Get well now Jerraud. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

[From BBS- I'm back, and I will be in the chat room tonight for the Monday night game. In the meantime, enjoy shake n bake's preview.]

Only hours until gameday now and some news is trickling in.

From Phil B, Jamey Richard did not make the trip, so you can mark him down as one of the inactives along with Sanders, Santi and Gonzo. Throw in Painter as the 3rd QB and the Colts are sitting 3 healthy players at most (and with Powers, Gijon and Charlie Johnson listed as questionable they might be sitting none). Phil B also passes along that Pierre Garcon will be making his first NFL start tonight and just an hour south of his hometown, West Palm Beach.

On to the match-up. Two injury situations are key to how the game plays out. Gijon Robinson and Jerraud Powers are questionable after practicing Thursday and Friday, but missing the week's final practice on Saturday. With Tom Santi ruled out, Gijon Robinson's health will be a major factor in determining the usage of Clark, Tamme, Addai and Don Brown. Without Gijon one or more of the 4 RB/TEs will likely be forced into a primarily blocking role to help Charlie Johnson and Ryan Diem handle pass rushers Joey Porter and Jason Taylor. If Gijon is able to go it opens up the RB and other TE on the field to attack the Fins LBs and Safeties, a potentially major weakness in their defense. The Phins have struggled covering TEs from preseason through week 1 this year, so an unleashed Clark and/or Tamme would be major assets for the Colts O.

Powers puts the defense in a similar situation. He's replaceable, but not having him limits what the D can do. The expert opinion is split on how Powers would be replaced, Phil B guessing that Tim Jennings would get the start, while Oesher thinks that Marlin Jackson would take the start on the outside and slide to the slot when Tim Jennings came in the in nickel, like the secondary did before Jackson and Hayden's injuries. Either way downgrades the outside coverage in blitz situations. Powers was drafted and won the week 1 start thanks to his ability to play both man and zone coverage. Jackson is likely not back to 100% on his rebuilt knee and both Jackson and Jennings had been immersed in the almost exclusively zone Colts D for several years.

Pass Pressure will be the key for both sides. Between the two teams players accounting for nearly 400* career sacks will take the field tonight. If one team is able to get pressure while the other isn't it's likely to be a lopsided game very quickly.

With the return of Big Ed, Mookie and Muir integrated into the system and considerably threat of the deep ball than usual the Colts have the set up to be able to stop, rather than just contain a competent running game tonight. Good tackling will be a necessity against a team that won't get impatient and lob ill advised deep shots.

Both Os have a significant wild card going for them. With the Dolphins it's their various iterations of the Wildcat offense. The Colts repeatedly shut down a unbalanced line, power running attack from the Ravens last year, despite being severely undersized, but the Dolphins Wildcat offers more challenges, especially with a pass/run threat like Pat White able to take the snaps. On the Colts side it's not a unusual formation that presents challenges to the D, it's the ability to run a vast array of usual formations with the exact same players. The Colts can run everything from 2 TE-Singleback, to 5 Wide to a Splitback formation from the same personnel package (Wayne, Garcon, Clark, Tamme, Addai). The Colts can give the D vastly different looks and strengths, while the hurry up and lack of substitution prevents the D from making personnel adjustments.

The Colts need to give Peyton time to throw, keep the Dolphins from eating up the clock with the run game on dink/dunk passing and not allow any big plays on blown tackling or wildcat confusion. If the Colts can pull it off they'll sit a game up in the division and over the rival Pats, Chargers and Steelers, with a two game lead over division foes Jacksonville and Tennessee.

Go Colts!

Star-divide

*391 career sacks, including 6 players with over 20 career sacks: Jason Taylor (121.5), Joey Porter (83), Dwight Freeney (71.5), Robert Mathis (53.5), Raheem Brock (25), Jason Ferguson (22.5).

Warming up for this

By watching the Colts win over the Jags from last week in replay. First time I’ve seen the Luke in HD, looks damn fine.

by eltharion_doa on Sep 21, 2009 2:45 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Living in Tampa, I've never been to the Luke

I heard a lot of criticism when it opened. Maybe it’s just because people don’t embrace change. Can anyone give me their perceptions of the ‘new’ stadium now that you’re getting used to it?

by Ayrshire on Sep 21, 2009 3:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

it is amazing!

ive been a couple of times to watch the colts play and its just a beautiful site coming around 465 seeing it against the skyline of Indy….the walk to the stadium is just an amazing site, the idea to build with brick was a really good idea

I stood on the 50 yard line, right on the horseshoe. Amazing building. But the Luke is great too, very majestic.

I LOVE the Luke but,

It’s not as loud as the dome. I REALLY miss that deafening noise.

I disagree.

What I heard during that Jags game last week was just as loud (if not a little louder) than the dome.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: My chemistry class decided to have their first test on Monday, September 21, from 8:00-9:00 PM. The Colts play the Dolphins at 8:30 that same night. I don't think I can be any more ticked off right now. I think I'm going to kill someone. No, really. I just haven't decided who yet.

