This has been brought up before, but I saw something Thursday night that I hadnt seen before. Peyton seemed to pretty well be the coach on offense walking up and down the sidelines and even onto the field.

How many of you think he will go into coaching after his career? High school, College, NFL?

he is a natural.

I think he will be back in the NFL at some position, be it coach or GM or scout or whatever. He loves the game too much to just walk away from it and never return. However, I think after he retires, he will take some time off from the game and spend time with his family before returning.

Could you imagine having Peyton as your coach? Just imagine if a player messes up..."Take off your pads and jersey and hand 'em to me....I'm going in!"

The other option is that he buy the Colts from Irsay..

I don't know about that one. I don't think Irsay would be willing to sell the team. And being the owner would (I assume) take more time and commitment than being a coach and I don't know if Manning will want to do that.

I thought his son-in-law is taking over when Peyton retires? Didn't Irsay say he is done when Peyton is done?

I say this all the time about great players. They rarely make great coaches. People like Peyton simply can't understand and can't relate to the mortals with normal talent, or more prevalent in Peyton's case, normal work ethic and attention to detail. He'd ride his players too hard and eventually lose the locker room. Even though I'm usually skeptical of college coaches coming to the NFL, Jim Harbaugh was the perfect model of a coach I'd want. A player with some talent, but also a guy that needed to learn every loophole, every shortcut, every X and O that would allow him to maximize that talent. Peyton is psychotically competitive on a level that maybe only 10 athletes of all time could understand.

On a smaller level, I'm a high school coach, and I'm constantly frustrated that my players aren't naturally as competitive as me, and I can tell you, it's the most maddening thing a coach can endure

      Practice Squad

      By Indianapolis-Colts-Fan · Posted

      The criteria is the Colts want to keep you but you’re a fringe player. It all comes down to how much the Colts like your nephew. He could surprise and if he does they may not want to put him on the PS out of fear of losing him to another team. The good thing is the Colts love their oline players, and will keep lower level draft picks/UDFA lineman over other positions. There’s quite a few later round guys the colts have kept on that have shown to be pretty good level guys with bright futures.    there’s not really any criteria for being signed to the PS other than they want to see how much better a guy can get over there.    most of the time, an older guy is either ineligible for the PS because of how many games he’s started, or it’s not worth it because you see what the guy is over what he can become (as he’s been in the league a while).   odds are the younger guy gets signed to the ps over the older guy.

      Remember all those years we watched Mannings fluttering passes downfield? 100 Int's even over his 1st 5 seasons. Not counting many Playoff interception disasters.  No flutters for AR ! Just less closing time for the D.

      I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.

      Practice Squad

      I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.

      I thought he said he wasn’t going to play BB?  How old is that video?
