    What's the deal with our RB's?

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I've been out to camp a few times and I really like the Ferguson kid. I think he is going to be used to spread the field, looks quick and fast and catches the ball well. I think they have found a change of pace guy, a Sproles type guy. He looked really good the days I was there.

    Realistic options, Rumors for HC

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I for one do not think Pagano has been the problem. I believe the problem lies in bad decisions made by the GM and an OC that can't develop a game plan at the pro level. If there were to be a head coaching change made I would first have to look to Josh McDaniels. It's obvious that Irsay wants an offensive minded team. Your best player is Luck so why not bring a guy in to mold him and make him better. Other than OL, I believe the Colts have a lot of the same pieces the Pats have and McDaniels could really help. Also, I think he would have learned from the mistakes he made in Denver, as there head coach, only making him a better HC this time!

     

    We have to get a better OC first and foremost. His play calling is horrendous. Through 7 games we still don't have identity on what we want to accomplish. he can't exploit a pass rush, he never utilizes the RB in the passing game, and our route tree with WR's leaves a lot to be desired. Would be nice to see some rub routes, crossing routes, guys in motion to get favorable match ups, and where is our slot, possession WR???

     

    Head coach takes the blame but there are other issues here that have caused this funk. Not addressing our offensive line was a grievous mistake and waisting our 1st round draft pick for a guy that never see's the field was a huge error by GM. 1st round picks have got to be impact guys and this guy isn't!!!!

    I don't think T. Rich's production, or lack of it, is solely on him. If you've watched the Colts games since we acquired him, you should know that he has mainly been asked to run the ball right up the Center, Guard gaps. Offensive play calling has been run on 1st down every time, predictable. You can't go into a power formation and bring every defensive guy into the box and expect a RB to be productive, especially with this offensive line. The guy ran for 950 yds and 11 td's last year for a horrible Browns team. The guy caught 51 passes for 367 yds and 1 TD. How many times have we thrown him the ball in the flat on a screen or a check down? Well I do know, it's 7 targets for 2 catches. We have to utilize him more in the passing game. We have to get him some carries off tackle and we can't run the ball on first down every freaking time. Before everyone jumps on the Donald Brown should start, remember Brown can't pass block. I've watched the games and T. Rich is a monster when those line backers blitz or he gives help to a tackle. Throw the guy the ball on a mismatch with a LB in the flat. Get him to the second level and he will hurt those little DB's, they won't want to tackle. Most importantly, if we need one yard for a 1st down put the guy in the game that we gave up a 1st round draft pick for and let him hammer away, don't run up the middle with the lightweight Brown. Just stupid!

    Liars or inept?

    I have tried to move my seats from the very front row of the 600 lvl to the lodge lvl between the 20's since we moved into the new stadium. I was finally granted my request this year. I have been turned down for several years. The 500 lvl, doesnt come available often.

    Season tickets available

    Here's what I think my friends, I for one have been a season ticket holder for 18 plus years. I have missed 3 home games in 18 years, two of those came last year. I came very close to not renewing this year but I did. I have the money to go but I have sat through more * and up and down seasons than most. I chose to renew because I am still a fan of the team but I also wanted to try to upgrade my seat location one more time.

    I came very close to not renewing because I have had enough of Mr. Irsay's * and his management choices over the years and espeically the handling of the Manning drama. I think he could have saved face with a lot of STH's if he would have not held us hostage with the STH renewal date, four days before the Manning official release. To me that was a slap in the face to every paying customer who has been there for 12 plus season's. I applaud the people who chose to not renew. I for one will probable give my tickets up next year because I can pay $350 and watch every NFL game from home and save $1000's of dollars in consession, dining out and parking expenses. That makes so much more sense if you think about it.

    We live in tough economic times right now and people have to tighten the budget. Ever rising fuel costs are effecting everyone in some way or the other. For those who couldn't get tickets and wanted them, now's your opportunity. People around here are pretty smart though, when you do them wrong and make deceisions they don't like they will not support you. Look at the Pacers, you can't fill that place and they are having one the there better season's in some time. People are staying home more and when you get rid of players they love watching and supporting they remember with there wallets and choose to spend elsewhere.

    The Colts will sell out seats again but it will not happen as fast as some may think. I believe you have a decade or two of smart fans that felt very wronged by Irsay's deceision's this past March. Those same fans are the one's that bought the majority of the tickets and sold out the stadium for 12 straight years. Now the fans that are so fast to call everyone fairweather fans, Manning Fanboys and bandwagon jumpers, it's your turn to step up and buy your tickets and put your wallet where your mouth is. I think you can tell by the 4000 season tickets available, that the Colts are short of selling out, speaks volumes.

    Man, the fairweather fans of Indiana strike again.

    I dont think you have anywhere to stand calling someone a fairweather fan. If anything you should be thanking your so called fairweather fans for the last 12 years because of them you could watch the Colts on TV.

    Don't make comments like that and not expect fallout. A season ticket holder might not be more of a fan than you but they have invested finacially into your team so that everyone can experience being a part of your team and then you want to slam them. Then you say that you yourself can't afford to go to games, well maybe some of those that elected to not renew are in the same boat as you. Maybe they didn't want to invest there hard earned money anymore because things were tight finacially. Think before you call people out on something you know nothing about.

    Luck And The Colts Run Game

    If our starting RB is already on the roster were are done. Brown can't pass protect and Carter is the better option of the two but he's not the answer. I say we need to draft LeMichael James. That would also give us a Punt returner. We need a RB bad. I was hoping they would bring Hillis in to pound the ball. This area will need to be addressed in the draft. Luck is going to need a run game to survive.

