There's nothing like a little Twitter smack talk
Indy's very own Raheem Brock tweets @ former Colts player and current Broncos player Darrell Reid (Footz95) about this Sunday's contest.
"@Footz95 yo someone just told me if we beat yall sun.we get homefield advantage!I hope yall ready for this 60min ass kickn..we on a mission!"
Well said sir.
And if you were curious, here's Reid's retort:
"@RaheemBrock Here U Go. I Wasn't Gonna Start But If Dats How U Wanna Play Son. I Know Ya'll Weaknesses"

Ohhhh, Darrel Reid
how I will never forget that hit in the Tennessee game.
Anyway, that is what I want to see.
EVH+DLR=BFFr........ God I Hope So!!
Good thing you remember it
because the other participant in that collision doesn’t remember a thing. Including his name.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
We have weaknesses?

Yes, we do.
The weakness is ‘resting’ players at the end of the season when we need to stay sharp.
uh
you missed the part where Brock tweeted back
“We have no weaknesses, we shipped you to denver”
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.
lol
oh man that’s funny. I like Reid…he was one helluva special teams player for sure.

lmao!
Classic pwn!
But DR sure hasn’t been a weakness for us so far, on or off the field. A very good player and a very good guy. Thrilled to have him!

Reid really knows these weaknesses
Because this defense is a carbon copy of the one they ran last year. Yep.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
I, for one, hope he is right.
I’m not sure Peyton Manning has weaknesses, because he is a football robot with a laser rocket arm, but there may be other weaknesses. Maybe.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
Girl, you don't need to be a 10, as long as you have a good smile and smell like bacon.
Hmmm
I will think about this and get back to you on Thursday and see if I have found something.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
That's okay, just send it straight to Josh McDaniels.
Actually, if you can say it in 140 characters or less, just tweet Reid. lol

Josh McDaniels
will this guy still be in the running for Coach of the Year…even if Caldwell has a gameplan that punches Denver in the mouth? Interesting rookie coach match-up nonetheless.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 7, 2009 8:42 PM EST reply actions
No
Caldwell has won Coach of the Year. It’s over.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Dude I hope so
Caldwell is a hell of a lot better at developing young talent. Garcon, Collie, Santi, and the Rookie CBs have no business playing in the NFL…but here they are playing at a high level. McDaniels first round CB pick can’t even get on the field and has to give up playing time to Ty Law.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 7, 2009 8:59 PM EST up reply actions
It doesn't matter
He’s a rookie head coach who will have his team be at least 14-2. They will have to give it to him.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Don't the colts get to 14 wins every year automatically, anyways, regardless of the coach?
I don’t think you can be coach of the year if you have peyton manning as your QB. That guy is worth probably 10 or 11 wins, by himself.

Peyton Manning
will make any rookie head coaches life easier. McDaniels has turned Orton into Chad Pennington in his prime years with the Jets (that’s a good thing)…but good QBs only go so far, ask Tom Brady and Big Ben right now. After watching the slide of AFC powerhouses like the Pats and Steelers, I’m even more impressed with Caldwell/Manning’s Colts since their doing it with guys who aren’t exactly household names and were later round draft picks. I mean who would’ve thought that Tom Brady, with amazing weapons like Welker and Moss, is only 7-5 at this point? Big Ben 6-6?
McDaniels is the next Mike Tomlin and that’s a good thing for the Broncos…I’m just impressed that Caldwell has kept this ship running smoothly despite the shift in AFC supremacy.

I really respect your opinion and respect Caldwell and all he’s done this year, but this is where I just have to disagree. He essentially came up through an existing system and didn’t fix what wasn’t broken and is taking his team to the playoffs. (This is my perception from afar, anyway — please correct me if I’m wrong.)
Whereas McDaniels came in brand new, installed a completely new system, overhauled the roster, acheived complete buy in from his final 53 (all under incredible media durress), reunited a frightningly divided fan base, and is guiding a team to the playoffs that most predicted would be headed to the dustbin.
The Broncos have been streaky, yes, but very few new coaches could ever have accomplished what McDaniels has this year under such pressure.
I definitely agree that a lot of people may decide COTY based on this head-to-head matchup, which the Colts will most likely win and, by extension, Caldwell will win COTY. I just disagree that that’s the way it should be decided, that’s all.

