Player Review: Jeff Saturday
Before this season Jeff Saturday had started 126 of 128 games since becoming a starter. He doubled those games missed this season. The splits with and without Jeff Saturday this past season are dramatic. The table below gives the Colts performance compared to their opponents season average...
Player Review: Mike Pollak
The Colts first pick of the 2008 draft got off to a rocky start that cost him a chunk of preseason and the first month of the regular season. Pollak started the next 13 games before another injury kept him out of the playoff game. Pollak looked lost a lot of the time especially early on. If...
2008 Colts OT Review
Profiles Tony Ugoh Ryan Diem Charlie Johnson Dan Federkiel There are a lot of elite OT's in the draft, but a lot of teams are looking for an OT early and the quality drops off bigtime after the best handful (MtD has 6 1st round graded OTs, 0 2nd and 3rd round graded OTs. Walter...
Player Review: Dan Federkiel
Only 3 players started at OT for the Colts, but Federkiel was to be the next man off the bench (or the interior line). The converted defensive tackle from Medicine Hat, Alberta started the first 3 games of the season and the Colts last of the year. He appeared in 9 more as a special...
Player Review: Ryan Diem
Diem was one of just 4 players to start all 16 games for the offense, that's one of the few nice things I can say about him this season. They were mediocre running behind him and a disaster running wide to his side. via www.colts.com Diem is signed for another 3 seasons at cap hits of 6.1,...
Player Review: Charlie Johnson
It's probably a good thing we didn't do these reviews last season, or else we all would have said horrible, hurtful things that we could never take back about Charlie Johnson. CJ wasn't just a solid guard he was competant at left tackle while Ugoh sat out 4 games (for whatever the reason was)....
Player Review: Tony Ugoh
Offensive Line play isn't something an average (or even most informed) fans watch closely and it's rarely measured by stats directly. It's not hopeless though the limited observation and some indirect statistical info can give a view of a line and the individual linemen. We'll kick off the...
2008 Colts Tight End Review
The Colts are rock solid at the TE spot with Clark signed long term and 4 young players behind him on the roster. The Colts aren't drafting a tight end. They aren't signing anything other than camp bodies in free agency. Along with DE it's the most hard set spot on the team. So ladies and...
Player Review: Dallas Clark
Dallas had his best season yet for the second straight year. He improved his career high in receptions by 19 and yards by 232, but didn't repeat his 11 TD performance of last season (he had 6). Receptions Yards YPR TDs DYAR Catch % 77 848 11.0 6 179 (5th) 72% The OL's...
Player Review: Jacob Tamme
Tamme was expected by many to take the second TE spot after a very good preseason (10 for 133, 2 TDs in 4 games). Jacob Tamme = stud. I think he just passed Gijon Robinson on the depth chart. -BBS on Aug. 17th The rookie (Tamme) is expected to slip right into Ben Utecht's role as Dallas...
