It's also worth considering that Mewelde Moore looks to be the 2-minute/no-huddle offense back. This amounts to only one possession in the first half, but could ruin Brown's garbage time value if the Colts are consistently running the 2-minute offense to try to catch up in the 2nd half.

For what it's worth, the Manning I saw in that first preseason game seemed to have significantly decreased arm strength, relative to the guy we saw with the Colts. This could be due to sample size, rustiness, weather, timing, or just my untrained eye, so I'll defer to Cecil who has seen quite a...

I like the idea, and think it's worth considering. First of all, the surprise punt has been employed occasionally when a team is ahead and doesn't want to risk a blocked or returned punt, so they have the QB punt it. Also, it has historically been used when backed up against your own goal line...

Still one spot available.

I'm interested in taking over this team. Feel free to PM with questions or just let me know how to join.

$35 league with max 15 keepers, plus rookie draft picks. Ultimate roster will have 22 once kickers, defenses, etc are drafted. League is PPR, no IDP, starts QB, RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 RB/WR/TE flex spots. Rules found at link below: http://football13.myfantasyleague.com/2012/options?L=34421&O=26...

Hard to know what the plan is in Indy, other than that it's a total rebuild. My guess is that Grigson/Pagano go with the traditional inside-out method and build up the defense and run game first, then add WR's. I think it will be ugly at WR this year. Collie and a couple of bargain vets (e.g...

I'll be rooting for Garcon to pull it all together, but that seems like an insane amount of money to spend on him. I'm glad the Colts resisted the urge break the bank for him.

I don't think we're getting much reliable information. I think there's a lot left to this story, and I'd lay even money that we see him on the field for an NFL team again, but I cringe with every negative report. The only thing I had seen on nerve regeneration was that it was notoriously...

It seems like there's a push to balance out the skill position guys with more linemen and defenders. Edgerrin James will be an interesting test case for the position. Compiled really nice stats, 11th all-time rusher, 13th all-time yds from scrimmage, rookie of the year, 4 pro bowls, but no...

This is one in a long line of indications that the Colts are rebuilding and moving on from all-timers like Manning, Saturday, Wayne, and Mathis. I disagree with those that say the rebuilding process will be a long one. If Luck is anywhere near as good as advertised, Pagano might be able to plug...

I don't hate this hire. Any guy who can make Tom Brady look mediocre is ok with me. Should be a nice upgrade over Caldwell anyway. Mathis is a free agent, so I think his odds of sticking around decrease with this hire. I thought I saw Pagano mix in a good amount of 4-3 this year, so the Colts...

If I want to get a general reference point for the player's performance, I'll use the whole season for WDIS. It's good to have as much data as possible for averages. However, I find that I rarely put much weight on the average because I'm thinking more about the ways that specific players' roles...

Your point is well taken if you highly value your team's ability to avoid being the worst team in the NFL. However, I'll argue that the Colts are a prime example of the value of *not* having a viable backup QB. A viable backup might have been able to guide this team to a 6-10 record...
