HOF + 52 Stiffs

Manning , Gonzalez, Wayne, Freeney & Mathis were outstanding but where was everybody else.  After watching the game it is really disappointing.  The rest of the team is just mediocre overall.  Without Manning the team would be lucky to win more than 3 games.  Wayne and a few others can dominate from time to time but where is Harrison, Rhodes, Adddai etc?  The difference between the Colts, and Steelers, Titans, Ravens etc is that we lack toughness on defense and special teams.  Hunter Smith should  buy everyone in Indy a drink along with the rest of the special teams.  Whoever coaches those units should just pack their shit and change professions because all special teams units they are absolutely terrible.

The db's and d--line played great but where are the LB'ers?...  I have never before seen a punter win a game but that guy was unbelievable and won the game by himself.  The o-line is absolutely abyssmal and the TE's were almost invisible.  As good of a motivator & player's coach that Dungy is he is just as bad of an X & o's guy and bad as well on challenges...Is it him or the spotter's that are in a different world Can we all say that the Colts have the worst medical staff in the league or how does a fully healthy team have two scrtaches at the last minute.  I am an OSU fan and along with the Buckeyes the Colts must run the most predictable offense in the league.. I woulld have a heartattack if th Colts would ever run any of the following plays.  

Flea Flicker

Double Reverse

Student Body Left

Wildcat

Fake Punt

Fake Field Goal

 

In fact the counter play at the end zone and the tight end sweep

totally fooled S.D. Because after watchibg tape thy were caught completely off-guard.

How about this deal...

J.O. Neal & 11th pick/Shawne Williams

Mike Conley/$9 Million Cap Room/Brian Cardinal/Jason Collins

Gives the Pacers cap room this year and next...

Gives the Grizzlies some low post players and a pick..

Gives the Pacers a legitimate Point Guard better than what they would get at 11..

Pick Westbrook or Alexander

After doing a little research it's seems like Augustin is one of the shortest point guards coming into the draft in the last several years. D.J. Augustin (5-10 ½ without shoes) is short  Augustin is about to become the 3rd shortest player in our measurements database to be drafted, behind Nate Robinson and Brevin Knight. We don’t have every NBA player there, but we have a lot. Will he be able to see the floor and defend his position well enough? His standing reach (comparable to Luke Ridnour, Jameer Nelson, Mike Conley Jr) slightly compensates for that, but that might just be enough to scare away the LA Clippers at #7. Whether that’s smart or not, we will see in time. There is absolutely no question that Augustin can play.  Russell Westbrook is a much better pick at 11#. He's got much more size, better defender etc. Or how about a frak of nature..Joe Alexander (38 ½ inch max-vertical, 24 reps, 2.99 ¾ Court Sprint) is a freak  We had that confirmed to us two weeks ago already when we went to watch him workout on Las Vegas, but it’s good to see that in print. His measurements (6-7 ¼ without shoes, 6-11 ½ wingspan, 220 pounds) are ideal for an NBA small forward. We know his work ethic is top notch, so it’s not hard to envision him improving on his below-average skill-level substantially as well over the next few years. If he has good workouts, it wouldn’t be hard to see him surpassing Danilo Gallinari as the top small forward in this draft.

An even better bet would be to swing a deal with my hometown Grizzlies ... They have three point guards. The the Pacers could move O'Neil in that kind of deal and draft a "big" at eleven. Just my thoughts they would have to make it a larger deal to make the salaries match. Pick up Cardinal etc to make the numbers for both te
