Training camp and week 1 of the preseason have afforded us a slightly closer look at the current crop of Colts players, coaches and new offensive and defensive schemes.

 

With this in mind, have your opinions changed at all? Are you more or less optimistic than you were a month or so ago?

 

Personally, i still feel we've improved as a team but i also still feel that 11-5 was a very flattering regular season record. I predict that we regress slightly and go 10-6. Whether that's enough to make the playoffs, i don't know.

With all the injuries every team has endured so far, and the Colts have been relatively lucky in that department, I'm a little more optimistic about this team making the playoffs again.

I'm sorry but that's wrong were definitely talented enough for 14-2 bank it.

Prisco has the Bengals winning the SB lol. I don't think they will even makes the playoffs

 

They actually look real good in Hard Knocks.  They're deep.  That division may be the most evenly matched in the NFL.  And they're all good teams. Even the Browns.  If Weeden continues to play like he's been they have an outside shot to win the division.

It all depends on consistency. I do feel like we outplayed ourselves last year, some of that may have had to do with the added emotion of Pagano's illness, or luck (note the lower case). I think a lot of times we put ourselves in a hole by turning the ball over and not creating turnovers. That said, if we gel and Luck does as well or better than last year, I say 10-6 or 12-4. Either way, I think we can win the South in a tiebreaker.

I almost like the Browns better than the Bengals...that D has a lot of potential. I just think some of the talent on the Bengals is overrated....starting with the QB. Then again, I really don't watch the Bengals enough to say.

I think they'll make the playoffs for sure. I think they're a good team but i think they've been slightly over hyped this offseason. 

 

People are probably getting a little too excited about Dalton and a lot of people think Eifert will put them over the top. He'll almost certainly be decent this season but I'm not sure how much he'll contribute.

Browns do look good. O and D coaches have good coordinator track records. If Norv can work with Weeden they may be the surprise of the NFL. We'll get a clearer picture next week.

As far as our record, I know we're better on paper but we're also unproven. We could easily go 7-9 like Prisco predicted. Miami, Tenn, Arizona, even the Rams have all improved. They're our should win games, but they could go either way.

Besides those, we're probably only favored over the Raiders and Jags.

That's tough.  I think we can win 5 division games, and that's pushing it, probably 4 (2 vs Jags, and then our home games, if we're lucky, 5 at TEN). 

 

Vs other AFC W - I think we can beat OAK, and 1 at either SD or KC, probably lose to DEN

 

Vs like opponents - Win vs MIA, probably lose to CIN,

 

Vs NFC W - tough one to gauge.  Win against STL, 50/50 chance against SEA, ARI, lose to SF

 

I think 9 games is realistic, should win 8, best case scenario we win 10 or 11 games.

I would call for a win vs AZ before the Cardinals.

typically I would agree with you, but a change in QB, with that defense changes alot.  Palmer isn't a slouch, even if he's not a top 15 QB.  Their D is fully capable of stopping our offense, and even with Palmer, they could put up 10-17 points against us, maybe more.

I think browns and bengals will compete for division title. As impressive as the browns look imam give bengals edge because of aj green. Browns 10 and 6 bengals 12 and 4.

It wasn't really a shot at the cardinals, I just really like the Rams potential. Although, I think the changing of defensive coordinator could hurt the cardinals D.

I agree but I think the Bengals edge out the Browns.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the Browns get a wildcard birth though.  I think they're definitely on the upswing.  As for Dalton, I think he has a lot of potential that's just not been reached yet and it's too early to say, imo, exactly how far he can go.

I think both the Rams and Cards have a ton of potential, and if the Cards hadn't replaced Ray Horton then I'd have picked them as a sleeper team to make the playoffs. I completely understand why they replaced Horton though...it's just gonna take some time to see if the new DC can keep the D rolling.

      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.
