    Thats from Tiki Barbers twitter account... Haven’t said much on the luck situation on here and I expect him to come back. However I’m ready to move on if he needs more surgeries.

    According to Holder, it sounds like Wilson may be a healthy scratch, which is asinine.

     

    When I read that i flipped my lid.. whoever makes that decision needs to be fired if that happens... choosing Pierre over Wilson is just insane.

    I partly blame that on coaching... example why on earth do the colts need 3 safeties in rotation?

    The only way we go 8-8 again is if Lucks out there but I don't know if it happens this year regardless Defense sucks and the o-line isn't much better.

    The defense does not suck, just bad playcalling.

  5. I’m not gonna hop on the Melvin bandwagon yet either... I still don’t think Melvin can cover as well as Wilson or Davis. I would not be surprised if he gets beat all up and down the field Sunday. No doubt he’s better than a lot of CBs but at best I think he’s a good backup.

  6. All the Colts need now is one good coverage/runstopping ILB and they are set on defense.... AL Woods and Hankins have been the anchors on this team so far, hopefully the Colts can look to bring in someone like AL Woods in next year but only younger to learn and take up the reigns when AL does leave.

    You get the 32nd pick if you've had the BEST season.

     

    It might do good for the Browns if they were good enough to get the 32nd pick.  They always pick top-10.  Like the Jags.

    When I mentioned the Browns, I did so implying that although they have all their top 10 picks they are still poo

    When I'm talking ab out "not helping Luck" this is what I mean....

     

    Luck never called his HS coach to suggest plays or idea that the coach could use....

     

    Luck never did that with Harbaugh or Shaw, either.

     

    I'm not saying Oliver and Andrew never had father and son talks about football.     I'm sure they did.    Absolutely sure.

     

    But I'm also saying Oliver does NOT call Jim Irsay to complain about the O-line blocking for his son.    He doesn't sit in the owners box and tell Jim Irsay that his son isn't happy with the development of the team,  or that his son will want to be traded.      That's NOT how the Luck family operates.

     

    Concerns about the team are made either by Andrew directly, or by the agent.    Not by the dad.

     

    I agree with all that, would be crazy if his father did that... All I'm saying is Andrew can and does discuss things he doesn't like with his dad.

    During his time at Stanford and at the beginning of his NFL career, Luck always said that his father kept his distance when it came to football because Oliver felt that it was more important to just be his father. Here is one of the articles I remember. There are a few others out there. 

     

    http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/9416762/colts-qb-andrew-luck-father-oliver-luck-kept-firm-line-coach-dad-espn-magazine

     

     

     "If I had a question, he would answer it," the Colts QB recently told ESPN's Hannah Storm, "but he never muddied the line of coach and father. I appreciated that." 

     

    So they do discuss football things, don't believe these articles.. I don't see his father telling him to not listen to his coach but there's no doubt they discuss football and other decisions.

    That's a tricky thing. As a generality, yeah, it's in Luck's genes, but that doesn't mean Oliver coached up Andrew once he started playing organized ball.

    I play guitar and my dad plays too, aside from how to start, like the most rudimentary advice, that's all I got out of him in terms of instruction. I'd wager that kind of thing is what happened here too.

    You're comparing guitar playing to football, played LB for my old high-school and so did my dad and you best believe he had tips and pointers especially during my senior year hoping for a scholarship. Luck may stick to financial stuff with his agent... Which is his uncle btw but he definitely talks about decisions with his dad... There's no doubt about that.

    Yes...    I believe so...

     

    It was his uncle for the rookie contract...

     

    And I believe it was the uncle for the big second contract.    And there's been no story anywhere of Luck switching agents.

     

    So I believe the story this week of his agent denying the Greenberg claim is the agent/uncle.

     

     

     

     

    Then I can guarantee you his father in some way or another helped him in football, it'd be crazy to not think so especially with the connections his father potentially had before he joined the nfl and as a rookie... It probably explains why he stayed with family when it came to picking his agent. Saying he has no history of his father helping him is a pretty bit over the top because you don't know that.
