    Pagano was a great leader, but lacked the study of modern schemes, IMO. 

     

    Pagano had what Josh doesn't, and Josh has what Pagano didn't.

     

    Reich seem like a great combination.  So far, it looks that way to me.

    This seems like a fair assessment.  Revisionist history aside, Pagano was always known as a coach players would run through a brick wall for.

     

    They may not have always been coached the best way to get through that brick wall, but they were ready and willing to do it for that man. He's a great guy and helped make it easy to cheer for the Colts during the Peyton/Andrew transition, which wasn't easy for many (I thought it was the right move, but it wasn't clear cut). Didn't end up well, but I'll always view Pagano in a positive light... even while acknowledging the wasted years on Andrew's career. What more can you ask than someone's best? I have no doubt Chuck gave his best and only wanted the best for his players.

     

    And seriously... F*** JMcD.

  2. He definitely lowered his helmet.  That said, when you start fining offensive linemen in the name of player safety, when they literally smack helmets every play, that's bush league.  I would think the Colts could cover this fine since their doctored footage of the play pulled so much attention towards it.

    I think the main concern at the time in this forum, was more about his durability, than his talent level. that was the main concern. 

    Exactly this. I was a Mack fan pre-draft (though admittedly it was based on hoghlight film) and when we drafted him I was excited. Went to the 49ers at Colts game last year when he had a great redzone run. Went woth my 49ers buddy and that run drew a "MARLON FREAKIN MACK!" out of me. Ever since, that's been my chant when he gets the ball. If you get him some space to make the first guy miss, this kid looks like McCoy. His durability has been an issue so far, so that's a fair gripe. With any luck in the health department though, he's definitely up to snuff for starting RBs.

    Missing Hooker was big in this game. His lack of presence was felt and Carr knew it. Hopefully the bye week can allow him and few other defenders to get healthy and ready to go for the 2nd half of the season. 

    That's the impression I came away with as well. I saw a thread started about this topic, but apparently it was during the game so it got locked. He's not racking up the INTs like last year, but best believe opposing QBs are looking at where he's at and adjusting.

  5. Ugh, I've lost my mind. The whole central vs eastern time zone didn't even register for me. Sorry everyone, I sincerely did not mean to flake on the draft. I'll be extra busy this season on the waivers trying to get my team up to snuff (my auto-drafted RB game is severely struggling). Good luck everyone!

    ???  You let some people you don't agree with drive you away from Indiana?

     

    I agree there are some Hoosiers that need to "catch up with the times", but Indiana is a great place.  It's green, quiet, safe, and peaceful.

     

    We might progress a little slower than other places, but we get there eventually.  :thmup:

    Eh, had just as much to do with the drugs that were so prevalent in my hometown and a lot of the people I grew up with. But the "values" of most of the people I know there were definitely a driving force. Only so many times you can hear "there's a difference between (group of people) and (slur)" before you realize it's time to go.

    How much are tickets roughly to attend just Thursday or Friday?

    We didn't get to go to the actual draft where they take the stage and all that, we just went to Draft Town where they had all the events set up and photo ops. For Friday/Saturday they read the names on a stage outdoors but I couldn't figure out how to get tickets or if I could just walk up and take a seat. We got there early though so by the time that was going we were about ready to leave.

    I live in Nashville and will most definitely be there with my Colts jersey on!! Who will be there to join me? Colts Nation represent!

    Lived in Bowling Green, KY (1 hr north)  for 6 years so the wife and I will definitely take this opportunity to visit friends and check out the draft. We had a blast when it was up here in Chicago.

    Yeah, thats just it, he was passed on 139 times and he's a first round talent. That speaks volumes on what teams think. Im not saying you shouldnt ever take guys with issues, but the single greatest talent any player can have is availability, and teams just couldnt be sure.

    Yeah, I definitely get it. Was just a personal favorite of mine. On to the next one,  haha.

    If Mewhort stays healthy?  When is that gonna happen?  That still does not justify that you pass up a Ballard so called ball hawker like Josh Jackson and Harold Landry.  Sorry!  Hey, let's go 0-16 and see how bad Ballard can screw that pick up.  Maybe Baltimore will take the Colts back!

    Christ, you are dramatic.
