  1. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2014/09/10/defense-pass-rushers-feel-pressure-robert-mathis-suspension-injury/15418211/

     

    "...the Indianapolis Colts returned to their practice facility on Wednesday after learning earlier this week that Mathis had suffered an Achilles' tendon injury while working out in Atlanta last week."

     

    I was hoping for something more specific.  Was he running/cutting, doing leg presses, etc.?

  2. I don't think that the premise of this thread is correct.  The guys that were reinstated had done recreational drugs, not drugs classified as PED's.  In Welker's case the drug that he tested positive for is being reclassified from PED to recreational, but only during the off-season.  I have not read the full policy, but that is my understanding.

     

    And, btw, there isn't a "would've".  If he would've been reinstated than he WILL be reinstated.  Just because he's on IR doesn't mean that they still couldn't lift his ban on being at the team facility and speaking with other members of the organization.

  3. Right now it is Pep's offense.  He IS part of the game planning.  My point has been it is not all on one guy...Luck Pep etc...

     

    Regardless I wouldn't think that many would argue that Tom Moore would be a huge upgrade, over Pep, Chud and anyone else that is currently involved.  He would bring in a Ferrari and give the keys to #12.

  4. Chud is here....why is he not helping to game plan?....that is his job.  Just sayin...

     

    BTW I loved Tom Moore....

     

    Maybe he is.  

     

    I don't know enough about Chud to conclude that he's the best answer, personally.  Is he a spread-it-out type of coach, or another disciple of the old ground-n-pound philosophy?

  5. What drives me crazy is the growing rumblings in the media that somehow Donald Brown is performing better than Trent and is therefore somehow the better back.  When Brown is in Pep runs completely different formations.  It's like Brown is playing in a entirely different offense.  It makes the comparisons completely apples to oranges meaningless.  Give Trent a couple of drives where you're calling plays as if he is Donald Brown instead of running him in the I-Form every frickin' play and let's see how he does.  Why is that so hard?  And why does it take 8 frickin' weeks to discover the screen pass?

  6. Agree, he's never been half the back to this point that Lynch was in Buffalo. Buffalo didnt let him go bc of lack of performance or ability, he was a problem child. I would trade Trent's quality being a model citizen if he could just produce

     

    Lynch was nothing special in Buffalo.  He topped 1000 yards in his first two seasons, but barely, and then tanked in his next two.  When he was traded away Fred Jackson took over and didn't miss a beat, and frankly looked like the better back behind the same offensive line.

  7. The more attention people give Wells, the more relevant he becomes.  He gets followers by retweeting Chappell, Kravitz and the other real members of the Indianapolis media.  Unfortunately, they occasionally respond to his tweets at them, which broadcasts all of his tweets to their followers.  On the surface, you see a guy that writes for a site called "Stampede Blue" and following him seems like a no brainer.  Hopefully at some point Indy media learns their lesson and ignores this guy.

  8. To be honest...the only Nike product worth buying is the $225 Jerseys or probably the jackets ONLY...

     

    I will only buy it if the logo and design is stitched (most Reebok NFL products) or screen printed...

     

    I bought Nike Colts shirts and have worn them about 9 times and washing it has already caused the design to peel and wear out.

     

    Not worth it, overpriced and cheap quality products...and literally only cost them 2 cents of labor in China...

     

    Nike sucks, but most products usually won't wear out if you hang them to dry, rather than run them through the dryer.

  9. When was he asked last year?  If it was at the start of the year Rodgers was coming off being the League MVP and an amazing season.  Again the drop off between Manning and Rodgers is not that great.  It's like picking between Ice Cream and Cookies you can't really go wrong with either. 

     

    I don't remember when he was asked, but it was based on the premise of a healthy Manning.

     

    Dungy also said that he'd take RGIII over Luck, prior to the 2012 draft, and that Jim Caldwell would remain head coach.

     

    He's a great guy and I love the man, but he's completely loopy.  

     

    With that said, if there is anyone that can be as good or better than Manning, Luck is the guy to do it.

  10. When you factor in age if I was starting a franchise and had to pick between those two I probably would too.  It's not like the drop from Manning to Rodgers is that great. 

     

    Age was not a factor in the context that was being discussed.  They were talking about a single season.  Rodney Harrison was clearly in disbelief and asked for clarification, if I recall.

  11. There's always been silence from the Manning camp

    Even when he was here

    Just the way he is,I wouldn't make anything out of it

    And there is absolutely no way, no chance that he is ever going to comment on one team when he still has another game before that one.  His focus right now is on the Jaguars.  He won't answer any Colts related questions until next week, and I doubt any media will be asking until then, anyway.

  12. Really?

     

    Go on, support this position.

     

    Well, they didn't cut a guy that was busted with an unregistered firearm in the last city that you even want to carry a registered firearm.  Oh, and he ran from police.  Most people would consider that a risk.

     

    How many chances is La'Von Brazill on now?  Three?

    Montori Hughes has already been mentioned.

     

    Then there is the Rogers kid that we just signed, but at least he is just on the practice squad, for now.

     

    I have no idea if there were any warning signs for Boyett, but I can tell you that NFL organizations don't mess around when it comes to doing their background research.

     

    Maybe by NFL standards that is not a lot, but it is by the standards that we've grown accustomed to around here.  You can bet your backside that Lefeged would have been cut in a New York second if Polian were the GM.  I'm not saying that's right or wrong, I'm just saying that's what would have happened.

     

    Again, I never said that any of this is a bad thing.  I said myself that I'm all for giving guys a second chance, you just have to be very careful in how you do it.
