Brackett and Hayden Out for Sunday Night's Game.

PrintIn greatly depressing news, Gary Brackett and Kelvin Hayden didn't travel with the Colts to Arizona for the game. This obviously means that they aren't going to play Sunday. Here's the source.
This is huge news. Brackett and Hayden are essential members of our pass defense and we are going against one of the best passing teams in the league. Our odds of beating Arizona just took a astronomical hit. We pretty much have 2 avenues for winning this game now:
1. Freeney and Mathis both play out of their minds, sack Warner mercilessly, force fumbles and interceptions in the process or cause him to use only short throws because of the pressure.
2. Peyton scores pretty much every time he touches the ball.
That's about it. This game is not looking good guys, and I consider myself a realistic optimist. I just don't see it. Brackett and Hayden are that important. Hopefully, their injuries are like Powers' and they are back next week. Until then, enjoy you more than recommended dose of Tim Jennings and Freddy Keiaho, otherwise known as probably the 2 most hated players currently on the Colts' roster.
Tip to skywalker for telling me and depressing me with the news.

Tim Jennings and Freddy Keiaho will play Sunday Night?!?!
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth…
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
I think we all did, KMR24.
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: 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. So, my streak of seeing every minute of every game since 2003 Tampa still stands. So, my Chem TA lives (for now).
Captain Optimism
to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will win this game. Want to know why? Two words.
Peyton Manning.
We got this.
As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.
Thanks.
That actually does make me feel better.

Three words,
Peyton
Dallas
Reggie
And for a little more optimism thrown in, I think Our D will want to atone for the beating they took last Monday. No matter who starts, I think they’ll get to Warner, I really do.

I wrote that before my morning coffee, so it doesn’t count!

Ah yes,
the morning coffee rule. That rule is also shared by peytonsthebest. One of the main reasons I don’t drink coffee.

Wait til you hit 50, then you'll need it to fire up your little grey cells!

What's the status
On Powers and Jackson for tomorrow’s game? Am I correct to be under the impression that we have them both or can Jackson or Powers not play Hayden’s side for some reason?
Maybe Jackson moves back to the outside
Jennings is always on the outside when Hayden/Jackson goes down. Maybe if Jennings sucks enough then Powers gets moved into the starting outside CB. we will see
by colts9318rock on Sep 26, 2009 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions
I was thinking
If we have Powers and Jackson, we wouldn’t be too bad off having them on the outside over Jennings. But Jennings will probably still get the start, and even in the best case scenario, will still get a fair share of reps, but I’m a much bigger fan of “limiting the damage” as opposed to lining Jennings up against any WR the Cardinals have.
Makes sense to me.
Doubt it will happen, but it makes sense.

They both have to prove they can stay on roster
look for them both to play 110%. This will be a gaint test for both of them.
I think your sig
is very appropriate for this moment…

LOL.
Suck is too strong of a word, but still funny.

Well, I guess get ready for some Tim Jennings bashing
by Colts Homer this time tomorrow.

Even if Jennings is on the sideline,
there will be plenty of Jennings bashing by Colts Homer.

I say
We move Powers outside and use Lacey over Jennings. I think I would feel more comfortable if Lacey, Powers, and Jackson were playover over Jennings. I shudder to think what would happen if Keiaho and Jennings start.
I believe Polian has said
that Keiaho will start if Brackett is out. I’m very confident that he will also start Jennings.

obviously that appears to be the case
However, I believe (which really means nothing since i cant make these decisions) That Lacey is a better option over Jennings

I haven't seen Lacey enough
to determine if he’s better or not.

Hes an undrafted free agent in his rookie year
who happened to make a luckey play in the inzone that should have been caught. I’m not sold yet.

Me neither.
Most of the Lacey sentiment is much more hatred for Jennings than trust in Lacey. People should be careful what they wish for. They might just get it and not like what I see.

Well with this news,
it’s a perfect weekend for me /extremely heavy sarcasm
How can you not love a team that does this?
Sorry, LovinBlue :-(

Thanks
I’m almost over it. What a whoopin’ my team took today. Now… where did I put my beer?

I dont know why
but I for some reason just feel good about this game. Maybe its the high from the Miami game on Monday, but I know that as long as 18 is throwin to 87 and 31 is running the ball with athourity like he does then we should be ok. Plus I like the match up with Freeney and Mathis. I think Warner will have problems with them all game!
GO COLTS!!
I hope you're right.
Truly I do.

Well at least...
they’re not a TE-heavy passing offense. That’d really magnify Gary’s absence. But even still, that’s a huge blow for this game. Him moreso than Hayden. Jennings will be fine. They’re going to complete a lot of passes no matter who plays. As long as none of them are deep, I don’t care if Warner has another 90+ percent game. What worries me is that now they could have a feast on the intermediate routes over the middle.
Interesting point on the TE's
Antonio Gates really carved us up when we played San Diego without Brackett last year. Luckily the Cardinals’ TE’s are not that good.

All of the injuries are short-term at the moment.
Keep your eyes on the bye week. We should be full-strength after it.

Where did everybody go?
Shake is watching the Iowa game (Iowa is currently leading #5 Penn St.), but we have 7 mods/front page posters. I would have expected a front page story by now.
Nothing on 18to88 either. Weird…..

These injuries are disheartening.
I don’t see Jennings being able to cover tall recievers. And I don’t see Keiaho filling Bracketts shoes. But………………AS LONG AS WE HAVE PEYTON WE CAN WIN ANY FREAKING GAME ON ANY GIVEN SUNDAY AGAINST ANYBODY!

I think Peyton heard me, all the way out in Arizona.
But if you insist. AS LONG AS WE HAVE PEYTON WE CAN WIN ANY FREAKING GAME ON ANY GIVEN SUNDAY AGAINST ANYBODY. Over the top? I know, but reading the comments from worried fans, I felt it was my duty to say something positive!
"You can't defend the perfect throw, what can I say?" Peyton quoting Marino
For the love of god
Move Jennings inside. He cannot be a starting outside CB, that’s just a fact. When he plays over the middle, he’s a lot better.
Of course
we can win and probably will. It just seems that in the short term at least, the days of double digits wins are over. We’re probably stuck with the cardiac Colts until Caldwell can get a grip on the situation with the defense. It almost seems to be an overwhelming task for the management/coaching staff though, because year after year the run D is porous as hell, and it’s getting old. Brackett played last week and it’s hard to imagine the D stinking it up any worse than they did. But, I do like Gary. We’ll just have to wait and see. Let’s hope that the defense is tired of getting embarrassed.
My brain hurts
but this is an offense the Colts will use more backer blitzes…Freddy could have a big night.
Ruh Roh!
