  1. Jake Long is HoF LT who is still young. I wouldn't complain with any of them after watching our line the last couple of years :).

    Definitely not (about our O-Line). I was saying that we could try to get him if we couldn't get Long or if he was too expensive.

  2. I believe next season we will think more about the D, although it's too early to predict lol. I think we will go for DB especially, I don't know who exactly.

    I know, but a lot of franchise OT's are FA's next year. We need to invest in Lucks protection.

  3. I was watching the game when Andrew caught the "catch" and knew right then if we had to loose Peyton, Andrew would do just fine. It truly was some "catch". Can't wait for the season to start. BTW, watching the news reels of Peyton in Indy yesterday, it really seems OK how everything turned out. Peyton will always be a colt in my heart and to hear him praise Luck did it (my heart) much good.

    I turned on my TV just as that play was about to start. I was amazed!

  4. The chances of Luck "surpassing" Manning are about as likely as me getting struck by lightning and winning the lottery on the same day.

    Again, I am excited for Luck, but I'm also rational. One NFL team drafting two of the greatest QBs of all time back to back (with the latter being better than the former) is practically a statistical impossibility. I think Luck will someday be an elite QB in the NFL, but you're comparing him to Peyton Manning, not Ben Roethlisberger.

    Kind of pointless to argue with the Luck fan boys (and girls), huh? I sure as heck hope Luck is every bit as good as you guys say, because Colts fans will be a very lucky fortunate bunch.

    I know what you are saying, but I think that you are underestimating Luck a little. It is not as impossible as you winning the lottery and getting struck by lightning on the same day. He is the most heralded QB to come out in 30 years. He has the potential to be as good or better than Peyton. But I guess we will just have to wait and see.

  5. I can see Mike Wallace wearing a Colts uniform. He is the prototypical Bruce Arian's receiver and he would probably love to pair up with him and Andrew Luck. Plus I see him as one of the only players on that list who will not get a long term deal this season or franchised next season. I'd find it difficult to imagine the Jets not franchising Revis or the Broncos not franchising Clady. The Steelers simply don't have the cap room for Wallace.

    I would love to see us get Wallace, with him knowing Arians system. I think that if we get a top LT, that we could eventually have one of the best O-Lines in the league with a to LT, Costonzo at RT, and Ija at RG. We would need a center and guard, unless someone pans out. I think that if we get a franchise LT, Wallace, Campbell, a Corner in FA, and then have the draft. We could be set for years with all the young talent.

  6. Here I go

    (53 Man Roster)

    QB Luck, Stanton

    HB Brown, Carter, Ballard, Karim

    FB Mahaffey

    WR Wayne, Avery

    WR Hilton, Brazill

    WR Collie, Whalen

    TE Fleener, Allen, Eldridge, Jones

    T Costanzo, Ijalana, Justice, Linkenbach

    G McGlynn, Reitz, Anderson, Olsen

    C Satele, Kirkpatrick

    DE Redding, Nevis, Matthews, Moala

    DT Chapman, McKinney, Anunoby

    OLB Freeney, Mathis, Fuggers, Hughes

    MLB Angerer, Connor, Galippo

    CB Powers, Rucker, Thomas, Johnson, Pellerin, Chism

    FS Bethea, Lefeged

    SS Zbikowski, Caldwell, Merletti

    K Vinatieri

    P McAfee

    LS Snow

    Practice squad (10 man)

    QB Harnish

    HB Karim

    WR Ross

    TE Miller

    CB Buddy Jackson

    OLB Hickman

    MLB Harvey

    OG Foster

    DT Johnson

  7. We obviously will have to look at OLB because wether Freeney plays well or not he isn't signed past next year and if we do resign him we have to look toward the future because he is getting up there in age. Between him and Mathis we will need help in that position.

    To me my priorities (without watching this year) would be LT (premiere), WR(franchise #1), OLB (pass rusher), and CB (a great man corner to move Powers to the #2). Clearly it could change later but just looking at the team as it is that would be my priority. Clearly resigning a couple players like Collie and Powers and such but those positions would get my attention to upgrade with the best available players either in FA or whomever we are likely to get in the draft. We should have close to 50 million in cap space so that leaves roughly after draft picks of 40 million to resign and get 4 or 5 difference makers.

    I just can't wait for next years season, free agency, and draft!!!!

  8. Any comparisons you've seen or would like to make?

    List of ones I have seen:

    Andrew Luck: Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers

    Coby Fleener: Greg Olsen, Rob Gronkowski

    Dwayne Allen: Brandon Pettigrew, Chris Cooley, Jason Witten, Heath Miller

    T.Y. Hilton: DeSean Jackson, Percy Harvin, Davone Bess

    Josh Chapman: Ahtyba Rubin, Jurrell Casey

    Vick Ballard: Chauncey Washington

    Chandler Harnish: Dan LeFevour, Tim Tebow

    Should be interesting to compare their careers to how people see them in terms of current NFL players.

    Fleener is like a tall Aaron Hernandez. Or maybe a fast Gronk...

    Fleener is like Jimmy Graham and Allen is like Antonio Gates. I've heard that Chapman is like Casey Hampton.

  9. Skip Bayless is a legend as a journalist, columnist, and now as a ESPN analyst and he lets players come in if they got a problem with what he said. he paid his dues for 30+ years

    He's too arrogant in his opinions. He always and I mean ALWAYS thinks he KNOWS that what he's saying is correct. He just gets on my nerves the way he attacks athletes!

  10. Realistically we may be able to add (if we have enough cap space) Justin Durant, Ryan Clady, Jason Mccourty, and Calais Campbell.

    Here is their profiles with how much money they have made over the past few years. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/jason-mccourty/ http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/denver-broncos/ryan-clady/ http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/detroit-lions/justin-durant/ http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/calais-campbell/

    They each fill a need and we could adress the rest in the draft.
