Do you think the pursuit of Devin Thomas points to more serious exent of the injuries to: Anthony Gonzalez, Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie?

I am worried the injuries to the receiving core may be worse than anticipation with a team pursuing Devin Thomas instead of a player to shore up the secondary or o-line. What do you think Colts fans?

i think gonzo will be back either this week or for the houston game...

unless he turns into glass again.
we know that collie has been playing hurt so maybe, but gonzo is like the arguably better version of collie so with gonzo in collie can take a break and get healthy.
not sure about garcon, but white can fill in on the outside.

secondary is ok except for hayden, really (and maybe SS), and hayden’s problem is mental, not physical or talent-wise. not sure what his deal is. they actually did address the safety depth.

oline needs more time and practice to gel, not bringing in new people to churn the pot (though i wouldn’t say no to a real LT so johnson could move to RT or guard).

all the colts need from a returner is to not fumble the ball.

i believe moore has value as a non-returner ST player as well, which is where the colts lost a lot of bodies to injury (see bullitt, melvin and conner, kavell, etc).

Wrong and

if the Colts don’t get a legitimate KR it is going to catch up top us. You guys keep underestimating the importance of good special teams play. Jeff Fisher took the Titans to the SB on good Special teams play. Desmond Howard helped the Packers win a SB with good special teams play. He (Not Brett Favre) was the SB MVP. Peyton Manning can only get you so far and to be honest with you, the way the Jets and Ravens are playing we are going to need good play from ALL PHASES OF OUR TEAM. Get a real KR guys seriously!

No

Only, Devin Thomas is an upgrade over Kenny Moore. He averaged 28 yards a kick return this year.

Thomas...?

Where did you hear that we had pursued Devin Thomas? I hadn’t heard that anywhere…

Trade???

Could it be? that the Colts had received a trade offer that include one of the wr? maybe gonzo or Garcon?

McNeil

His deal got done so everyone knows what kind of contract they would be taking on. We need to make a move to get help with either our offensive line or secondary. Can’t let both of these situation go much longer.