Um...
what? McDaniels’ two first round picks were Knowshon Moreno and Robert Ayers. The former is probably the best rookie RB in the NFL right now and the latter is getting a lot more playing time and playing well. You’re probably thinking of Alphonso Smith, the 2nd round pick who is a talented CB and who has definitely been erratic. But he’s a rookie. And yeah, he’s playing behind Champ Bailey, Andre Goodman and Ty Law. So this is to take nothing away from Caldwell who has done an amazing job leading a balanced team and even as a Broncos fan would probably get my vote as coach of the year (though McD deserves some votes) but your point about developing young talent doesn’t wash. Sorry. But good luck next Sunday and for the rest of the season. Colts have a great team.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants country, and damned proud of it.
But was Alphonso Smith
worth two first round picks? He maybe erratic…but its never a good thing when you’re replaced in the nickel by a guy off the street. Growing pains need to happen on the field as #18 has said in interviews.
I liked the Knowshon pick…but his fumblitis is as bad as Hightowers. I’m kind of lukewarm about this years RB class.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 3:57 AM EST up reply actions
McDaniels jacked up Orton
So I think everybody in the league knows McDaniels can work with and tweak young guys…but come on underdog, Caldwell has done wonders with garbage draft picks in the 27-32 range. And unlike McDaniels…Caldwell has resisted the temptation to call up older free agents despite the Colts injury riddled musical chair secondary…and for our rookie CBs it’s paid dividends for them and the team. McDaniels will make stars out of kids like Orton…Caldwell’s just doing it better.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 4:19 AM EST up reply actions
He cost us our first round pick next year. Seattle wanted that for their early second round pick this year.
And most people are pretty disappointed that he hasn’t shown more promise. He was supposed to be the ball hawk and ST playmaker but he hasn’t shown us a whole lot. We’re still in wait and see mode with him.
Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal.
That's more a fair point of debate
(definitely debated ad nauseum on Mile High Report). I personally think he was because I think he’s going to be a great one and thought he had first round value. But some will disagree of course. Don’t think we’ll know really for another 1-2 years. The other DBs he picked up in the draft have been more effective so far, David Bruton of Notre Dame and Darcel McBath of Texas Tech both look like steals. Knowshon’s fumbling has calmed down. It’s not unusual for rookies to have that issue either.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants country, and damned proud of it.
True about the fumbles
but Ahman Green never shook off that habit and even AP still has the bad case of it. If Knowshawn can fix it like Barber, than credit goes to McDaniels.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 4:04 PM EST up reply actions
Or Bobby Turner
their excellent RBs coach…
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants country, and damned proud of it.
You can say the same
about Mike Nolan and the Broncos D or the OC and Line “consultants” that stayed with the Colts after Dungy left. I like to give the HC credit, as a whole, for getting the team game ready on Sunday.
Bobby Tuner is an excellent coach considering the revolving door of RBs he’s had to deal with over the years (but you already know that). It’ll be interesting to see if Knowshawn will be the guy who can actually stick around long-term.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 6:16 PM EST up reply actions
You know it's funny
Tuner was interviewed for the Miami Dolphins OC position a few years back…would’ve been interesting to see what the guy could’ve done with a resurgant Ricky Williams and the WildCat.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 6:22 PM EST up reply actions
Underdog
Bruton’s a steal maybe, but McBath not so much. I don’t care who your coach is, but when your picked 48th overall in the draft like McBath was you BETTER show some damn productivity on the field.
You can talk about developing Alphonso, but it’s never good when development involves being replaced by a street free agent, even if its a famous free agent like Law. I agree with others on this site that development should happen on the field; and you either have the talent or you don’t.
Bruton is a steal,
and McBath is showing much promise. Are you telling me that 2nd and 3rd round players must play right away and play well?? There is absolutely nothing wrong with developing players behind veterans, ESPECIALLY if they are Brian Dawkins and Champ Bailey. Ty Law is playing well and McDaniels is going to play whoever is playing the best, and rookies usually need time to grow and learn.
"Really, I'm a high-motor guy. Tough, hard-nosed, a hard runner, can make you miss at times. And just competitive. I love to play the game and I bring that energy to my team. So, we'll see how that goes." - Knowshon Moreno
Knowshon Moreno=ROY
Woah Woah....
Have no business in the NFL is a little harsh….I would agree that the Colts develop young players rather quickly, but I think at least Collie and Powers definitely would have landed on some other team regardless.
Powers maybe
but Collie? I think a lot of teams were turned off by a non-flashy WR from BYU…a smart guy, but he would’ve strickly been a special teams player on another team if that. Maybe Powers would’ve landed with another team, but I don’t know many teams who would put him and Jacob Lacey on the frontlines…I credit Caldwell and the Colts for that ballsy decision which will lead to the young CBs further development.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 12:35 PM EST up reply actions
Collie was the reception leader for the NCAA
last season. I’m pretty sure someone would have found a place for him on their WR core. Don’t take the greatness of Peyton and somehow turn it into a slight of Collie. I’ve seen Peyton throw to bad WR’s before (The aptly named Craphonso Thorpe, for instance). Collie is a good WR with a bright future.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.
I remember
but Ron Dayne broke school records in Wisconsin, I’m not sure where he is now (sorry, Giants fans). Collie’s one of the best WRs the Colts have right now, and maybe just maybe one of the best in the league…but I don’t know if that’d be the case say he landed with, I don’t know, the Rams or Chiefs. I credit the Colts OC staff, and Collie himself, for what he’s done…but I’m just not sure he would’ve had the chance to shine somewhere else. Darius Heyword Bey, anyone?
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 3:43 PM EST up reply actions
Collie isn't even close to
being one of the best WR’s in the league. He’s probably the 4th best receiver on his team (Reggie, Clark, and Garcon). What are you basing that off of?

