If you could bring back one former colt to the current colts roster, who would it be ?

[krunk]

Some of the guys in this secondary we may have to trot out against Denver I think I might want to call back Big Play Ray Buchannon for this weekend.

[GoColts8818]

Freemey in his prime or Big play Ray given our corner situation.  I also wouldn't say no to Faulk or Edge right now.

[crazycolt1]

Mike Curtis

 

[BOTT]

Freeney, with Glenn a close 2nd

[krunk]

If we lose anymore safeties might have to call back Jason Belser

[krunk]

For some of the linebacker issues I'd also get Mike Peterson on the phone.  Maybe even Marcus Washington too!

[jimmy g]

Bubba Smith, before he ruined his knee on a Downs Marker in the Pro Bowl.

[jimmy g]

If I'd said Colts Reciever Jerry Richardson, would he bring the team he owns now (Carolina Panthers)with him?

[Introspect]

MARSHALL FAULK in a second!!  Never should have been traded

[MackAttack]

Jeff Saturday .. Even though Ryan Kelly is the future we need immediate help on the line and Jeff Saturday is one of the best ever IMO

[Smoke317]

Hands down its Freeney.  Even when he didn't get the sack he caused enough havoc to disrupt opponent's passing attacks. Qb's never had the time they've recently had in the pocket. Never. His spin move was a thing of beauty. 

[ar1888]

Edgerrin James pre torn ACL. 

[Indi Warrior]

Have to go with Freeney. In my opinion, our pass rush is our weakest area which can cover up a lot of weaknesses on defense. It almost hurts not to say Sanders, but I think with Freeney constantly getting after the quarterback, he's a bigger impact player.

[BlueShoe]

Marshall Faulk.

 

Would say Peyton, but we have Luck.

 

On defense it would be a toss up between Tony Siragusa or Jeff Herrod.

Marshall Faulk.  Not a single doubt.

Only if he plays like he did for the rams. He didn't give full effort here

[Gavin]

Offensively- Edge, Faulk or Addai

Freeney in his prime no question.

Well I'll take one for each side of the ball...Glenn would get a hard look since we have struggled up front so much but I'd still have to take Faulk on offense because of how important the passing game has become and he is more of a dual threat guy. Edge was close but Faulk was legendary and since Dickerson's prime was in LA although he had some good time here I still think Faulk would do more for Luck. I could say we take Peyton and then imagine the trade offers we would get for AL.....like first rd picks for like the next 5 years....and throw in some seconds....could build a whole new team.....but that doesn't seem to be the spirit of the question.

 

On defense I would go with Dwight....we could use some better LBs still too...and of course Sanders would be legit...but now that they are testing for HGH I'm not sure he would stay on the field (just my opinion I've got no facts to back it). We could field a whole team of former guys on this defense....probably as they are now lol and still be better than what we saw last week. I've got hope we turn things around when we get healthy...I was happy when we brought in these new coaches to help the staff but man...Week 1 wasn't pretty.

If you want help on the line why not take Glenn?  A more premium position and he was a better tackle than Saturday was a center anyway.

[ColtfreakDVA]

Mike Pagel for nostalgia effect

[akcolt]

Duane Bickett he'd boost that OLB position. Then on O Marshall Faulk. Really I'd be pretty happy with Vontae coming back and not seeing TY nursing his knee

[open window]

Peyton manning I would alternate qb's like UT or may figure out how to run the anti-wildcat.

o- John Mackey....  him and DA would rule the world. 

d- Gino Marchetti... I like this quote about him in wikipedia "Marchetti's stellar play led to his being called by Sid Gillman, the Los Angeles Rams head coach, "(T)he greatest player in football. It's a waste of time to run around this guy's end. It's a lost play. You don't bother to try it."

'

Going old school Unitas to Berry, with Lenny Moore as RB & split wide as needed, I will just never forget him going out of backfield and just torching the DB , running by him and in stride skating the sidlines , & catching a perfect deep throw by Unitas for a 72 yard TD

[JColts72]

For D-Mike Curtis, For O-E. James

[Dark Superman]

Dwight Freeney for defense.

Offensively Edgerrin James pre ACL tear.

[SteelCityColt]

In my previous response I think I was drafting BPA and not for need....

 

If we're talking about filling the needs of the team now... it would have to be a in his prime Freeney.

Absolutely....we need him badly and his teaming with Mathis would ignite our defense on 3rd downs..

Id take him NOW..not in his prime

 

[Coltsfan1953]

Alan Ameche for the O.

[oldunclemark]

 Donald Brown. my man!

[Rackeen305]

Either the eraser (SS Bob Sanders), LT (Tarik Glenn), or QB Curtis Painter.

 

I say Curtis...

Colts Hall of Famer, Jim Parker, OL

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Parker_(American_football)

 

"From 1957 until 1962, Parker played as an offensive tackle. He was selected to five Pro Bowl teams in those six years. In 1963 Parker moved to the offensive guard position, as a favor to his college coach Woody Hayes, to make room for another former Buckeye, Bob Vogel. Parker was selected to three more Pro Bowls from the guard position.

Many consider Parker to be the greatest lineman to ever play pro football. Parker was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1973, his first year of eligibility. He was the first full-time offensive lineman so inducted. In 1994, Parker was selected to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team. In 1999, he was ranked number 24 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Football Players, second among guards behind John Hannah, and third among offensive linemen behind Hannah and Anthony Munoz, both of whom began their careers well after Parker retired.

For his 1984 book, The New Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football,^[2] Paul Zimmerman"polled 25 old-timers and asked them to name their candidates for 'best ever' offensive linemen," and Parker was among those listed, stating that Parker was "the best pure pass-blocker who ever lived. Knew all the tricks — the quick push-off, the short jab — that are legal now"

[Myles]

Jeff Saturday or Marshall Faulk.  

Arians would be OK too.

We traded a HOFer (who didn't seem to be giving it his all here) and wound up with a younger, cheaper HOFer in Edge.  I have my doubts that the 'triplets' would have been as good and exciting if it was Manning, Marvin and Faulk as opposed to Manning, Marvin and Edge.....

My vote would be Tarik Glenn...... move Castonzo to RT and our OL would be much better.

Because of my love for his game, my instincts are to go with EJ. But right now I will say Jake Scott.
