On Sunday, when the Colts host the Jacksonville Jaguars, they will also host one of the greatest players in their franchise's history as former running back Edgerrin James will return for his induction into the Colts' Ring of Honor. The last time James was in Lucas Oil Stadium for a Colts game, they won 30-17 over the New York Jets to win their second AFC title, with James presenting the championship trophy.
James was essential to the success of the Colts in the first part of the decade - so much so that owner Jim Irsay gave him a super bowl ring after the Colts won in 2006, even though James wasn't on the team any more.
In his career, Edgerrin James rushed for 12,246 yards and 80 touchdowns while averaging 4.0 yards per carry. During his seven seasons in Indy, he gained 9,226 yards and scored 64 of those TDs, averaging 4.2 yards per attempt.

Fantasy football week three two point conversion
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
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
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...

Colts QB Andrew Luck, No-Huddle Offense Being Held Back Due To Holes At O-Line, WR
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 Lucks first fourth-quarter game-winning drive), it is only natural to ask why the Colts wouldnt use the two-minute offense more frequently. The answer directly relates to what the coaching staff identified in the offseason as one of...
Hype and Expectations for young Colts team entering key week 3 match-up
2012 has been quite the roller coaster of hype and expectations for the Indianapolis Colts. Following an off-season that saw a great number of their most prominent veteran players released and a free agency period in which the Colts remained relatively quiet, many analysts had pegged the Colts as one of the worst teams in the league, and a strong candidate to draft #1 overall in...
Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars
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...
Colts Look to Keep Momentum Rolling Against the Jaguars
The Indianapolis Colts have started the season 1-1 against the NFC North, but they will now start playing the meaningful division games, and that starts this weekend with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Blaine Gabbert looked good against the Vikings in week one, but took a huge step backwards in week two against the Texans top ranked defense. This is only his second season, but he has...
