what players could we have taken instead of Werner?  he seems to always be injured.

DeAndre Hopkins is basically Reggie Wayne Jr.

 

Xavier Rhodes is playing well

 

That being said, I think he will develop into a good player. Just unfortunate that we have so many guys getting hurt

dropping like flies is an understatement.  no excuses however.  it seems like the Patriots are always dealing with injuries.  They are undefeated and playing very well.  I hate to say next man up because I'm starting to toss-up in my mouth a little bit when I hear that, but............................

It's a football thing. I don't think the Colts have any more injuries than other teams.

will Carol who is an injury expert said a study done over the last 15 years showed the Colts have had more injuries than any other team in football over that span. Frankly makes all the winning we have done over that time more impressive.

Not all injuries are created equal. The Titans lost their QB for over a month, Packers lost starting LT before the season even started, Seahawks offensive line is a mess/Percy Harvin. It just gets old hearing this board whine as if other teams don't have to deal with the same issues.

Especially when our hated rival the Pats just lost one of there best players (Wilfork) for the season.

Actually, stats show that Indy is actually one of the most injury bitten teams, historically speaking

 

NO PROMOTIONAL POSTING ON THE SITE2013-articles/september/colts-injury-woes-continue-bradshaw-landry-and-jean-francois-out-for-sunday.html

 

I don't know about the Will Carol study. Will have to look at it.

 

As for the AGL stat, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Colts have more players injured. It means injured players missed more games.

 

Maybe the Colts have had more injuries, or been more adversely affected by them. I know 2010 was ridiculous.

Keep in mind that number was starters only, meaning we were missing enough top guys for long enough to equal about 90 games missed to injury in a 16 game season. Pretty crazy.

Did some research on this injury.  Looks like they cannot fix / repair the actual torn ligament, eventually scar tissue will form and bridge the gap where the tear is and thus the 6 week+ recovery time.  They start out with crutches (no weight bearing), then migrate to a boot with limited pressure then move from there into special orthotics and such.  This injury leads to other symptoms and other foot problems but he's young and will be prescribed special supportive cleats providing optimal support for the ligament, he then should be good.  The best article I could find on it is below.  The NBA sees a lot of these, same numbers as ACL injuries. Get well

And I said it didn't seem good for him.

He's out for 4-6 weeks

I was right .. Again.

U just guessed. I could say that about any player that leaves the field....and be right at times. Or u had some inside information that u kept secret.

I have my sources..

None were certain at the time of my first post.. Just speculation..

Just had a gut feeling that it wasn't a good sign..

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      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.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      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.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      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.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
