    Seems like everyone had someone who could get it 7 + yards deep on the kickoff.

    We regularly stopped them before the twenty. We will see if teams continue to let returners go from that deep.

    A situational thing I guess.

    That 1st blocked punt when #10 Ross I recall was just lazy knucklehead stuff.

    A lot of punt fair catches but they seemed wise. It can`t possibly be as bad as last year. lol

    Funny how so many whined about Polian not signing Free agents.

    Of course he would have had to let More of his own Free agents go to have the $$$ to sign a FA!

    Davis set himself up to get out of Miami and WE got him. We were Desperate for a Quality CB and we have every reason to believe he can be one. And NO he does Not have to be great. Just solid. A bird in the hand.

    How good a cornerback were we going to draft in rd 6 and 7 next year?

    Whalen was a big surprise. As Collie leaves, he steps in? Not a starter just depth.

    Freeney is not following the ball and just getting stuck out there.

    Give me a taller, younger guy. I don`t think Dwight has the exposion he still needs and is just not a tackler.

    Have a lot of respect for him as a Team player, sure would be nice if someone else REALLY wanted him, but I wouldn`t be disappointed if they cut him considering what I think he will contribute this season.

    There will be a lot of "Peyton would have not thrown that ball".

    Because Peyton couldn`t throw that ball. He AVERAGED 20 INTs for his 1st 5 Years. Uh, that sucked!

    Luck is at a different level ABOVE where Manning was as a Rookie.

    Peyton spent YEARS playing Nervous in the pocket. We will see about Andrew.

    There are always issues about being on the same page with your Receivers (think Manning to Porter in SB), but I won`t be worrying about any aspect of Andrews game. Andrew is refined Already compared to his peers.

    Powers isn`t a big time talent. He has been ok/pretty good in the passive cover two when healthy. IMO.

    Will he be good at the more aggressive man to man often required in this new defense.

    No reason at this time to expect him to be "big time" in man to man.

    Cross our fingers.

    We had absolutely NOTHING in our return game last year. Never seen any Team worse.

    Hopefully we can be good at it going forward. It is a Big Deal.

    You just don`t get to pick whoever you want dude.

    Manusky may have been his 7th choice for all we know.

    But maybe also his 1st choice of those definitely available.

    Pagano as head coach, I have no doubt will have HIS own D philosophy all over this Team.

    And really, this 1st year will be all about teaching, culling out those that don`t fit, just turning the ship in the right direction.

    Don`t you think we are at LEAST 2-3 years away from having lots of new players up to speed.

    Pagano may have someone else in mind by then. Wade Phillips? ;- )

    3-13 sounds great to me for 2012. The earlier we draft the better of course. We won 2 with that aweful team so 5-11 is more likely.

    Luck won`t play as bad as manning did his ookie year, with his still rookie RECORD 28 INT. (With Marvin & M Faulk)

    BTW manning Averaged 20 int. a year over his 1st 5 years!!!!!

    The 3 veteran O-linemen we signed should come together pretty well. TE Eldridge in his 3rd yr, hopefully becomes a real force as a blocking TE. If all that is so, we should have a decent running game, especially when he uses a FB. Would be a Big help keeping the DOGS off Andrew.

    Cory Redding was playing at a high level on the D-Line for the Ravens so that is a solid signing.

    Chapman they say is a ROCK at NT, not sure what else we really will get in that rotation.

    Can Fili Moala, Drake Nevis play DE in this D??? One would think Angerer would be fine.

    Sure would be nice if Jerry Hughes fits in this D. Mathis will run wild.

    Freeney hopefully GONE for a trade/picks or Salary dump. I think we are nearly out of cash to pick up Decent ($$$) FRagents.

    There will be Dozens and dozens of good players dumped before the season starts.

    With Freeney`s $14M we could pick Several solid players. I`ll be Shocked if he is on the opening day roster.

    We have about a Dozen 1st Contract (Young) defensive players that were drafted to play Cover 2 Defense. Clearly Not very good at it ;- 0 but some higher level draft picks among them. We will hopefully get half of them to fit the new system. Should be able to figure them out in traing camp.

    Bethea played by himself it seamed most of the time last year. It was Awful in the sec. for sure.

    Picking up a solid FA Safety from the Ravens was excellent. Zbikowski.

    Pagano`s history is that of a Secondary GURU. Excellence all along the way. Sounds GOOD to me!

    ANY offensive or defensive unit has to have experience playing together to be Good!

    No Miracles should be expected in yr 1 of the Defense. We will be in Fabulous shape in the next Draft with as much as $50M or so to spend in FRagency to get TWO Elite cornerbacks next year. Oh yaaa!

    I am grinning from ear to ear about the receiving weapons we have already. inexperience yes, but there is some Blazing speed and players that will work the whole field. Cross our fingers for good health, because i think Andrew will be throwingBBS to some open receivers, and us Diehards will be smiling and grinning, as the whinners and doubters say things like, " why did i give up sooo fast".

    Go Colts!
