Schein gives props to Colts

For the most part, I think this guy is a clown. But this show of respect to the Colts for their clinching in November hits the nail on the head.

Hey, ND fans! Terrail Lambert signed to Colts practice squad

I would have put this in the Fan Shots section, except I thought this should be seen. Is this a possible move to get a kick return guy? Lambert played his high school ball in my backyard. My son ran track and school boy football against him for years. Lambert, speed wise was a man among boys and was the only guy who could beat my son in the 400 when they were kids. Lambert put up two 4.2x 40 yd. times on his pro day. This kid returned kicks in HS, and I think punts with ND. Pretty good corner too. Whatcha think?

E-Fos gets some love

E-Fos gets some love

I for one would love to see him carry the ball via pass or handoff. That guy always looks like he is enjoying himself out there.

Colts' Big Wins Mask Serious Problems in Run Blocking, Rush Defense

This guy is harshing my gig, but makes some valid points.

I liked in week 4

The tribute to Edge. Freeney turning the doctors to bitches. Keiaho getting a sack and a fumble recovery.......

Mathis causing fumbles twice in one game. Freeney and Mathis making offensive line coaches throw up in their mouths. Manning carving the heart out of defensive schemes with surgical efficiency. Looking forward to a healthy first string defense.

I didn't like: Jennings at all today (hawks a lugie). Our punt / kick return game with one exception. The fact that Edge wasn't playing late enough to have the defense part like the Red Sea for him to score in garbage time. Or Jennings, Jennings and Jennings either.

Good Article on Edge's Return

Insight on a great player, teamate, and family man. Not to mention a huge part of the Colts' winning tradition in Indy.

Kravitz latest

This latest article is full of truths, but I thinks it earns Kravitz a new nickname.........Bob Buzzkill

Idiot style predictions...

OK, it's slow at work, and the glow of the Cardinals game has faded. So I am going to submit my ridiculously stupid predictions for the next game on the schedule. No, I am not clairvoyant. I have no remote veiwing skills.........I am just bored. Be advised before reading, I am a shameless homer and have an active imagination.

VS Seahawks: Manning throws for 3 TD's. Two go to Reggie, and one for Collie. Garcon is pissed, caught 3 passes for 96 yards, but couldn't get in. Clark scores on an end around. Hank Baskett forces a fumble on a Colts kick off that is returned for a TD by Kyle DeVan. On defense, Keiaho has nine tackles and a sack via blitz. Doesn't matter though, Stampede Blue still hates him. The defense holds Seatle to 60 yards on the ground and 180 through the air. Melvin Bullit has two picks and a sack. The defense pitches it's first shutout this year. No field goal attempts for AV, but he hits the left crossbar again and misses one PAT, causing the stands to empty and he is beat to death with empty beer cups. Uh oh, boss is coming downstairs.

Colts win, 35-0.

Garcon!

I might be a little bit too optomistic, but I don't think so. Pierre Garcon is beginning to look like a monster. The way he is carrying himself on the field is just impressing the hell out of me. I think he has an immense upside even after what he has already shown. This second year player out of Div III is taking no crap from anyone. He appears to be playing with somewhat of a chip on his shoulder, which I just freaking love. The guy runs after the catch like a fullback with tailback moves. Has a straight arm like a pile driver, and tries flat back guys he can't get around. I have seen him put three guys in the grass and run through them on his way to clutch gains or TD'S. Our other receivers will take a dive in order to avoid a hit, (which I don't disagree with in most cases), but Garcon will try to plant you. You just gotta love this.

I know it's only preseason but....

There are a few things that are really bothering me. The first being the defensive performance. I realize that we had a few guys dinged, but for crissakes I would think that the guys who started would use this as an opportunity to step up and show coaches and fans their best. I have always felt that Freddy Keiaho got a raw deal by being released. Based on what he showed me today, I now feel the Colts cut the wrong linebacker this past week. Dammit Freddy, you stunk the place up today! Four missed tackles that I saw. Dude, I learned in High School to keep my head up and wrap when making a tackle. It looked today like all the Colts linebackers made a pregame deal that only safeties could make friggin tackles. The tackling by the defense as a whole sucked. Secondly, what happened to the commitment to getting the defense off the field so Peyton could get more opportunities to score? The third down performance was non freaking existant. Thirdly, I hope to gosh somebody, anybody steps up and shows that they can return a punt or kickoff, or field position is going to be a way bigger issue than it should be. I know it's preseason, but jeez, isn't that when you work on the main issues you need to improve on? Right now for the Colts, the focus just needs to be simplified to tackle, block, catch and run. There is no reason that a team with the kind of talent we have, including the backups shouldn't have the pride to put up a decent performance, preseason or not. Okay, I'm done, stick a fork in me. It will hurt less than watching our defense today.
