    Dev players in 2nd round? I highly doubt that. Was the pick of Rock Ya-Sin a dev pick/player? nope. That means subsequently that the players there after are developmental players. Of course you want to develop players to reach their ceilings, but you cant wait to build a team with high picks. With 1-2 round picks you need starters.

    You make a point, but you fail to see the bigger picture????  I gave a response, and my response was for a Safety FIRST!  I guessed you missed that?

     

     We need an OT as our current LT is in his last year and has no current contract.

    An 18 Game Schedule that might work

    Jim Brown was a monster and way ahead of his time but I think 16 games is perfect. For injury purposes mainly. I started watching when I was around 7 years old (1978ish), right when the NFL did away with the 14 game season. I just loved football and became a Colts fan in 1984 because they moved here to Indy. If the NFL does away with the 16 game season and goes to 18 then the records currently held won't mean anything if broken. As in Dickerson's 2,105 in 1 year for example in 1984. If a RB plays 18 games then that could be beaten easier. Same for Peyton's 55 TD's in 1 season. Mahomes could throw for 60 if he plays 18 games?

    Exactly, it soils, can't seem to write the word I want as it comes up as "Saints" the game's history and really puts an unnecessary load on the current players.  The only ones that benefit are the owners and the NFL.

    My thoughts...

     

    When I was born there was a 14 game season.

     

    As I approached "tween years" it rose to 16.

     

    I honestly feel that any additional games should come at the subtraction of pre-season games.

     

     

    Fun fact:  Look at Jim Brown's 1963 season in 14 games.

    Concerning for Leonard. Really hope he gets better and doesn't sufer any long lasting effects from this one.

    As for Campbell...if he had a procedure you'd think he could be out for a few weeks.

    I am definitely concerned about Leonard, hopefully after the bye he is good to go.

    Really hoping the Colts run the ball 30x in this game with a good degree of success. If, they keep it to 10 points I’d be very pleased. Any given Sunday!

     

     

     

    Any given Sunday is correct!  I have watched the NFL for almost 45 years and I have seen just what you posted Mr. Holmes.

    Always thought he played his heart out for the Colts teams on the '70s. Undersized LB known for sticking his nose in there and taking care of business.....

    Thank you for bringing him up and I am saddened by his death.  It is nice to see a few of us remember the old days, and I  hope he rests in peace.

    I’m in the minority with B. McFarland. I don’t think his impact was as huge as folks make it out to be. That defense was terrible until the playoffs and then caught lightning in a bottle for some crazy reason. I will say the shift of R. Morris to the strong side helped a lot and quietly went unnoticed. 

    I can't disagree with your point.  It did help.  As far as your Corey Simon reference, he broke my heart!  So much promise but the dude had some issues.

    I never thought it was that good during the Dungy era, except the year B. Sanders played almost all season and Cory Simon’s lone season. 

    The year with a healthy Booger was about it, although the '95 team had a decent defense.

    Completely agreed! Luck gave the Colts an edge to win close games, with an uneven roster.

     

    The roster is still full of holes, don’t expect Brissett to do the same with this team.  How simple right?

    Well stated Mr. Holmes.  There is a drop off in talent from Luck to Brissett, but neither play defense, which is also an issue.

    We need our other recievers to step up offense last game was terrible for 3 and a half quarters of the game against a bad defense unacceptable.

    A few catches, on easily catchable throws, would have remedied that.
