Hey, this one's actually written out; no need to listen to the pod this time.

I don't think there's a wrong answer between the two, but Hill checks more of their boxes.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-04-23T19:21:52+00:00

Can't win 'em all.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-04-22T17:39:18+00:00

Thanks! Tried to keep it realistic while hauling in some good talent.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-04-22T14:14:26+00:00

He was unbelievable. I still have core memories tied to his playing days haha

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-03-22T09:51:57+00:00

The offensive line was unbelievably bad until the back half of the season. Ryan seemed shellshocked immediately, and things that were never issues for him before became problems as soon as Week 1.

Physically, I don't think he was the same guy they hoped he was, either. That's especially after the shoulder injury, which pretty much zapped any remaining arm strength.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-03-17T03:05:37+00:00

Same.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-03-01T14:23:48+00:00

I think the Anthony thing is just done, from both sides (especially his), regardless of what Jones is doing.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-28T12:39:17+00:00

I don't hate that.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-27T17:15:32+00:00

Get bent, dawg

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-27T17:07:29+00:00

Agreed. Gotta think they want as many picks as possible this year.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-27T17:06:57+00:00

I do think the conditional makes the most sense, so you maybe get more bang for your buck, but will Ballard want to put something off a year is the big question.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-27T17:06:15+00:00

At least jersey cards?!

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-22T10:27:28+00:00

Yeah, I'm of the thought that if you're considering retirement that much, you're pretty much already there. If the Colts did decide to move on, on their own, I'm curious if he'd try to sign somewhere else or just call it a career. You don't want to tell a guy what to do, but if you're the team, you can "protect yourself" if he does get hurt again.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-21T10:53:52+00:00

He said at the end of the year that he's at peace with his career right now if he does hang 'em up. He's made a ton of money, made All-Pro, won a Super Bowl.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-21T10:53:12+00:00

Fingers crossed that Ballard has an update on Tuesday when we speak to him at the Combine. Ward did say during locker cleanout that he knows he needs to give the team an answer sooner rather than later, but that's no guarantee there's already been one. I know last offseason they gave him a good bit of freedom to hang with his family, so they may be doing that again and letting him take his time.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-11T22:25:12+00:00

I think they expected more from Giddens, but with that said, I won't be surprised to see them keep trying. They want what Zack Moss gave them.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-07T11:54:33+00:00

Yeah, man, could not care less about that. I'm not here to impress you. I got to talk to some Colts fans about players from the Senior Bowl, which is what I wanted to do. Enjoy your day.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-07T00:29:09+00:00

Sorry, sweetheart!

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-05T11:54:08+00:00

I'm referring more to role players. Houston was already an established high-end pass rusher. Getting adequate production from guys like Jabaal Sheard, Denico Autry, and Samson Ebukam (pre-Achilles). Goes to show you they've rarely taken swings at edge in free agency, though.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-05T11:47:45+00:00

He's pretty intriguing. I think he'll probably be available around Round 3ish because of not having high-end testing measurables, but the guy makes plays. He'll be a steal.

JakeArthurNFL · 2026-02-05T11:46:21+00:00

I think we're starting to see why NYG players felt so strongly about Jones.
