Building the Monster Pt 3. 2014 Indy Colts thread.

[Based Lord Zedd]

First of all to all Colts fans on the board.

The rest of you I hope you ready for a lot of:

*There are no highlights of defense or run game because we still building those. We can pass like a mfer tho.

Will keep this thread active as year goes on and we get closes to first preseason game.

Colts probably win 8-12 games, likely playoff spot. Year will be large measuring stick for Luck,Coach Pagano,GM Grigson, defense.

Also somehow Colts got owners driving high, players suspended for drugs...and we always stay under the radar. Small markets

• Colts picked up two OL good to get more depth. It got so bad apparently they had a DE or something playing OL half the game. OL gonna be a mess this year.
• Colts probably starting this season 0-2. Defense is missing it's pass rush, and they are an old, injury prone avg unit. Offense has too many new parts and returning players to deal with those two offenses. I hope I'm wrong. Should still be able to recover later and win. Prob take AFC South.

This a huge prove it year for Grigson, Pep Hamilton and Pagano. This shyt is actually embarrassing, they all roll into town with big promises about making the run game a priority with a power rushing attack, and playing tough defense. All they did was inherit a No. 1 pick, make an obvious choice then do their best to recreate the Peyton Manning Colts. We have the same trash OL, avg rb and avg defense combination that doomed the Colts towards the end. Last year he played was best example. We have the same yearly injury problems we always have had. Colts have some of the worst injury luck in the league. And just like with Manning's Colts we expect the QB to use all his weapons to constantly bail us out or outscore the opponent. Even if we win they need to do a better job doing what they said they were going to do.

Grigson is a former OL and is supposed to be a talent evaluator. OL can't suck this year. You've had time to draft and sign guys who you believed fit what you want to do. Time to see at least something to build on.
Pep Hamilton wanna bring this power run to Indy. Need something out of this RB group, don't care who it comes from.
Pagano supposed to be a defensive mastermind. Defense looked good and bad in preseason. Run D was bottom 10 last year and we got worked in the playoffs by Blount. You said you wanted to run and stop the run...we can't do either

Mathis out for the year. How you get injured in non contact drills while you already suspended. Colts got the worst injury luck possible wooooow.

Mathis out for the year, Cam Johnson out for the year. Colts signed a random out of FA. We have no pass rush and the secondary is ok. But too many injury concerns and no safety depth. This will end up being Colts downfall probably. Werner absolutely has to show something.

Colts have to stop starting off slow. Indy plays best when it's back is against the wall cause then the game plan goes out the window and it's just Luck and co trying to make plays. We have a defensive coach who has an old school run and stop the run mentality. But we don't have a D or a run game we can rely on. We have the early 2000 Colts reloaded (with exact same set up problem areas) but we trying to be the early 2000 Ravens.

I like it on some levels because I don't want Indy to build another star studded offensive team that can't play defense. But they have to actually go out and get the personnel to make this happen. So far most of the draft picks and FA signings on that side of the ball have been

It's a good problem to have. Colts are a rebuilding team that is ahead of schedule, they are still building their identity. They are young on offense and Pagano still trying to build his defense I guess. They've shown flashes of greatness so I know the potential is there, Pagano supposed to be a good motivator he gonna need to get it out of them consistently.



Dwayne Allen spazzing

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

Colts thought it was a good idea to start an UDFA at center for no reason at all. UDFA messes up at least three plays.

Colts looked like trash on offense yesterday, Ravens #1 redzone D I guess but whatever.

Colts success has been cause they've been abusing the fukk out of play action and Pagano/Manusky grew balls on defense.

Dwayne Allen still a monster.

Indy gotta beat Texans, if they can go 3-1 across next 4 games and get to 6-3 we'll be good. Hopefully pull out 11 wins or so.
