Some quick questions
Is Brady a HOF QB without BB?
Is Terry Bradshaw a HOF QB.... without the other 7 HOFs?
-
Wilford will be a HOFer. Just saying.
I give him a smaller chance (20-25%)
-
I was thinking about the Colts in the HOF, and came to
Colts - late 50s, early 60s - 6 players
Looking at some other teams
Cowboys - 70's era - 7 players in HOF
Cowboys - 90's era - 5 players in HOF
Steelers - 70's era - 9 players in HOF
49ers - 90s era - 5 players in HOF
Bears - 90s era - 3 player in HOF
Looking ahead:
I see Peyton as a first ballot HOF.
I see Marvin Harrison making it in at some point
I think Wayne is 50/50
I think Vinateri is 50/50
The teams that win many SBs or have a long record of great success will do well on the HOF (No Duh)
But something very interesting to me is, look at the Patriots.
This current era Patriots team, unless something really strange happens, will probably have ONLY ONE HOF player......
Tom Brady
Irregardless of the PSI, that does say something about our hated rival.
Great coaching and a superstar QB....(Sprinkle in a bit of cheating) ........ CAN win championships
I have a chip on my shoulder in regards to the Patriots and want to beat them 100-0 in the LOS. but..........
It is amazing to me, that a team that has gone to 6 Super Bowls recently.. will only field one player
Thoughts?Am I missing anything?(I dont count a one year rent from Revis, just like I dont count Richard Dent for the Colts) -
Another quick point
Watching some tape of Anderson, I am noticing, how much movement that David Parry has from the NT position.
I can see him having an great impact, and rotating in on passing downs that we didnt have last year.
Parry is a shorter than normal NT, and it would seem a taller OL player may have difficulty getting pad level correct to block him.
Chapman had almost no push or penetration on passing downs, and in many cases, was handled one on one.
IMHO, he just isnt more than a rotational player for the Colts.
Looking forward to seeing Parry contibute this year....... he MAY surprise
-
Fitting into a car aside.......
Having this proven run stopper not have an injury will be HUGE for this defense....
He was a stationary body last year...... That wasnt enough
Having a high ankle sprain is an enormously limiting injury.
They just don't heal, when you keep playing on them.
I have had them before, and they take forever to heal, just from walking on them.... let alone
trying to play on them.
This is just one of the areas that I just cant help thinking that we are going to be much better in
Yes.... my glass is half full
-
The guy has a motor........
There is a guy that actually moves...... number 58, on that video........
He didnt get the sack...... but he was close.......
I wonder who that guy is ?
I wish we would have drafted him as well......
Chapman just seems to SIT.........

That's fine Deano. I get where your coming from. I just view Manning as the guy who made INDY a relevant football franchise that other teams finally had to take seriously. Without Manning, there is no Lucas Oil Stadium, no 2006 Lombardi trophy, & probably no Andrew Luck especially when you remember how classy Peyton handled his release from Indianapolis. I can't severe ties with Manning simply because he wears a different uniform now.
The page has definitely been turned to Chewbacca now so I understand that line of thinking too. Me, I will always view Manning as a Colt who just relocated for a few years like a brother moving across the country. He built what INDY is now & for that I will always be grateful to Manning.
I guess I just appreciate how both men Luck & Manning handled this QB transition because of the rift & bad blood that developed between the Favre & Rogers camp fan wise & once Andrew wins a SB ring on his own the clean break will be complete & permanent in the changing of the guard. Then & only then will this metamorphosis be a solid & smooth one. JMO.
I agree with everything you say.......... Many folks cant remember all the crap QBs that the franchise has had in the "dark years"
Manning MADE the Indy Colts!
I think Manning will always have the heart of Indianapolis
Gary Hogeboom? Jeff George.......? LOL ...........
We have been blessed to have 2 QBs in a row that are elite
Can you imagine being a Titan or a Jaguar fan?
We all like to debate the latest Colts moves, in good natured ribbing....... BUT
I enjoy having a team that is actually close to the SB almost every year.......
-
An intriguing point krunk. Our defense certainly made it's presence known. No argument there. I won't say that INDY wouldn't have beaten a healthy Manning because Peyton is still a master at anticipating throws. The question remains can Manning always get the ball where it needs to go in the 4th QTR? In 2004, 2006, & 2009, I would have said absolutely, but now, the arm strength isn't always there for Manning. That's not a knock on Manning just that age catches up with all HOF QBs eventually. Coach Kubiak will be a huge asset to Peyton with the running game & TE Owen Daniels in the offensive arsenal now though.
I get your point krunk. Manning is still a great QB, but a changing of the guard is inevitable. I will watch every game of the Colts & Broncos I can promise you. I want INDY to reach the Promiseland in February naturally, but I also want Manning to end his illustrious career on a respectable high note as well.
The first year Manning left...... I was conflicted...... I wanted the Colts to win.... but for the first year, hoped Manning would win another SB.....
Now........ its all COLTS!!
-
I couldn't agree more Superman. 21 is 1 of the nicest & most fair minded guys I know. He's very loyal to INDY & not negative at all. 21 simply highlights concerns he has about a direction INDY went on occasion that's hardly disloyal to INDY Deano1818.
