Pagano gives the kiss of death

[Dustin]

[TKnight24]

Robinson fumbling in his first game and going for 13 yards rushing total on the day

[RockThatBlue]

But can he chop wood?

[Lucky Colts Fan]

Of course he said that.  He also called him a "team guy", said he had "grit", and said he will "play his tail off".  Are we surprised?  I'm not.

 

Chuck is Chuck.  Love him or hate him, he is going to keep doing and saying what got him to this point.

 

I, for one, prefer Chucks' "coachspeak" to Belichicks' "coachspeak".  Belichick might be a better coach, but I would rather have Chuck, just like I preferred Dungy over Belichick.

 

Caldwell... well, that's another story...

 

But Robinson is a rolling ball of something.  Nicknamed "Bowling Ball" for a reason.

Iron sharpens iron.  He's gonna keep digging.  He has grit.

Definitely a horseshoe guy,

[BlueCollarColts]

lol

[21isSuperman]

There's no quit in him

[peytonmanning18]

Well if he turns out as good as our last "rolling ball of butcher knives" at least it won't have cost us a 1st round pick. Hopefully he "chops wood" better than our last rolling ball of butcher knives.

He has blue traits

Actually, I thought the "kiss of death" was head coach Rex Ryan's annual SB guarantee in NY before the season even kicked off. To each their own I guess. Rex finally stopped doing that in Buffalo now so better late than never right Rex?

We haven't significantly upgraded our O-Line, so I think 13 yards is a tad ambitious....

[Ja'Crispy]

AND he wears 34. It was nice knowing ya kid!

[bestQBever]

I have high hopes for him as I did with richardson but if it doesn't work out then so be it. he was a 6th round pick.

[NewEra]

The arrow is pointing up

[southwest1]

I didn't see Mr. Robinson play any games on TV at Mississippi State, but the more I learn about this kid's adversity & watch You Tube clips of him in action the more I like him. 

 

I just want a north/south guy who runs between the tackles & keeps the ball covered & tight to his body. If he can do that great; if not, so be it.

 

Just remember to critique him on his ability & not just his strong story of survival Coach Pagano. INDY isn't a charity or the Red Cross. We are in the business of winning playoff games.

Put it like this, he was a huge part in Miss St. Being a top 5 team for a good part of the season last year

Nah, I'll take the SB winning coach regardless of what he talks about

Your wins do the talking, not you at a press conference

[ColtsBlueFL]

He's a Horseshoe guy.  He's a pillar guy.

[CanuckColt]

Geez, I wish Chuck would lose that phrase...it makes him appear like a dummy who has to use his favorite cliches over again because he is unable to think of appropriate words to say.

For Gawd sakes, Chuck, get rid of THAT cliche and all the other ones that come off as so stupid.

 

...positively annoying, even for a Colts fan.

[Esquire59]

I hear Josh is a "real gamewrecker". Get so old.

So you would sacrifice integrity for trophies? Good to know.  There is this team in the northeast that would love to have you as a fan...

Integrity? Seriously? In this league?

You can't be serious

[Lucky Colts Fan]

Integrity? Seriously? In this league?

You can't be serious

Yes.  I am serious.  Integrity is important.  Do you disagree?

[SteelCityColt]

Agreed. I hate cliches. I avoid them like the plague.

I'm glad you said that early doors.

[Superfly Jay]

Chuck is still saying that dumb catch phrase.

[HtownColt]

As long as he "sticks to the process" he should be fine

[TKnight24]

Yes. I am serious. Integrity is important. Do you disagree?

In this case, yes. NFL is one of the most corrupt spots out here. Integrity isn't exactly their strong point. But to say you'd take integrity over SB wins is just beyond me but to each their own

[Lucky Colts Fan]

I guess there are two camps:

 

1. Do whatever it takes to win

 

2. Win or lose, do things the right way

 

Any segment of the population would probably split down the middle on this issue, but I'm in camp 2.

 

Of course, camp 3 would probably say you need people from both camps to accomplish anything worthwhile...

Fixed it for ya. I love the guy, and most everything he says. 

[CoachLite]

Perhaps you heard it wrong. "A bumbling butterball of butchered knaves"?

[colts8718]

He is already better then Trent Richardson

[pgt_rob]

"schtick to the prochess"

[Coltsman1788]

Well...hopefully the "rolling ball of butcher knives" moniker will be more applicable to Robinson than it was for Richardson.  It's not like Trent's shoes are too big to fill or anything.     As long as Robinson hits the right hole hard and falls forward...it will be an improvement.

[CanuckColt]

As long as he "sticks to the process" he should be fine

Ha, ha, ha!  We don't even need Chuck to do the interview.  You can do it for him.

[Gavin]

Im excited to see what the kid will do but right now its just all meaningless talk,

[indyagent17]

What a stupid think for coach to say, he praised TRich with that comment and now on Robinson,  Me thinks Coach is a little short sided on his choice of accolades

[Gavin]

Kiss of death....

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Of course he said that. He also called him a "team guy", said he had "grit", and said he will "play his tail off". Are we surprised? I'm not.

Caldwell O_O.

By all means just go over and join the Patriot fan base. Some of your comments suggest you are not an especially strong Colt fan. Your negativity causes this mind set.
