SteelCityColt Hall of Famer

Are you guys in the Army or something? Because if a Brit is challenging my knowledge of FOOTBALL, then I am offended.

And we all know there is only one Steel City. Good to see they named a town after Gary Sheffield though. He deserved it. AMERICA!

Ha I had to wiki Gary Sheffield then, I'm afraid to disappoint you with the fact Sheffield was founded near on a thousand years before Pitts so I think it has a fairly good claim at being the original. That and inventing most of the steel making processes (crucible, stainless etc,) I won't bore you anymore but let's just say I know far too much about steel having worked inthe industry. It's heartbreaking to be honest to see it die when it was such a part of the city's identity.

I'd argue the "football"part too, after all we did invent the game......though if you to want to talk American Football then I profess I'm still learning, but you should never stop learning in anything in life. Apologies that my nationality has offended you, I'll try to be less of a Limey in future :) How about Estonian? What with Margus Hunt, is that better though I'm only a quarter Eesti.

I'd never claim to have perfect knowledge of the game, part of why I come on here so much is to try and sponge of those who clearly are students of it. But I do have my own two eyes and a slowly growing football brain which leads me to have opinions. They might be wrong or right but they are mine and I will gladly discuss them with any and all.

That's so funny.  Being from Youngstown, Ohio (which is near Pittsburgh and was also a 'steel city') I felt an affinity with you.  Roll up your sleeves, tossing back an Iron City, and bustin some chops.

 

Now I picture you sipping tea from china cups and obsessing over some royal baby name.

 

J/K

Ha tea is certainly a important part of life, though we don't tend to make a party put of it ;)

I'm not a native of Sheffield but you can still see the influences of it being a steel city, like a lot of industrial towns that have lost it hie industry it's had to reinvent itself somewhat in the face of poverty but there is still strong ties to its heritage in the slang and personality of true Sheffield folk.

Much like many of our cities in the rust belt up north.  Great to have Colts fans overseas, and great to get their perspectives.

I was very impressed by Rayford. For a 6'7" guy, he can get really low. He had a brilliant sack where he just jumped off the line, got low, and just blew past the tackle. His long strides make it easy to get in the backfield quickly.

 

Great to hear.  I listened to an interview he did recently on a podcast.  He sounds like the kind of guy we want on our team.  He refuses to give up the dream, he's a fighter.

 

I hope he makes the team, and if not, then the PS.

More updates from today

 

Josh Wilson @Coltsfanwilson 2h
Looked like Khaled Holmes and Hugh Thornton were out of boots for this morning's walk through. DHB and Joe Reitz participated. #ColtsCamp

 

Josh Wilson @Coltsfanwilson 2h
Pagano said that Landy could be available for Sunday's game. Also said that Josh Gordy and Darius Butler saw time at safety in OTAs.

 

Josh Wilson @Coltsfanwilson 2hIf I had to guess, I'd say there's better chance Josh Gordy sees time at safety Sunday than Darius Butler. Could very well be both, though

@gmbremer: Practice is on. Will be on the turf field at Macholtz Stadium. Might be slight delay. Waiting for storm to blow over. #ColtsCamp

@mchappell51: I'm holding @gmbremer responsible for crappy weather at #colts camp today. Poor job serving as local media host. Expected so much more.

I don't know about you guys but, I have never been this excited for preseason football in all my life.  I'm as anxious for the reg season as all of you, but this is building up to be a very entertaining month, not just for the colts, but I want to see the Eagles offense, the pats situation, welker and peyton, etc...

 

I'm just hoping we get to September with no more injuries...as soon as I hear wet field I get real nervous, be careful boys!!!

@Coltsfanwilson: Pagano said that Joe Lefeged has a slight calf strain. In a boot just for precautionary reasons. #ColtsCamp

@Coltsfanwilson: DHB just jogged slowly off the field and out of the stadium heading back to locker room. Looked like trainer followed.

@Coltsfanwilson: DHB just rode back onto field. Smile on his face. Got up and went to stand on sidelines. Seems ok.

Aaaaaaaaand he's gone.

I wonder if they should give DHB some time off with the trainers to make sure the knee is ok if that's why he left the field. I'm stuck in Florida so thanks to you Dustin and everyone else who has been at camp for all the up to date info!!!!!!!

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
