PrintHello Colts Fans
The Colts travel to Jacksonville Thursday in what should be another fun game between division rivals. Any questions you have can be addressed here. I'll just post some "ahem" canned FAQ responses if you don't mind
1. Tim Tebow
2. The LA/London Jags?
We aren't going to California, sorry. We did sell out this Thursday's game and season ticket sales for 2010 are back on the upswing.As for London, I fully expect the Jags to be the home team for next year's London game, see why here.

How is this Jags team different from
the one that we saw in Week 1? Approach the answer any way you wish.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Finals suck.
A lot has changed
The pass rush got plenty worse after losing our best DE in that first game. Just recently our top picks last year(DE’s: Harvey & Groves) got around to pass rushing.
The offensive tackles have improved greatly since week one.
On the other hand, the interior of the OL is now starting to get old and wearing out.
The LB’s are playing better in coverage. I doubt stretch plays will get much anymore since the tackling in general has improved greatly since our second game against the Titans.
Garrard has been up and down and hard to pinpoint, but he’s played better on the whole since week one. Partially because Mathis and Freeney weren’t trying to kill him on every play.
Our receiving position has greatly improved, but has suffered a few setbacks due to injury.
MJD is not playing as well as of late, partially because the interior of the OL is taking a step back and maybe also because of injury.
Special teams has gotten better even with your old coach Russ Purnell, but we just cut our best return man in Brian Witherspoon(Due to injuries to other players that need replacing). The drop off there is relatively low though.
Greg Jones our starting FB will be out for this game and will be sorely sorely missed. Our power running game will really suffer without him.
All of our TE’s have improved and have become match nightmares for opposing defenses. I expect them to be a crucial part of the offensive game plan.
The secondary is playing well, but if Mathis is out or limited our defense suffers against the deepish passing game.
Does Rashean Mathis have incriminating photos of an official?
Does he sleep with Mike Periera?
Will he be allowed to have sex with our receivers while they are saying ‘no thanks, im straight’?
Thanks for your time.
Never doubt Peyton Manning, he’ll make you look silly
Joseph Addai is a good running back.
Im a douchebag, an asshole, and I'm rarely right.
OOOO
that was one call. Give it a rest. Trust me you guys do enough pick-plays to make up for that. How about the late hits that Garrard always takes that are ever called? hum….
actually
it was multiple times. Mathis sucks a corner, the only entertaining aspect is the 14 jaguars fans huddling together whining about how he’s not in the probowl, All-pro team, and in canton every year. Those tears are sustaining.
Also, I enjoy the, ‘lol, well, rashean mathis might be trying to knock up your receivers, but garrad got hit late’. I think Cass could tell you what kind of argument that is.

"knock up"
I’m not sure that’s the expression you were looking for, unless you were trying to insinuate that your receivers are pussies that can be knocked up….. Sorry if I’m offending someone. Just couldn’t resist. Besides you weren’t very cordial with your responses, so that added as incentive.
Lets put it this way, assuming you are calling out the refs, which you are; who do you think they would favor in a match such as ours: the team that is 13-0 and making a story out of a possible perfect season or the “lowly” Jags? Lets just be honest with ourselves.
Either way if it’s something we are getting away with and you aren’t, that probably just means your team isn’t taking advantage of how the refs are calling the game or they aren’t going about it the right way.
knocked up
as in ‘to make pregnant’, as in ‘possible side effect of you forcing yourself physically on unwilling people’.

Why are we ganging up on people who are trying to answer questions for us? I’ve never seen us do it before.
He wasnt trying to answer a question
he was trying to be a dick. And in doing so, he failed. He was calling out SpazMo and didn’t have his facts straight so therefore he himself got called out. No one is ganging up on anyone, but if you are going to call someone out, at least now what your talking about first. It’s all fun…maybe?
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
Perhaps s/he was, but I will agree that a Colt fan cast the first stone here.
Because the Mathis question was not “clean, intelligent” only vaguely on the topic of football. It was meant to be inciting. bwfull was valid in pointing that out. It doesn’t matter if they quoted the wrong person, the point is still valid. The mocking or the negative comments about their player doesn’t help us learn anything about their team.
At least that is how I feel.
But
that’s just how SpazMo is. He’s an ass. (No offense Spaz) I personally love it. And really what he says is true.
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
A lot of things are true, but they don't necessarily belong in this conversation.
Was SpazMo really trying to better know the Jacksonville Jaguars?
As I said earlier, there is no irony or ha ha here. bwfull‘s small, insignficant mistake of crediting shake with BBS’s post is not the same as SpazMo asking questions that weren’t “clean” and obviously going to insult the guest commenters. bwfull’s point was completely valid and thus, I see no “irony” or FAIL in it.
shrug It’s not a big deal really and we should probably all just move on as none of this is furthering any discussion about the upcoming game.
I'd rec it but
if i gave away my rec’s I’d have none left.