I wish I could agree with you.

But there’s no way it’s louder. Maybe at the end when our D got a standing ovation, but earlier in the game I had to egg on all the drips near me just to get them to yell anything!

Cant wait till 5

(well 5 o’clock for me anyway since i live on the west coast) I jacked for this game, and we need to take advantage of what happened yesterday. I know the Dolphins have a pretty good run defense, but I hope we can find a way to run the ball effectively so we can run PA off of it.

by metal_militia on Sep 21, 2009 3:24 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

im leaving class early...

cant wait to get off to another great start…this will be an excellent game for the defense to prove they can stop/limit the run(establish consistency)….cant wait to see the air attack against the rookie d-backs, as peyton should take advantage of them. im looking for wayne to have a big game being all over the place.

Aw shutup.

I can’t stinking skip/leave my class until I’m finished with the test. (20 chemistry MC questions.) Hopefully it’s mostly conceptual questions. Those are the ones I can answer really quickly.

Speaking of school

Today I saw a guy with a #18 jersey on and I yelled out “Go Colts” and he said “Hey!” lol
I too wore a Colts blue top and white capris…Last day of summer :(

Also one of the professors at lunch was talking about being nervous because he didn’t know which Phins team will show up. lol

I hope

More than there is in the game. Luckily, we have a QB who can avoid the rush – even with poor pass protection – like few others. He just doesn’t get the billing for it because he doesn’t run around like Ben ROFLisberger.

CJ played well last week

though Derrick Harvey looks like a total bust so that might now mean much. I’ll be concerned if Gijon doesn’t play and they have to keep Clark and/or Tamme (probably the Colts best weapons against the Phins D) in to block.

It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.

or Ugoh is pretty athletic for a big guy

never going to happen, but giving him a crash course in route running and starting him as the blocking TE would be interesting.

Well

I think it would be, but we still don’t know what specifically they’ll try to do from that formation. Pat White can actually be a pocket passer at times, and is one of the most accurate ATHs out there throwing the ball. I fear them using the formation to neutralize our pass rush.

I can't believe that Baldinger and Dukes think we'll lose this one.

They say that the Dolphins defense will be too much for Manning. I disagree. While they may be able to get pressure on him, his realease is so quick that I don’t see them getting more than two sacks.

Plus I think we’ll see Reggie Wayne in a bunch of different positions (slot, out to the right, maybe even in the backfield) Reggie will be up against a rookie cornerback. I’ll take that matchup all day. (even if he has saftey help over the Top b/c Miami’s safeties aren’t exactly Pro Bowlers) Plus if Johnson can give Peyton enough time, 2.5 to 3 seconds, then Clark should have a field day against the Dolphins linebackers.

Dukes said that the Colts offense still doesn’t have “it” going yet. But the reason we only scored 14 points was because of our two turnovers and the fact that we couldn’t convert on a couple of third and short situations.

I think that Freeney and Mathis should play well and that we should be able to contain Miami’s rushing attack. (no more than 125 rushing yards) Plus none of their receivers, with the exception of Fasano, really scare me, regardless if Powers isn’t playing. I see it being a good game, with the Colts offense getting back on track, 27-16 Colts.

However, the key to this game will be the play of Charlie Johnson.

they actually made it an acronym with a real meaning because people complained about the stats being

“Alphabet Soup”

if you are right about Dave, then he’s a analytical genius and a professional darts player.

I guess it is a hunch. He’s missed the last two days of practice and is listed as questionable. If past history applies with Caldwell as a new head coach, he’ll probably not play.

I think he just missed Saturday

which isn’t a good sign, but isn’t nearly as bad as missing two days, including the last day.

If you miss the last day it’s not good. We’ll see. Particularly with a groin injury. It takes a few days generally.

missing the last day is a kiss of death for guys that missed other days

but the last day alone could just be some rest for a tweak.

For what it's worth...

Oehser thinks Jackson will start, and PhilB thinks Jennings will start. This added to my conclusion. I suppose he could still come in for nickel work… but I thought injury… missed practice… questionnable… and Oehser and PhilB thinking he won’t start = he probably won’t play. We shall see. I hope he does, so long as he’s healthy.

I had thought their comments on Jackson vs Jennings were conditional

if Powers can’t go, then who?

and questionable is a tricky thing with the Colts. They don’t believe in the probable label.

But have to get one of those type of classes done for core BS, I figured it was easier than Chem or one of the others.

I feel good abou the defense going into this game

With Moala and Big Ed back in the lineup, the defense should be good against the run. Also I feel the wildcat can be negated with the speed we have on our defense. When I watched the Dolphins last year, I saw that the Wildcat had problems against speed.

Offensively, although I am not terribly worried, the offensive line is a bit of a concern. I hope CJ (Tony Ugoh?) and Diem can hold up against Porter, Taylor, and Merling. I believe the Colts will give them some help with a chip from the TE or RB, but we need our TE’s and RB’s running routes, rather than having them stay in and block all day

by metal_militia on Sep 21, 2009 7:13 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Not to be a downer but...

