[Colts to sign Josh Cribbs?/Welcome aboard Josh Cribbs (merge)]

Haven't had this much interest in the return game since the Clarence Verdin days.

[luck v manning (Merge)]

If I had to pick one at the 2 1/2 year point in their careers I would take Manning for his ability to diagnose a defense, but I would make sure to invest in decent defensive players too.

[LUCKS RIVAL]

Ryan Leaf...oh wait...wrong QB.  ;)

[Is it any co-incidence that the 2 teams that got to the AFCCG got there because of their OL?]

I just hope we add the right pieces on both sides of the line in the off season.  If it wasn't for our fortunate draft pick in Andrew Luck our rebuilding period would be much further away.  It's amazing to think we've gone 11-5 the last two seasons with a roster that really doesn't have a ton of talent.  I am just concerned that we've traded away (Richardson) our chance of  finding someone who could contribute right away in next year's draft.

[First time ever]

I respect your point of view, but I want to see Peyton with another ring.  I just wish it was with the Colts.

[Mike Mayock]

I like Mayock, but sometimes he gets me scratching my head with his comments.  My favorite was when he was praising Mike McGlynn and called him a "mauler."

[Jon Gruden]

Interesting speculation, but I'll stick with what we have.

[Who do you hope the Texans draft with the #1 pick ?]

a bust

[Pats/Colts shaping up for AFCCG]

I am worried about the Jags this week.  The Bengals are the team that worry me the most in the AFC.

[DHB at RB (merge)]

DHB needs to sit, he can't create separation, he keeps trying to catch with his body and not his hands, and he has stone mitts.  I keep hearing that he stays extra for time on the jugs machine, but it doesn't seem to help. Give someone else a try

[Colts @ Texans Sunday Night Football Game Thread]

Why does Pep go conservative in obvious situations.

[Colts @ Texans Sunday Night Football Game Thread]

Time for a Mathis sack fumble.

[Colts @ Texans Sunday Night Football Game Thread]

The Colts don't look like they were ready for anything tonight.

[Colts Vs. Broncos Sunday Night Football Game Thread]

Vickerson should get a gameball from the Colts. That is if they win.

[Thoughts on DHB so far]

I am no expert, but it doesn't seem like DHB is able to create separation from the corner in man coverage.  He does well if he finds a spot in zone coverage.

[Forgotten Colts]

I remember really liking Mike Prior before he went to Green Bay.

[Forgotten Colts]

Don't know if any of these are repeats: Ben Utt, Randy Dixon, Matt Bouza, O'Brien Alston, Ray Donaldson, Jason Belser.

[Jerry Hughes Suggest Indy Didn't Give Him A "Fair Shot"]

to use a Ron Meyer-ism..."He was a ball in tall weeds."  He never looked comfortable on the field.

[Will Marvin be a first-ballot hof'er? [Merge]]

I think he should be first ballot, but I have my doubts whether he will be.  I do think he will make it in eventually.

[If you had to pick, which HOF inductee (class of 2013) would you want on your team?]

Ogden

[Will Reggie Get Re-Signed in 2015?]

Front office job in 2016

[Yahoo Ranks Colts #16 - Not a bad article though]

Good assessment of the team.  It will be interesting to see how well the defense gels and if the Colts are on the right track.  On paper it looks good, but I'll be eager to see how well they are doing halfway through the season.

[with powers now on IR for three straight seasons]

Powers might be one of those guys who excel in Cover 2 defense, but with the change in scheme this year he might not be able to make the adjustments.

[Among the Reasons we're a Big Underdog is this.....]

I think it's just ironic that the Patriots are now what the Colts use to be in 2003.

[Grigson: If You Can't Can't Make It As A Corner For The Colts, You're 'A Leper']

I think motivation and realization comes to people at different times. It could be the scheme and expectations that has Butler playing better. Look at Tim Jennings, I was never a huge Jennings while he played for the Colts, but he's an excellent corner for the Bears. He has the same talent, but why is he now a better player? I don't know if it's scheme, personnel, or he had an epiphany about the position. If Butler can undergo the same type of transition this year he will be a great NFL comeback story. With Powers out we are going to find out quickly if he had a one game fluke or has turned the corner.
