Q and A with the colts

Kelvin Hayden was back from a knee injury that cost him a few weeks, but played limited snaps. He looked fine so he’ll probably be back in the starting lineup now that he’ll have had 2 weeks of practice and a game to get back up to speed.

But Jerruad Powers and Jacob Lacey have been great. CBs don’t put up the stats for it, but he should be a DROY candidate. He’s been starting since week 1 and has spent extended periods as the teams top corner on a elite pass D. Lacey has been a solid #2, great nickelback as an undrafted rookie. Obviously both have been somewhat protected by the help they get deep in a Tampa-2, but the Colts mix it up more under the new DC and left the CBs on their own sometimes where they’ve held up just fine.

So some scheme, along with great scouting and coaching.

id say i think it will hold up great. take a look at what we have done since that miami game. we have done good on run D and even last week we allowed CJ to get his 100 yards but didn’t let him get any big gains. so were able to render him less effective the biggest gain he had was one for 11 yards. so i feel pretty good about that.

i dont know your defense very well but know you did have very good corners but are they still shut down?? id say we will take advantage up the middle with clark and id say that i see us getting a few plays over the top for 20+ with one of our three threats there collie, wayne, or garcon who is really becoming a consistent threat.

on O I think the issue is covering all the weapons. I don’t think there’s a D out there that can cover Wayne, Clark, Addai, Garçon and Collie while getting any pressure on Peyton.

Clark is a matchup nightmare. Wayne demands a double team, Garçon is deep threat on the other side, Collie and Addai are sure handed and find holes in the coverage very well in the short passing game and the WRs block well opening up big lanes if teams just put DBs on everyone.

STs have been the best I’ve ever seen from Indy. The coverage teams especially. I don’t cringe on kickoffs and punts anymore.

The Broncos are a good team, they certainly could win, but the Colts will be favored for a reason.

those weren’t as close as the final.

no good at lymerics

our D will fiest
and offense a beast
manning will stay pure
and bruse your rear

:) was that any good?? i dont expect to see many sacks if any our O line hasn’t been allowing many at all

It’s been mostly about the Titans game, but my guess is after two straight divisional games, the media folks will kind of overlook you guys even if you are 8-4. The lack of hate for you guys from the Colts will make it more calm.

to start talking about the Broncos. They’re still writing stories about the Titans game and the 21 game winning streak.

But if I had to take a guess, I would have to assume that the local media expects it to be another Peyton Manning butt kicking. I can’t be sure of that though.

The left tackle Charlie Johnson has an injured foot
And when the pass rush comes Tony Ugoh has trouble staying put
But with Joseph Addai there blocking
When Elvis comes a-knockin’
Manning can get off the pass before getting covered in soot.

And I refuse to prepare myself. I’ll just enjoy it right now and face the disappointment later this month.

1. No clue. BBS has weird schedules at times with his posts, and he also tends to prefer other people commenting over him. Go figure.

2. Nope. I prepared myself for possible losses pregame only 2 times this season (@ Arizona and @ Houston). I will not do so again unless we rest our starters at some time. I would rather sit back and enjoy this basically once-in-a-lifetime experience.

And I don’t think he would be an improvement over Pierre, but I think he is better than Collie. He will help when he gets back, but that won’t be in a while.

I think he’ll be a big addition to the offense. Garçon has earned a spot in the starting lineup, but Collie, Santi and Gijon haven’t really laid claim to the last starting spot, so Gonzo will take it when he gets back.

I’m expecting Garçon and Gonzalez on the outside with Reggie in the slot (they did that a lot last year to accommodate Gonzo and Marvin both being better on the outside than in the slot).

they refused to show their alignment until under 10 seconds were on the clock and just had the front 7 milling around until the last 10 seconds. They picked up that Peyton had been waiting until the clock was run down to actually snap the ball and took advantage. In the very next game the Colts ran a near 2 minute drill paced O off of the opening kickoff to make sure no one would try that on them again.

to get a feel for whether the undefeated run is upping the pressure even more than it would already be.
