[Keys to beating the Redskins]

My number one worry is... Colt McCoy picking us apart.

Yes.  We tend to make the mediocre look stellar.  Why does that always happen here?

[what can be done to fix the o line?]

what can be done to fix the o line?

 

Buy one?

 

Seriously, we should draft few good men there. Or consider signing Incognito. 

 

Not a fan of Incognito, but with major injuries on the line (first Donald Thomas and now Hugh Thorton), I think it should be considered.   

[Lucas Oil could host Rams Vs Raiders monday]

and lets be honest..its St. Louis (4-7) vs. Oakland (1-10)

.....Folks might protest here if we DID host it

 

I'd probably just get a ticket and go watch some football.

[Colts claim Shaun Phillips (Merge)]

As long as it doesn't turn out like that time Tony Dungy picked up Simeon Rice and bought him to Indy.  He was awful!

I'd prefer that he turn out like Booger McFarland in Indy. 

[The Beat Goes On For Texans]

Honestly, I never knew that the guy even saw the field.  

[Should Indy sign Ray Rice? [Merge]]

He'll go to the Calgary Stampede for a year or two and then the Raiders or Bengals will sign him.  

[Luck is such a nerd but you gotta love him!]

The other game I noticed luck getting hit and the congratulating the other teams players who hit him . I saw him do it 3 or 4 times just Sunday. I have never seen a guy act that way to an opponent. I dunno it's just funny to me. Another thing speaking of luck getting hit... How many opponents has he kinda hurt when they try and tackle him when he is running. I swear I have seen 2 or 3 guys hit luck while he is running and then I'm like oh no!!! Then luck pops right up and be other guy is laid out hahaha. Dude is a nerd but a freaking beast. Would I change anything about him? Heck no.

 

He's showing them that he's not intimidated by them. 

[Worst NFL Uniforms]

Old style LA Rams uniforms were much better.

Maybe they'll use them next year....in LA.

[Colts Coordinators]

I'd like Wade Phillips or Rex Ryan, though Phillips probably wouldn't want to stay too long.

 

Chud might work at OC but I think Pep is getting better at OC.  I'd love to see a new blocking scheme, though.  

[Would you want the Colts to hire Jim Harbaugh?]

I never said it did....you were the one the brought up his sideline behavior.

And what there record is at the moment is irrelevant

 

It would be embarrassing to have a coach who is that childish. That's my point....that, and it doesn't help.

[All things Jonotthan Harrison (Merge)]

In my opinion, his snaps are too high and he doesn't have the snap count down.  

[Hugh Thornton OUT with MCL Sprain]

@KBowenColts: Chuck Pagano says Hugh Thornton has an MCL sprain. He will be week-to-week.

Perfect time to shuffle the line. Move Reitz to G & Nixon to T if Cherilus still can't go

Other news:

@KBowenColts: Pagano says Loucheiz Purifoy is undergoing concussion protocol after being re-evaluated today.

Another update:

@KBowenColts: With Gosder Cherilus looking to return Sunday, Pagano mentions Nixon/Shipley/Reitz as possibilities at right guard with Thornton’s injury.

 

I like moving Reitz in THornton's spot and Nixon into Cherlius' place.  Then put in Shipley at Center.  

[Would you want the Colts to hire Jim Harbaugh?]

That squirrel might do better than Chuck Pagano!

 

Not a huge Pagano fan and I believe he may be a better coordinator, but two out of his three years here the Colts have been in the play offs...(that one was mostly Arians while Pagano was out).  

[Would you want the Colts to hire Jim Harbaugh?]

Who care as long as the team is successful. This isn't high school football.

 

Nor does screaming and yelling win games.  

 

SF has the same record we do. 

[Would you want the Colts to hire Jim Harbaugh?]

At least he has a pulse.

 

So does the squirrel running around my back yard.  

[All off the Falcons bandwagon....again]

I think the Braves get more support than the Falcons. Atlanta is a little like the Cardinals in St. Louis.

You're definitely right about that.

[Would you want the Colts to hire Jim Harbaugh?]

We def need to upgrade. I don't know about Harbaugh tho. Wish we offered Arians a deal. I never wanted him to go....I didn't think chuck would do this bad tho. Chuck is soft.

I like Arians as well.  I don't blame him for going but he would have been great to keep.  

[Would you want the Colts to hire Jim Harbaugh?]

No thanks.  He makes a fool of himself on the sidelines with his constant temper tantrums.  More emotion than coaching.  

[All off the Falcons bandwagon....again]

Falcons fans are an interesting group.  The truth is that there are very few die-hard Falcons fans in Atlanta; you'll always have those but many are fair-weather fans.  Many fans like the team but don't expect much-just like our Colts in the pre-Manning/Harbaugh and post-Unitas era.  

 

The team in Georgia is the Dawgs or even Alabama or Auburn for some.  College ball is more important to fans in Atlanta.  

 

I used to go to Falcons games when I lived there but I couldn't get into them that much. 1) I'm a Colts fan  2) There wasn't much to cheer about---I was there for Vick's first start, though.  

[Adrian Peterson as a Colt - Thoughts?]

I think they need to reevaluate the blocking scheme and adjust the line with the best personnel we can find as well.

 

I'd love to have AP or Lynch but I think that they won't do well behind our line as it is now.  

[Allen, Cherilus, and Toler out Sunday]

Purifoy may get some snaps as well.  

[How has Hugh Thornton played this year?]

Not to hijack your thread and I'm speculating here but I think the whole line plays better with Shipley on it, Thornton included.  Who knows if we'll ever see Holmes as he should have been back weeks ago.  Maybe he's hanging out with Tupac, Biggie, Elvis, and Jim Morrison on some island. 

[Chuck Pagano]

I feel like there are a lot of times we are outcoached, if I am being honest. I like they guy, but... I just can't even imagine the success we would have if we had Bill Belichick coaching this team. 

I've often wondered if there's a Bill Belichick "Lite" out there somewhere who is presently a coordinator on some team.  

 

I think we get out-coached a lot....maybe in the Philly game or more illustrative in the last two (horrible) losses.  

 

On another note, I think we need an O-line specialist here.  Teams do it with scrubs and do better than we do.  

[DQ Jackson]

I have not gotten a great look at Muamba other than preseason.  I like his coverage ability if he is up with the game speed.  I am not against Andy Studebaker in the middle either.

 

Ooh, nice.

[DQ Jackson]

Seen "DQ" and clicked the thread expecting talks of Dairy Queen Food, leaving the thread disappointed

I thought the same thing.
