Hello All

Longtime Colts fan here (1977ish) usually just a lurker but wanted to post this. Perhaps it is a little premature but is it not time to start thinking about a nickname for our o-line. We do have a young nucleus who potentially with us for while and its time to make it fan personal. I was thinking along the lines of identifying them with some sort of work horse breed (i know not rocket science). Perhaps Frank's Friesians or the Suffolk Punch something like that.. Im in Rhode Island, not exactly horse country and perhaps you folks would have a better knowledge of work, draft horses, possibly a breed more prevalent to the area. Ill leave the discussion up to you (or not).

And truth be told I am excited for this team, we have something being set up here that will be very special, something even I have not yet seen. Even the Manning years always seemed to have something missing, this team is setting up to be the real deal i think.

Enjoy it.

Go Colts!!!!

    • 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.
