RJF: Out several weeks....

[NewColtsFan]

I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so I thought I'd put it in circulation...

 

 

Rick Jean Francois is out two to four weeks with a planter facia injury that is not supposed to be as bad as the one Bjorn Werner suffered.    Pagano speaks highly of RJF here...

Also, read on the Colts blog that Linkenbach, who filled in for McGlynn, also suffered a minor injury and will be out this week.    It's not clear who will be playing RG this week,  but it doesn't seem like McGlynn as of this writing....

 

And the hits just keep on coming.............

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Pretty sure he'll be out till the playoffs/even longer unfortunately. Idk what spell Mcglynn is using to injure his replacement, but it needs to stop. 

[CanuckColt]

Yeah, it is one of those years...too many injuries CAN and WILL destroy your season. 

We can only keep on trying and roll with the punches and do the best we can....but no SB game this year.

[snkdy]

More of our bad luck.....

[BlueCollarColts]

please play with Joe Reitz not McGlynn, I like Reitz more than Linkenbach anyway, but I like them both better than McGlynn

[fatboy]

Bad luck or good luck? I mean a different injury could mean he'd be out for playoffs.

[Franklin County]

Put Reitz on the left and Thornton at the right side where he belongs, McGlynn at center and Satelle on the street.

[lollygagger8]

Play McGlynn....but at center. Cast and all he's better than Satele. 

[Caleb3502]

Here comes....Xavier Nixon

[SOMDColtsfan]

Fili will have to step it up

[Coltsman1788]

All these friggin injuries...aye yie yiiiie.

At least with this injury we should be able to see some more of Hughes.

I still believe in these Colts, but to be quite frank, it's difficult to get hyped about anything other than winning the division.  Anything can happen, I'll be pulling for them and the whole 9 yards.  But because of all these injuries, my expectations on the post season have been shot, and thus, any desire to get my hopes up.  Sigh...

Yep. If the Colts were a stock, I would've sold out my shares weeks ago. This could still be a dangerous darkhorse riding into the post season, poised to take out a "better" team and send them home. Not really counting on anything beyond a possible game 1 upset.

Not sure if you noticed, but Pagano speaks highly of EVERY player he is coaching...the exaggerates the living daylights out of his description of his players so much that his credibility is greatly diminished.  You need to take what Pagano says with a grain of salt...actually make that a pound of salt...perhaps several pounds of salt.

I just laugh at him now in his pressers when he talks about a player.

[1959Colts]

We will do just fine without Francois.

Time to put Montori Hughes in the darn game.

You and I see Pagano very differently.    Doubt we're going to find much common ground on that topic.

 

So,  I'll simply leave it with agreeing to disagree........

[HtownColt]

Yea Pagano said Fili Moala will start with Montori backing him up as the 3 tech end. Moala is the better pass rusher than RJF but what we gain in pass rush we lose in run defense between Moala and RJF

I charted RJF in this game. I had him +6 against the run (17 plays, 6 positive, 0 negative), -1 against the pass (11 plays, 1 positive, 2 negative). That's a pretty strong game.

 

This kind of charting is always subjective. If I think he won a matchup, he gets a positive. If I think he lost a matchup, he gets a negative. If the matchup was a wash, it's a 0. Someone else might get a different result from watching the same plays; 'tis the inherent issue with taking PFF's ratings at faace value.

 

Just for whatever it's worth.

You can disagree with someone's comments all day long...it doesn't really make you right or agreeable.  All it really does is sets yourself on an island...and its your word versus Pagano's, or PFFs, or whomever your source is.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is...while i'ts okay to disagree...you play with a different consequence when you call yourteam's coach's credibility into question.
