I wrote earlier about the Indianapolis Colts defense bending, but not breaking. The defense just about broke the entire team Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. While the Colts did escape with a win and a pair of interceptions, they showed a lot of immaturity. The defensive backfield let up some major plays and the linebackers were totally unprepared [...]
The Indianapolis Colts wrapped up their first regular season game today with a narrow win. While the defense had some real struggles the offense should’ve done far better. It wasn’t quarterback Andrew Lucks fault or the fact that the running backs weren’t running hard. All of the offensive struggles can be pegged on the offensive line. Andrew Luck was [...]
As the Indianapolis Colts‘ first regular season game unfolded, one thing was apparent: they might not be running their old Tampa 2, but they are still playing their old bend-but-not-break defense. The old Colts’ defense, under Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy, was all about keeping everything in front and not giving up the big plays. [...]
Andrew Luck had a great rookie season. But so did Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson. You can also throw in Colin Kaepernick even though it was his second season because it was his first season playing. However, there is one thing different about all of these young quarterbacks: Andrew Luck is the only one who will do [...]
There are a lot of things that can happen in any given game. I’m about to give you some of the boldest and most likely predictions I can. Through extensive study I have developed these best-guesses or likely scenarios. The first prediction for the Indianapolis Colts and Oakland Raiders‘ game has to do with Andrew Luck, who [...]
The Indianapolis Colts were kings who sat atop their throne in the kingdom of the AFC South for many years. When quarterback Peyton Manning was out for the entire 2011 season, they went 2-14 and weren’t within a whisper of winning the division for the first time in more than 10 years. The Houston Texans, who [...]
Quarterback: Andrew Luck is going to start at the QB position come the Indianapolis Colts first game against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders’ defensive backfield is weak so Luck should be able to shred them for over 400 yards, at least. Halfback: Reports are that Ahmad Bradshaw is healthy again. If he is really in [...]
The Indianapolis Colts have many players that will be free agents by the end of this season. They can cut ties with many, and resign the ones that they really need. The salary cap is $123 million this season, and shouldn’t change much, if at all, for 2014. So all figures I use are under [...]
The Indianapolis Colts front office has done a great job of managing their contracts correctly. However, there are a few that need to be dumped. Nothing is necessarily pressing or hurting the team in a bad way, but the team can always improve and dump bad contacts. The first bad contract they need to dump [...]
The gray is now present on the hair around his ears. When he made his first Super Bowl-winning kick, it was all a slick black. As the gray progresses to a total takeover of his hair, Indianapolis Colts fans are beginning to wonder just how much longer Adam Vinatieri can keep kicking. Vinatieri is slowing down. That [...]
