I'm pretty surprised that the experts combine ranking (that's usually very accurate) doesn't show any sign of the said experts to be very excited about Keiaho. Actually it appears he's slipping (getting ranked lower for every update)...

Can anyone shed a light on this?
I've heard nothing but good news so far.

Yeah I agree about that DonFue. I've already put enough faith in my instincts to pick up Keiaho just about everywhere.
So now I'm just playing the part of a nervous wreck before season starts... 
Still it's an interesting question? Since the upside of Keiaho isn't exactly a state secret?

Cato June has never finished in the top ten by FBG scoring. Three of us have Keiaho between 21-24. Three others have him between 41-51. If I were convinced Keiaho was a definite big play guy, he'd be higher in the LB2 tier. The LBs in Indy don't blitz and it appears that their stat folks are stingier with the PDs than others. Plenty of guys finish with 85-90 solos, it's the big play potential that sets them apart.
Excellent point!

If anything, I think Keiaho will make the big plays, but perhaps at the cost if playing outside the scheme... a free lancer type. That is my biggest concern with him.... getting benched because he might gamble too much. As an athltete, I think he has more tools than June did. That is what I worry about.... that he will try to do too much outside the scheme and becomre a defensive coaches' nightmare. If he plays with a degree of control, I think he could be very close to top ten, if not a top ten LB.

Your point about freelanching is well taken Rovers.
However in the Dungy cover 2 the WLB is freed up in the scheme for this exact purpose. To be able to freelance and make plays.
About the only time this is not the case is when teams flood the weak side with multiple recieving targets.

he ended up having a good game, but to tell you the truth, i didnt see him in the game alot in passing situations. nickel and dime packages. yeah he had the interception... but even madden said that was one thing the colts were worried about. i guess he meant keiaho's coverage skills. i also saw him charging the line of scrimage and taking on blocks to free up the safeties to come and make the tackle. as a keiaho owner, im thrilled he had a good game fantasy wise, but i'm a little hesitant to think he will be consistant because of what i said above. maybe after tonight the coaching staff will start letting him play more in nickel and dime though i dont know.

The pick has to help their thoughts on his coverage skills - at least he can catch it, unlike the LB's you see have the doink off htem.
I didn't start him, and was very happy to see him play this well. Between Keiaho/Poz/McIntosh my young LB's fel solid. I can't wait to check out the game on DVR.

Colts WLB Freddie Keiaho suffered an arm injury on Thursday night.
The severity of the injury is unknown, but he intends to keep playing no matter what. Keiaho finished the win with six tackles, one pick, and a pass breakup.
oh no...................
couldn't have been that bad, right

Yikes, I'll be anxiously watching this board for updates. That makes sense now, it seems like Keiaho was missing during most of the 4th qtr.
djcolts

According to GM Bill Polian, Keiaho had an elbow injury in the 1st quarter, and played through it.

I don't know if it had to do with the injury or not, but the Colts were in a dime defense (1 LB, 6 DBs) for most of the 4th quarter, as opposed to a nickel defense (2 LBs, 5 DBs). I think the LB in the dime is Brackett, and the LBs in the nickel are Brackett and Keiaho. So I think we can expect Keiaho on the bench if teams go 4 and 5 wide on the Colts.
Tenacious

Good point. And that will probably continue to be a trend in the early part of the Colt's soft schedule.

i think he got hurt when reggie juked him in the 1QT and freddy just stuck his arm out to try to bring him down and reggie knee/thigh knocked his arm back(possibly hyperextension). i can remember him coming out shortly after-but he wasn't squirming in pain or anything

Colts starting WLB Freddie Keiaho (dislocated right elbow) missed another practice on Wednesday.
Head coach Tony Dungy indicated Keiaho could practice on Thursday. His status will likely be made close to game time with Tyjuan Hagler, primarily a special teams contributor, in line to make his first NFL start. OL Charlie Johnson (knee) and CB Tim Jennings (knee) also missed Wednesday's practice.
Can someone actually play NFL football the next week after dislocating their elbow???

My guess is that this was only a subluxation (partial dislocation). Reduction of a complete dislocation is difficult and painful and Keiaho wouldn't have returned to the game. Subluxations don't involve broken bones or significant ligament damage (usually) so returning to play becomes an issue of pain tolerance, strength and range of motion.Keiaho will have a heavy brace to prevent hyperextensions if he plays. He'll probably have trouble disengaging from blocks and reaching to tackle with that side of his body if he plays.

I just read hes doubtful for sunday

FBG's needs to update their cheatsheets because he's still rated around the 18th best LB for this week.
Anthony Borbely

The cheatsheets get updated again on Saturday.

Seems official at this point.
Indianapolis Star
Tyjuan Hagler is in line to make his first NFL start after the Colts all but ruled starting weak-side linebacker Freddy Keiaho out of Sunday's game with the Tennessee Titans.
Keiaho dislocated his right elbow while making his first career start Sept. 6 against New Orleans, and did not practice all week.
"My sense is we'll probably hold him out,'' coach Tony Dungy said after Friday's practice. "He could play, but I think wisdom would probably be . . . to hold him out and see if we can get him well.''

With Hagler playing a decent game should Keiaho owners be worried he could lose his job to Hagler and grab Hagler up?
Anthony Borbely
Footballguy
Keiaho is the unquestioned starter when healthy.
djcolts
Footballguy
Keaiho > Hagler - it is obvious when watching both of them play.
Jene Bramel
Footballguy
Dungy said the usual. All about pain tolerance. He'll be braced up, but there's no way to know how much he'll favor that arm when he reaches away from his body until gameday. He looked solid enough, some favoring but no alligator arm business, after the injury on Monday night.

Was this truly a dislocated elbow or was it simply a bad hyperextension, or other?
I ask only because I can't fathom how the guy could play ball 2 weeks after dislocating his elbow. Actually I can't fathom how he could even stay in the game after doing so, which leads me to believe he didn't dislocate his elbow. However that was the injury report I had heard. FWIW the same injury landed Will Demps on IR 3 weeks ago.

demps injury wasn't that bad, he was put on IR as a way for the giants to come to a injury settlement with him and cut him-his injury wasn't such that it would keep him out all year. he's already playing for the texans.
i was surprised freddy missed last week, as he kept playing with the injury and had his INT after the injury. i think it was more the colts wanting him to sit and he try to get healthier for the long haul.

I thought very much the same thing (see post 35). Then again, I was apparently witness to a HS football player who returned to play 2 weeks after a hip dislocation last night...
. I suppose it's possible that a simple dislocation without any major bony or ligament injury could return within a week -- I'm still with you on the game night deal, though. Would take a hell of a lot of adrenaline to get a guy back on the field within minutes of a elbow dislocation.
