Nobody mentioned the new kickoff rules....I personally do not like it, I understand why they are doing it, but these kinds of changes lead only to more of the same down the road. I am afraid we won't recognize the game in 20 years if fear of injuries becomes the main focus! Maybe flag football is the future of the sport!:(

The main thing I noticed out of AR last year was he throws high, a lot. I didn't love seeing that almost immediately yesterday. First game back though, so I'm hoping we get another chance to see him work some of that shit out before Houston.

I thought the defense looked like what we should expect. I gotta hope the stuff with Davis is petty and not something more sinister. Lord knows we cannot trust the organization to tell us the truth if the guy is fucked up can't play.

Latu had those lineman working. I was pleased to see they pulled his ass when Denver started trying to double him. It's a little aggravating to see Denver doing that to him at this point in the season but I guess that's also encouraging.

I gotta give it to MAC. I've been trying to shout from a soapbox for years that we need to get better there but nobody seems to want it. Granson contributes but can't take his job, and it seems like AR has a pretty good feel for him (MAC).

I agree, but I would add the following to the statement:

I don't care which QB they keep just as long as whoever it is doesn't occupy a spot on the 53 man roster. There are better uses of that roster spot.


I would hope that with the tweak to the Emergency 3rd QB rule earlier this year (that the 3rd QB can be elevated from the practice squad) that it would be a given that the Colts will only carry 2 QB's on the 53 man roster. But I think there are several people within the organization that really like Sam so I still have a little doubt if that will happen or not.

Anybody have any idea why Carlies and Brents didn't play yesterday?

I believe I read that Buckner and Brents were non-injury, rest for the final practice. I imagine they just continued resting.

Carlies has missed a bunch of practices. Hip, I think?

The team said that Brents was dealing with a "sore shoulder" and they decided to give him a day off for rest as a precautionary move.

Supposedly he would have played if it had been a regular season game.

Baldy likes what he sees from Latu:

Did anyone notice that UDFA Dalton Tucker was the #2 RG and got the majority of snaps? I also thought that he played pretty well.

took me forever to find out who that dude was

he played well I thought