I agree. I'm sorry I even got into it.
bwfull‘s post also didn’t do anything to help either. I didn’t mean to not talk to you. I was just addressing the other posts. I’ve no big problem with what you asked or said at all, I was just saying that there was no big problem with what others said either. I apologize.
I hear it’s going to rain in Jacksonville tomorrow. Who does that help?
the Jags, I would guess
since a lot of our game revolves around speed and a lot of their game doesnt. They dont have a pass rush to slow down, they don’t have a deep threat to slow down (If Mike Sims-Walker is their deep threat, he’s already hurt, so that will probably slow him more than the weather).
If the Colts stick to running the ball and running it up the middle, then it shouldn’t matter. Is it going to be a downpour, or just a sprinkle?
Never doubt Peyton Manning, he’ll make you look silly

Im a douchebag, an asshole, and I'm rarely right.
You would think the
rain would help the Jags, but they’ve been slipping and sliding everywhere and opposing teams haven’t been nearly as much. I’m not sure why. Maybe they’ve just found the worst spots on the field.
But if the rain is bad enough that both teams struggle passing, I think our team is more prepared to win on the back of our running game and run defense.
However I doubt either QB, with their strong arms, will suffer much with their passes; and I think Manning actually has more of a grip problem than Garrard despite their differences in fumbles. Regardless, I don’t think either will have a problem. But we also have a very young receiving group outside of Holt(Together as a group, the rest had 16 total catches coming into the season), so they might struggle trying to catch a ball in the rain especially the ones with weaker/smaller hands.
You think Peyton has
a grip problem? What makes you say that? I honestly have never heard anybody say that about Peyton before.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Finals suck.
Not saying he has a grip problem
just if I had to rank them I’d have to say his hands don’t hold on to the ball as strongly. In three or four games this season I’ve seen him just lose a handle on the ball once or twice during the game when trying to make a pass. Nothing to write home about, but I haven’t seen Garrard do that since we played in Chicago last year in weather reaching the teens. Even then it only happened once. Just watch Garrard throw the ball. Unless he’s under unfavorable circumstances, like being hit hard by someone he throws a nice spiral. He’s also got a good pump fake that he’s been using a lot this season.
Just so this is clear
this is not an indictment of where I rank the QB’s in comparison to each other.
not trying to be argumentative
because I think Manning sucks, but I don’t recall one example of what you’re talking about. Manning handles his balls as well as anyone. Throwing them into quintuple coverage, on the other hand…

A few things
1) Im an ass.
2) Im intelligent
3) The question was very sincere and important to me: I’ve never seen someone get away with DPI so much before in my life, I’m curious about the secret of his success.
4) It is not only completely related to football, but to the game tomorrow, as I think Mathis was waiting for this game to come back, and we’ll get to see him in action tomorrow in 48% of all american households.
5) I do not like the Jaguars or their 15 fans. They are, in my opinion, no better than college fans, but they and their team have a sense of entitlement. They have done nothing and earned nothing, but they are going to lose a football team because they havent won the super bowl in 16 years of existence or gotten the national attention they feel they deserve.
All that said, I won’t come back to the thread anymore. I hope we all learn lots about the Jags, while they are still in Jacksonville.

