Lighting a Fire

I remember Tony Dungy saying in the America’s Team episode about the Colts that he didn’t use bulletin board material. I certainly hope that Jim Caldwell does, because goodness knows there has been enough of it of late. The sheer idiocy of “commentators” like Michael Irvin and Rod Woodson with their crackpot analysis of the Colts offseason should be more than enough to light a fire in the locker room. If we as fans are getting riled up at the fact that our team is, as the late great Rodney Dangerfield said, getting no respect, then imagine what it is doing to the team. Remember in ’06 how the defense played with a chip on their shoulder during the entire playoffs? How they held Larry Johnson, the best back in the game that year with 1,732 yards gained, to only 32 that day? With BBS great post on how the players are taking to Coyer, great personnel moves by Polian in the draft and free agency, and Peyton’s drive I expect a team that will win the AFC South and make a push deep into the playoffs. Should be a fun season.
