[Rotoworld's Evan Silva Colts writeup - predicts 9 wins]

16 hours ago, dodsworth said:

We would be middle of the pack in the draft and a new head coach next year if this is the case but I expect at least 10 wins minimum. 

 

The schedule and infusion of defensive talent should be worth an extra 2 wins this year over last.

 

 

I agree. My personal prediction is 11 wins.  I just base that on defense which I think could be top 20 at their best.  If we have more rookies starting other than Hooker that's a different story

[Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison]

OK, I'm starting to think Elliot Harrison just has a bias against the Colts.  He just did that top-5 pass-rusher duo and left off Freeney and Mathis.

 

Now he has this top-5 QB-WR combo, which he says is based on talent, not production, and he left off Manning and Harrison...

 

#5 - Big Ben and Antonio Brown

#4 - Joe Namath and Don Maynard

#3 - Dan Fouts and John Jefferson

#2 - Tom Brady and Moss

#1 - Montana and Rice

 

Elliot Harrison is going to sit there and tell us that Joe Namath/Don Maynard, Dan Fouts/John Jefferson, and Montana/Rice are more talented than Manning/Harrison?  Get outta town.  Montana and Rice were not like elite-level talented like Moss, so that #1 ranking has to be based on accomplishments like SBs and stats.

 

I'm calling nonsense Elliot Harrison.  Whether it's based on talent or production, Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison are one of/if not the best QB-WR combo in NFL history.

For real?!  Based on talent not production?!  Manning to Harrison did it so many years,  which would lead me to believe they are talented.  Talented seems like an insult when describing manning to Harrison.

[Robert Mathis & Dwight Freeney]

Say what you will about the benefits of playing with Peyton Manning as your QB, Freeney and Mathis put up HoF numbers rushing the passer.

 

Sacks, FFs, Fumble recoveries, QB pressures, these guys got to the QB/RB in the backfield all the time.

 

We don't win a SB in 2006 without Freeney/Mathis.  They accumulated 200+ sacks together.  They're possibly the best duo, for now.

199 sacks 99 FF that's pretty dam good I'd say

You can as long as you say "Geathers is nothing like bob".  Or whatever variation of that is

Forget having a #1 defense in the past.  If it weren't for Mo Lewis we'd probably have 4 SBs.

Ha!  Drew Bledsoe...

[Thoughts on Quincy Wilson ???]

He's going to be great....with time  He's going to make mistakes but hopefully Malik will have his back and If Vontae plays like his 2014 self our secondary will be a force.  I know Malik will be awesome but I have high high hopes for Q.

I agree but I dont remember the last time our front seven stopped the run lol

2007-2008 season I believe...that may have just been Booger and Bob

[Name our defense for this year. (already)]

Legion of Doom...only if we are a top ranked defense.

[Jimmy Raye has been let go]

I know it's the end of the scouting year but it makes me worried they do this right after the draft lol

[Which draft pick are you most excited about?]

39 minutes ago, backshoulderfade said:

Can I pick 2? Hooker and Wilson. Changes the make up of our secondary. Length, athleticism and ball skills. Put Hooker bacl there as a centerfielder allowing Wilson to play agressive underneath and jump routes. Once Hooker cleans up his tackling he is an All Pro

Agreed 100% I'd be willing to put money on him making all rookie team.

Malik Hooker.  Has the potential to become our most impactful defensive player on the field.  Allows Colts defense to do so much.  Potential mistake eraser.

Agreed.  Just needs some work on his tackling but I know he's going to be great

Could Indy potentially have their own version of Sherman and Thomas in Seattle?

Wouldn't that be kick *?!

[Which draft pick are you most excited about?]

Quincy Wilson.  I know Hooker is going to be great...I can feel it in my spine.  I like Quincy because he's aggressive and isn't affraid to do some talking,  now that Hooker has his back I can't wait to see what he's going to do to receivers 

[Hooker int prediction for the season.]

I think he has 5 in just the 2 games vs Bortles

7 of those he runs back for TDs.  He's gonna be so good his stats won't make any sense

With the secondary we're building we can run the type of defense where we sellout on blitzes and leave guys on islands.  I like it.

Agreed.  I cant wait to see how much the front improves because of the secondary or vice versa.  Either way I can't wait to see these 2 on the field.

I'm liking Ballard, draft day can't get here soon enough

 

Also seeing a lot of reports where he wants to trade back & stock picks, this is gonna be a great off-season

I agree.  I can't wait to see what this guy does on draft day.  I didn't care this much with what grigs was going to do in 2012.  But for some reason I'm excited for this guy

[Chris Ballard joins Peter King Podcast]

Man,  Im sold on this guy!  I hope him and the team have great seasons to come