Can you give me some background on your wideouts? Other than Torry Holt, I only know Matt Jones, the guy who was awesome in madden when he was drafted, but not so much in real life.
You are lucky to have Torry Holt. I think he is the second/third best receiver of the 00’s (moss, harrison, Holt) and is a complete class act.
That wasn't meant to be
such a short response. I just got busy doing other things. Sorry
Holt is actually the 3rd best receiver when the receivers not on IR are healthy. Mike Sims-Walker is a pretty darn good player, but he’s just going through an injury battle these last few weeks. If I could compare him to some players, I would say he is a cross between Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne. His strength and size are between the 2. His hands aren’t as great as Wayne’s and maybe even not Andre’s. In either case he hasn’t dropped a lot of passes. He runs great routes and he’s faster than Wayne, and slightly slower than Andre. For those of you who don’t know, he played with Brandon Marshall in college and was the better of the 2 if that puts things in perspective.(6’2" 215 4.35-40)
Our 4th round pick Mike Thomas is kinda like a poor man’s Steve Smith or Percy Harvin. Almost built like a RB and plays like one with the ball in his hands. He’s actually faster than either of the aforementioned, and he has great leaping ability and just as good a hands. He runs good routes and can catch in traffic very well, but he is still learning the position; otherwise I think he would be a starter. He’s also our new return man.(5’8" 195 4.29 40)
Our 4th receiver is a UDFA named Nate Hughes, a former track star. He’s got plenty of speed and reminds me of a poor man’s Benard Berrian. His main weakness, other than youth, seems to be his hands when being contested for the ball.
We may have a 5th receiver active one Thursday I’m not sure, but he was a 7th rounder in Tiquan Underwood from Kenny Britt’s college, Rutgers. He’s got height and speed, but he’s a another rookie that’s still learning how to play and being that he’s so thin he needs to learn how to get off a jam a little better. Early in training camp he had trouble catching a much faster pro ball from Garrard.
Unfortunately, Mike Sims-Walker and Mike Thomas are banged up and Holt is older, slower, and his hands aren’t exactly what they used to be. Holt is a very very smart guy, and runs some of the best routes in the league. He is very professional.
Watch out for our TE’s though. Marcedes Lewis is a 6’7" 275lbs deep threat that can block really well. And our 6th rd pick TE Zach Miller is a former college QB that is still learning the ropes as a blocker and receiver, but he’s got more upside than pretty much any TE in the league. He’s big, strong, and super fast. Everyone wants to compare him to Dallas Clark, partially because we are in the same division; but really there isn’t anyone built like him. Here’s a few vids of him:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCus2P1zHiw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mptxOS_91Vc
In short, Zach Miller IS what Matt Jones was supposed to be.
It seems nice that you have broken the streak of terrible receiver draft picks: I remember R.J. Soward, Reggie Wiilliams (is he out of the league, too?), Matt Jones, all being huge failures. Its not a unique problem to your organization, it is depressing how often top wide receivers tend to fail. See David Terrell, Peter Warrick, Darius Heymcbutterfingers…
Maybe they should start doing the George Costanza...
And drafting the opposite receiver of the one they would have drafted.

they could do the receiver ‘switch’.
Yes Williams
is out of the league. But I don’t think it was based solely on his lack of talent, because he actually had some and he could have formed a niche for himself somewhere; but he had some off the field drug problems after not being brought back by the Jaguars this off season.
Do I start Sims-Walker Sunday??
or Mike Thomas possibly??
If you want to be gutsy and thing we'll be trying to keep up with the Colts by passing
then yes, I’d play him. I think the answer is clear.

I'd say
it depends on who ends up playing on Thursday for your team, and how MSW is listed for the game on the injury report. If he’s doubtful or even maybe questionable I would stay away from him.
Mike Thomas is a good player, but he’s also coming off a injury, and he’s not a Garrard favorite in the endzone.
What’s the deal with Rashad Jennings? He’s getting virtually no carries this season.

I’m just curious whether he sucks, is progressing slowly but surely, or if MJD is just a ball hog, not that being a ball hog is a bad thing in his case.

Not sure,
I like Rashad Jennings, i like how we transfered to Liberty from Pittsburgh to be with his father. He’s a hard hitting RB who has had some nice runs. He’s on a good investment for a 7th rounder. But i guess we must invest our hope in MJD, and keep MJD in the game at all times.

