    How was the blocked xp not on him? It was a line drive that almost hit the lineman in the head!

    And even a perfect snap and hold will duck hook when you chunk the ground well behind the ball.

    They said he kicked it low to avoid the swirling winds...nonetheless, there was a a defender coming off the right edge unblocked that darn near made the block. The line also gave pressure. Again, I’m not saying Adam isn’t struggling, I don’t think the other players are giving much help to an already struggling player.

    The block was the result of a low kick.  Now I did hear the sideline guy said Adam might have done that to try keep it out of the swirling winds.  The line, especially Glow, have had an issue getting guys arms down all season.  It’s shown up mostly in the passing game but it’s been an issue on kicks too.

     

    i wonder if the Colts give Matt Overton a call this week, he was the long snapper before and pretty good.  He was released by the Jags so he’s out there and we know he knows working with Adam.

     

    Rigo isn’t going anywhere but can probably use more practice on holding.

     

    with that said Adam is still an issue.  The last snap wasn’t good but Adam also mistimed his kick and dug into the ground.  He did the samething vs Miami last year.  That’s something NFL level kickers just don’t do let alone doing it twice in a calendar year.  He’s been having issues since really the last quarter of last season.  Not all of that is the kicking operation.  The question is is someone better available?  That’s something we as fans don’t know but I hope the Colts front office explores that this week.  If one isn’t then we have to live with Adam until the end of the season.  This maybe a problem that can’t be fixed this season.

    I agree with just about everything. My only point in the thread is most fans see a missed kick and blame the kicker when it could of been the snap, the hold, the line, etc. Adam is definitely struggling, no doubt, I just think it’s more than just him. The whole unit is struggling. Heck special teams in general today really struggled.

    Even the ones he is making are wobbly near misses. He's done.

    Yup, I’m not saying he’s not..it would be a hard argument to make. I’m just saying i don’t think it’s all him. The block wasn’t on him. The last miss want a perfect snap and hold. Same last week according to our ex punter. I’m just saying I think the whole unit has pretty well stunk it up this year.

    Saw in the Victory Speech video that Irsay gave the game ball to Chuck Yeager.  Is he a Colts fan or was something special going on celebrating his life?

    Not sure if he is a Colts fan or not. I assume you know who he is since you didn’t mention that in your post, so I’ll leave that part out.

     

    I don’t know if there is anything special going on but they honored him on the field before the game Sunday...I assume that’s why he received the game ball.

    All,

     

    So there I transparency and you are all made aware. I have offered a trade to my wife, though she hasn't accepted it yet the trade is as follows:

     

    Odell and Robby Anderson

    for

    Golladay and Marquise Brown.

     

    I feel this is a fairly even trade, but I know some had issues last year with me trading with my wife so I want to make it aware so you guys are given ample notification (other than ESPN) to vote on this trade if it is accepted.

    Thanks. Looks like a fair trade. 
     

    It wasn’t that you were trading with her, it was the players being traded that didn’t seem right! All is good.
