    JMV having traces of doubt in his opinion on this situation

    in Colts Football

    Listen, I don't think there's a conspiracy here. 

     

    What I think happened is that Luck suffered a mild calf injury, but it either wasn't treated correctly initially/didn't heal and it complicated (much like lower leg injuries do) into three separate things working in unison--so even if you treat one, you still are dealing with the other two--and they're all causing pain so it's hard to know what exactly you're treating. 

     

    A report said Luck can walk normally in every day life relatively pain free. However, I think he didn't want to exasperate the issue any further by playing professional football and perhaps making things worse than they already are (by putting more physical strain on it, opponents twisting it during a tackle, etc.).

     

    I don't think the anti-inflammtory thing is as much that he's worried about drug addiction, as much as he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life dependent on anti-inflammatories in everyday life--should the condition worsen. 

     

    The dark days of 2016-017 to me were less about drug addition, and more that I think Luck played through pain (cracked ribs, etc.) in order to save other people's jobs. He felt responsible for saving Pagano's job, Grigson's job, and tried his best to get his teams to the playoffs because he's their best player and he was good enough to carry them pretty damn close to the finish line. That's a ton of strain to put on yourself when you solely feel responsible for everyone. Luck even said in his presser, "I promised then that I wouldn't do that to myself again" or something to that effect. 

     

    I also think just constantly rehabbing and getting close to the end only to experience setbacks, only to start a new one entirely would be pretty draining. You tend to be isolated in those situations and away from the team. It's like getting ready to scale a mountain, but never making it--only to start from the bottom again. 

     

    I also think that Luck has had so many lingering injuries as of late that even if he rehabbed this one, who's to say another issue wouldn't pop up? 

     

    If there's an actual conspiracy here, I'd venture to say it's more like Luck is still experiencing pain with his throwing shoulder or knows that he's lost some zip on his fastball. Something physical that's still working in combination with the ankle. 

    Retired Numbers.

    The problem with retiring football #'s is that you're so limited with such a big roster. 

     

    I think Harrison is definitely deserving, but not really anyone else. I'm also surprised that the Colts issued Freeney's number so quickly, like a season later to Erik Walden (although that was Grigson's doing). Mathis might've been a better leader, but Freeney was a superior and more dominant player and the Colts should've held his number out at least for a few years. 

    Kevin Bowen let go by Colts

    It's surprising because Steve Andress was let go around a year ago, who also seemed like he did a pretty good job. I thought maybe the Colts were just looking for a female reporter (Caroline Cann) to pair with Bowen, but it looks like they're simply doing whatever they want. 

     

    I don't necessarily know that Bowen was the best writer out there, but he did a pretty admirable job of covering the team from all angles and seemed pretty personable to both fans and fellow media personnel alike. 

    Could Colts GM Chris Ballard Bring Chiefs Eric Berry, Dontari Poe to Indy?

    If he could consistently be 2014 poe who had 6 sacks then he might worth it because that mames him more than just NT imo.  However his sack numbers the past 2 years suggest that 2014 may have been a fluke.

     

    Wouldn't be concerned with Poe's sack numbers, as much as whether he can stop the run. Parry is too small IMO and the Colts could use an upgrade regardless.

    Eric Berry seems highly unlikely (even if he claims he won't play under tag he'll get slapped with tag if a long-term deal can't be reached). However, it looks like Kansas City won't be able to re-sign both Berry and Poe which leaves Poe are a realistic target for Colts at NT.
