    Report: Colts Might Draft Terrelle Pryor In 2011 Nfl Supplemental Draft

    in NFL General

    Posted

    According to Todd McShay of ESPN, the Colts are one of seven team that have 'some sort of interest' in Terrelle Pryor, the disgraced former Ohio State quarterback who was at the center of a scandal involving improper benefits that ultimately resulted in the firing 'resignation' of head coach Jim Tressel.

    Now, McShay was sneaky in covering his butt while reporting on this, saying, 'I've narrowed it down to a few teams, of course, it probably won't be one of these, but these are the teams I've heard have some sort of interest in Terrelle Pryor.'

    Now, all due respect to Todd McShay, but that type of language does not give me confidence in the information he is reporting. In fact, the Colts being one of the teams mentioned seemed to catch the attention of the ESPN studio host who was interviewing McShay on the phone this afternoon on SportsCenter. The host asked, 'Why the Colts?' McShay responded, 'Lack of depth at quarterback, and having time to develop someone.'

    You hear that, Curtis Painter? The Colts would rather have Terrelle Pryor and his discounted Porsche as their backup QB than you. Funny thing is, as completely unqualified for the back-up role as Pryor is, I actually think he offers more at the back-up spot than Painter.

    Personally, I don't think McShay's report is credible. But, who knows? If the Colts take him next week in the 2011 NFL Supplemental Draft, McShay will look like a genius.

    Colts Sign Another 1St Round Draft Pick!

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    The Indianapolis Colts continued to address their defensive line by signing veteran end Tyler Brayton.

    Financial terms were not available, but Tom Mills, Brayton's agent, confirmed Brayton signed a one-year contract.

    "I think they plan on using him in a variety of ways,'' Mills said. "This is a very good opportunity for him.''

    The 6-6, 280-pound Brayton was a 2003 first-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders. He appeared in 15 games with Oakland last year, 14 as a starter. He has started 92 games in eight seasons.

    Brayton, 31, is the latest free-agent acquisition for the Colts. Previously, they signed tackle Tommie Harris and end Jamaal Anderson. Harris and Anderson also are former first-round picks

    Stage Falls At Indiana State Fair---Lots Of Injuries

    in Colts Football

    Five reported dead. Over 40 injured. Thoughts go out to the victims and their friends and family.

    The stage was there for a performance of the country band Sugarland. Winds were very high last night at the fairgrounds. The fair is closed today and will re-open tomorrow with a service for the victims.

    Obviously, this is not a sports story. One person told me this is similar to the negligence at Notre Dame that got Declan Sullivan killed last year. Maybe. I don't know. What I do know is that the last time I saw something somewhat similar to this, planes were crashing into towers and all of downtown Manhattan was on fire. Not the same scale, but the feeling is similar.

    Just like then, the 'human element' in this story is ordinary people rushed to the area immediately and worked to pull those who were trapped out. You can actually see them doing this in the video.

    Colts coach Jim Caldwell says QB Peyton Manning is 'coming along'(Merge)

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    Colts coach Jim Caldwell provided an update today on the status of quarterback Peyton Manning.

    "Doing well, coming along, Caldwell said. He's working extremely hard at it. Doing all the little things that it requires to get him where he wants to be. I think you guys know as well as I do he's ready to go and will be out there because he is chomping at the bit, that's for certain."

    "He's doing what the doctor is telling him to do, let's put it that way. He is going through his rehab, they have everything mapped out for him and they're adjusting as it goes so I think he is comfortable with the plan they have set for him."

    Last week, the veteran quarterback was running and throwing on the field in Anderson. One person who saw him throw said he was doing so with “decent velocity."

    Caldwell also said he wasn't certain fans would see Manning play during training camp.

    Manning opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list as he continued his comeback from May 23 surgery to repair a bulging disk in his neck.

    The Colts play their first preseason game against the St. Louis Rams on Saturday night.
