Vontae Davis and Pat Angerer OUT

[NCost12]

Vontae Davis and Pat Anger are out for this game against the Packers. Freeney will be a game-time decision. Any thoughts?

[coltsfanatic24]

yeah it's going to be very hard to win without vontae.

[Superman]

Looks like Angerer had a setback on Wednesday, because he didn't practice yesterday, and now is out. Not surprising, given the injury, but it also probably reduces the likelihood that he'll play next week.

[krunk]

I don't like this at all.

[JoKeR]

My expectations of what the Colts need to do doesn't change. The defensive front 7 will still have to play lights out.

[chad72]

Angerer, we can do without since our LB corp is deeper than other positions. Vontae Davis however is way more important. The only good news is that Greg Jennings is out, so our No.3 CB goes against their No.3 WR James Jones. Jermichael Finley however is a huge mismatch for us, Jerrell Freeman better bring his A+ game in coverage.

[ericnan]

I agree that Vontae being out is a bigger deal than Angerer at this point. Of course I hope Pat reads this and when he does come back to play, he rips the head off a few RB's in anguish at my comment. Much love Pat, but we have a bunch of LB's that are decently good, not so much on the CB position. Jennings being out is a plus though, so we may match up ok on the recievers. We HAVE to get after Rodgers, but I am pretty sure GB knows that too! :throwback: :coltslogo:

Tough.....

We've got to gameble because sitting back ...he'll do what he wants to do..

A few more disguised blitzes......changing up coverages (although that's harder wth backups)

..hopefully they can go at the NYJs........a game we have chance to steal

[Corndog]

I agree losing Davis hurts more than Angerer, especially since I believe Freeman may be better in pass coverage than Angerer and he needs to cover Finley. Luckily Jennings is out which seems to equalize things.

[Gavin]

Not surprised they are out, I was just waiting for it to be official, Vontae being out is huge as far as our secondary, as well as Reitz as far as pass protection is concerned

[IndyTrav]

I initially said I thought Freeney would be out two months. We shall see. He himself was doubtful about playing. I doubt we see him

[Gavin]

Seth Olsen is out to

[Coltswarriors]

Everyone we thought we'd have back for the Packers game looks like they might not play at all.

This sucks.

[krunk]

Seth Olsen is out to

He's "out" even when he's playing!

[Gavin]

He's "out" even when he's playing!

yep but the question is, who will go in his place, Reitz is out, Satele (who was a Guard in Oakland) is questionable and my guess is out come game day, Mcglynn cant play both Guard spots he is barely serviceable at 1

[krunk]

Yeah the devil is certainly playing the fiddle this weekend! Will somebody please make a phone call to Trai Essex? Please!

Jeesh! Even King is not going to play, that leaves us with Butler, Powers, Gordy, and Vaughn. Heck they may even have to call Marshay Green up from the practice squad. This sucks!

[krunk]

I guess we'll be looking at Linkenbach and Mcglynn for the guards.

[throwing BBZ]

Reitz out also. Things are setting up for the very high draft pick we need badly. Sure would like a healthy O-Line tho. Hard to develope offense continuity without good line play.

The way it goes, deal with it.

[TKnight24]

That's Fine. We just do what the Seahawks did, constant Pressure. Freeney, Mathis, & Redding just have to become the Leaders of the Front 7 come Sunday

[TKnight24]

Looks like Angerer had a setback on Wednesday, because he didn't practice yesterday, and now is out. Not surprising, given the injury, but it also probably reduces the likelihood that he'll play next week.

I have him coming back for the CLE Game. I didn't expect him to come back this week

Vontae Davis and Pat Anger are out for this game against the Packers. Freeney will be a game-time decision. Any thoughts?

Yes - this is a serious and sincere question.

We've only played 3 games this year and already have several key players injured.

Is this a conditioning issue with the Colts? Or, are other teams having similar issues this early?

As a non-expert football fan, seems like something is wrong here.

No willy..its not just us..

The Jets have lost 2 starters for the season.....

Denver has lost their starting center..and their right guard hasn't played all season....

Vontae wasnt even our player until the week of the opener..

Just bad luck..

[hawkeyes]

Hmmmm really makes ya dislike all the talk leading into the bye that they'd all be back after it ...

[Smonroe]

Seth Olsen is out to

Out of town would be even better.

[Jules]

My expectations of what the Colts need to do doesn't change. The defensive front 7 will still have to play lights out.

