Bradshaw was a beast

Bradshaw was a beast, you know the O-line loves blocking for this guy, his hard-nosed, physical style or running really fires up an O-line, and the whole team for that matter. He energized this team yesterday,the harder he ran the more fired up the whole team became, they were thriving off of his intensity, and what's great about that is Richardson is the same style or runner, once he gets up to speed, and we have these two intense, physical ground and pound runners the entire team will feed off of this energy, and just like yesterday we will be a physically more dominate team." It's fun being the bully on the block"

Coach Pagano said it best.  "We have to remain humble."  Coming off of uneven efforts against Oakland and Miami...this statement rings true!

 

I love this post JackColt...it has energy just like both Bradshaw and Richardson brought to the offense.  I praised McGlynn and Linkenbach in other threads, but I hope guys are noticing Thornton is a mauler.  He pulls as well as any rookie guard I have seen and always seems in position.  Costanzo and Cherilus get :thmup:  :thmup:  as well!!!  TEAM.....effort in all 3 phases!!!

 

I also love the Trent Richardson quote in Colts.com quotes by Kevin Bowen:

 

 “At first, everything was going fast, but the game did slow down. I hit the playbook real hard and got to studying. I knew the game was going to come to me and I just had to let the game come to me. Also Andrew Luck is a genius and Ahmad Bradshaw helped me out. All the guys on the offense helped me out and they were encouraging. They want to be great and I know why I am here. I am here for the long run and I am not going anywhere. We are going to be a great team.”

do you think Bradshaw is at all upset?  I hope he is not mad about Trent coming on board (regardless of what he says)........ I would hate for there to be discontent amongst the troops.  perhaps deep down he felt a bit threatened or hurt.  But he only has a one year contract.  Why can't we just go ahead and lock him up for another two additional years for about 2.5 mill ?  I think it would be worth it don't you?  I think it would ease his feelings on this whole matter.  Also, i consider AB full-back , TRich tail-back, and both feature back, right?

read some articles - cleveland and browns blogs etc - they are saying, "see, that's what we already knew about TRich, he's good for 2.5 to 3.5 YPC, blah blah blah" ---- i mean, really? he hardly has seen the playbook.  did anyone get the opinion that he is going to be held down to that type of YPC? I don't -- he looks pretty explosive and 49ers are good vs. run.

Bradshaw made a big statement on Sunday that he is number one back on this team. He may not wind up being that but he certainly played great.

    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
