The #Colts have hired GM Chris Ballard, formerly of the #Chiefs.

It's also been reported that Ballard might take the Chiefs' ST coach Dave Toub with him.

(I thought it deserved to have it's own thread for the people who aren't around much and will see it in the title.)

Speaks and Nnandi were pro ready to stop the run. Veach wasn’t bullshitting us about that. Here’s proof from last Sunday:

It won’t show up in the stat sheet but Nnadi blows up this run so Speaks and Hitchens can make the tackle. #JacobsEyeInTheSky #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/oRFHAltX5E

And as much as I didn’t like Speaks in September, he flashed some pass rush in the month Houston was out.

I actually think Speaks could be a decent player with time. The truth that nobody wants to admit is that a position like pass rusher isn’t going to have rookies ready year 1 unless you are a high draft pick like Bradley Chubb (most of the time).

Whose fault is that?

Probably the guy who brought in parker and scandrick to start.

Billay will ignore Dorsey’s 2016 draft disaster he failed miserably to retool the secondary with Eric Murray, KeiVarae Russell and DJ White.

It’s worth noting that Ward looks like he could be a steal too

Veach hasn’t been perfect by any means, but it’s not nearly as bad as CP’s retards pretend it is.

Besides, the guy brought us fucking Mahomes. If that doesn’t give you faith that he will have better off seasons down the line then I don’t know what to tell you.

Oh I forgot to add David Amerson to that list of talent Veach has brought in.

The disaster that landed us Chris Jones and Tyreek Hill?

Better than this years without Ford for alot of it or a healthy Houston and no Berry.

Dorsey likes to get good value on low character guys. Sometimes that goes good and sometimes bad.

Like most GM's, he's good when he gets to pick high and it's tough when he doesnt'.

According to which metric?

Pretty sure Houston played 16 games last year, they had about the same amount of Berry as this year as well.

Brought in to start? Good lord, they're making 2.5 million between the 2 of them. Thats vet minimum backup money.
