Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: I will be at training camp this Saturday (the 8th) to get lots of autographs.

Actually,
I was worried for a minute. A 2 person open thread is kinda boring.

Really, REALLY, excited for the defense
Coyer has yet to coach his first game for the Colts, but he is getting me pumped for the defense.
Still haven't heard much about Ray.
Surprised nobody’s done a profile on him yet.

You know
these people your speaking of BBS, some of them have actually changed there opinion after going to Colts camp. Like you said, cynical people are changing there minds as soon as they view this team
The Colts are deep at the spots that have been problems
I’m not sure that are overall better than the last 3-4 Colts teams coming into camp, but that’s much more a compliment to the past Colts teams than a knock on this one. They still have some question marks and spots where injuries would wreck havoc on the team, but they are set for another 12+ win season and playoff run. How that works out just depends on injures, player progression and how the ball happens to bounce on gameday.

Eric Hartz
He reported last night on Twitter that the CBs are starting to press closer to the receivers instead of giving them the traditional 10 yard cushion.
teams have had to put 3 guys on Freeney often, LT/LG/RB
if they can get some rush from other spots they are going to have to stop that or deal with unblocked rushers.

I wish they would
It might balance the line a little more. I just can’t trust the right side of the line in terms of run blocking with Pollak and Diem holding it down.
I would too,
except that I can’t do backflips. How ’bout I do crooked somersaults?

really stunted Pollak last year.

It's based on reputation.

Plz do
Looking forward to your write-up. Keep an eye to see if Collie is still the slot receiver, plz.

Quick thing on Collie/Garcon
I don’t think Collie focusing on slot receiver necessarily indicates that he’ll be the third receiver. Could just be the best position for his talents.
Reggie or Gonzo could easily slide inside and Garcon (who is working outside) comes on the field.
Just thought I would paint that picture.
Garcon is such a nasty run-blocker btw.