Your right Cassieper
Collie’s nowhere near Wes Welker/Reggie Wayne status, though I’d say he’s playing better than a lot of the other WRs in the league…DHB included; and Collie’s numbers are comproable to Hakeem Nicks (both guys have around 500 rec yards and 5 TDs) though Nicks was picked way higher in the 1st round.
Your right Cassieper, Collie’s not the next Andre Johnson and I apologize if I made it seem like he was. I should have clarified in my post and that’s my bad.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 4:20 PM EST up reply actions
Collie's success
whether it’s due to the Colts system or Collie is just that good I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that one.
Good luck next Sunday.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 4:28 PM EST up reply actions
And the messed up thing
With Collie’s numbers…he’d be one of the leading WR with the Bears or Rams.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 4:43 PM EST up reply actions
Metalgear if you wont say it then I will. I think Collie can be the next Wes Welker. Call me a biased Colt fan and I’m used to watching awfulness in St Louis so my perspective is a bit skewed but the kid has the potential to be a leading wideout. I say potential mind you but whatever it was your intention or not I would not apologize for calling out Collie as one of the best. I see the tangibles in Collie.
I can't agree with this.
The team cladwell had coming in to the year was thought to be a 12-0 team. McDaniels has done an increadible job with what “experts” were saying was a 3 win team.
McDaniels
may very well get Coach of the Year honors…but a lot people (sports talk radio included) thought this year’s Colts would take a step backwards (10-6 record predictions if memory serves me correct)…and that’s with all the starters. Obviously, it absolutely helps when you have Manning at the helm…but what shouldn’t help is when Bob Sanders, two starting CBs, and Gonzalaz is gone; yet the Colts are still 12-0 with guys who should be on the practice squad. The Broncos have exceeded expectations, but so have the Bengals…and unlike the other AFC powerhouses the Colts still remain on top next to only the Chargers.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 2:08 AM EST up reply actions
That being said
I credit the Broncos organization for turning that defense around. Any team with Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall will have a decent offense…but it’s interesting to see the Broncos defined by defense.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 2:31 AM EST up reply actions
10-6 is still a playoff worthy season.
That isn’t much of a step back, in my opinion. Those are still pretty high expectations. Experts were predicting 2, 3 or maybe 4 wins (if they were feeling risky) for the broncos. Even hometown reporter Woody Paige predicted like 3 wins. Well, we exceeded those expectations by week 4.

The Broncos streak is impressive
but Collie, Garcon, Powers, Lacey, Santi, Brown, etc. aren’t exactly household names but they’re playing at a near veteran level. Having Manning definitely helps, but it’s just plain ridiculous the number of guys on the Colts who were picked in the 27-32 draft range who are playing solid, difference making football.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Dec 8, 2009 12:52 PM EST up reply actions
It's Peyton induced success.
Put Collie, Garcon, Powers, Lacey, Santi, Brown etc on any other team in the NFL and they are just amateurs.
By the way, Garcon is the coolest name in the NFL. The jersey with the fancy letter “c” on the back is just awesome. Just thought I would throw that out there.

Tweeting trash-talk
I’m sorry, but it’s impossible to sound tough, much less BE tough, when you are doing it via an act referred to as “tweeting.”
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
Normally I'd be against smack talk
No need to give the other team bulletin-board material. But it’s all in good humor, Reid and Brock played next to each other for years. No disrespect there.
It's like reading Shakespeare
