One of the things that we'll be doing throughout the summer is reviewing the 2011 Colts' high and low points by going through big plays throughout the season.
The first section is bittersweet: defensive interceptions. Positive: they are good plays for the Colts, turnovers caused by the defense. Negative: they didn't happen much in 2011, the Colts only had eight interceptions, tying with Minnesota for least in the league (another fun fact: Colts had the least passes defended with 55).
Nevertheless, we will celebrate what we can.
Week One: 1-10-IND 39 (14:12 1st Quarter) M.Schaub pass short right intended for A.Johnson INTERCEPTED by M.Bullitt at IND 25. M.Bullitt to IND40 for 15 yards (K.Walter).
The Texans ran two straight play action rollouts for Schaub to start the game, both resulting in a wide open Andre Johnson. The first one went for 21 yards, but the second one resulted in an overthrow by Schaub, and Melvin Bullitt made a great play to grab the tipped ball....

According to the Indianapolis Star, Donnie Avery has been “one of the bright spots” for the Colts in practice this offseason. The Colts took a flier on Avery, who was solid in 2008 and 2009 for the Rams before essentially missing the last 2 seasons with injuries. The Colts have a very thin receiving corps, with Reggie Wayne, who is heading towards that age where wide receivers...

Paul Kuharsky writes today that this new era might also be a bit more fun for veterans:
Veteran safety Antoine Bethea characterized things as looser -- which I take as a telling word. Manning and Bill Polian weren’t especially big on looseness. It was a disciplined, serious atmosphere, and that was typically effective for the franchise. Last year as things crumbled with Manning...

When Peyton Manning entered the league he had Marvin Harrison on which to rely and not much else. In many ways, Andrew Luck's first year will be much more target-rich. He's taking notice early by getting on the same page as Austin Collie and Reggie Wayne:
