Colts QB Andrew Luck, No-Huddle Offense Being Held Back Due To Holes At O-Line, WR

Found September 22, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Andrew Luck
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
After seeing how natural Andrew Luck looked and what great success he had running the no-huddle during the Colts’ final drive in Week Two (it was Luck’s first fourth-quarter game-winning drive), it is only natural to ask why the Colts wouldn’t use the two-minute offense more frequently. The answer directly relates to what the coaching staff identified in the offseason as one of its biggest challenges: trying not to confuse their young players by moving at the uniquely advanced pace of Luck. Luck is clearly ready, but an offensive line in flux because of injuries and a lack of continuity and a young WR corps simply are not.

Collie a game time call

Via The Colts Authority  |  September 21, 2012
Austin Collie feels great but will be a game-time decision according to Phil Richards of the Indianapolis Star: Collie was cleared to practice last week and on Monday did so but when concussion-related symptoms returned at mid-week, he was shut down again until this week, when he was a full practice participant Wednesday through today. Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Collie will...

Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars

Via The Sports Bank  |  September 23, 2012
Andrew Luck was billed as the most NFL-ready quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning — some even said John Elway. It seems fitting, then, that the 23-year-old rookie was drafted first overall by the Indianapolis Colts, the franchise that drafted both Manning and Elway (the latter forced a trade from the franchise when it was in Baltimore) with the top pick. While the expectations...

Via AP on Fox  |  September 23, 2012
Colts receiver Austin Collie has left the Jacksonville game with what a right knee injury early in the third quarter.

The crowd gasped when Collie stayed on the ground. The Brigham Young alum has had at...

Fantasy football week three two point conversion

Via 60 Max Power O  |  September 22, 2012
Every year in the NFL one or two so-called journeymen seem to find their way into the spotlight. A couple of years ago it was Brandon Lloyd. Last year Laurent Robinson had the honor. These are the kinds of guys that have struggled through some sort of adversity, whether it be an injury or just not living up to expectations. This week we will look at two such players that can help...

Colts’ Austin Collie listed as probable, Dwight Freeney won’t play

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  September 22, 2012
Austin Collie suffered a concussion this preseason, his 4th in the last 21 months, but it was a minor one and it looked like he would be back for week 1. He practiced before week 1, but was not cleared and the same thing happened week 2. It’s very likely he just did not get clearance from a doctor. This week, he went through the same routine at the beginning of the week, but it...

Juan Eye On Donnie Avery

Via Juan Elway  |  September 23, 2012
I do the Insanity workout Juan… Donnie Avery was on the scrap heap of NFL WRs and fantasy WRs not that long ago. Through 2 weeks he has been a favorite target of rookie QB Andrew Luck. He now has 12/148/1 in the first two weeks and has the look of a legit WR3 for fantasy. My issue with Avery is his propensity to get injured and be an inconsistent fantasy player. I’m interested...

Via Fantasy Football Champs  |  September 23, 2012
Adam Schefter reports Colts wideout Austin Collie will be active for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. Collie missed the first two games of the year because of a concussion.Fantasy Spin:Collie has never recorded more than 676 receiving yards in a season so we're not overly excited about his fantasy potential.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts: Week 3 NFL Pick

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  September 20, 2012
Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) at Minnesota Vikings (1-1) Before the season, I identified 5 overrated and 5 underrated teams, with the idea of betting on them (or against them) until they proved me wrong or the odds makers caught up. This served me well as I’m 10-4 this year on games involving those 10 teams (and one of those losses is because I abandoned shipped on the Bills after...
