The Colts list every single nicked-up player, guys who have been playing with minor injuries for weeks, something they didn't do before. Don't know if the NFL is cracking down on these things and demanding the utmost in compliance or maybe another team complained about these guys. Anyway, here's the laundry list.

This, along with a large number of players missing time makes for the longest Colts injury report I've ever seen. Unfortunately the list is not just long but star studded.

I was somewhat surprised to see DE Dwight Freeney in the locker room today, then he pronounced he, too, was "day to day" despite reports he will miss at least the next two games with a strained right quadriceps. Freeney says he's a fast healer and sounds as anxious as a man can be to get back on the field. (Will have more from Freeney's chat in another post.) Ra...

Addai is over rated and under motivated. The line was green as a June tomato and couldn't block a toddler off an Oreo. The biggest problem they face is getting the run game back into it. I don't think they have to talent to block for it. I think they have upgraded at the tailback position. Putting those things together still doesn't make a run game. You gotta have both. With that in mind, I think that old Tom M...
