ILoveTheVikings Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Maybe he'll have a bounce back year but he honestly was the worst starting CB (not counting CB's who barely played) in the league last year. That isn't me coming across as jaded or anything, he really was the worst CB in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many penalties did he have that resulted in a first down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, we shouldn't be allowed to have opinions on FA moves. It's not like sites like this are used to express opinions. OK everyone don't express any opinions on any players until after the SB next year. Edited March 28, 2020 by bomont 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct all the Rivers signing does is give them false hope as he's a short-term answer at best and well on the decline. Really I guess it's mostly that and the Rhodes signing, but the way people are talking they're SB contenders. I see a pourous secondary, iffy aging QB, and injury-prone, thin WR corps. I have nothing against them but I don't see a contender, at best a tease who will just give them lower draft picks next year to really rebuild in the wake of the post-Luck era.

JAF-N72EX Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Saying Rhodes was bad last year is an understatement. Not just on the stat sheet but watching the games as well. Rhodes allowed a 2nd career high (first since his sophomore year) in TD's allowed with 4, a career high 75% completion %, an extremely high career 9.5 yard per target (he avg 6.2 from 2015-2018), a tied amount low of just 6 passes defense, and a career high 7 missed tackles. He did have a career high in tackles for losses with 6 though. That said, he was always a solid player and for his play to drop off that quickly and as steep as it did.....I have a hard time believing that this past season wasn't closer to being an anomaly than it was to being the expected norm for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's why it's just a one year deal. It's good for both people. He gets a chance to prove last year was a fluke and they have a chance to possibly get a good cb on the cheap. 7 hours ago, bomont said: Correct all the Rivers signing does is give them false hope as he's a short-term answer at best and well on the decline.

Who would you rather they signed? The draft is still ahead and this class has a really deep wr group. They can still get their qb of the future in this draft. Plus Rock Ya Sin and Moore are really good cb's. Sin started off with a lot of issues but he corrected them towards the end of the year. Plus he was a rookie. He's going to get better and Moore is one of the best slot cb's in the league. I agree about the wr's though. It's their weakest position right now. I just think you saying Ballard has fallen off because he signed a qb they think could possibly give them a chance to compete this year and a player for a one year deal is a little bit of an over-reaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the season, Chris Ballard was asked about Brissett and the future of the QB position. Ballard said that if you take the wrong QB you could set the team back 4 years. The trading of the #13 overall pick and the signing of Rivers tells me that he doesn’t want to give up the capital to move up to get his QB and isn’t thrilled with the other QBs in the class that could be available. I wasn’t a big fan of the Rivers signing because I don’t know he is that much of an upgrade over Brissett but it’s only a one year deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Another weird signing for Indy. At least it's a prove-it deal. Odds are Xa is washed up, but then there's a reason why I'm not a betting man. You never know in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhorse Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) It has been a long time, since my team valued the LB and interior D-line positions. Ballard has drafted more LB's than any other position since he took over. I think that the entire Colt secondary will benefit from the additions of Buckner, and Day. He now has some legit strength and power defending the A and B gap. I expect a top 5 O-line ranking, and a top 15 defensive ranking. We'll see.

I heard he was limited by a hamstring which for a CB is crippling. Desir is also elite in the run game though which helps. Head scratcher why INDY would dump Desir for Rhodes IMO. I'm happy considering my Keys were desperate for decent CBs. Much better chance that Desir bounces back. I remember think Tru would bounce back last year too under his old coach and we saw how that worked.
