Which player are you looking at closely this preseason?

[coltfaninnewyork]

I am hoping that Jerry Huges makes a big leap from last year's disaster.I have heard he has looked better but let's see him in some game action.

[BlueCrew]

Hughes, the FAs, Delone Carter, the new OL-men rooks, but most of all Drake Nevis.

i hope he has a big year but how do they use him unless one of our starting des get hurt, could they ever use 3 des in a passing situation

[Phil J]

either Chick plays out of his mind good, or he comes back home. I would personally like to see him stay in Indy, and not back with a terrible 2011 Riders team.

Freeney and Mathis obviously don't play every down.

[OLD FAN MAN]

i hope nevis can get pressure on the qb and i hope carter and get a first down in short yardage

[21isSuperman]

I'm looking at many players closely, all of the rookies and linemen. Saturday will be fine, same for Freeney and Mathis. How about Hughes, Chick, Anderson, Nevis, Moala, Castonzo, Ijalana, etc. how have they progressed?

[Colts.sb41]

SUPRISE!! I will be watching Manning. If he plays of course I would like to see how bad the surgery actually was and how much it will affect him.

[Smonroe]

The O-Line as a unit. Ugoh started as a rookie and did fairly well, Castonzo should do better. Who will play guard(s).

I've said it before, but I hope the line is determined and practicing long before Peyton takes a snap while not wearing a red shirt.

[Guest BlueShoe]

All of the draft picks, UDFA's, Harris and Simms.

[camcolts2621]

Rookies: Castanzo (Everyone is watching him), Carter, and Nevis mostly

2nd Year Players: Cornelious Brown & Kevin Thomas

UNDFA: Joe Lefeged

FA: Simms, Harris, and Anderson

[maynard327]

I'm gonna be watching Lacey. I'm looking for him to have a breakout season and prove that he is very worthy of a starting CB position. I'm looking to see him jump a good number of routes, get a lot of passes defended, and lead our team in INTs. And I'm thinking 2 or more pick-6s. I'll be watching him closely.

[indy_nick]

Carter and Nevis without questions. The other things I will look for is how the rookies are progressing on their blocking assignments, and how our CB crew pans. out.

[a06cc]

I'm watching everyone! Footwork, routes, techniques... I'm excited about Donald Brown and Jerry Hughes. Not worried about the veterans on the team, but those two I'm going to watch carefully.

[Colts20593]

1. DT Play

2. Corner Play

3. O line play

[Thewholefnshow28]

I think there are only four main guys for me. We need all four to produce now especially Castonzo and Nevis.

1. Castonzo

2. Ijalana

3. Nevis

4. Hughes

[Moncrief]

Nevis, Castonzo and Lacey. Something keeps telling me that Lacey will have 5 to 6 interceptions this year.

[MTC]

I will be watching Delone Carter, Drake Nevis, Joe Lefeged, Ben Ijalana, and of course Curtis Painter.

[shakedownstreet]

if tommie harris & drake nevis can combine for five or six sacks, we'll have a championship caliber defense

those are the guys i'm watching

[Dtman513]

Hughes, Carter, Gonzalez, our rookie O-Line draft picks, and Manning

[ReMeDy]

In the preseason? Who do you think?...

It's hard NOT to notice all the interceptions he will throw!

[Andy]

Jerry Hughes, Anthony Gonzalez, Anthony Castonzo, Tommie Harris, Ernie Sims, Jacob Lacey, Justin Tryon, and Pat Angerer. Couldn't narrow it down to one.

[soldierboy]

I like to see these players do well!!!!

1. Castonzo

2. Ijalana

3. Nevis

4. Hughes

5. Spann - make the team and get carries

6. Gonzo and collie - stay healthy

7. Project SIMMS makes the ProBowl.

8. Painter - LET HIM GO

[shakedownstreet]

8. Painter - LET HIM GO

actually we need him now more than ever

[Rich Cannon]

I'll be looking at Costanzo, Carter, Nevis, and back up cornerback play very carefully

[ruksak]

More than anything, the secondary. This includes you Mr Bullit!

