The Official Indianapolis Colts Discussion Thread

I'm leaning more towards Ahmad Bradshaw winning the starting job. After his injury last year, our running game crumbled. I just hope he can play an entire season healthy.

Mathis was suspended for a "fertility drug" but one that is not approved for that use by the FDA

On a positive note.

This is the Bastard Mulatto Child of Robert Mathis I was talking about. Anyone got some info? maybe some of you Ohio State Fans?

Most memorable end of any colts game EVER

So is it safe to say T.Rich is done in Indy?

I don't fault Grigson for giving it a shot, it just didn't work out...cut your losses and move on.

Definitely safe to say. Last Sunday brought an end to the T. Rich controversy.

Zurlon Tipton beat him out for the second string position. I know Pagano said he was a healthy scratch because he didn't bring what they needed to the special teams, which warranted Hill's activation that night.

That position will be interesting next year. I think Bradshaw is pretty much washed up and he's not getting any younger. Ballard is coming off 2 ugly injuries 2 years in a row and probably is a shell of his former self. Richardson still has the last year of his contract which iirc is slightly north of 3 Million. The real question is does Indianapolis cut the guy and pay his guaranteed salary or do they trade him for a bag of balls and a few towels? Does Indy address this position in the draft?

I've had a pretty weird year by my standards as far as my Colt predictions went. I predicted over on Pulpa that if they could get past New England they could go to the Superbowl, and now it seems as if I was right.

I thought Newsome looked a lot like Mathis coming out of Ball State and watching him Strip Sack Manning the other night just made my jaw drop. Sometimes I feel like I'm not completely retarded when it comes to this sport, only "kind of" retarded.

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Is there a difference in cap hit if they trade vs. cut?

Not that it really matters with 39 million in cap space

Not sure how I feel about the Dorsett pick. Seems like a reach especially with Brown still on the board. Loved our day 2 picks, thought we'd have picked up some O Line help early today but appears they are going to address that later. Not sure what the plan is.
