does that include our resident Pats fans? Cuz ill board the plane tonight...
Only if you wear a Peyton Jersey and Giants ball cap throughout the entire game. LOL
-
I refreshed colts.com com for 10 minutes straight for that news? LOL
WOW!
-
Arians as OC is my bet.
I don't think that's it. Could be. But everyone already knows that.
-
As soon as the doctors tell him PM is going to be 100% football ready, I'm sure he will.
Even if they tell him he will be 90% then he needs to wet that ink!

We Need To Go With Solid Blue Helmets With A White Horseshoe
Now I can officially call this the offseason. ;)
-
Sounds to me like Irsay better start writing that freaking check!!!
-
So we have $20m to sign some of our FA, other FAs, and rookies? You already counted Manning's signing bonus?
Peyton's bonus is in there. So even if we keep him, I have us roughly around 20 million under the cap.
-
Well, I usually charge them to the cap, because I expect to sign the prospects I draft.
But I can see your rationale. You figure not to include them until they are signed, at which time you will project to eliminate some team members that are there already.
It just means that your cap space needs to include those draft prospects you expect to sign, before you spend it on FAs.
Yes. And in doing so most of the draft picks will just take the place of others at about the same price. Everyone except the first round picks is pretty much a wash.
Now the big difference in being a second or third round pick is the signing bonus, which usually isn't too much, especially after it is spread out. We are talking about 2-3 players that may have an additional 250k on the cap after it is all said and done. That is except for the first round pick.
-
I have Luck at $4.2MM on the 2012 cap.
I think you may have to include the other picks, at least at league minimum. 7-8 additional picks (including the compensatories)
Why?
I already have the base players there as a fill.
Luck will count towards the cap after we draft him. But as of right now, he is not on the team.
-
That would be correct... Nothing wrong with a pop quiz
Been doing this a lot longer than that my friend. ;)
-
What is your Kerry Collins 2012 cap hit?
His dead cap space is 1.25 million.
-
Did you include the expected spend on the draft picks?
Yes and no.
Luck will be the only one that really has any effect on the cap.

In the draft section my newest if you were the gm thread, after talking with our favorite capologist firejimcaldwell, I had the colts having roughly 5-10 to play with in free agency. If they trim the fat, the colts could have 30 million free with manning still in your scenario, it means cutting Clark, brackett, addai, bullitt, moala, mookie, snow, diles, Collins, painter, orlovsky, but that allows a strong push for real talent, affordable, impact signings!
My numbers have us at 20 million under the cap without cutting anyone.
Orlovsky is a FA, I believe and Collins retired (from what I have heard). I am not a big fan of cutting Justin Snow, even though he does carry close to a million towards the cap. Cutting Painter doesn't help our cap much at all. I don't see any reason for cutting Moala on a financial basis either. We would eat a couple of years from Clarks signing bonus if we cut him and it wouldn't be much savings so I think we should just pay him. Sure cutting Clark would help next year, but we are no where near in salary cap trouble next year either. We might have the best cap space in the league next season.
But YES! We are in great shape.

My numbers are very early but even with Peyton and Freeney on the roster, we are about 20 million under the cap.
If we restructure (extend) Freeney and cut Peyton (God that still hurts thinking about) then we would be somewhere around 30 million under the cap for 2012.
I have us right now around $100,000,000 spent towards the 120,000,000 2012 CAP.
My Raw Number is $98,429,913
Here are our notable Free Agents:
Jamaal Anderson
Ryan Diem
Pierre Garcon
Anthony Gonzalez
Anthony Hill
Jacob Lacey
Robert Mathis
Dan Orlovsky
Mike Pollak
Jamey Richard
Jeff Saturday
Ernie Sims
Jacob Tamme
Reggie Wayne
Philip Wheeler
If my numbers are correct then we are actually sitting very good . Like I said, it is very early and maybe some of my numbers are off. I have been very close at knowing our cap over the past 10 years or so though.
-
When did Irsay make this clear? Didn't he say quite the opposite? Hasn't Peyton been seen throwing? Is the fusion not 100%? Who are you to tell him to "come to grips with reality"?
Just curious as to how you think you know this.
Just pay attention. Listen to what Irsay is saying.
-
Jim Caldwell has been hired by the Baltimore Ravens as a Quarterbacks Coach.
Even though this wasn't a real trade, I am still going to think of it as the greatest trade in Indianapolis Colts history.
-
Freakin' theives.
I'm going to hold this against them for the next 30+ years.
Actually this is something they should really hold against us. lol
-
I didn't provide any %'s. I'm not sure if you added the sacks to the rushes to get that %, but I didn't provide any %'s. I just provided the # of sacks that should be added to the # of passing attempts to signify the # of pass plays.
I see. You were adding in sack totals. I thought you were correcting the percentages.
-
In the NCAA sacks count as rushes.
In the NFL they don't count as a rush or a passing attempt.
The sack yardage goes against the team passing totals, but doesn't take away from the QB.
If the team has 45 rushes and 40 passing attempts and 5 sacks. Then they were balanced 50%/50%.
So the sacks would need to be added to passing attempts to get a more accurate # of pass plays. Of course even then it's not 100% accurate since the QB can drop back, be flushed from the pocket and gain 4 yards rushing, so a called pass play, turns into a rushing attempt.
But the best way to determine the pass/run ratio without tracking/charting film would be to take rushing attempts vs. Pass attempts & sacks added together.
Again I can't speak for everyone but this is already understood.
Now how and the heck did you get 50% run in 2009?
That was my point about "where you got the numbers from" to begin with.
-
Also note that 2010 was the year BBR missed time due to his off season escapades in a tiny Georgia Bar so they likely leaned on the run during that stretch more than they would have with BBR playing.
I just assumed everyone would know that.
That said, What do you think he will do with a rookie quarterback?
Not too hard to see we will be a team relying heavy on the rushing attack.
-
When the QB takes a knee to end the half or the game, it ALSO counts as a run play, although it was never intended to do anything more than run down the clock
Yes. We all know this. Thanks. lol
-
yes, and by "nfl statistics" a sack counts as a rushing attempt...although it was obviously a called pass play that results in a sack...you dont "sack" the QB when the RB has the ball...
So like he said, every QB sack allowed by Pittsburgh also was a called PASS play
Yes, I undrestand that.
But his numbers are way off. He has 50% run in 2009 vs me having 44% run in 2009.
-
If you add in the sacks as pass plays it will adjust your ratios a little bit more towards the pass.
2008 49
2009 50
2010 43
2011 42I am not sure where you are getting your numbers from, but mine came straight from NFL.com in the attempt pass and attempt run category.

With Arians as OC, I don't know why you would think we will shift to a run first, smash-mouth offense. Arians (much to the chagrin of Steelers fans) is one of the most pass-happy coordinators in the league
The Steelers Offense Under Arians:
2008: Run 460 Pass 506 (47% Run)
2009: Run 428 Pass 536 (44% Run)
2010: Run 471 Pass 479 (50% Run)
2011: Run 434 Pass 539 (45% Run)