[John Waylon]

either Chick plays out of his mind good, or he comes back home. I would personally like to see him stay in Indy, and not back with a terrible 2011 Riders team.

Chick is prolly gonna go home. Our D line sounds deeper than it's ever been, and he's one of the players in that group there has been literally no mention of coming out of camp. He could go to the practice squad, but even that's unlikely, IMO.

I'm most interested to see if Nevis is really the monster he's been hyped up to be, and if Harris is going to be the monster I want him to be.

I'm also looking forward to see what we've got in our LB corps.

[OJl]

I am hoping that Jerry Huges makes a big leap from last year's disaster.I have heard he has looked better but let's see him in some game action.

Delone Carter - If he (or just any RB for that matter) pans out, it gives the Colts a legit shot at the Super Bowl for the rest of Peyton's career.

Anthony Costanzo - If he pans out, Peyton's play will not drop off for the remainder of his career.

Drake Nevis - If he pans out, the Colts defense will finally elevate its play and give Freeney and Mathis some legitimate help with inside pressure.

[everybodysgotone]

If limited to one name....Drake Nevis.

[NYColt]

Gijon Robinson ..I want to know WHAT it is these coaches keep thinking they're seeing in him that he continues to hold a roster spot.

I mean if he doesn't even practice good then it can only mean he has naughty pictures of someone

[Smitto]

Hughes, the FAs, Delone Carter, the new OL-men rooks, but most of all Drake Nevis.

+1 on that one, Looking forward to seeing Joe Lefedge

[Coffeedrinker]

I will be watching McClendon mainly along the line, see if he shows that he is the future at guard for the Colts, AC of course. Nevis, I thought this guy was a great draft pick by the Colts, so now I'm waiting to see if he proves that thought correct or incorrect.

I will be watching Bullitt. His shoulder injury was very serious, so I will be watching to see if that affects his tackling at all... to see if he's a bit more hesitant to wrap up or lower his shoulder to make a hit, especially when supporting the run.

I will also be watching Conner and Angerer. Conner to see if his pass coverage is better and Angerer because he showed all the tools last year to be a probowl level LB, his biggest issue was just taking that fraction of a second to recognize the play, so I will be watching to see if that is gone in the preseason.

Other things I will be watching is the oline. How well they work together how are they passing people off, do they keep their heads up while engaged, if they play on their feet or on their toes. For tackles how their kick slide is and how they maintain position.

One thing I definitely won't be looking at is the stat sheet because the stats don't matter.

[Flaming Spaz]

Hughes, Carter, Gonzalez, our rookie O-Line draft picks, and Manning

[buccolts]

Gijon Robinson ..I want to know WHAT it is these coaches keep thinking they're seeing in him that he continues to hold a roster spot.

I mean if he doesn't even practice good then it can only mean he has naughty pictures of someone

Is Gijon really still with us?

I thought we let him go.

[Coffeedrinker]

Gijon Robinson ..I want to know WHAT it is these coaches keep thinking they're seeing in him that he continues to hold a roster spot.

G. is not with the team anymore. But I never did see what the Colts saw in him.

[BlueRedZone]

I wonder if Jeffery Gorman is doing the games this year?

Any ways.....

I'll watch the Line play on both sides. Also would like to see people get off the I hate Curtis Painter bus. He is the backup quarterback that never gets to play. So I hope to see progression there.

I'll be watching Donald Brown, I'd really like him to develop into a big time player with us. Get him some proper blocking and I think he can do great

[rockywoj]

Has anybody heard or seen how Chip Vaughn is doing at safety? I kind of was hoping he'd surprise and prove to be a FA steal.

[Douzer]

All of the above and I'll add UDFA WR Joe Horn. I've got a feeling he and Lefeged are finds!

[HGRekks]

I'm a fan of Darren Evans and I hope he can make the roster or at least the PS. I'll be watching for him.

[nicky6times]

costanzo, carter, lacey, harris

and of course my main man CP7!!
