Hughes and Brown showing off

Found August 18, 2012 on The Colts Authority: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Donald Brown,  Jerry Hughes,  Dwight Freeney
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
Nate Dunlevy takes a look back at training camp, notes marked improvements including from both Donald Brown and the formerly invisible Jerry Hughes: Hughes is a completely different story. To say he's been terrible since joining the Colts would be inaccurate only because he's been too invisible to be terrible. He's done next to nothing for Indianapolis since being taken in the first round of the 2010 draft. Now, with his career hanging in the balance, Hughes came up large, at least for a week. It will take more than a couple of preseason sacks to redeem himself, but the Colts had to like what they saw last week. With a $14 million salary due to Dwight Freeney about to become guaranteed, a strong preseason from Hughes could convince the Colts to move their All-Pro end. While it's possible Hughes was just miscast as an NFL end and will find new life as a linebacker, the entire situation is difficult to believe. Brown's issues were obvious. He was hurt. Players ...

Pagano: Colts have solid foundation

Via The Colts Authority  |  August 18, 2012
Coach Chuck Pagano broke the 2012 Colts camp with a solid feeling according to Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star: Said Pagano: “It was a great way to end. We’ve got a foundation that was built on rock, not sand.” Those are heady words for a rookie head coach with a rookie QB rebuilding a team that went 2-14 last year. If true then owner Jim Irsay's gamble will have...

NFL Preseason Week 1 review

Via Shatter The Backboard  |  August 17, 2012
It may only be the preseason, but there were still storylines galore from the first week of football. How can we begin any review without talking about the number one pick in this past summer’s draft? Andrew Luck was spectacular in his Indianapolis debut, throwing for 188 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout victory [...]

Austin Collie out with concussion like symptoms

Via Kramerica Sports  |  August 19, 2012
The Indianapolis Colts were dealt some bad news on Sunday night, as wide receiver Austin Collie left with what is being called concussion like symptoms. Collie suffered three concussions in 2010 and was limited to just nine games. Four concussions in the last three years could be a serious issue for the former BYU star. This is unfortunate news for Collie owners, as he has looked...

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  August 17, 2012
The Colts wrapped up training camp at Anderson University on Friday and traveled back to Indianapolis to prepare for Sunday's preseason game against Pittsburgh.

Preseason Week 2: Colts 24 at Steelers 26 Post Game Summary

Via The Colts Authority  |  August 19, 2012
The Colts traveled to Pittsburgh Sunday night to take on the Steelers in the second preseason game of the year. Before we dissect the performance of Andrew Luck or discuss which players stood out, we need to start with a much more somber topic. Austin Collie left the game in the first quarter due to concussion like symptoms. The head injury came on a hit that should never have happened...

Andrew Luck drawing sells for $1,500 on eBay

Via Helmet2Helmet  |  August 19, 2012
His quarterback prowess aside, we’ve learned two things about Andrew Luck — he can’t sing and can’t draw. Exhibit A: The “art” displayed to your right, which, sadly, is the monetary equivalent of a mortgage payment. Long story short, a collectables company in May presented Luck and several other rookies with an index card and asked them to sketch whatever their hearts...

Colts' Luck faces difficult encore at Steelers

Via Fox Sports  |  August 18, 2012
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck needed just one game to make Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin a believer. Tomlin says the top pick in April's NFL draft played like a veteran in a 38-3 win over St. Louis in last week's preseason opener. Luck completed 10 of 16 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, looking very much like the franchise player the Colts were...

AP According to NFL.com an eBay shopper bought a drawing that Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck put together for $1,500. "In May, a collectibles company presented index cards to a group of high-profile NFL rookies and asked them to draw whatever they liked.

Wayne revival

Via Kramerica Sports  |  August 19, 2012
Reggie Wayne is coming off of his worst season (75 catches for 960 yards) since the 2003-2004 season, and his average draft position reflects pessimism in his ability to bounce back. But why? He moves from an unsettled QB situation to a potential franchise signal caller in Andrew Luck, making a repeat of his 2012 stat line the worst case scenario. That stat line is is just shy of...

Colts DE Cory Redding, LB Robert Mathis Injured Vs Steelers

It was a rough first half from an injury standpoint for the Colts during their "Sunday Night Football" preseason game at Pittsburgh. Indianapolis lost DL Cory Redding early in the game to a leg injury, then OLB Robert Mathis was sent to the sideline with a shoulder strain.

Colts-Steelers Week 2 Pre-Season Preview

Andrew Luck and the new-look Colts, fresh off of an impressive (even for pre-season) victory against the Rams last week, head to Heinz Field to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Don’t expect a repeat performance. Pre-season or not, you had better believe the Steelers defense took notice of what Luck did against St. Louis, and will be determined not to let it happen twice. The Rams...

Redskins selling Griffin-Luck rivalry T-shirt

Via Helmet2Helmet  |  August 17, 2012
It’s not often that there’s a large amount of hype surrounding a preseason contest. This year, however, there’s one exception — Colts vs. Redskins. Andrew Luck vs. Robert Griffin III; No. 1 overall pick vs. No. 2 overall pick. Battle of the highly-touted quarterbacks. You get the picture. Both teams will meet at FedEx Field on August 25, and the home team is doing their best...
