Open Letter to Ryan Grigson


I, as a Colts fan, have a few humble suggestions. I realize you spend all of your time studying the team and conferring with the coaches and I realize that you not only want the Colts to win but if you are too keep your job must have the Colts win. I also realize that to some extent you may have an owner that is suggesting to you what needs to happen and I have no idea with how much pressure that owner makes his suggestions - but with that said I as a fan have a few suggestions and I will keep them general and hope other fans will join in to affirm that they would like to see similar moves made.

1) If at all possible I would like to see some new faces on the offensive line. (New starting Center)

2) I sure hope the team doesn't spend a large amount of money on a top free agent wide receiver.

3) I really need to see emphasis put on the defensive side of the ball with free agents and draft picks. (also reward our own FA's - if you are serious about keeping them don't try to lowball them)

4) Don't get too conservative - keep bringing in CFL, AFL and rugby players that have a chance of making the team better. Reward our players with the best environment and ownership structure in the league. Treat them with respect and do not allow shenanigans in the locker room e.g. - Dolphins)

5) Would love to see the Colts get a true return man for kicks and punts - anyone out there remember Billy "White Shoes" Johnson?

Not sure how many fans can agree to these general requests or will bother signing off on them and then not sure if any of the Colts brass monitor or pay attention to these lists and not sure if Irsay pays attention but I have been a fan for over 50 years and I really hope to see another superbowl before my TV gets turned off for good.

GO COLTS