    Cory Redding Reaches Deal With Colts

    It's a good signing but lets not get overly blown away here just because we signed a FA. The guy is 31 y/o and at the end of his career. Balt. would never have gotten rid of him if they thought he had value to keep. I have to think this seals the deal on Freeney being cut or traded. It's a piece to a puzzle that has been missing for awhile lets just hope it pans out for the 3 years he's here.

    Cory Redding To Colts?

    lol, athough this would be a good signing, how does it helps us??????????????????????? Were going to suck for 3-4 years and by then he will be too old to play anymore. Were rebuilding remember. Why the heck would anyone want to come and sign with this team if they want to win and win now. You only have so many years to play and to play 3 of your prime years for a rebuilding team makes no sense.

    Whole Family No Longer Colts Fans.

    They think Irsay is a liar and diss like him quite a bit. Mom hopes he burns in hate mail and will be eating crow real soon... Dad is going to quit watching sports altogether (highly doubtful IMO). My brother and sister were never that big of colts fans to begin with... I've grown up watching Peyton play all of my younger years (I'm 20 now). Watched Peyton play colts ball from 8 years old to 20. I hope that Peyton wins more SBs than any QB has before. I'd like to see him win 4 more... Ive been hearing and reading a lot of negativity and rightfully so. The only thing left for me that the Colts have is the horse shoe. Everything else is new maybe even including a new uni design by Nike. But if one thing remains the same. It's the horse shoe. It's an emotional time for my parents, and I. But if one thing remains. Its my love for the horse shoe. I can't imagine myself being a fan of any one team besides the Colts. And if we lose for the next 5 years, it's going to be a long hard time for us Colts fans. Because I'm already getting a lot of ridicule from different ppl for still supporting my Colts... Guys. This is a hard time... Keep the faith.

    Listen my friend, I was about your age now when I started rooting for the Colts. I went through the good and bad years and the bad years are what defines you as a fan of your team. It's the blood, sweat and tears or the heckling, bashing and heartache in this case, that will mold you. You will give your team loyality and have your heart broken more than once but when your team does the impossible, you will stand up and thump your chest and say I was there through the hard times, as well as the best of times. You may even shed a tear from time to time because you will someday be sitting there watching a part of your life achieve the highest achievable success and remember the sacrifices you made to support a team when others would only gather to tear you down and distract you from your path of support.

    But always remember, as you get older and more important things come into your life, you will see that your support will sway and the things you once did as a fanatical fan won't mean as much. You will earn loyality and the respect from those who gathered to tear you down but your team's management will not live by the same values you have had as a fan and you will be grow tired of it and resent the fact that you feel you waisted your time. Enjoy your years of youth and support your team with all your heart but just know, in time your perspective will change and you will see things in a different light someday.

    Yeah, we'll get to see all these loyal Colts fans, that wanted tickets for so long, step up to the plate and keep the stadium sold out for all us fair weather fans that supported this team since 1984 and actually put there money where there mouth is. Can't wait! I wonder where all you loyal, true blue Colts fans were when I was scalping tickets in the 80's and 90's. We sure sold out a lot of games back then but where were you loyal Colts fans then. Were you all just waiting for the right time to say you were loyal fans because you have now drunk the Irsay bottled water of hipocracy!

    Give me a break! No fan is more a fan then someone else just because they don't go along with your way of thinking. If someone chooses to not support a team anymore, what gives anyone the right to say there not loyal. Fan bases come and go, it's sports. I'm tired of all the Irsay ^cowpatties^! Fans have different ways to support there so called team but no one is more a fan than someone else. Die hard yes! I've missed 3 home games in 18 years, am I more of a fan than someone that has never been to game but stays at home? No, but I can say I'm vested! Just tired of all the ^cowpatties^ being fed to us. If you choose to support this era then go buy some tickets and finacially support the team for 18 years as much as I have. Then come call me a fair weather fan because I choose to not support the lie.

    Feels Like The Colts Won't Be Indys Team, Indianas Team Ever Again.

    Some of you so called colts fans need to learn how to be a little more true to your team... Its a rebuilding season, we cant have the same team for a decade and half thats more than a lot of teams get. I feel like we as a fan base have not appreciated what we have had. Teams like Seattle and Oakland have diehard fans with only an average team. If we cant stay die hard throughout how ever long it takes to rebuild then maybe we all werent really fans of the colts we were just fans of being on the winners side......

    Yall need to stay TRUE BLUE! GO COLTS

    I did in the 80's and most of the 90's and then the 2000's came along and we had a great run. Now it's the 2010's and were heading back to the 80's. I'll be a fan from my couch watching the blackout years on the NFL Ticket. My financial support years have come to an end but hey, at least I don't have to go to the local bar and pay $25 to watch the Colts on pirated satelite anymore. Gosh we've come a long way. Man I hope Luck isn't another Jeff George.

    I bet I couldn't get 50% face on my Season Tickets right now if I tried to sell them. I wish I would have known the liquidation sale was coming prior to the March 2nd deadline to renew. Thanks Mr. Irsay your a quality act.

    They'll be sold out this year with a lot of empty seats so no games will be blacked out but you wait till 2013 my friends. You won't see anyone in there but tumbleweeds blowing by. Good thing NFL ticket is cheaper than owning season tickets. Back to the days of visiting teams fans coming into our stadium and making it a home game for the visitors.