Maurice Jones Drew is The Best RB in the AFC--Please Disagree with me
I actually didn't like
the Rashad Jennings pick a whole lot, because I thought there was better available, and because I didn’t think he fit well with MJD. But he’s been progressing and getting better at everything he does, especially his blocking which is crucial to see the field on this team; it’s to the point that I think they are anal about it. If you get a chance, watch how well MJD blocks. Sometimes I wonder if he could play some guard in a pinch. Laugh as you may, but I’ve seen him knock a few DT’s flat on their back.
In reality however, MJD is just a better back; and because he’s not being overworked on a per game basis there isn’t a large need to rotate him out all that often.
Yes it was
but he does that kind of stuff regularly. And he doesn’t just do it at the line of scrimmage. He does it all over the field. No matter where the ball is thrown to, he will chase it down and try to block for whoever catches it. He’s also probably our leading tackler after a turn over. In college it was said that the biggest hits were made by the defense technically, but it was really MJD in practice after a turnover that hit the hardest. He was highly recruited to be a safety. He is the epitome of what a football player is.
Just watch him through a whole game regardless of where the ball goes. It’s really impressive how much more he does when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands.
He;s been getting more carries as of late, and he is starting to come on.

Nelson if he

If we had a semblance of a pass rush I think a lot of his flaws wouldn’t be so dramatic. Not a great player in other words, but he can be salvaged. He’s also been playing some nickle, where he’s been more than adequate.
Have you watched any Colts games this year? Do you think we'll do a better job with MJD
this time around? I feel as if we’ve gotten a lot better against the run, but he’s the one that has always given us trouble.
Haven't seen much of Indy outside of the highlight shows
The main thing I’ll be watching for is how LT Eugene Monroe does against Dwight Freeney. Freeney took Monroe to the woodshed in Week 1 and it will be a good measuring stick to see how Monroe has progressed.

I actually think
your run D actually did pretty good in week one, but MJD is just unstoppable at times; especially in the open field. But your defense I thought did a number on our OL when trying to stop the run. As for how well you guys will fair against MJD I think is a matter of how well the OL does and if MJD is fully healthy, because otherwise we should be able to run on nearly anyone in the league.
I do think your run D is highly underrated, especially in goal line situations; partially because you guys sell out and I don’t think the rest of the league has realized how much you guys have improved in that aspect because they rarely take advantage of you guys selling out.
Thanks for noticing.
We’ve now gotten used to goal-line and 4th down stands. It’s a a nice feeling when a goal-line/4th down stand isn’t cause for a parade anymore. It’s now just a mild celebration for me on par with scoring a TD.

Rookie Tackles
How are the two rookie tackles playing and are you happy the Jags selected them? Also how do you feel about the two DE drafted in last years draft?
by Sanders_fan89 on Dec 16, 2009 1:23 PM EST via mobile reply actions
The tackles (Monroe and Eben Britton) have been playing very well as of late after some expected rookie growing pains
However, just as they came on, the interior of the offensive line has collapsed. Pillars Brad Meester and Vince Maunwai have been mediocre at best the last few weeks, which is very troubling.
Derrick Harvey is starting to come on, and was even voted a defensive captain the last two weeks, so his arrow is pointing up. Quentin Groves is playing better as well.

The deep ball
has been protected a little better as of late, in comparison to past years. Still not great, but we are playing smarter back there and more cover-2/preventative type defenses. I imagine even with everything that we will try to do to take away Clark wont matter, because our defense has been horrible at best against the short passing game.

I realize I’m posting this in a 13-0 Colts site where Manning is hero, but he should be a legit candidate for MVP with Brees and Manning. Tomlinson’s glory days are over and Rivers is literally carrying that team to the postseason.

Not that he’s a bad guy, he’s just too damn fast. I hate watching our defense try to keep up twice a year.
I hate
Hines Ward. Just a dirty player. I would like to hit him if I was defense. I think Cutler is a little B^&*$, but I don’t hate him. I think Tom Brady gets more credit than he deserves, which kind of gets at me from time to time.
I'm no Ward fan either
I really didn’t like Rodney Harrison when he was in the league for the same reasons.
I know this doesn't involve either team
but Chris Henry has passed away this morning at 6:30. My prayers go out to his family, and especially his 3 little kids. I really hope that during this holiday season they may find some kind of peace in the midst of this tragic storm
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
