When will Bob Sanders return?

I think maybe week 3 or 4 like you said he will be back. Hes a difference maker like you said, so they want to keep their cards as close to their chest for as long as they can to make it harder for defences to plan against them.

I just hope to god they dont have to play Francisco as a safety

Polian didn’t say it outright, but almost guaranteed Sanders won’t be ready this week…he then went on to infer it would be a few weeks out before Sanders returns. At least that’s what I got out of the interview.

I am guessing week 3.

4 to 5 weeks in Colts terms means the season is over. “He is progressing nicely” is terms for oh hell now what do we do. lol

If it is that long of a timeframe. I bet he won’t be back until Week 6.

And because of the importance of the division game, it was more important to activate him than to not have him available for that game.

As a side note, in this case, I hate being right.

Though he is not Bob, he’s more than serviceable.

I’m about ready to see Bob get traded. This is starting to get ridicules.

He’s a waste of a paycheck with his constant injuries. They lose players like Jake Scott because of bad contracts like this.

Week 6 and Week 15. By Week 15 a playoff spot is locked up and they rest him for Week 16 and Week 17.

I think Bob comes back Week 3 against Arizona, so he can eviscerate Boldin and Fitzgerald. At least I hope so because I have nightmares of Fitzgerald doing to the Colts what he did to the Steelers (an excellent defense, as we all know) in the Super Bowl. Or worse.

Bullitt starts on about 28 of the other 31 teams, so I’m fine with Melvin. It’s just that when Bob’s at the top of his game (and his health) he is the most difference making defensive player in the league. Ed Reed is a better pass defender and ballhawk. Troy Polomalu is a great leader. Both of them are first-ballot Hall of Famers. But when he’s right and healthy—which unfortunately for us exceedingly rare—Bob Sanders is the best safety in the NFL.

But. But. But. We’ve got to get value for our money. We’ve got to get Bob on the field. If that means 3 weeks or 5 weeks, cool. Do what it takes to get it right. But here, now, in 2009, with a realistic chance to win it all, it’s time, Bob, it’s time.

Sorry if I shouldn’t post this here, but I’m new! Bill cut Langston Walker today, anyone else wanna see him brought in?

I am sick of the Bob Sanders “will he play and when” saga. Anough already!! I say we talk Bob, if and when he plays!! Not a minute before.

Bob Sanders is a tremendous player. But nevertheless, he is always hurt. Colts need to somehow get rid of him while his trade value is still pretty high.

anyone who comes in his path.
