I really wanted Harvin for awhile and it seemed like a real possibility, but considering he failed a drug test I doubt Polian would draft him.

I'm all for drafting Nicks with our first pick or a DT if one falls. I'm fine with trading down also.

 

[Gonzo]

I do not want to take a DT in the first round honestly. I'd rather trade down. 2 picks later in the draft is always better than 1 earlier in the draft; unless there's a can't-pass player.

aka Peyton.

That's how I feel

I'd much rather trade down and pick up a solid DT and get an extra pick to fill up some depth before wasting a first round pick on a questionable DT (Peria Jerry)

from what I hear, the only DT people are actually fully jumping on as the best in the class and the only one people think will actually be great in the NFL is B.J. Raji... but there's no way he falls to us.

Forum.Colts.Com's members are screaming and crying to draft Moreno with our first pick. I don't agree, but if Polian did it, I'd support it. I trust him.

 

[ThunderHorse]

Well,

I'm at a loss for words...

I don't like the pick, but I support Indianapolis, I believe in Bill Polian, and I only want the best for the kid...

LETS GO DONALD BROWN

 

[Gonzo]

I don't like this pick at all. Not. at. all.

 

[Gonzo]

bump.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I forgot about this thread.

I didn't like the Brown pick at first, but I am hoping it makes Addai work harder this year. He was just so "bleh" at running last year imo

 

[Gonzo]

Bump. We belong at the top.

 

[PEYMAN18]

Needs Moar Manning...

Any other Colts fans on here? Maybe want to talk about the draft? Our slot receiver issue? Defensive Problems? Or just players that are looking good in preseason

Let's get the chatter up a bit more!

Dallas plays a fantastic slot receiver. 2 Receivers plus Dallas in the slot with 2 capable-blocking backs sounds delish to me.

I'm psyched for this season.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

My friends have season tickets, with 2 extra season tickets that they buy just to hold on to them and they invited me to the home opener

I'll take pics with my handy portable phone

Color me jealous.

Meanwhile, I'll be at my crib, less than 2 miles away, drinking beer wishing I was there.

Found this funny article and feel like posting it here its from Stampede Blue:

The TOP 10 Things We Colts Fans Hate The Most


Number 10:

FAILS: Kenton Keith's hands, Gilbert Gardner's tackling, Jason David's covering, Nick Harper's return ability, etc.

This one is self-explanatory. Kenton Keith couldn't catch, as he showed us against the Charger's in 2007's divisional playoffs, even causing an interception...Gilbert Gardner was a FAIL the whole 2006 season and was one of the reasons we couldn't stop the run. Finally, Nick Harper's return ability...go near the sideline! There was nobody there! It was like Dungy's golder rule and you broke it! He was a very good corner and he still is...but that was a REAL FAIL... And these three players are the winners of the fail category.


Number 9:

"Payton" Manning

A Colts article is never a Colts article (not counting Stampede Blue ones) without someone commenting something like: "OH YEAH PAYTON MANNING SUCKS!" "PAYTON MANNING CAN'T DO THIS!"... IT'S PEYTON! With an "E"! And he doesn't suck BTW, he's better than Toad Brady and Drew Breeze. And don't bring Matt Ryans to the conversation, he has only played one year...


Number 8:

"This is the year the Colts take a step back..." "This is finally the year that the Colts don't go to the playoffs"... "This will be the year they don't win 12 games"...

It's getting old, and they say it every single year... It is not rated higher in my list because we have proved them wrong every year (knock on wood)... "They lost Edgerrin James", "We lost Cato June and Tarik Glenn", "Dwight Freeney is not going to be the same after foot surgery", "Peyton Manning's getting old", blablabla...Get over it, football analysts! It's not a controversial topic anymore!





Number 7:

The Tennessee Titans getting all of our former players

Nick Harper, Jake Scott, David Thornton, Ben Hartsock, Gilbert Gardner (that one you can keep him), COREY SIMON!, etc... Everytime we release a player or do not re-sign him, there's always a very good chance the Titans will sign him...At least those Marv rumors were apparently false.. I really hope so...





Number 6: Phillip Rivers

Why don't YOU complete the following sentence?
Phillip Rivers is a "____________" (yes, you can say a bad word!...ok, ok...it can be more than one word)





Number 5:

"Peyton Manning didn't win Super Bowl XLI, the Colts won because of their running game and inspired defense"

This worst thing is this one is actually true: Peyton Manning cannot do things by himself! Neither can Tom Brady, neither could Joe Montana or Johnny U. He did throw 5 picks in the first 2 playoff games, but I can assure you we couldn't have won with Jim Sorgi! Vinatieri scored all of our points against Baltimore, but Peyton was the one who drove the offense down to field goal range... And we are talking about going on the road, against NFL's best defense, and with a whole city hating you! I'm not even going to talk about the Patriots game, or the Colts winning 12 games that year despite the defense allowing 173 rushing yards per game. It's a team job, but we definitely needed (and still need) No. 18!


