What does INGO think?

Will the Colts franchise tag Michael Pittman Jr?
Sign him to a big extension? Let him walk in free agency?

Definitive answer from Ballard

Not sure how I feel about this honestly. The human element of the game is part of it.

I've kind of wondered why this hasn't happened sooner. Tracker in the ball, with a system capable of tracking it with the needed accuracy/precision.

I see it as analogous to the backboard lights connected to the clock, it eliminates the human error…

We know Ballard is a big RAS guy. Lots of speculation in the local media that this will be pick 15 if he’s available.

I'm all for this.

Heck, add IOT sensors in the footballs, to get precise ball placement.

The glut of WRs in this years draft should quell any real discussion regarding whether Ballard would even consider trying to move up for MHJ. He's not. Doing so would be malfeance. Just accept it.

The Scouting Combine has been an Indianapolis tradition for decades.

Speaking of wide receivers, this was interesting.

“Nacua wasn’t great in the traditional tests of athleticism that the NFL has relied on for decades, recording a 4.57-second 40-yard dash. But the player tracking data showed he was the fastest receiver at last year’s Combine in running through the gauntlet drill, in which a receiver runs across the field and catches seven passes in rapid succession. According to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, Nacua reached the fastest speed of any wide receiver during last year’s gauntlet drill at 20.06 mph. That tipped teams off that Nacua plays faster than he runs, something that Nacua proved in his rookie year.”

Player tracking data gains value at the Combine after Puka Nacua stood out last year

Timing of players at the Scouting Combine isn't just done with stopwatches.

Kudos to Ballard for not giving up a ton for this guy. Has to be one of the worst trades ever right?

I think there are too many games already. Towards the end of the article is the reason it will probably go to 18 though, betting. Legalized betting is taking over sports. I find it ironic that Pete rose is banned from baseball for betting, but gambling is an actual sponsor of most professional leagues now

Franchise tag deadline is today at 4pm. I expect some Pittman news today.

Guaranteed, there will be news either of a long-term deal or franchise tag.

Lot of good veteran safeties being released. I would definitely expect the Colts to be in that market.
