I know this will sound crazy and although I miss Marvin and edge, manning without saying (greatest experience ever). I miss addai, when he was younger. Greatest blocker I've seen at running back. Never failed to pick up the blitz.

You don't think that these guys are "forgettable", do you?

There's a name I haven't heard in ages.

 

Deaner was my favorite Colt as a kid...

When I was a kid I would spend hours kicking the football around the yard, choosing different objects to be the "field goal up-rights", two trees, over the swing-set, over the shed, etc. so I guess I just liked the FG kicker...

Not to mention Deaner was one of the best if not the best player on some of those early Indy teams...

Always wanted a Deaner poster for my room when I was a kid, bugged my parents relentlessly for one, unfortunately they could never find one...

 

Anybody got a Biasucci poster they're willing to part with to make my inner childs dream come true????

Jessie Hester !

 

Speed receiver drafted by the Raiders as a Cliff Branch replacement. Signed by the Colts (89 or maybe 90?) and played 3 years with the Colts with decent catch numbers (best year in the 50+ range). Led the Colts in catches 1 year I think.

This is truly a player I forgot.

I also remember that Salisbury Steak, (as Chris Berman would say) was a terrible anaylist..said something inappropriate, (can't remember what), got fired, and I never heard anything else about him ever since..It was like he fell off the face of the earth..

And don't forget about Mr gambler Art Schilcter..who was as bad a QB as he was a gambler..is he still in jail?

I believe Mr. Salisbury called John Clayton the Crypt keeper live on ESPN.

A true Colts fan should never forget players like Clarence Verdin and Bill Brooks.

Thanks Gandalf for the clarification..nice to hear from you again..

 

Oh..here's a good one..he really helped make our epic comeback in Tampa Bay possible...with a long 90 yard kickoff return..Brad Pyatt.

 

Not sure what its all about, but while searching, it seems he became president and CEO of a supplement company, that went bankrupt after ripping off a lot of people...I can find tons of videos and articles about that..but can't find the highlights of that great comeback anywhere...oh well..i would love to see that comeback again..if anyone can find it..please post it..thanks

    • 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. 
    • 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. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
