If Gay isn’t able to go, I feel pretty good about Shrader.

Didn't you just post that Parris Campbell was out 4 weeks with a similar injury?    I obviously don't know anything, but since when can a player come back from hernia surgery in less than a

Okay… which one of you here on the forum injured Gay so we can use Shrader? :nono:

That would be me. I was complaining about Schrader not being kept over Gay. Ballard kept Gay as the active kicker and put Schrader on the PS, so I saw my opportunity and went all Tonja Harding on him lol.

Well I’m gonna guess since last season… telling ya all, he’s done. 


It’s not a hard theory to sell. There was definitely some hard to explain falloff late last season with him, and it hasn’t stopped yet.

You think we might see the Colts go for it more than usual this Sunday? 

If the first  couple of attempt fail it may force their hand, yeah.  I just hope AR doesn't go hero mode like Luck used to.  It could end up badly.  But, honestly, I think we have a couple of bad kicking games before that could become an issue.

We have not been right at kicker since Adam last year when he went down hill

Yep and it was the same with AV and even Vanderjadgt before him. It’s over

Well... I got my way with Schrader being the K. Didn't want Gay to get a hernia lol, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

 

Let's hope Schrader dominates and doesn't look back.

You must not have watched Notre Dame last year.   Schrader has a big leg,  but is inconsistent.

I think he had a 68% FG percentage or something. We'll see what happens. I'd rather have a K that can hit the long FGs. If Ballard put him on the practice squad, then he must have figured he was worth keeping in some capacity. I just don't trust Gay at this point.

If you Google the recovery time for this kind of surgery for an athlete, it’s a 6-12 week recovery period though retearing it is a legit possibility if returning too early. Sounds like Gay could be out for at least half the season… possibly longer.

So Matt Gay admits he had surgery but Steichen is too scared to tell us. I will remember to fear the worst everytime Steichen doesn't comment on an injury from now on.

I think he was respecting the player and letting the player say it. Nothing wrong with it/

Has anyone clarified when he had surgery?

After the bengals game.

I remember when Parris Campbell had this happen. He missed 3 or 4 weeks. Steichen said it’s nothing long term.

      How to fix the colts

      By DougDew · Posted

      No, and this is not news.  For a while, folks have been leaning on the Buckner trade as being a great (use of) pick.  But Buck was known as a very good NFL player already, which is not the same thing as using picks on college players you think should be good.  The college evaluation/valuation process has not been good.  That's pretty evident, IMO.

      How to fix the colts

      By Zoltan · Posted

      Easiest way to fix the Colts defense is to fire Gus Bradley. First it was Michael Lombardi (who I generally don't agree with) who said that Gus defense is simple and now even JJ Watt has said that he runs a defense that doesn't make adjustments for the opponent and defensives that that don't do that generally fail in the NFL. It's interesting to see two weeks in and more and more people are coming out and saying that " Bradley's system is ineffective."   It won't help us much this year but I do believe that Bradley's system is holding back the talent on the defense and him having favorites puts blinders on improving positions (Facyson).

      When  it is his draft year, he will most likely be the number 1 pick if he continues to excel. There is not doubt in my mind that if the team that is picking is a complete dumpster fire. The Mannings will pull another Eli. They will have a lot of control and the team that is drafting him will have to give into the Manning's recommendations. Thats the way it should be. I always said Bryce Young would be a bust due to his body makeup. That being said, he is getting no help in Carolina and it basically looks like his career is over after only 2 years. This will not happen to Manning. I bet if  Manning's draft year next  was in 2025 and Carolina had the pick.  The Mannings would probably have a list of demands before even entertaining the thought of Manning going there and that is the way it should be.

      Bears Colts predictions

      By Bearzzz · Posted

      Hey all, been a while. Not sure what to expect on Sunday, Bears offensive line has been horrible. I don't see them being in sync anytime soon. I think it'll be a close game with Colts winning at home.

      Denver is a huge market actually.  It covers the entire country west of KC, HOU, and DAL except the coast and provides many more opportunities for exposure than Indy.  I don't think Irsay cutting Peyton would have anything to do it.  I think Peyton teases that stuff sometimes just for a little attention.
