Luke Links: I'm gonna kick Deshawn Zombie's butt!

Can you tell Deshawn and I are STARVING for Colts news? While the rest of the league frolics in Jay Cutler drama, Terrell Owens unemployment, or the home improvement project in Kansas City, we Colts fans are left to cannibalize each other.
- 18 to 88's Deshawn Zombie disagrees with me on Dom over Edge. I don't thinkmy original post was focused specifically on that, but I'll just respond that Dom adds a strong locker room energy that lots of Colts players respond to. He has also taken fewer hits and has less wear and tear on his body. I personally think neither will be back in the blue shoe, and I personally think both players are excellent examples of what running backs should be.
- Chris at Big Cat Country discusses the "new dawn" of the Jaguars.
- As you probably already know (because ESPN has their sold their soul to Jerry Jones) the Cowboys cut Terrell Owens and safety Roy "can't cover your grandma" Williams. It only took them three years to determine that both players suck.
- By cutting Owens, "America's Team" has to carry a $9 million dollar cap hit of "dead" TO money next year. Feel free to laugh... loudly.
- Hogs Haven's tribute to Roy Williams is hilarious.
- Roy Williams is living proof the Pro Bowl is a load of monkey crap.
- Denver continues to gobble up mediocre running backs.
- Joey Galloway is looking to join our buddy Bill in New England.
- He is also visiting the Bills.
- Nice Jeff Saturday interview (via 18 to 88).
- Titans owner Bud Adams says Vince Young is determined to get his starting job back. Um, Bud, you just signed Kerry Collins to a two-year contract. Collins re-signed specifically to start. This is the same Kerry Collins who QBed the Titans to the AFC South title and 13 wins. Vince can be as "determined" as he wants. He's sitting on the bench again in 2009. Maybe if he was more determined back in 2006, he never would have lost his job to a 36-year-old guy who was cut from three previous teams.
- Texans match offer for WR David Anderson.
- Mike Lombardi feels that with Kurt Warner re-upping with the Cardinals, the important free agents are all signed.

When do you expect that we are going to start “Who the hell will we draft?” since we are all starving for news

Soon
Wanted to wait for free agency to “end.”

I'd wait for at least a few pro days too
Especially for the fringe guys. There’s some guys I have to wait and see their results to have a good feeling about. I don’t believe all the times from the combine, and there’s some guys I do belive performed better than expected or worse that need another shot to prove they don’t deserve to drop, or prove that they’re legit. At this point, I’d consider Hood a better pick than Jerry because Hood stomped the combine and Jerry didn’t participate. Guys like Laurinaitis ran much worse (about .3 seconds) than expected and Nicks ran much better. Although, Laurinaitis running poorly at least puts him within reason of still getting someone I believe could succeed at a position we need if some of our other targets move up. Nicks and Heyward-Bey may move up too high, and maybe even Hood. And yeah, FA is definitely shaking it up as usual. I mean, if Shawn Springs goes to Philly as a safety, I still think they’ll draft a safety, but round 3 at the earliest as opposed to me thinking they’d take one with their second first round pick or at the latest the third.
Not to mention the draft order will probably at least change slightly, or there could be some heavy moving and it’ll totally skew the way we can draft. Compensatory picks should come out at the end of the month (I think we’re due at least a 5th rounder, maybe higher) and the last pro day is on April 2nd. Jerry has his on March 26th.
Jim Sorgi runs a 4.6 40. That's all I've got to say about that.

Brace
I’m still thinking that if, and it is a BIG if, Ron Brace is still there at #27, the Colts will indeed take him.

If he's still there?
pre-combine Dan barely had him as a second rounder #56 and I don’t think he moved much at the combine (literally, didn’t move much, he ran a 5.48 40).

Brace isn’t worthy of a first round pick. He’s been projected as a mid to late 2nd rounder.
This line will remain in my signature until the Colts draft Rashad Jennings in 2009.

I dont think he will go yo the Colts simply because their will be better DTs
availible and other positions have to be adressed first.
Nate Davis = beast, God I hope he doesn't go to Detriot.......

Well yeah, but that’s all we can really base it off of now. Someone may be willing to take a stretch and pick him up. We’ll never really know until he gets drafted.

My point was, in terms of talent and all that, he isn’t worth a first rounder.

for someone who (rightfully) hates on the "two fatties in the middle" defense
you seem pretty up on a guy who’s 40 time as close to Rich Eisen’s as Shonn Greene’s

off season boredom is the first step to relapse
I’m F****** bored and the best news of the day is that we signed a practice squad DT.

Colt fans, Whats your opinion of this guy?
by Zumone on Mar 5, 2009 4:38 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He sounds very familiar…oh yeah! I remember him!
On a serious note, his coverage skills are a liability. He above average against the run for a while, but he started taking on bad habits; overpursuing, failure to shed blocks, etc. He’s still young and has potential though.

Watch the 2009 Colts-Chargers playoff game
it sums up Keiaho.

by colts9318rock on Mar 5, 2009 4:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
What?
No it doesn’t. Keiaho was playing out of position and you’re taking a poor example out of two seasons worth of work. He had some VERY good games in the past. That’s a little unfair. That’s like saying “Go look at the Jets Colts playoff game for an idea of what sums up Peyton Manning.” Dude was banged up, played out of position, and against one of the best TEs in the entire NFL. What’d you expect him to do?

Ok, Damn Then why didn't we sign him?

Because
Because Polian and the Colts FO don’t know if the CBA will be extended or not? And they don’t know exactly which contracts they can restructure to not violate multiple rules? And they’re probably working on Peyton’s contract to account for his voided years, large 2010 hit and everyone elses contract to squeeze as much possible cap space as possible? Not to mention Keiaho does have places to improve and might not fit Coyer’s ideal LB. That doesn’t make him a terrible LB with no upside though.

Neither
Let’s be honest: neither Collins nor V-10 are franchise QB’s.
by Stadtfeld on Mar 5, 2009 11:12 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Not refering to ability
because I agree with you, but they $$ they are being paid is way over the top particularly when their (lack of) ability is factored into the equation.

Even though I'm thrilled that we cut T.O.
he definitely doesn’t suck BBS. He might be an egotistical arrogant selfish SOB who is a locker room cancer, but he’s going to the HOF, only Rice has caught more TDs in the history of the game.
T.O. on the field doesn’t suck any worse than your boy Harrison who just got axed, thats for sure.
