I am proud to say I will be at MetLife to root on my hometown team, 13 rows from the field Might I add. With game 1 out of the way, What are some things you will be watching for in game 2?

Here's mine in no particular order:

1. Werner! How will he respond to first NFL game? Will he be bothered by injury?

2. Oline, Oline, Oline: will they improve from week one? Will they be better in pass protection ? (Run defense last week was decent)

3. Will DHB make his presence known? Hold on to the ball?

4. With starters possibly playing first half, who will stand out defensively? Can we create a pass rush and will rush D improve?

5. Can our special teams improve on kickoffs?

What are some things you will be looking for?

This game will give us a pretty good indication of where our O line is.  The Giants have a very talented D line so this is a good matchup to learn how much we have improved.

I honestly dont think it will give us that big of an eye opener as to how good our O Line is, we know who stinks, we know who was drafted/picked up to replace them. Its only a matter of time.......1 years time assuming Thornton and Holmes are 100 percent at some point

We have blocked pretty well in this game.  That line we had last year certainly wouldnt have done this.  I think we are improved, not dominant yet but improvement can be seen.

      Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.

      I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.

      speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By smittywerb · Posted

      more reason to believe that after the top 3 wide receivers, Latu was their guy.  To not accept an offer to move back ONLY 4 spots and gain a top 100 pick is hard to do.  Bet if the rams through in a second instead of a third we might’ve took it.   think about it, if you move back 4 spots you’d still have a shot at one of the two top corners or even Dallas turner.  And we said no thanks, we want Latu.
