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

A proper pass rusher number.

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:

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.

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.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      I appreciate your frustration…. But you and I have had this exact same conversation before.      What can I tell you?   The world changed.  Information used to come in your morning newspaper or the 10 or 11p news.  Info moved slowly.      Now information moves at the speed of a tweet.  The pressure to keep up has exploded.   Most people don’t get their news from the paper,  they get it from their phone.   Everyone is doing the best they can under extremely different circumstances.  Well…. Most everyone.    And what may be crap to some is fine for others.   In this thread here, @Superman noted that for some people the news is good or bad simply if they agree with it or not.  We, all of us,  are far, far more tribal than we ever used to be when we were younger.      The world has changed for better and worse.   Who was the former Indy Star writer who left to join The Athletic? He wrote about now, for the first time in his life, having to worry about selling subscriptions.  And if he didn’t hit quotas he was going to get fired.  I was horrified for him.  My heart broke for him.  Why The Athletic thinks that’s a good business model is beyond me, but they do.   That kind of excruciating pressure will inevitably lead to bad editorial decisions.  A real shame.      I don’t know what kind of response you were expecting from me….  But these are my thoughts.   Hope it clarified.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      It's a valid concern. We had a powerhouse post on this from one of our members after the Colts made the pick. You should check it out.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By teganslaw · Posted

      Laiatu Latu is one of the best pass rushers in the draft, but I am a bit concerned about his past neck injury. He had to go several doctors before finding one who allowed him to play. I'm sure the Colts vetted him before drafting (as did other teams who wanted him), so they must feel he's safe enough.    However, this injury could re occur sometime, and cause later problems. Consider the Cowboys Leighton Vander Esh who was a very good player but finally had to retire due to a nagging neck injury.    Is anyone else concerned about this? Or am I jumping to conclusions?

      I agree.   Not only is it important to be first but those stories that generate the most clicks make the most money.   In this day and age you have to be very sensationalist, be first and generate the most clicks.   Truth be damned
