Colts player tweet...(Bob Sanders)

I saw on Twitter one of the Colts players tweeted to bring Bob Sanders back. I think it was Robert Mathis. I checked today and I think they deleted it. Lol. I wouldn't mind. Just to try as a backup. He was the master of interceptions...

1) my guess is that you completely misinterpreted the tweet.

2) he has been out of the league for at least a couple of years and did not have the most sustainable track record when he was playing

3) when he did play, he was never the master of interceptions. That was not his strength.

FWIW, he has not yet officially retired. You'd think he would be by now, but as far as I know he hasn't submitted his papers to the NFL. Since he hasn't tried to latch on to a team since getting cut by SD, I am guessing he just hasn't felt overly compelled to officially retire. But maybe I missed the news.

Bob Sanders is one of the most game-changing players I've ever seen and is one of my all-time favorite Colts. It's painful to think about how unlucky he was.....if it wasn't for injuries,  it'd still be him and 41 back there. 

 

Miss ya Bob. Hope life is treating you well.

Unfortunately, I don't think Bob will play another game in the NFL despite having much fewer games played than a regular 32 year old player.  However, I wouldn't mind seeing him back as a coach or scout.  I'm not sure if he has a lot to offer in those areas, but I would love to see him back with the Colts in some way

    • I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.    
    • Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.
    • 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.
