Yeah this could be a blessing in disguise, meaning it may keep him healthy for the stretch run playing less games assuming he does come back 100% and can play.

That's a very cup half full approach lol.  If I was the opposing OC I may never call a running play.  JIM BOB COOTER is licking his chops.

Ok all I can picture is some uncle Jesse from dukes of hazard looking hillbilly literally licking and sucking pieces of greasy pork chop out of his beard. Thank you for that visual lol

All will be fine. If losing one guy for the first quarter of the season (other than a guy named Andrew Luck) is going to do us in, we aren't that good in the first instance. Next man up and let's win some football games.

The defense isn't that good to begin with. Even Pagano said VD is the key to the defense.

I'm usually a glass half full type of guy but I'm not very optimistic about this years defense without Vontae, minus the DL/MLB's. It's essential in this league to have either/or a good pass rush or good corner play. Without at least one of the 2 we will get picked apart. Here's to hoping we can generate some pass rush out of our DL/Mathis or somebody steps up big in either of these areas. Go Colts!

tough blow...but we survive him being gone if he comes back healthy mid-season

 

I think if Vonte misses half the season the Colts do NOT make the playoffs.

 

Let's hope neither one of us has to find out and that Vonte is back long before the mid-way point of the season....

two to four weeks from now? Or two to four in regular season?

 

Two to four weeks from the injury. It makes sense now why he is in a full cast, the more you move a sprained ankle the worse it can get, they seem like they are trying to fast track the healing process by setting it in a full cast.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