I hear ya Joker, maybe we can channel some 2007 Giants front 7 magic. Everyone, send positive vibes and karma headed to our Colts for this Sunday. :cloud9:

Arians still makes it sound like Freeney will play. I think Freeney plays too unless he wakes up Sunday and his foot is gone or that bad. And as usual, this D in Indy is a different beast with old Dwight in there.

INJURY UPDATE – Bruce Arians said guard Joe Reitz, cornerback Vontae Davis, guard Seth Olsen, cornerback Justin King and linebacker Pat Angerer will not play. All other players will be game-time decisions. Linebacker Dwight Freeney did fine in Friday’s practice. “He’s more than ready,” Arians said of Freeney.

[krunk]

yep but the question is, who will go in his place, Reitz is out, Satele (who was a Guard in Oakland) is questionable and my guess is out come game day, Mcglynn cant play both Guard spots he is barely serviceable at 1

[IinD]

Wow, we literally have 1 backup olineman.....this is going to be an ugly beating.

They better have Luck rolling out every play to help him survive.

[Smitto]

I feel an upset this week, colts win 27-24...seems like games this year are much closer than ever.

[dgambill]

Well with Davis out we get to see what things would have looked like without trading for him. I'm pretty sure people will be changing their tune about how bad a trade that was.

Look...this is why we are at the bottom of the league and will be picking in the top 10 next year. Not because Luck is bad or we don't have any playmakers but because we are so very very thin across the board. Most of our starters would be border line to even make the 53 man roster on most the teams we play much less the people we have behind them. We are woefully thin across the board and in the NFL where injuries are expected that is why winning more than 5 or 6 games would be a big stretch for us.

Hopefully we add a stud in the first round next year and we use that cap space to strengthen our core.

[Malakai432]

Believe it or not even though Vontae hasn't been playing great as of yet he sure as heck does make this team better and it does blow big time with him and Angerer being out. This new D needs at least some time playing together somewhat healthy as a cohesive unit. Doesn't help that Freeney, Angerer and Davis ala 3 studs might be out. Lets hope DF comes back at least.

[sixfive]

It is funny to me. Everyone loves Vontae now, that he is out for this game. Just two weeks ago alot of people on here wanted to burn him on the steak. Funny how that works, ohh it is going to be hard to cover without him out there. Two weeks ago it was Vontae got burnt, Vontae got a pass interference call. Now it is we love you Vontae, turn coats. Get well Vontae and shut up all of these naysayers. Go Colts

Haters hate no matter what. I could list 100 people that posters have wanted burned alive over the past 6 seasons.

[Andy]

Surprised about Angerer, really thought he would play. Either way, Conner and Freeman should continue their success.

Davis isn't a shocker, but if there was one game we needed him, it was this one. Sucks that King is out too. I don't exactly like Powers, Gordy and Vaughn vs Nelson, Cobb and Jones.

[Andy]

Looks like Angerer had a setback on Wednesday, because he didn't practice yesterday, and now is out. Not surprising, given the injury, but it also probably reduces the likelihood that he'll play next week.

...or he could be resting it knowing that he could re-injure in this game. Maybe he's worrying about next week and the week after that.

[The Peytonator]

As they say, when it rains it pours.....

An interior Oline of Linkenbach, Shipley, and McGlynn.....talk about a brick wall. A Cornerback trio of Powers, Gordy, and Vaughn.....oh well, back to square one.

Someone refresh my memory, when Irsay cleaned house did he get rid of the much maligned Strength and Conditioning coach?

[Superman]

...or he could be resting it knowing that he could re-injure in this game. Maybe he's worrying about next week and the week after that.

My feeling is that, since he didn't practice all week, that there was a setback. If it was a gametime decision, I'd feel a little different.

Of course, I don't know anything. And I certainly hope for the best for next week.

[Gavin]

Angerer could re-injury it in any game so there would be no fear of him re-injuring it in this particular game, it could happen any time.

[colts8718]

Vontae Davis and Pat Anger are out for this game against the Packers. Freeney will be a game-time decision. Any thoughts?

Idid not like the Davis tradfe and 2 give away a 2nd pick plus a 5th , this is 1st move our new GM blew it has desperation written all over it. He will be a BUST Freeney to me does not care anymore no contract beyond this year he is coasting through the season Its all about the Money,they should have traded him this was a no BRAINER

It is good to see Freeney's name not on that list. I think King has more pass interference calls than tackles so far this season.