What has Moala done that would cause any impact in your confidence about our defense?

I know he hasn't shown much in the preseason

but I his presence provides us with depth. It may be just wishful thinking, but I think he can show why he was drafted in the second round tonight. Towards the end of the preseason, he started to show some of the quickness and penetration we all wanted from him. well at least thats what i hope.

OK guys, I've got to pack up my test stuff (like pencils and calculator)

and get going to my Chem test now. If you find yourself near Miami anytime soon, see if you can delay the game by around 15 minutes. Steal all of the game balls or something.

I’ll probably make an appearance on the open thread during halftime, but otherwise I won’t be here for the rest of the game. I’ll let you know how the test went then. Give me a lot of good stuff to read tomorrow.

OK guys, I’m out now.

Dude really...

The ESPN exists for one reason… to generate revenues. It’s not “shoving anything” down anyone’s throats. The viewers demand the NBA, so they give it to them. If ESPN could generate more revenue by giving the NHL more play, they’d do it. Don’t kid yourself.

Versus does suck

That deal is killing IRL.

True

Even the shitty treatment that IRL got from ESPN is better than Versus. And the NHL will never be taken seriously on as long as it’s on Versus.

I hate

Seeing what I consider the vastly superior racing league – from a talent and watchability standpoint – flounder in this awful TV deal.

Another perfect example

That popularity doesn’t make something better than something else. I would agree that the IRL is a much better product in NASCAR. But NASCAR is miles ahead in popularity.

They're building via the NHL, sure

But they’re starting to get stuff like MMA and pretty big college games.

They’re building a pretty good product – slowly, but it takes time to do such things.

MMA

Will make Versus more money and get them more viewers than the NHL.

If they get the premiere MMA, that's probably true

Because MMA is just exploding in popularity right now.

My final thoughts on hockey

If you’ve watched it, and didn’t like it. So be it. There are plenty of sports that I rarely watch.

But for those who have never watched hockey or really know nothing about it, just give it a chance. I think many people would be pleasantly surprised.

If ESPN had a contract with the NHL

They would promote it a TON. But it’s not on any network of theirs, so they barely give it a look.

Look at NASCAR. Before ESPN had a NASCAR deal, they gave it shit for attention, and now they talk about it a hell of a lot more. (Despite the decline in quality IMO in NASCAR)

That's because the NHL is run by morons

Not because the product is bad.
 

It’s hard to watch the NBA and feel that you are even watching something legitimate with how horrible the reffing is, the absurd star biases, the blatant disregard for the sports basic rules.

Hell, High school basketball > NBA in my opinion.

I'm argument that the NHL's product is great

Frankly, I would argue the NHL’s postseason is the most intense and exciting in ALL of sports, and that’s coming from a NFL die-hard. The on ice competition is excellent.

The league is just run by a bunch of fucking idiots

Because it is exciting stuff. Just because something isn’t widely popular doesn’t mean it sucks. That’s what so many have accepted just because ESPN doesn’t talk hockey. It’s a shame the NHL has no idea how to promote themselves.

That might help, but they need games on free TV

In high-quality HD. If ESPN wants NHL, they’ll throw ABC coverage into the deal.

I wish I got more hockey, personally

Now that Versus is off DirecTV (Have I mentioned Versus sucks?) and it’s not on my campus cable, I really won’t get to see any games outside of the Red Wings on FSN. The playoffs are going to be a task to watch.

Brutal

The versus deal is not helping the NHL win new fans. Sunday afternoon games on NBC are not good enough to build a stronger base of fans. you need those tuesday-thursday night ESPN national games showcasing different stars and rivalries.

by torontocoltsfan on Sep 21, 2009 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly

Just about everyone has ESPN. Most people have Versus, and half of them that do don’t know it. (Hell, I first stumbled on it on DirecTV by pure accident, since it’s like Channel 606 or some shit)

We all have our own tastes

If you’ve watched hockey and didn’t like it, then so be it. But I think a lot of people don’t even give it a chance, or even attempt to watch it.

I never knew about hockey or gave two shits about it until I left Indiana a few years ago. Now, hockey is my second favorite sport, only to the NFL.

Shake: ESPN keeps saying Collie is starting. Are they wrong? are the Colts opening 3 Wide? ?

Phil B: It’s my understanding from a Colts player that Garcon is starting. But the TV guys have their meetings with the teams, and it wouldn’t be the first time somebody let out some info.

havent seen him play out wide in the pros

and despite the fact many players succeed without being very fast, his lack of speed is a bit concerning if he is asked to start out wide

by metal_militia on Sep 21, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Speed is overrated

Looks at the top wideouts in the league and you’ll be shocked how many of them are not known for speed.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: I blazed through my test in 20 minutes and sprinted back to my room just as the MNF theme song ended. Good thing too, with that 1st play.