Ok
-
We need depth....... hopefully he can step up his game
Odds are...... we will have someone nicked up
-
Watt had a better 40 time coming out 4.8 vs 5
Watt had a better 3 Cone at 6.88 vs 7.2
Anderson did have a better 20 yard shuttle at 4.19 vs 4.21
Watt, IMHO will end up being a HOF player
Anderson will be MUCH better than his draft position
Watt is an amazing talent, Anderson isnt in the same league...........
But
Give Anderson the next two offseasons to build some muscle and lose some baby fat
I think he will be the best DL player the Indy have had (in the 3-4)
-
I didnt see it.... thanks for posting it
This kid will be good
I am starting to really like this draft
-
He will stretch the defense
I see AJ owning the underneath routes as the two blazers take the top of the defense away.....
After a few long passes, Gore will be running against dime packages..... (A dream of the big back)
It will be a great thing!
This offense will be amazing IMHO
-
There's a lot of talent and potential in this group of draftees. I wasn't/am not a fan of the Dorsett selection, but only because of the position we went with, not because I am critical of Dorsett's talent. Geathers could be very good if he learns to control his aggression and play smart instead of just running 100 miles an hour all over the place. I think Henry Anderson could develop into a poor man's JJ Watt. D'Joun Smith is arguably the most complete corner in the draft. And Robinson, combined with Gore and Herron, gives us 3 power backs who love to lay out some punishment on would-be tacklers.
That sounds like a positive post........
Its funny you compared Anderson to Watt...... (Even if he was the poor mans Watt) I was watching tape on him, and thought the exact thing.... one guy cant block him..... he is very active, and has great short burst
I think he may be the steal of this draft
Obviously not at Watts level..... yet
-
Watching the video, the kid can play
He is an enforcer type that we havent had for awhile
-
Folks.... Imagine the mismatches that he creates when he does come on the field.
Imagine how tired the DBs are going to be when chasing our two speedsters around
I think he will get plenty of rotations during the game.......
Give the guy a chance...... he is a game breaker...... he had a freshman QB throwing to him last year......
In my book, Anderson will be better than MANY of the late first and early second round picks.
(Watch his video)
We improved the defense (4of5 picks on defense)..... and drafted a play maker on offense as well
it will be ok......
We got better......... (best Monty Python)
-
The people that I feel would be upset are
Carter - He chose the Colts over other teams, because he thought he would have more of a chance
Moncrief - He will have less touches this year. That has to be disappointing
Johnson - MAYBE he is upset.... he left the Texans die to a lesser role...... Someone probably said....... Your fine, you will get the touches. In fact, I bet you see Johnson run wild with underneath routes with the two speedsters on the field
If I am Moncrief and Carter...... probably not happy
But...... I am sure they will get over it.
This offense should be amazing this year...........
Didnt like the pick at first.... but excited to see where this goes
-
It may be much tougher to make the team this year.......... vs past
-
I agree. No depth at LT either, although Reitz can play there if necessary.
If you think about it......
IMHO, Reitz BARELY covered the easier RT spot when called upon
We are in trouble, major trouble if we lost our LT or QB
I don't see anyone that can play LT (at least well) on this roster if we have an injury.......
-
Geathers hits like a truck
We have needed that type of player since Bob Sanders
PEDman missed like a truck........ "you could feel the wind on you....."
Lets hope he picks up the game quickly
-
This is RSP Films looking at Safeties in the 2015 draft. Both hosts have played. One blogs for Bleacher Report. They review Damarious Randall and Clayton Geathers. Both rate Geathers over all other safeties. Geathers breakdown starts at the 39:00 minute mark. They also note that Geathers is statistically the best safety in the draft.
Great video..... thanks
-
Could he be talking about Mewhort? Sure.
But most here don't seem to think he is. Most think he's talking about either Herreman's or Retiz or John.
Most here seem to think Mewhort is going to stay home at LG.
Mewhort may stay in that role..... (LG)
Its just interesting with the timing
and them not going RT in the draft
-
Interesting comments from Jim from SBNation on Saturday
"along these lines, the comments of owner Jim Irsay on Saturday are particularly interesting. "We're trying to figure out right tackle,'' Irsay said, per FOX59's Mike Chappell. "We could make an adjustment internally on who's playing where as we go into training camp." Is he referring to Jack Mewhort, who could slide outside to right tackle while someone else fills in at left guard? That's certainly possible, and in fact it might be the most likely option. "
With them NOT drafting a RT for at least depth...... it makes you wonder
-
A couple of more comments
Initially, I thought the 29th was going Collins or Goldman...... or...... we would trade to early 2nd.
and possibly still get one or the other
I also think that we may add one or two FAs before the season
Though we may done, and we may be significantly better,
I still think we need another FA Nose Tackle to compete for a roster spot
I still think we need another FA RB to compete for a roster spot
there should be some cuts after June 1
Lastly
If I am Pags.... I worry if our LT goes down...... we have no solid depth
Hall of Fame thoughts.........

I think Wilfork isnt a lock...... he was very good.... but a lock for HOF? I dont know about that
I forgot about Gronk, and you may be right. But..... he needs 4-5 years more of amazing production to be considered
I just dont know about Edge.... I want him to be there.... but...... put the number more like 10%. He needed more time in his role than he had IMHO
He also had some very average years after the injury that hurt him
