Hi. I'm BigBlueShoe, and this is your
Friday Night Open Thread!!!
My job this fun-filled Friday is to inject a little humor into the news cycle, especially in light of all the WONDERFUL injury news we've gotten today. In case you've been living under a rock, or are too lazy to scroll down the blog frontpage, here is a quick recap of the wounded:
- Tyjuan Hagler, done for the year; biceps
- Marlin Jackson, done for the year; knee
- Bob Sanders,
likelydone for the year; biceps - Anthony Gonzalez, out until December; knee
- Kelvin Hayden, out until December; knee
All these injuries were reported to us in less than 24 hours. As a result, Peyton Manning, Dwight Freeney, and Jim Caldwell have declared that it is OK to quit on the season. All players, fans, and bandwagoners can officially stop thinking about football and focus on Thanksgiving travel plans, Christmas shopping, and whether or not an animated Jim Carrey "playing" Ebenezer Scrooge on the big screen is worth a $10 investment.
Season over. Quit now. We'll see you next year for our pre-draft coverage. Pack it up. Bye-bye season. Bye-bye happiness. Hello off-season loneliness. I think the 2009 season's gonna die.
Or...............................
We can look at the team depth chart, take a breath, and look at this logically and intellectually.
- Bob Sanders and Marlin Jackson barely played a lick this season, and the Colts still had the #1 scoring defense without them.
- Anthony Gonzalez's injury is not season-ending, and like Brandon Stokley in 2004, Gonzo could come back and make a big late-season difference. His injury also hastened the development of Pierre Garçon and Austin Collie, which was a big positive.
- Tyjuan Hagler was playing well, but the Colts have Philip Wheeler waiting in the wings. If Wheeler isn't ready, then that's on him and the Colts will simply plug into another backer.
- Kelvin Hayden is expected back.
So, before you slice a razor blade across the throat of the Colts 2009 NFL season, know that the Colts have sustained injuries that are on par with injuries other teams have had to deal with.
The Bears lost Brian Urlacher in Week One. Half of the Packers offensive line is gone. Injuries to the Vikings secondary have made their defense swiss cheese. The Texans lost Owen Daniels. The Giants lost their safety as well. The Chargers lost Jamal Williams, the best player on their defense. The Steelers lost Aaron Smith.
Welcome to the NFL, fellow football fans! Injuries are as much a part of the game as the pigskin ball, the field goal bars, and stupid pontificating from idiot TV announcers. Before you give up, take a look around the NFL and look at the injury reports for other teams. Shockingly, I bet you'll see their situations are the same as ours.
Go Colts!
Click after the jump to see the text from Bullard47's open thread, which I have combined with this thread to make your disco-tastic Friday night as injury-free as possible.
From Bullard47's thread, which was combined with this one:
For a week leading up to a game against a common opponent that nearly everyone expects us to beat, this one has been just about as stressful as you can ask for. Let's recap the stupidity first:
- Tyjuan Hagler somehow ruptures his bicep(again), out for the season
- Marlin Jackson hurts his other kneee, out for the season
- Bob Sanders hurts his elbow, out for the season
- Anthony Gonzalez goes under the knife, out for at least 3 more weeks
- Hayden aggravates a previous injury, out for about a month
- Jackson's injury happens in a practice that according to the Colts, he didn't participate in
So, with that out of the way, there was some good news. Let's take a second to recap that:
- Donald Brown practiced, looks healthy
- We have great cornerback and safety depth
- Hank Baskett has yet to get acclimated to the offense, and could shine as the year moves on
- Kyle DeVan is more than likely going to get more playing time
- The Star wrote a really great story on the awesomeness of our O-Line
- The media thinks we are done for
With all of that said, I think that should be a lot to talk about. This might even be a majority-on-topic open thread, but the usual open thread shenanigans are welcome. I will be running a few errands for a bit, but should be full on into the conversation later tonight.
WAAAHHHH!!!
I can hardly concentrate at work today – not good. But ultimately, we’ve really only lost 1 player who had been contributing, and 2 who hadn’t made it back to contribute significantly (yes, I know, what about Bob’s INT? that was a tipped ball that he happened to catch).
Just hoping that Gonzo and Hayden can complete the journey back and that the only reason their return is meaningless is because we’ve already got the #1 seed locked up.
NEXT MAN UP!
How can you not love a team that does this?

Thanks
I updated it.
Though I know I come off a bit cynical sometimes when I write, my personal feeling is that staying positive and offering some levity is good for the fan’s soul. I also don’t think these injuries will “kill” this team. I still think this group is special.

Im with you 100%
but I am also a HUGE Sanders supporter. And I believe that he will be back for OTA’s next year and will once again be a huge factor for our defense. I’m sure they will have some kind of contract restructuring to do, but I’m sure bob will cut his losses and play football for us again. I know, I’m optimistic, but I just dont see how this team can let a huge playmaker walk because of something he has no control over. If this was his knee again then I might have a different opinion, but its something totally unrelated and it’s just a bad misfortune. Here’s to Bob getting 100% healty!

Perspective
Love it BBS. That’s exactly the approach we need. Good point on the other injured teams. I think that gets lost a lot in all the fretting over the numerous IR’d players in a short amount of time. People forget the fact that the Patriots and Steelers have lost a ton of players at various times and yet people still think of them as legit Super Bowl contenders. As long as we don’t sustain too many more significant injuries in the next month or so and start getting players back healthy, then I don’t see why we shouldn’t be in good shape for January.
The only question now is making sure we’re fielding the best team we can right now to continue winning and pushing for Home Field Advantage in the playoffs.

