[Sign This Guy, Help Shore Up The Run Defense]

He's a industrial size walk in meat locker compared to the Fridge!

[I believe the colts should go back to the 4/3 D here is why]

Thing is, Freeney really doesn't have time. This is the last year of his deal, with Hughes coming into his own we're starting to see there may be no need to re-sign him if we're going to stay 3-4, so if there's anything to see, the sooner we see it the better. The longer we go without seeing it, the more sense it makes to try and get something out of what has turned into nothing.

If there is a move to be made trade-wise, I expect it will be done at the deadline and not a moment before, that way we've exhausted all efforts to give him that time.

Even if he does perform highly this season, I doubt he'll be back unless he takes a hometown discount. We're not going to offer him what he could get elsewhere, so if we can find a team desperate enough to take him on for a pick or two, and Hughes is playing well enough to take the spot, I think we should consider it, especially with all the picks we've traded away recently.

^This^

We need to trade him. I love Freeney, but he's a one trick pony. A very good trick, but still can only do one thing. He is completely lost if he's not rushing the QB. We should trade him while he is healthy, and his stock is still high.

This thread gets closed in 3....2....1.....

[What gives with Zbis?]

Please restore my faith in this guy that I had when I heard we got him. Am I not seeing something that I should be seeing?

I really watched (for) him in the Skins game, because I haven't really heard a peep from him all preseason. I found that he mostly enters the play after someone else is already there, or he comes running up after a play is over.

I really want to like the guy, but what gives with Zbis?

[Trade Stanton Back]

No way we get rid of Stanton. He is a great backup! Harnish isn't far enough along/polished to have him in as a backup.

P.S. I wouldn't let McNabb hold Luck's clipboard. He is washed up.

[FWIW: NFL.com calls Davis a......]

Great move on Grigson's part.

It's alot less epic than Irsay made it out to be though.

Hopefully Pagano can coach him up like he did the Baltimore squad.

[Jim Irsay, now (23/08)]

I feel like I'm standing in line for a midnight movie screening so I'm super excited and geeking out. I just hope it's a Batman/Avengers/James Bond midnight screening, and not a Twilight screening. (Apologies to my wife.)

Hahhahaha agreed.

This waiting around reading rumors is worse than hearing girls tell stories about 50 Shades of Grey

[Jim Irsay, now (23/08)]

Now I'm going to go watch the scene in Mallrats where the guy can't see the sailboat in the 3D picture.

[Interesting Collie Article [Merge]]

Like his Dad said. People can only advise. Collie will be the final decision maker as long as he clears the physicals and docs.

[Jim Irsay, now (23/08)]

18 pages later, my anticipation has turned to disappointment.

[Jim Irsay, now (23/08)]

Right now I feel like the guy who can't see the image in the 3D picture after staring at it for hours.

[Ballard, a beast! ...or not?]

Ballard the Beast!

[Jim Irsay, now (23/08)]

Kuharsky just tweeted it's not for Wallace...

Thank Goodness!! No way I'm giving up a 1st for Wallace. Especially when Avery hasn't even played a down for us. We still need to see if he can stay healthy.

CB is what we need.

[The Manning Decision Now vs. Then]

I was sad when Peyton left, but finally accepted the fact that I'm going to root for the Colts til I die regardless if he was gone or not.

I mean, heck.....I rooted for the Colts the entire time Curtis Painter was at the helm.

As wacky as Irsay seems at times, the man has some serious vision.

[Jets Inquiring About Winston Justice]

Winston Justice must have pretty feet.

[John Clayton's QB List]

Sanchez and Romo should be in a league of their own.

Maybe the most over rated QB's in the league?

[Peyton made Sorgi earn his salary]

Ya, handing that clipboard over to Peyton after every series would be taxing.

[Could Freeney be gone before the end if the season?]

I'll just be happy if Freeney doesn't get hurt.

[Bob Kravitz says cut Austin Collie]

Man, I hate looking at those pics of Collie KO'd in the Kravitz article.

[Bob Kravitz says cut Austin Collie]

If he clears the doctors, then it's his decision to go back on the field. Period. He shouldn't be cut before then though.

I will say though, the TD in the first preseason game that he caught against the Rams, he got up very very slow. I think he was seeing stars then but didn't say anything. Just my opinion.

[What should we do with waivers? [Merge]]

Sounds like the Colts are in a good spot this year for claiming players off waivers then. Yay! Hope we take advantage!

[Have you forgiven Polian/ Irsay?]

I don't care anymore. But................

I will not forgive Caldwell for his "oh we have the lead, so let's play unforgivingly soft" play calling during the superbowl against the Saints.

Oh, and Hank Baskett will never be forgiven.

[Collie concussion discussion (Merge)]

If I was him I'd do whatever it takes to get to be able to wear the Simpson helmet.

[Collie concussion discussion (Merge)]

Discussion is certainly appropriate. I don't mean to imply that it's not. I'm just saying that there's a contingent of individuals who seem to think that Collie should never even look at a football again. Maybe we should just wait and see what the doctors say.

Agreed.

I just hope it's not the same doctors that let him come back (too early) from the first concussion.

[Collie concussion discussion (Merge)]

I'd love to wait....we're just discussing it right now. Last time I checked, a forum is for discussion.
