Colts Week 7 Eric Foster 'Keep Choppin' Player of the Week

by nopuntintended on Oct 25, 2011 10:00 AM EDT in 2011 Colts Analysis

The weekly honor to the player who best honors Eric Foster's incredible heart, determination, and leadership.

Boy did we need Eric Foster out there last night. Everything he embodied (heart, hustle, determination and an unwillingness to quit) the Colts lacked against the Saints. It's a long road ahead, but for the Colts they have to keep choppin and find a way to win.

This week's candidates are:

Nobody - You seriously think someone is deserving? How could any player stand for the 'player of the week honor' after that 62-7 disgrace? 62 points!!!!!!! Eric Foster would be ashamed.
Delone Carter - Hey, let's look for the positives. That 42 yard run he had in the second quarter was a phenomenal mix of power and speed and shows he could be really special. 89 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries? Beastly!
Joseph Addai - 2 carries for 8 yards, 2 catches for 11 yards. Nothing special, but Addai embodied Foster's leadership by trying to play through pain. Wasn't expected to play and shouldn't have suited up, Addai gave it a go before ending his night early in the first half.
Jamaal Anderson - 2 tackles and 1 sack. Again, stretching it here... One of the only players to touch Brees all night, Anderson kept choppin and showed veteran discipline by keeping contain on his side of the field most of the night.

Where is Patty Mac and the Punt team?

Who will BP vote for now when he comes on this site for his Colts news? In all seriousness the punt team looked as good as it has all year and McAfee was blasting the ball when it seemed pointless. He could have caught the snap and taken a knee and the Saints would have had the same end to their drive (TD), but Pat kept kicking it deep and gave his defense a chance to do something… anything…

Just gave the NO offense more yards overall.

This team just looked like trash. The day that our defensive scheme changes from that vanilla 2 cover, is a day that Indy should throw a damn parade.

/also throw a parade for the new coaches.

And it's now my sig

Seriously, that's my vote

Pat McAfee. If we had Matt Dodge, the score might’ve been 80-7.

My vote has gotta be....

Delone Carter, boy, he had a terrific game, a couple of very nice runs, I like the Michael Turner comparison we made up for him, it’s certainly a possibility.

Not changing my signature until Hechavarria is promoted to the big leagues.
