Buzzwords, buzzwords, buzzwords and more buzzwords.  That's literally all we have to go on right now when it comes to our defense... none of us know and can't accurately predict anything that we'll see this year on defense. Just wait till we play and let's all stop acting like we've seen anything that scares us/intrigues us in the preseason.

One of the most treasured things on here is... civility.  We can disagree and be civil about it.  Thanks.

Our owner basically said the same thing the other day.  

 

The optimistic approach is that we may take our lumps at the beginning of the season but the team should steadily improve as guys come back and the lines gel.  

 

So besides the rough games we'll only have to endure all the whining here.   

 

 

I posted as I did to try to head off some of the whining.

 

I just know that this website was not a fun place after the Philly game,  and that was only pre-season.

 

I'd like to see us fans keep our powder dry.     It's a long season....  a marathon....    this is only the beginning.   Like Irsay,  I hope we get better as the season goes on.

Not a shot at you or anyone in particular,  

 

 

But are posters going to continually point this out daily or even hourly all season?  If you follow the colts or even football in general, by now you should know the question marks on this team. 

 

 

Yes I know i don't have to read it or respond but I wanted to vent.

 

All I know is i hope this team makes a lot of people eat some crow

 

I appreciate the thought,   but as I noted to another poster,  fans here went crazy over our loss to Philly,  and that was only pre-season.      As I noted then,  given our injuries,  a game like that was likely to happen and no one should've been surprised and yet so many fans here were.

 

What I'm really saying is that we'll be a very good team when we're healthy.    Please be a little patient.

 

I didn't think that was a bad message to send.....

Cmon y'all... 2-2 would be an awful start in these first 4. I only entertain the notion that we will lose 2 games because of how slow we have started in the last couple years. I know that anything can happen, but I only see 1 scary game in the 1st quarter of the season. 

 

4-0 is more likely than 1-3 imo... Feel free to rub it in my face if im wrong, though (as is your God-given right as a Colts fan).

Nothing wrong with a 2-2 start considering the new coaches and the players that are out.

      2024 Post Draft Updated Roster + Cap Space Discussion Thread. **OP updated, Top 53 Locks page 4**

      By Scott Pennock · Posted

      In Young's case, he profiled as a Safety when he enrolled at Ohio State and then switched to Linebacker much like the draftee Jaylon Carlies enrolling as a CB then switched to the SS/LB role at Missouri.   Youngs two years as a starter at KU (Compares favorably to Carlies): 25 Games, 101 Tackles, 10.5 for loss, 6 sacks, 2 Ints, 6 PD, 1 FF - converted from S to LB at KU Key Measurables: 6'3" w/33" Arms, 4.56 40-yard dash   Carlies 3 years as a starter as a hybrid SS/LB at Missouri: 38 games, 212 Tackles, 11.5 for loss, 3 sacks, 9 Ints, 9 PD, 3 FF, 1 FR - converted from CB to hybrid SS/LB Key Measurables: 6'3" w/34.25" Arms, 4.50 40-yard dash   Key Measurables in the past for successful Colts Linebackers: Leonard: 6'2" w/34.375 Arms, 40-yard dash skewed due to injury but still ran a 4.70 (we know it was likely closer to 4.5) Okereke: 6'1" w/34.5" Arms, 4.58 40-yard dash Speed: 6'4" w/33.25 Arms, 4.60 40-yard dash   In comparison to LB's we let walk or cut due to low production: Anthony Walker: 6'1" w/30.375" Arms, 4.65 40-yard dash (decent stats) Matthew Adams: 6'0" w/31.25" Arms, 4.63 40-yard dash - pretty much drafted as a Special teamer only Jordan Glasgow: 6'0" w/30.625" Arms, Only drafted for special teams play   The one true outlier (as he said at the 2024 NFL Draft - he shouldn't be standing up there): Zaire Franklin: 6'0" w/31.75" Arms, 4.62 40-yard dash - All heart and soul   The Current crop of Back-up and/or PS linebackers on the roster from 2023: McGrone: 6'1" w/32.125" Arms, Injured so no 40-yard dash time (active roster in 23) Stuard: 6'0" w/30.25 Arms, Injured so no 40-yard dash time (only traded for to play special teams) Ajiake: 6'1" w/31.625 Arms, 4.60 40-yard dash time (PS player in 23) Anderson: 6'3" w/29.25" Arms, 4.53 40-yard dash time (PS player in 23 with 1-2 games as a ST's) Harrison: 6'2" w/33.375" Arms, 4.63 40-yard dash (50/50 player last year as he transitioned to LB on the PS) Olubi: 6'0" w/31.75" Arms, 4.45 40-yard dash (active roster in 23 with a couple starts)   Olubi (good speed) and Harrison (length) are likely keepers which gives Young a clear opportunity to take the 3rd back-up role as a core special teamer and possibly work his way into a 3rd and Passing Distance coverage backer like I envision Carlies being as well. So Speed and Franklin play the running downs and those two come in to play coverage.    Also makes me wonder if MAYBE they give Harrison run at SS/Box Safety and move Blackmon back to FS?    Not forgetting Pennix.........he is a BIG BOY at 6'2" & 234lbs who has lined up at RB, FB, HB, and TE in College and was productive that ran a 4.59 forty - only faster TE we have is Mallory and there is no RB bigger than him, but he is faster than Sermon though and they have eerily similar RAS score measurables except Pennix is WAY bigger, just sayin'. I'm going to say it was his versatility that caused him to go undrafted because he didn't do enough at any one position so evaluators had a hard time determining how he could be used!??! But a creative offensive mind like SS can certainly figure out how to use him all over the offense - short yardage back, fullback, HB/TE leaking out into the zones, in-line blocker as a TE. I am interested in seeing what they do with him in open practices and minicamp. Ultimately, he could take one of the back-up roles behind JT and maybe even make someone like Granson expendable (probably not but stranger things have happened)   ****Disclaimer, yes, I know I only focused on the measurements of the player and not what they have done in practice or pre-season games. Given this teams propensity to like certain measurements for certain positions I don't feel like this is a "bad take".......

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Has anyone who has been paying attention to Latu or to Gus Bradley learned if Latu will play the LEFT defensive end or the LEO, the RIGHT defensive end?      Has that been confirmed by anyone?!?      Asking for a few thousand friends here…..   Thanks in advance….

      Chad Kelly sighting

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      Chad Kelly’s only real impact for the Colts was the pre-season, something Sam has been better at since he’s been here.  Even then we saw how over whelmed Sam looked playing in a real game.  The logically conclusion is Kelly would have too.  Don’t fall for the pre-season trap.  The jump from back up to third string pre-season QB to NFL starter in a regular season game is the size of the Grand Canyon.  Let’s not forget Curtis Painter once looked good enough in the pre-season that some fans actually thought he could be developed into Peyton’s replacement and we all saw how that played out.     Rather anyone likes Kelly or not is irrelevant to the fact he’s had a tone of tape out there for NFL teams to see.  We know NFL teams will give just about anyone they think can be a franchise QB a chance to at least look at him.  The fact no NFL teams have come calling for even a tryout since the Colts released him tells you what teams think of him.     Fans can like him all they want that and $20 will get you a “value meal” at McDonalds.  He’s not some superstar who never got his chance, he’s a pre-season darling who isn’t good enough for regular season football.  Those are a dime a dozen in the NFL.  It’s not that people don’t like or aren’t a fan, in fact I’d argue he’d be a major underdog that most people would cheer for, it’s they have seen this before and recognize it for what it is.

      Yeah, we both have a chance now. I'd love our teams to face in the NBA finals. Would be a lot of fun. Hopefully we keep winning.
