He and Unitas redefined their positions.

Lenny Moore as well- yet Indy Fans don’t even put him on the list of Best Colts Running Backs. Some of his NFL TD Records were just broken in the past few years, after standing since the 1960s.

I had Latu figured for 97, since it’s the only ninety number left.  However, I just watched the Behind the Colts episode, and Thornton was showing him the locker room and said something like, “We’re still getting the # firmed up, but you should be right about here.”  They were at a locker with either 91 (Leo) or 92 (Avery) on it.

Re: Adonai Mitchell vs Josh Downs and the #1 jersey

 

If I were sitting down with the both of them, I would offer this piece of advice to each:

 

For Downs -- Do not change your number.  It's bad luck.  Doesn't matter how much anybody offers you in order to take your number.  Just. Don't. Do. It.

 

For Mitchell -- They say that the definition of Greatness is someone who doesn't remind us of anyone else.  They say, "he reminds me of Jerry Rice" or "he reminds me of Reggie Wayne".  Don't be the guy who is compared to someone else.  Be the guy who defines the standard by which others are compared to you.  The first step -- take a jersey number that nobody else uses.  Make it your own.  Write your own legacy.  (Take jersey #0)

You know that saying... The player makes the number, the number doesn't make the player. :thmup:

. I have a blank jersey with 17 on it. I would love to put Mitchell on the back of it.

Why not put indyagent on the back of it?

A proper pass rusher number.

 

Seems like they have given them the numbers but have not announced them. No idea why that is... 

 

Laulu gets 57...

I don't know why someone edited it, but his actual IG post shows 97.

The Ryan Diem jersey number, always liked it. Solid pro for a long time, if that is what Matt Goncalves becomes, I will take it. :)

Personally dont like 10 on Mitchell. I think it's boring, but whatever 

Maybe it's to remind himself of the 10 WRs who went before him.  I have no real idea, obviously, but would track with his whole "chip on his shoulder" thing he's got going on.

I just wanted someone to finally get 88. It's an iconic number in both Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts history

Shouldn't they retire jersey 88 for Marvin Harrison Sr.? I would prefer they do that.

You'd think so, but Marv hasn't played since 2008.

I love Mitchell has that big of a chip on his shoulder to pick that number 

 

 

 

I have my doubts about him but that is awesome

Latu wants #15, I would bet Flacco gives it up. Mitchell though will be a tough one, I would have bet 15 for him since 5 is taken but maybe he takes 10?

Ayyyyyyy I got that one lol

I have a jersey signed by Lenny Moore.

But no one has worn his number since then, and I don't think they intend to let anyone wear it.

 

I like #10 for WRs, and it makes sense for AD. I'm not super big into jersey numbers, but that one seems perfect to me.

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
