The Colts have their man. Indianapolis has officially hired Shane Steichen as head coach, signing the Eagles offensive coordinator to the dotted line Monday night, the day after Philadelphia’s heartbreaking 38-35 loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII. The Colts will formally introduce Steichen in the coming days, giving Indianapolis its first chance to hear the new coach’s plans. Steichen, the youngest Colts coach in Indianapolis history at age 37, was first revealed as the team’s top target at noon on Super Bowl Sunday, after it was reported the team notified the rest of a deep pool of candidates that the Colts had made a final decision. ...

ragdoll Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Still wonder about Eric Bieniemy being a perpetual bridesmaid, even after 2 SB wins in 3 SB games in five years after replacing former Bears coach Matt Nagy as OC. Is it lack of credit and too much credit for Mahomes or something else (and no need to bring up way distant past)? Seems strange to me. Did Irsay and Ballard ask him in the interview a hypothesis of what if you are down to Sam Ehlinger in the game and he has a bad leg and reduced to being a pocket passer with Pittman and Pierce out and Bieniemy stated, "Ehlinger on one leg missing our top two receivers and that line from this past season? Hell, no!" Edited February 15 by ragdoll grammar correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, no!" Either he is bad at interviews...like REALLY bad, or he just does not show real interest in changing jobs. If he stays put, Mahomes makes him look like a genius for a few more years at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muda69 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Colts sign Rams' Matt Gay to biggest free agent deal ever for a kicker: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2023/03/14/colts-sign-rams-matt-gay-to-biggest-fa-deal-ever-signed-by-kicker/70006200007/ Quote The Colts have made their first big outside signing of free agency. And although the signing comes as a surprise, given the emergence of Chase McLaughlin last season and the team’s lack of outside signings at other positions of need so far, the move solidifies a position that hasn’t been settled since Adam Vinatieri was at full strength. Seventeen years after prying Vinatieri away from the Patriots, Indianapolis has agreed to sign Rams kicker Matt Gay to a four-year deal worth up to $22.5 million, according to Gay’s agent, David Canter. Gay, whose average per year salary checks in at $5.625 million, will be paid more on an annual basis than any kicker in the NFL other than Baltimore’s Justin Tucker, a five-time All-Pro who checks in at $6 million per year. ...

Muda69 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Colts release QB Matt Ryan, freeing up $17 million in salary cap space:https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2023/03/14/colts-release-qb-matt-ryan-freeing-up-17-million-in-salary-cap-space/70002832007/ Quote For the third consecutive offseason, the Colts are saying goodbye to a starting quarterback long before originally planned, underscoring the futility of the franchise’s prior approach and the need to find a long-term solution at the game’s most important position. Indianapolis is releasing Matt Ryan after just one disastrous season, a league source told IndyStar on Tuesday, in a move that frees up $17,205,882 of cap space and takes on $18 million in dead cap. The Colts had three days left to make the move; Ryan’s salary would have become fully guaranteed on March 17, eliminating the possibility of any cap savings for Indianapolis. Releasing Ryan has long been expected. ... Another QB mistake gone. Is there really a QB savior for the Colts in this year's draft? Or should they go after Mr. Rodgers?

Is there really a QB savior for the Colts in this year's draft? Or should they go after Mr. Rodgers? No to AR.....they have more holes than a QB and he knows the Colts are not SB ready. He has a very short window and he's saying he's going to the Jets. My guess is that they are freeing up $$ for the draft, trades or perhaps Lamar.

Coach Nowlin Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Have some unique perspective on Beimemy, as I have a real good friend who is good friends with Chiefs former QB coach, who is in NY last year and didn't have a lot of great things to say about Biememy from his time with KC. Interesting enough, same coach interviewed for all 6 NFL openings and had some interesting things to say about 3 teams for sure: Arizona, Colts, and Texans. Believe it or not Texans he felt were really well ran organization now that they got rid of some guy a year ago, they had their stuff together and could see them make huge steps moving forward. Colts interview, was told he couldn't do anything with the defense or special teams and that those staffs were locked in and couldn't be touched. Arizona, DUMPSTER FIRE. New Owner was an idiot, literally asked the coach this question, "What are your thoughts on President Trump". Then called him a midwest liptard, assuming he was being from Chicago, then went on for 90 mins about politics, turns out his best friend is current speaker of the house, he couldn't get out of their fast enough. Literally, NFL owner and that is what he is doing, smh, sad really 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring me Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker It’s the injured guy. See it now? While Chris Ballard was thinking about the 2023 season and beyond, while he was trying to tell us his quarterback plans in that chesty way of his, we all took the bait on Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud or even Anthony Richardson. We took it hook, line and sinker. Rather: Hooker, line and sinker. It’s Hendon Hooker of Tennessee. He’s the guy. Don’t you see? ...