Sanders is done. Heard the IR report on FootballOutsiders, and BSPN says that Tamme(or Santi, one of those two) is replacing him.

Many true observations.
There still isn’t another team in the league that I would trade for. And we’re still 10x better than last season.
And BBS, thanks for not taking shots at Sanders in this post. The guy has sacrificed his body for this team and given us a Superbowl.
Moreover he gave this team something maybe as important, which is attitude. We were always known as a soft team. Sanders gave us attitude and the image of a hardhitting, superfast defense that strikes fear into the hearts of our opponents. That will remain.

I personally LOVE Bob. 90% of my feelings towards him are positive. He is a super guy and, when healthy, he is an amazing player. The problem is health is as important in this league as talent.

Makes me wonder about the overall strength
of Bob’s ligaments, tendons, muscle tissue, etc. That was kind of a joke……but, thought provoking somewhat. He’s suspiciously injured quite a bit more than other players it seems. Does he just hit that much harder than everyone else? Perhaps.
by Ayrshire on Nov 6, 2009 5:02 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Have you seen him hit?
Lol the guy hits like a monster. I think his size is what hurts him. He’s not really a big guy, but he hits like one. And thats why he gets hurt. I thought since the D improved this year he wouldnt have to take as man huge shots, but I guess I was wrong

You're not seeing the big picture.
There’s no need to wait for technology to clone a “non-brittle” Sanders. Vegas will give you even money on whether or not that can happen before the sun implodes.
Instead, let’s draw inspiration from the computing world: Parallel cloning. If we can clone him once, we can clone him SIXTEEN TIMES. Think about it! A new Bob Sanders starting factory fresh every game of the season. Oh, and whip up a few more for the playoffs.
Distributed Sanders. Cloud Bob.
I am so god damned smart.
Never approach a vast undertaking with a half-vast plan.

can we clone him but with fresh knee ligaments?
and while we’re at it, some new biceps?

blue shoe i agree
i couldn’t agree more, our defense will be fine. the only matchup problem i see occurring will be w/ new england, who will no doubt expose our inexperienced corners. everyone needs to realize that often times on defense, the backups are as good or better than the starters….these are not true “skilled” positions we are talking about, they are corner/safety’s/linebackers.

The arguments go both ways
More secrecy improves game-planning / surprises. Less secrecy improves the transparency to the fans (and the gamblers).
I’d actually take more secrecy, except that this way I get my heart attacks out of the way before the game starts and can appropriately manage my own expectations (I know – spoken like a true consultant).

is that he isn’t getting the reps once he does i think he will start contributing more. i see him doing better this weekend i think he has been getting more reps this last week and with some game day reps we will start to see what he can actually do may have trouble the first couple throws but if he is running his routes good (hopefully he has those down) i think he will be fine
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!

With Brown practicing some he could still play and if not Addai will probably get the load again this week

if Brown can’t play. I want to see a bigger sample size than his 2 carries last season.

If all these teams lost key individuals, my only question is...
Where the hell are they? Come on, some of these dudes weigh more than a sleeper-sofa—how the hell can a responsible organization LOSE them?!!? Don’t they have families? I think we have another action item for Goodell—call it the human lost and found. Hire a few retired cops with bloodhounds and get on it, Roger, instead of cracking the whip across Jacob Lacey’s turf-burned rump.
Maybe the next CBA requires guys to wear those little electronic transponders my kids got me so I won’t lose my keys. Brand ’em, make ’em part of the uniform, and then sell knock-offs via NFL.com. Millon dollar idea right there, Rog, your to keep, so maybe you can quit hassling Jacob Slide King Lacey, okay?
And in the meantime, let’s find us some NFL players! Everyobdoy out there, yeah I’m talking to you! Take it as a weekend homework assignment. Find one of these poor lost souls and return him to his employer. There might even be a reward (like a free transponder kock-off). SWEET, eh?

I admire your bullet points, but you were right at the first. I just saw SportsCenter and they said the Colts are done, so that has to be true…. :( :( :( :( :(
Extremely hard to pick up on sarcasm aside, I’m not too worried. I mean, if no one can even bother to mention the kind of contribution Melvin Bullitt has had for this defense, then clearly you aren’t worth listening to.
Gonna start to get ready for the Pacers and hope there aren’t anymore season ending injuries between now and kickoff on Sunday.

From Depth to No Depth
I post to agree with BBS and Bullard47, which isn’t much of a contribution, but bear with me. Bullard47 says in part that we have great secondary depth, in the present tense. After today, use the past tense: we had great depth. The inevitable injuries—please God, don’t let it be Bullitt or Bethea—that are just a part of football will make the Colts paper-thin until Hayden gets back. What was once depth is now all there is.
How bad was the initial shock? Well, trying to rationalize, I uttered a combination of words I never thought I’d link together: Thank God we’ve still got Tim Jennings!
I’ve wished various forms of violent death on the Human 10 yard cushion so far this year, but to feel comforted that he’ll be on the field Sunday, well, let’s just say I felt a mite hypocritical.
Without Hayden most of the year, starting two rookies and with Bullitt playing extremely good football, the Colts’ pass D has been quite good. All of those variables will be there on Sunday against Houston. So—barring more injuries—I’m still optimistic that this is THE YEAR.
But if we have more injuries, TJ is the next man up, and he makes Jennings look like Champ Bailey crossed with Lester Hayes. Yikes!
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