Number 4:

DT luck...

Names say it all: Corey Simon, Booger McFarland, Montae Reagor, Quinn Pitcock, Ed Johnson... Polian says: "Hey! Let's take a risk and SIGN a star DT!"..."Hey! Let's trade a second round pick for Anthony McFarland!" "Let's draft this Ohio State DT with our 3rd round pick!" "GOOD! Our starting DT just made 10 tackles against the Bears!" "Let's trade for Buffalo's former 1st round pick!"...Yeah, it's been bad...At least we are looking good on that position this year(knock on wood, again)...Stay out of trouble, Big Ed!


Number 3:

Mike Vander[insert-your-favorite-one-here]

NFL's most accurate kicker, EVER! Yeah... If you could have just made that 46 yarder...Was it that hard for NFL's superheroic player? Was it because you were tired after playing O-line and MLB the whole game? Were you tired after stripping Jerome Bettis and running it downfield? Or were you just angry because you were better than Peyton and you deserved to be the starting QB? Don't worry Mikey, we all know you deserve it...And Polian's an idiot for cutting you...


Number 2:

"Tom Brady is better than Peyton Manning because...."

"...he has more rings", "...he can win big games" (yeah, the "big game talk" is included here), "...he is married to a supermodel", "...he was a 6th round pick and fought all the way up", "...he doesn't have pedigree", "he's 'hot'"...I'm not getting deep into this because it would unveil the typical Manning vs. Brady talk, but it had to be included in this post because we ALL think Peyton Manning is a better QB than Tom Brady...And we don't see SB rings as a way to measure abilty...and we think Peyton CAN win big games....and your wife doesn't determine how good you are...and it isn't our fault that Tom Brady sucked in college....and it isn't Peyton's fault that his father and brother played/play in the NFL too... So, in conclusion, this annoys us all, and that's why it is number two...


Finally,
Number 1:

Injuries

We can talk about Tom Brady vs Manning as long as you want, or about Mike Vanderjagt, or whatever...but let's face it: injuries are what we hate the most! 2006: Corey Simon, Montae Reagor, Bob Sanders...2007: Dwight Freeney, Booger McFarland, Marvin Harrison, the rest of the D-line...2008: Bob Sanders, Ryan Lilja, Marlin Jackson, Gary Brackett, Joseph Addai, even Peyton Manning gave us a hard time last year! Injuries are usually one of our excuses when we talk about why we didn't win a Super Bowl, and of course they are a HUGE factor...That's why we hate them! And the toughest thing is when it's Saturday or early Sunday and the other teams are reporting ONE injury, and we have like 6 starters questionable for the game, other 5 banged up, plus the other 3 we already have on IR.That's the way it's been for a long time...

Nice Article

One or two of them don't bother me too much though .

We have slot receiver problems? Collie and Gonzo can both play slot and Dallas lines up there alot also .

I am a little worried about Left Tackle . Ugoh is very meh and Charlie Johnson is average at best .

As for the Brown pick , I hated it but can understand it . Addai has a history of injuries especially when he is asked to carry the load by himself . Brown is used to a shitload of carries (so him getting hurt shouldn't be an issue) thus easing the pressure off Addai and let him get back to the form he showed in year one and two .

I wonder who is getting the cut at runningback .

Addai and Brown are obviously safe . Then it seems like they want to keep Simpson around for Special Teams (don't really understand that alot) . So where does that leave Hart and Ball? I would imagine one of them is going to be cut . Or are we keeping all 5 on board?

 

[Gonzo]

I hope we keep Hart. I'm SUPER HIGH on Mike. He's an absolute beast. I can't remember who else liked him, I think it was User, but he's beastly.

I hated the Brown pick also, mainly because I wanted a Harvin-type or Nicks-type to spread the field more [and because I was and am a huge believer in Mike Hart].

 

[Esjay]

I like Mike Hart a lot also .. hope they keep him around.

That was a nice article btw. Most of things make my blood boil for sure.

 

[PEYMAN18]

On the Colts Depth Chart Hart is on the 3rd line behind Addai and Brown so he has a very good chance of staying on the roster unless Simpson or Ball step up big next game, Im thinking it will most likely be Ball getting cut.

 

[Gonzo]

Last preseason game tonight.

I know. Pointless.

AKA Free bump.
