Jason Belser was a really good safety for the Colts during the Harbaugh years that has now almost been completely forgotten. I also don't think Tarik Glenn gets his full due. I think he should be in the ring of Honor and it's kinda sad that he's not.

Im too young to know about Belser though I've heard of him. And I agree about Tarik Glenn. I would add Ryan Diem as well. Never elite but was super reliable.

Yeah I also think Joseph Addai was better than most give him credit for, granted no Edge, Faulk, or Dickerson but he was pretty good, especially his first two years here

 

Two other forgotten Colts from the pre-Manning years are Jeff Herrod and Duane Bickett.  Both were pretty good linebackers in their day.

Ellis Johnson was a solid DT for us from '95-'01. Not great but solid

 

Brad Scioli DT for us showed promise but just could not stay healthy

 

Jake Scott...Though I don't think most forget him

 

Hmm...Im out if we are talking about forgotten players

i cant forget about him though, the guy had a heck of a career.  he played on offense, defense and sp teams, and he won three super bowls

 

also his TD against the patriots was one of the more memorable plays of our 2006 super bowl run for me

Man there are a lot of them:

  • Albert Bently - RB turned FB when the Colts signed Dickerson, total team player
  • Billy Brooks 
  • Clarence Verdin - Great all around ST player and could be counted on for an exciting play or two.
  • Terrence Wilkins - Another ST, I think he is still the only Colt to score a TD on a KR, PR and a reception in the same game.  He was like 5'8" 160lbs but he made is mark.
  • Justin Snow - The Colts did not have to worry about a long snapper for 10+ years with him
  • Ryan Lilja, he and Scott formed probably the most athletic pair of guards in the NFL.
  • Adam Meadows, played out of position at LT his rookie season but then moved to RT and 
  • Ken Dilger.  One of the best all around TEs in the game.  And then he eevn threw a TD pass.

Dom should've been SB MVP...

Rhodes played well that game but he didn't do anything special.  It was Manning that read the D nearly perfectly every time and checked to the correct play.  Dom grinded it out but he basically just ran where Manning told him to behind an oline that was dominating Chicago's front 7.

Ha, good point...

So if you use this line of thinking Pete Carroll should've been MVP last SB???

Ha...

Well, other than the "P" in MVP stands for player. ;)

ha, maybe we can just alter it to "Most Valuable PLAYCALLER" for comedies sake...

 

wonder how The Pacific Northwest Coast is still dealing with that ordeal, will be interesting to see how that team responds this season, especially with San Fran seemingly in disarray & with Arizona's potential & the possible emergence of  & St. Louis...

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      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.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      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.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
