They need to be cautious during training camp and the pre-season.  They need to be able to play when it counts.

I would LOVE a free agent D tackle without ankle issues

I wonder if he'll practice against the Lions. Or play Sunday.

Starters hardly play the first game. Maybe a series, but that's about it

mildly spraining an ankle is hardly having "ankle issues"

Your right.  It isn't, but.....

 

I completely get what he is saying.... it seems like our lines always have nagging leg injuries, not that other teams don't, but maybe a bit more for us. 

 

It is usually a system of biting nails, wishing, praying or whatever.... and hoping we can ...... just in one freaking game..... field a team that includes the people we have on our team that are supposed to make it a good team.  It would be fun.... just for once.

Definitely not Art Jones level, I would really just like a healthy team

It depends if he is 100% or not. He is a veteran so either game

isn't crucial as it would be for a rookie or a guy trying to make 

the 53.

Totally agree in theory here.

 

But have to say, today's Colts aren't near the old guys in terms of availability (I guess you can count the PM years as old since he's technically retired now).

We KNEW our guys would be there, they were that reliable in terms of rarely missing a start, let alone extended time.

 

I don't think there's much of that anywhere in the league nowadays. I actually expect injuries because we were lucky for a long time. I think our perspective is a bit skewed because of guys like PM,RW,EJ,MH,JS 

 

But I totally agree it's a lot of hoping each week.

The off-season is long you can workout all you want but it always takes at least a couple weeks to get your body back in football shape. Nicks and bruises are guaranteed especially in the trenches it's a dog fight in there
