Five plays from the Falcons game

PLAYERS: Joe Lefeged,  Kevin Thomas,  Melvin Bullitt
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
I think highly of Ben Savage at Coltzilla who somehow stomachs film review after each week's loss.  The most painful play he breaks down is Joe Lefeged vs. Julio Jones.  Really?  In all fairness, Jones picks apart the scheme by playing the soft spot between Bethea and Kevin Thomas.  Still, counting on Lefeged at strong safety to make this tackle shows just how badly the Colts needed Melvin Bullitt: My rationale for not blaming Lefeged is this – I don’t consider it reasonable to expect him to make this tackle in the open field against a physical specimen like Jones. If he has help closer to the play, then my opinion changes – but there aren’t many safeties that can make this open field tackle in the NFL. Much as Bowe did earlier in the year, Jones plants on his right foot to hook Lefeged before breaking left, which leaves Joe flat-footed.

The Colts suck, but will they get Luck?

Via The Penalty Flag  |  November 11, 2011
It’s not brain surgery. The Indianapolis Colts are 0-9 and there really doesn’t look like they have much fight left in them. And college football’s most desirable player just happens to be a guy who could very well turn the team’s fortunes around. Stanford’s Andrew Luck is a complete quarterback, the kind of player you could build a dynasty around. The kind of quarterback...

Phil B goes off the deep end too

Philip B. Wilson is my favorite beat writer.  I love his style and he's often got his finger on the pulse of fans everywhere.Today he's joined the ranks of Star writers who have leapt off the deep end.  He's dead wrong on this claim: The most recent eyebrow raise has been about RB Delone Carter. The rookie has been one of the few bright spots, yet the Colts gave him...

In news that should surprise no one, the Patriots-Colts matchup in Week 13 has been flexed out of prime time. One of the great rivalries of the last decade lost all of its luster when Colts quarterback Peyton Manning underwent neck surgery that put his entire 2011 season in jeopardy. The Colts have an 0-9 record and haven't been competitive for a month. They were destroyed 62...

'Name that Chapter' Contest!

It's contest time! Last year, my book about the history of the Indianapolis Colts came out. Blue Blood: Tales of Glory of the Indianapolis Colts chronicles the history of the team since moving to Indianapolis. One of the hardest parts of writing a book is coming up with chapter titles that are pithy, informative, and not too cliche. Someday, in five or ten years, I might update...

Looks like at least Eldridge isn't coming back soon as Hill is a blocking end: The Colts moved to bolster the position Monday by signing Anthony Hill (6-6, 277) from the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad. Hill was a 2009 fourth-round draft pick of the Houston Texans. He appeared in five games with the Texans, all as a rookie.
