomi just wins against the downblock of the RT to blow it up.
Welcome in Germaine Pratt! Coverage ends up looking like Tampa 2, but both Pratt and ADG are running the pole, leaving nobody in the flat. Luckily KM has an inexplicable miss here, or else this would have been a chunk. Maybe it's 2-roll since ADG walls, but somebody is wrong.
