The years we lost in the playoffs was because teams could run on us and control TOP.

 

Everyone ran on us in 2006 until the playoffs. The 2005 defense was truly elite with Corey Simon

Rob Morris played a big role in the playoffs that year.

Yeah when I look at Indianapolis players since 1984 to me Freeney is top 4. I would only have ahead of him:

1. Manning

2. Marvin

3. Reggie

4. I would put Freeney here

That’s fair. I’d reckon Vinny could be considered in the top 4 as well.

Freeney & Mathis, IMO, Best pair of pass rushers ever!

That's why I would like to see them go into ROH together as a "TEAM".

Oh well!

15.5 more

 

Freeney had 107.5 as a Colt.

Of course! Thanks...

Yeah for some reason I thought Mathis only had like 2 more sacks as a Colt. I got it backwards lol. It was Freeney who had 2.5 more sacks overall but his last 18 were with different teams.

Mine isn't either  . I would love to see Bob Sanders get in. He will never make the HOFame because he didn't play long enough and was injury prone, but he belongs in the Colts Ring of Honor. Without him we don't win the SB in 2006 and he won DPOY in 2007 something Freeney or Mathis never did.

Agreed!

Next?

Of course you can't put everyone in the Ring of Honor but my list would be regarding Indianapolis players:

Peyton

Marvin

Reggie

Freeney

Dickerson

Edge

Faulk

Mathis - will be in now

Saturday

Hinton

Harbaugh

and Bob

If I am not mistaken all those guys are in except Bob.

I would agree with that list, would be a shame if Bob didn't make it just because of an injury shortened career, he was a game changer!

I would say eventually Andrew Luck belongs too but it is too early for that. He was great at times here and overall a very good QB. He got us 4 playoff wins and 4 seasons of 10+wins. Vinny will get in as well - that is a no brainer, outside of that I don't think I have left anyone out?

Sorry, I'm not ready to go there yet.

Still POed about how he exited.

Maybe after some more time...

I still get sick to my stomach when I come across highlights and interviews, someday I'll get over it...

maybe.

Back on topic:

 

#98 one of my all time favorite players!

Understandable. I am not happy either about how he left us.

Me too. I loved Mathis, he defined what a true Colt is.

Dallas Clark? Probably didn't do enough, but he was a smashing player....

Congratulations Robert Mathis on a well-earned honor! He's definitely one of my favorite players.

True, but Mathis should've won it in 2013 over Luke Kuechly!
