"Le Blog de Sam Giguere"

I found a blog were it seems they get quotes from Sam Giguere from time to time. I went ahead and applied a Babelfish French to English translation for everyone.

On the most recent entry it looks like Polian has promised to try and activate him before the end of the regular season. He also says in another entry that Special Teams coach Ray Rychleski really likes him. I don't know if that means for returns or just on coverage teams.

I remember him having 1 return during the preseason, but it was awful! Yet, there could be some ability there, as it appears he's just now feeling healthy from the leg injury during the offseason.

Larry Coyer Article from Denver Post

Basically states that Shanahan made a huge mistake letting him go. Good read.

Clink on the FanShot link and it's the first article on the right hand column. Linking to the article directly doesn't work.

No One Films The Belichick In Failure

by GoHorse88 on Nov 16, 2009 8:13 AM EST Comment 4 comments

Check it out. Classy move by the Patriots head coach here, as always **eye roll**. As he runs away from media, coaches, and players alike, he totally snubs Matt Stover, the 19-year vet, who just wanted to shake his ex-Head Coach's hand - Stover was Belichick's kicker from 1991-1995 in Cleveland. Ouch!

I understand the disappointment in defeat in a game like that, and this isn't the first time it's happened, nor will it be the last. But this is just another opportunity for Indianapolis Colts fans to be thankful for the integrity that our organization exhibits. Win or Lose, we're gracious and treat the other team with respect, credit where credit is due.

Belichick might be one of the coolest dudes ever during the offseason - but he makes no attempt on an NFL field as far as I can tell.

Great win last night - let's keep 'em coming! GO HORSE!

Colts working out DE/OLB Bruce Davis

by GoHorse88 on Sep 11, 2009 8:35 AM EDT Comment 28 comments

According to indyfootballreport.com the Colts are bringing in former 2008 Steelers 3rd-round pick, Bruce Davis for a work out. He played DE at UCLA but the Steelers tried to switch him to OLB and it didn't work out. Decent size (in comparrison to Marcus Howard at least) to match the Colts new philosophy on the Dline. 6'3", 250 lbs.

8-man Practice Squad set... we added a TE?

by GoHorse88 on Sep 8, 2009 9:30 AM EDT Comment 3 comments

According to the IndyStar's website, Jason Pociask, a 3rd-year TE, was added to the Colts Practice Squad. He played in college at Wisconsin (Polian loves him some Big 10) and went to high school locally in Plainfield, IN.

I know Santi's injured, but wow... Colin Cloherty is already on there, and there are 3 WRs. That's a total of 5 receivers of the 8-man squad. Looks like their still searching for something else out of that position. Still unknown when and if Terrance Taylor will land on any team's Practice Squad.

With Pociask added that make the Practice Squad Shape up like this:

Colin Cloherty - TE

John Gill - DL

Sam Giguere - WR

Mike Hart - RB

John Mattews - WR

Jason Pociask - TE

Taj Smith - WR

Jaimie Thomas - OL

Hagler back to Starting SAM? Wheeler to back-up.

With all of the roster shuffling today, I've been checking out the roster and depth charts on Colts.com and saw something interesting on the depth chart. (here).

It looks to me like Wheeler is out as the starting strong side linebacker.

Surprise Early Cut - Adrian Grady

Hope he's a guy they'd like to keep on the P.S. to develop. Good motor and was constantly in on the action. Please don't make a claim on him Tennessee!
